The music is name your price on Bandcamp, and proceeds are going to Mind In The City, based in Hackney in London. For 10 days he held live workout sessions on his Instagram in an assortment of 80s-inspired outfits, inviting users to blast these tunes for 10 minutes a day. On a completely different tip, Northern Irish producer and would-be gym instructor Hammer recently released a collection of 10-minute workout tracks. One comment from a fan on Bandcamp reads as follows:įUCK! YES! FINALLY! YESS! GOOD NOISE! JUST GOOD NOISE! NONE OF THIS 'ATMOSPHERE' AND 'CONCEPT' ETC. Fine in small doses but a lot to take across nearly 30 minutes. It’s all intriguing and otherworldly, haunting yet intimate.Įverything about this makes me feel uneasy, from the chosen artist name to the image to the music itself. This new show kicks off with 40 minutes of “voices and sounds from Eastern Europe”. Wonderful sounds here from Adam Badí Donoval on. That base track is called ‘Travelling’ and it’s by someone called Master Jay. Even if you miss the Cybotron sample she sounds great over this shuffling and jazzy beat, a virtuoso keyboard solo snaking over and around her iconic vocals. Missy is always fun, and this track is just super. I let the algo play (I’M SORRY) and ended up on this one and boy it’s fun. SMTH SNDS - Lose Control (AMAPIANO Mash Up) It’s got an air of melancholy though, more dark sunset than afternoon party. Similarly vibesy (yes that’s a word and secondly it’s most appropriate here), it’s heavy on the hi-hats and shakers. On the above artist’s page I also found this remix of Dutch artist Jarreau Vandal. Jarreau Vandal - Slow It Down Ft Kiah Victoria (DJ Kwamzy Remix) It’s kind of lush and warm and jazzy and soulful. Amapiano is a South African style of music characterised by airy, breezy synths over house beats. I came across this one after seeing it reposted on SoundCloud. Omah Lay - Infinity (DJ Kwamzy Amapiano Remix)

It’s broken and choppy and features lots of bird sounds. Tucked-in Sound - For the Laugh, Mastered by Warren LucyĪ nice weird techno-y track from Tucked-in Sound, a producer “Live here now, Ireland”. This one takes a different approach, using material he would later sample as well as the voice of the man speaking about his process among other things. Here’s another DOOM special, from PTP boss GENG. GENG PTP - MF DOOM Tribute (via Channel PTP On Montez Press Radio) Mutualism W/ Iceboy Violet - MF DOOM Tribute on NTS Radio - 13th Feb 2021Ī super special from Iceboy Violet taking in an hour of special moments from MF DOOM, with freestyles and remixes alongside album favourites. It’s underground, possibly even no-audience underground, with sounds ranging from crunchy noise built on the bones of field recordings to searing cello sounds mixed with electronics, the occasional ditty and some dank non-ambient numbers. Rites of Kindling is a diverse compilation of sounds brought together by Liquid Library (lo-fi till we die) to raise money for Bristol's emergency COVID winter fund. I’m not familiar with EBM and such sounds at all so this mix was a bit of an eye (ear?) opener.

KEYIMAGAZINE:ANDI HARRIMAN (full vinyl mix) Also fitting are the slow movements within each track, ideas building gradually from nothing to big swells of sound and emotion. There are tracks entitled ‘-2 ☌’ and ‘-3 ☌’, fitting for such a label. They’ve previously released on Geographic North, Dark Entries, Jacktone and Glacial Movements, the label that’s releasing this work. He’s a prolific artist and his latest work combines in collaboration with Daniel Blomquist, his long-time musical companion. There weren’t many Bandcloud guest mixes last year but one of them came from Aria Rostami. Aria Rostami and Daniel Blomquist - Still
