Sun Ra: Do the Impossible

Excited for this….

Bill Shakes – I Remember When Freddo’s Used To Be 5p (prod. Sly Moon)

Demdike Stare – Past Majesty

Just woke up to this. Face-melting excellency from Demdike Stare…

Oneohtrix Point Never – Lifeworld

Tom & Jerry – Escape (1993)

Dydd Gwener!!!!! The weekend has landed, this chubby middle-aged man has eaten his body weight in roast fish, and the sun is blastin’. As good a reason as any to revisit some early Apocalypse Now-sampling Jungle brilliance from the mighty Tom and Jerry!

Ghost Dubs – Dub Battle (2024)

It’s Thursday afternoon, 28 °C here, and I’m baking some Laugenstangen while listening to modernist dub deeper than the Mariana Trench, courtesy of Ghost Dubs. Released last year on The Bug’s Pressure Sounds label, it’s minimal, spectral, and about as deconstructed as you can get. A phantom in my headphones.

Bobby Lyle – Inner Space (1978)

Dydd Mercher, and it’s a stunner here: 25 °C, one cloud in the sky — “Nimbo cumulo” vibes for all you Fast Show fans (showing my age here) — and I can see all the way out to Serra do Marão. So, in that spirit, let’s enjoy a gorgeous bit of ethereal soul-jazz noodling from Bobby Lyle’s 1978 album, New Warrior.

Timothy J. Fairplay – I Lay Awake at Night Scheming, 2023

Dydd Mawrth. It’s a beautiful day in the valley, and I’m enjoying this trancedance tape‑house belter from the inimitable Timothy J. Fairplay. Saturated drums, beautiful melodies, and darkly weirdness—what more could you ask for?

Trees Speak – Pyramid (2021)

Lacking sleep and lurching around the studio with a sort of zombie gait… it’s Monday, I suppose. Anyway, I’ve got this bubbling on the headphones: taken from Trees Speak’s magnificent 2021 album, Vertigo of Flaws on Soul Jazz Records. Music is the healing force of the universe and all that. I’m off for another cup of builders. peace x
