Curious and contemporary dispatches from the Land Of Song.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Cwm Dancing; a unique music podcast that unearths and celebrates the many underground, leftfield, DIY, experimental, alternative and beat-based sounds of Wales.

Hip-hop to house music via drum & bass, trance, alt-pop and plenty, plenty more, the rule is simple - if it's made in Wales, made by a Welsh artist or released on a Welsh label then it's getting played.

Bangers from Bangor. Newness from Newport. Records from Raglan. Dubplates from Denbigh. The works.

Episode three is the most extensive and comprehensive show so far. This time we celebrate Dydd Miwsig Cymru (Feb 10) with an extensive interview with Mr Phormula and a feature with Afanc Records boss Gwion Roughion. We also speak at length with Dead Method about his new album and his experiences as an LGBTQ+ artist in Wales and wrap up the show with a crucial mini mix from rising Welsh jungle crafstman NonRev!

All this and so much more.... Cult classics, unreleased exclusives, dual language music, all delivered with great passion and detailed information by renowned music journalist and 1 More Thing founder Dave Columbo Jenkins.

Disquiet Junto Project 0138: Video Sonic Void The Assignment: Compose a 2.5-minute soundtrack to complement a work of silent video art.

Many thanks to the San Jose Museum of Art for inspiring and encouraging this project.

This week’s project involves writing music to accompany a short video. The video is “Untitled #8, 2004″ by the artist Josh Azzarella. His original work is silent, and we’ll be adding music to it that complements the source material. Do note that the video is intended by the artist as a “Never Ending Loop.”

The instructions are straightforward:

Step 1: Watch the following video.

Step 2: Compose and record a piece of audio that matches the video in length.

Step 3: Upload your piece of audio to the Disquiet Junto group’s SoundCloud page, following the instructions below.

Step 4: Listen to and comment on the other tracks posted by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

The “Untitled #8, 2004″ video is archived along with other works on the following page at the artist’s website. “Untitled #8, 2004″ is the fourth video in from the left. Its length is 2:31 (2 minutes and 31 seconds):

Background Information: The “Untitled #8, 2004″ video by Josh Azzarella is part of the permanent collection of the San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, California. This Disquiet Junto project is the result of an invitation by the Museum for me to develop a sound installation to be displayed on its second floor from October 2014 through February 2015. Tracks submitted to this project will be considered for inclusion in that installation.

Have I ever said that the world has become crazy? In this prologue, perhaps? Well, if so or if not: The world has become crazy. Lot's of strange guys (mostly men of course) are going nuts with their ideas of how to treat people. And how to do politics for the people. But, you are not here for reading me ranting. You might have a completely different view on the world entirely. What unites us is the love for electronic based music, and that's what you get in good measure tonight. Incredible tracks by Elektronische Maschine (Life goes on), Faber One & Starlight and BIST & CIXXXJ (Pianeta Ephedrina Vol Uno), Mindheal (Heart and Mind), Simon Heartfield (The State Of Social Movement), Side Liner (Guilty Kitty), Ætheros & city at worlds end and Proton 42 (IDMf Retrospective Vol. 5), Eko_Fisk & Gears in the Rain (Dark Air), Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate (The Uncertainty Principle), Wormhole (Hot Trax Vol. 2), Mitochondrial Sun (Machine Dialectics).

syndae - episode 752

Up next week is April fools' day. Are you in for making fun of people? By definition, it is the day of the year where practical jokes take over and one gets targeted with pranks, which sometimes seem real or get very close to reality. For some country, 2025 may have started as a fool's year, and may stay so for some while (no orange bun intended). But I am not going into politics here. This is a place of joy and fun and should stay so for everyone. So, back to the start. Do you do pranks? Or know of good ones? If so, let me know in the comments. I am always up for a little joke, even I might not look like it. On the other hand, I really like cool and great and modern electronic music. And this is what you will get in tonight's editon with tracks by Urs Fuchs (Wolkenfee), Stefan Erbe (Metamorphosys), AeTopus (iota), Simon Heartfield (The State Of Social Movement), AMPTEK (Pianeta Ephedrina Volume Due), Grosso Gadgetto & Brainquake (Distorted Planet), Feralia Planitia (Hyperphantasmic), niteffect (aztec), Steve Joy (Hatchback), Tonewolf (The Heavy), B. Ashra & Ricky Deadking (Live at U-Site Fusion 99).

syndae - episode 760

Label compilation from 2008, picked by Adam Walton as one of this top ten Welsh albums of the decade.

12 The Hidden Persuader - Electro Job Seeker

Psychic Waves are a duo who perform, play and mix LIVE using original, vintage analogue synths and drum machines from the Roland stable. No two performances are ever the same.....

Psychic Waves

Love In Sects

Another cut from a 20 minute live mix-down of the machines at work. Roland TR-808 shooting triggers to a Roland Juno6 and a Juno60. Running it live, tweaking the knobs, a couple of delay, phaser and overdrive pedals at work. Listen close and you can hear some crunch in the sliders. That's how it is when it's for real. So much fun. Next up gonna sync a TR-707 for some 12 bit digital crunch in there somewhere. Stay tuned.
