Release on Wise Blood Industries

Chuffed to announce that I’ll be releasing an EP over on the ever-eclectic  Wise Blood Industries later in the year.  That’s all for now…

Clean bill of health

Sorry if you’ve been experiencing malware errors when trying to view this site recently. Hopefully this is nearly fixed now, and I can get back to making some mixes…

Truelove’s Gutter

Richard Hawley’s new album is a romantic loungecore delight. My favourite track is the haunting “Don’t Get Hung Up in Your Soul”, which features a musical saw – listen to the other tracks for some equally unusual instrumentation…

Brian Eno – Music For Airports interview

An interesting clip on YouTube on the inspiration for Eno’s seminal ambient release.

Sidenote: just found out that Muzak was the name of an actual company!

Tapes for Listening (Tapes for Dancing)

A funny wee music video on Vimeo made using tapes from tapedeck.org

Dub Echoes (a dubumentary)

Traces the origins of the Jamaican dub music and it’s influence on the development of hip hop and electronic music: www.dubechoes.com
