Hey. I've been sick this week. Forgive me. Big thanks to Mark of the Monday Graveyard for his shouts this past fortnight. His show is dope! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Launch Compilation (Speaker Footage)
New label this, I gather affiliated with Phinery? Loads of music, stupidly cheap price, friends of Bandcloud like Broshuda, Nadia Khan and Druid Cloak involved. Jump in.

Dalot & .adoo - Phantom Strains
Latest release on This Is It Forever, this features two lenghty drones. Nom. I will be checking out more from Dalot for sure. 

DJ Guy - Basf Ferro
Missed this on Bandcamp somehow by refreshing the Cejero bigcartel. This is a four-track release of (even) more of Guy's old material, rugged and blissful and pumping. White Tape Trk 1 is particularly beautiful, while 'Cds 90 X3r Trk 4' is reminiscent of a jacked-up Boards of Canada's 'Staircase Whip' (if they really made that tune, but anyway). If you look closely at the record in the pic you'll see it's dedicated to Greg Evans, Guy's twin, who sadly passed away earlier this year. RIP.

Polo House - A Look Into The Bowels Of The Polish House Underground [TRNSPOLO]
Shouts to Juno for sharing this one. it caught my eye because it features Lutto Lento, who's just joined the Where To Now? family, but the rest is quite good too. It's all quite sensuous house music, classic sounding but not in thrall to the past. 

Rinse FM Podcast - SK Vibemaker w/ Tink + Kali Uchis - 17th June 2015
Three-hour radio show from SK Vibemaker, in which he interviews rising star Tink. Her dad recorded her early mixtapes! That's mad, Ted.

female:pressure #3 [Feat. Heidi Mortenson]
"female pressure is an international network of female artists in the fields of electronic music and digital arts." This is a recent show on Frission Radio featuring the work of Heidi Mortenson. A one-hour show, it moves from acid techno and EBM to ambient washes and fuzzy robotic love songs. 

yamaneko - Nautilus Dawn
If you haven't already listened, why not? It's a mix done by Yamaneko for Deadboy's NTS show (DB's part was awesome too, check that on Mixcloud if you have the chance). It's drifting, haunting music, ultimately redemptive and wholly beautiful. It also features some of his recent collabs with Mr Mitch. And that Suzanne Ciani track! 

TTB004 | NTS Radio
Out to Tabitha from Truants/NTS. Special shouts for the Traumprinz and Errorsmith & Mark Fell tracks. 

H.O.M - Untitled B
Sorry Tabitha. This one deserves its own entry. House Mora, don't know anything about them, but this is sublime. Featured on the above show. Beautiful.

x-ray three: Benjamin Finger - Darnskullgreyness (from Amorosa Sensitiva LP)
Benjamin Finger is relentless. He's done two albums in the past few months (Pleasurably Lots, Motion Reverse) that are both superb, if hugely different. Now this pops up, a release for our friends at Blue Tapes/X-Ray Records. And guess what. It's great. 

Jill Scott - Gettin' in the way (Alis edit)
In which Alis edits/covers Jill Scott. Slathering waves of crushing electronics.. 

Ata Kak - Daa Nyinaa
Few months (decades) old this. I think I first heard it on the Hessle show, but it's slowly wormed its way into my ear/heart. This was apparently the original Awesome Tape From Africa, and now it's been remastered and rereleased. Whoop.

Enjoy the sunshine. If you're at Sónar, enjoy, be good etc.

All the best,

Aidan
