February 19, 2011I don’t know a lot about this hook-up, as the guys behind it have managed to keep it quite hush. From what I understand though, Black Atlantic is the joint force of some of our favourite promoters, though whether as a one off or a permanent move I’m not too sure. I do know RBMA are involved to some degree,…
February 17, 2011Been meaning to bomb this up for a while, as this is going to be big. And unless you live under a rock you’re probably already counting down the days until the 20 F**king Years Of Planet E night goes down on the 5th of March at Ewer Street car park. Big ups to London Warehouse Events for hooking up…
February 15, 2011UPDATE – You can now PRE-ORDER ‘Marie’ / Ghettotechno’ via Redeye Records: http://www.redeyerecords.co.uk/products/NKC/NKC_AWK003.html Stepping up for our next wax pressing comes NKC, now London based and already signed up for for a big year across a handful of labels including Awkward Movements. UPDATE – Check the designs on the plate here. We’re staying low on this one, hand-stamped whites individually…
February 14, 2011There’s been a load of dope music dropping from a variety of sources lately, it’s hard to stay on top of it all, but Kamikaze DJs have proper outdone themselves this time round. Probably my favorite Awkward Movements Sessions dropped to date they manage to flow in some reggae with their electronica, and choirs with their techno, whilst keeping it…
February 12, 2011Damn this is some interesting music. Dropping Monday on Pictures Music comes the digital release from Chairman Kato, London based artist who’s been getting some heat of late. To be honest I generally don’t go massively in for the drone-melody types of sounds, but there’s something about Kato’s productions that definitely made me check twice. It could be the fact…
February 10, 2011New podcast from some of our friends in Germany, Trust In Bass drop number 11 in their increasingly dope offerings. The podcasts are spawned from the monthly night of the same name, hosted by Clearcut and other breakbeat enthusiasts from Osnabrück, Germany. Definitely a night I need to check out on my next trip to the area. This time around…
February 9, 2011Since we first chatted in Melbourne in 2006, I’ve been following Oddisee with a constant look of awe. Or at least trying to follow him. The underground producer / artist / label runner and hip-hop historian remains an important link to the worldwide scene for anyone in to beats, rhymes or digging. If you’re not on his mailing list, drop…
February 7, 2011There’s been enough written about The Dirtbombs recent album of Detroit techno covers, titled Party Store, for me to really add anything new or overly meaningful. So instead I’ll just add my own opinion, that it probably lives up the hype. I first saw The Dirtbombs play in Sydney, right when the now defunct White Stripes threw the spotlight back…
February 2, 2011London may be the most expensive place I’ve ever lived, but damned if it doesn’t pay dividends for the scene it houses (no pun intended). Two big events are happening this Saturday, 5th of February, unfortunately falling on the same night, but luckily both in EC2. I’ve been looking forward to Fudge Fingas debut LP, titled Now About How, dropping…
February 1, 2011You’ve got to love the creative mind. Where “send me ten releases that you liked from the last 12 months” somehow turned in to Jimmy Monstafunk sending us the names of his favourite news stories of the year, Daojia sending honorable mentions that haven’t yet been released, and now over a month later, in the case of Lorca, the delivery…
