Bandcloud 291

Something cool to start with. Among all this talk of livestreams, there's something very interesting launching today. Not better or worse than any other! But a bit special I think. Further_In is a new venture that aims to broadcast all kinds of live art, focusing on people who've lost bookings in the current climate. It's all free to view but will have a virtual tip jar. They're kicking off today with a day of films from Mark Lyken and Emma Dove, two films entitled Mirrorlands and Táifēng and the Motorway Saint. On rotation all day today from 2pm GMT. Tomorrow, they're broadcasting The Da-Dark Outside, featuring 28 hours of unheard music from all sorts of names. Noon tomorrow.

Nowrouz 1399 | AIDA | Recorded Live Stream In Quarantine [Vinyl Only]
A perfect mix of electro, acid, deep house, even making room for some classic Green Velvet. No, we don't need this ish.

Sarah Haras - Storm 
Techno ambient blorb sounds from Bahrain.

Fah - Wonky Vision
Cygnus shared this on Facebook, with some high praise. It's interesting electro, full of heart and soul and back pains. "Don't let anyone play this in the club, it won't work, none of the tracks sync well just to give djs a hard time."

Theresa Smith - I Am Sitting In A Room 
Same, Theresa, same. From what I can tell, this is part of a mini festival on Bandcamp. Jon Abbey of Erstwhile Records set up this Facebook group where he's been sharing music from various noise artists on an ongoing basis. Some 33 pieces have already gone up. 

Machine Woman invites Efa O'Neill (Out Of Space) - 27 March 2020
Cool radio show, cool guest! Wonky techno and zippy electro.

Dua Lipa - Break My Heart (outgoing edit)
Super Dua Lipa remix/edit from Glasgow's Outgoing Person. Quarantine anthem innit.

Beachers - FM​/​AM
This album from Beachers explores "the spooky spaces that exist when the needle flutters between stations". What a concept. 

Production Unit - Slow Notes For Marx 2
One-time Bandcloud mixer Production Unit is making drones every week for the duration of this crisis and this one is sublime. Really got to me the other day. Just beautiful.

VA - Fokus Global: 001
This came out in Feb and I missed it??? Olive T shared her track on SC and I caught up at last. That track is super wonky and bouncy and unexpected in its avenues and directions. The comp features wicked tracks from DJ Wawa, Devoye and Skulptor to name a few. 

Félicia Atkinson - Everything Evaporate
Some aural balm from this French purveyor of excellence, inspired by the paintings of Helen Frankenthaler. Liminal edges at the threshold of consciousness, as the blurb explains. My brain is too foggy to write any more, I'm sorry.

Andrulian - Grains
This sounds like the inside of my frazzled brain. Features Spanish number stations and the sound of broken toys, among other things. Fuzzy.

SWAYA FOR DANCE.ROOM.RADIO
A fun mix with lots of blends and sped up/pitched down vocals. Beyoncé, Ludacris, Eve, 'Show Me Love', lots of Ha crashes. Steadily builds in tempo then goes wherever it wants.
