Blue Suede Platforms - Who's Better

I'm waking up
I say what's up
The sky is up
I go to school
I say "what happened to you?"
She said she had the flu
I'm going to school

Girl Zone - Waking Up (feat. Rieth)

[...] lightly explosive rhythmically, but with a somewhat dark
textural centre. The You Had Me At Hello trio sound great on their own, but the conceptual basis of these singles is pretty massive. It'd be great to have a jukebox full of them.

Here's a little teaser from the upcoming Lucida cassette recorded by Nick S, soon to be released on Albert's Basement.

LUCIDA - MEASURED (unfinished mix/unmastered)

Another track from Köhn's new album 'Kreis Plön', out on KRAAK, on the 9th of June. Pre-order at kraak.bandcamp.com.

Almost 20 years ago Jürgen De Blonde debuted on KRAAK with the nowadays unfindable and almost visionary album köhn 1. It was the starting point for a vital and wondrous exploration that lead him over paths of glitch, idm, shoe gaze, hypnagogic pop, improvised music, straight forward synth music, field recordings and kraut. 

In the middle of this ungraspable adventure through contemporary electronic music, Köhn stands as a genuine artist that stayed true to the curious spirit of the DIY knob twiddling and boggling boy he once was. 

KRAAK is proud to present his 7th album on KRAAK — Kreis Plön, which documents and envisions 20 years of exploring. It’s an album that is about a fusion of the past and the future, of separation and reconfiguration, of mourning and rejoicing, of noise and peace. Kreis Plön is about geolocation. It’s about probable fiction and looking for bits of different puzzles that fit together. An exercise in linear and perpendicular coherence devoid of any objective logic. 

In the middle of the album an artist is envisioning his place in the Now, questioning how or when he got there, as he links memories to imaginary places, and real places to imaginary histories. Kreis Plön stands as such a masterpiece that bluntly envisions the future of electronic music.

VALE SEAN BAXTER 
1970-2020

We are crushed by the terrible news of Sean's passing. The Melbourne (and all over) experimental / improvised / noise scene took a huge blow just a few days before the start of the confinement, with the passing of legendary drummer, noise artist, curator, DIY stalwart, lover and enthusiast for all things strange, fukkd and brutal Sean Baxter.
I made a radio show of his music, with a few anecdotes, stories and quotes thrown in. If anyone is involved in radio, online or otherwise, and wants to get it aired please feel free to download to get the files.
