A whole year! Not too bad? The self-aggrandisement shall end soon, don't worry.

There Is No Authority But Yourself - 15 Years Creme Organization - Part 1 (Golly, it's FREE) 
It's all bangers this week, so let's start with the bangeriest collection of bangers. Crème Organization is 15 years old, so they've put together a free comp of 15 bangers. Korg M1 Organ vibes abound on 'Breaker M1' (of course) by Innershades. Drvg Cvltvre's 'Ape Shall Not Kill Ape' is ludicrously haunting. Photonz, BNJMN and Legowelt all appear too. And it's free.

Imperfect Forms - The Music of Kenneth Kirschner Remixed
Kenneth Kirschner is an avant-garde composer and sound artist whose work deals with sound, noise and space, and is always sharead online for free. This is a collection of "remixes" of his work, ranging from blissful tones and drawn-out ambient affairs. I can't even recommend anything specifically as any time I've listened it's just washed over me beautifully.

Elizabeth Veldon - From the Highest Point of the Park You Turn Right and Descend Into the Valley Once Filled by a Lake
Cool title. Elizabeth featured here late in 2014, given her steady work rate it was certain she'd appear again soon (though this was released last year, eep). This is for the intriguing Herhalen label, and features two long, undulating drone passages, brilliantly rendered.

MuRli - Surface Tension
"Coming from Shannon, not Section 8." MuRli is a 24-year-old MC, based in Limerick, Ireland, but of Togolese descent. I saw him support Run The Jewels with God Knows and mynameisjOhn and it was a hugely enjoyable performance This EP, his debut, sees him rap spitfire crazy lines alongside more traditional tempos with lines about Angela's Ashes and bottles of red. Top notch. Artwork comes courtesy of B+, who you may know as having takenthis particular photograph.

memotone - Balloon Plus Distortion
Memotone made a really awesome track for WotNot's Life Between Screens compilation last year, and this is similarly inventive and intriguing. It is, as the title suggests, the sound of a balloon being rubbed and stretched and squeaked and distorted. Brilliant. I was hoping it would explode, but you can't have everything. The artwork is from the 70s, and it was done by his dad!

Solid Steel Radio Show 9/1/2015 Part 3 + 4 - Rita Maia
Out to Yamaneko for sharing this with me. Rita Maia is a Portuguese DJ with a weekly show on Resonance FM. This is a guest mix for the long-running Solid Steel show. This is a warm, deeply tribal mix, with lots of Portuguese stuff and plenty of bangers.

Juno Plus Staff Mix Vol. 6: Brendan Arnott
I didn't want to include this because Brendan's silly Barnt edit featured last week, but I pressed play and couldn't turn it off. It's a riot. Disco into Lee Gamble into Sade. Objekt into Craig Leon into Fergie (albeit edited by Total Freedom). Wonderful. Bangers!

Pan•American - Sketch for Winter II: Rue Corridor
The latest release from the fantastic Geographic North stable is made up of some long-form drips and stretches of sound, hinting at expansion and exposition yet never quite offering release. Fuzz and murk bubble over, the palpable tension heart-rending in its heaviness.

Well. This second half is quite short because SoundCloud happens to be down right now during my prime hunting time. Hmmm. Follow the Twitter (link below, if you're not there already) during the week for sporadic updates.

Have a great weekend, and an even better week.
