I kind of disagree with the write-up for this podcast which comes courtesy of our friends over at XLR8R. Whilst Shed’s podcast for the mag is undeniably ‘banging’ in the warehouse sense of the term, he spends a fair degree of time playing around with higher frequencies and using the bass more as a point [...]

During my first couple of months in Krakow, I found myself living in a small apartment without a washing machine, prompting regular visits to the local laundrette. Luckily for me, Frania Cafe and laundrette proved to be something out of the ordinary: a combined cafe, bar, art gallery with local artists and free wifi-spot. Plus [...]
I know I should be packing at the moment. And Christmas shopping. And learn Polish. And sort out a million and one other things that moving from Cambridge to Krakow via Christmas celebrations in Stockholm involve. It’s just that I’m a little bit infatuated with every track below so I thought I’d spread the love. [...]

Some of these tracks have been around for a while (Alexandroid, RA the Rugged Man and Snowboy – actually one of the first albums I owned) mixed up with a bunch of newer numbers. Given that US Thanksgiving has just passed, I might [...]

Favourite track: Burial’s version of Wayfaring stranger is strangely addictive. Favourite album: James Blake. Funnily enough I don’t listen to it [...]

I have seen a fair bit of the Swedish crime series Wallander on BBC iPlayer recently and have to say I’m growing increasingly fond of the series (this is the Swedish version, with Krister Henrikson as Wallander). This surprised me as I’ve never regarded Wallander or his creator Henning Mankell particularly highly before. I reckon [...]
Last weekend the Cambridge Folk Festival took place, and the highlight was no doubt – with all due respect to Laura Marling who was also brilliant – Katzenjammer: four very talented girls from Norway who play some kind of balkan-inspired polka punk. Now I feel like I should say something profound about the massacre at [...]
Paving the way for the upcoming album ‘Joint Ventures’, Baobinga has thrown together this mix tracing a line from sample-laden acid house of 20 years ago to the jump-up sample-laden dubstep for which the Bristol native is typically known. If you’re looking for nostalgia, or an education on the history of dance music rhythms, or [...]
