Zodiac Childs

It is all about timing; with their debut album "Atoms To Atoms" across three stunning pieces of vinyl coming later this month, the timing is perfect for a 55min mix with a good few unreleased/up and coming tracks from Zodiac Childs and some of their favourite artists alongside tried and tested heaters old and new. 

Zodiac Childs channels the spirit of UK hardcore; sonically leaning on the sounds of electro, classic breaks and techno. They tend to take their audience on a journey across the entire nightlife experience, from atmospheric opener to the energy of abandoned northern English factories and mills, rusted and empty yet filled by 303 basslines. 

With otherworldly EP releases on Exalt, Further Electronix and their own Zodiac Wax they will now finally add to their impressive discography with their new LP:

‘This album is a proper snapshot into the mind of Zodiac Childs & the foundation of what’s to come. It’s all about a genuine vibe, a feeling, a love for playing with energy & emotion. A rich tapestry of sound, not being confined to a specific genre & a constant obsession with analogue synths & hardware reverbs’ 

- Zodiac Childs

It will be released on the 26th of November but you can already preorder it on their Bandcamp. 

Let their music do the talking.

Bristol resident lee makes blissed out/spacey eletro-acid and break-beat driven IDM. His sound is characterised by an unhealthy penchant for Roland TR drum patterns, ethereal pads and tasty acid lines. lee’s tunes owe a great deal to the traditional god-fathers of Braindance but also more recent influences such as Wisp, Microlith and even Burial.

lee received his first break in 2018 with the release of ‘Solace’ on the now defunct Calcul Records. Following this, he became involved in X4 Records with a track included on every VA compilation they have released.

In 2020, lee released his debut album ‘Alcyonian’ on Concrete Collage followed later by the self-released ‘Kindred/Ditty’ single later that year.

A string of releases on other VAs occurred throughout 2020, including tracks on the Five Year Anniversary CD for Evel Records, on the VA for the mysterious Gablonkers collective and on the Creation of a Positron VA for the Bristol-based Sci-Fact label.

In 2022, lee signed-up to put out that notoriously difficult second album on Artificial Intelligence, as well as contributing a track to Artificial Intelligence’s Vol. II. The new album ‘For Emma’ is out on vinyl on Artificial Intelligence on the 30th December.

This podcast showcases lee’s sound over a relatively short four year musical career. lee says “It was fun putting all the tracks I’ve released over the years into one thing. You kind-of forget about tracks once they’re done. It’s strange to think that people might listen to all of it. Well done to any who makes it through to the end, and I hope you enjoyed it!”

"Unreleased Territory" evokes the allure of uncharted domains waiting to be explored, whether in the physical world or within oneself. It embodies the spirit of adventure and curiosity, beckoning individuals to venture beyond familiar boundaries into realms yet to be discovered. These unexplored territories may manifest as untapped potential, undiscovered talents, or uncharted landscapes waiting to reveal their secrets. Embracing the journey into Unreleased Territory is an invitation to embrace uncertainty, confront challenges, and uncover hidden treasures that await those brave enough to embark on the expedition of self-discovery and exploration.

Bringing the far eastern experience to her DJ sets, Casper is a sound of the times. Blending bass music with techno and implementing experimental, ambient and downtempo genres too, Casper’s sets have a unique way of careening into other styles while remaining resolutely focused, but not restricted to, just the club.

Feed The Void w/ Birds & Inga Vy - 23rd April 2024

“Dispatches from the NYC underground: left field electronics, raw live cuts, unreleased gems and other oddities selected by the Lost Soul Enterprises crew and extended family, this week featuring DJ set by Heidi Sabertooth recorded live at Good Room April 12 2024 and a special guest set from Michael Kuntzman, a staple of the Memphis music scene.

Lost Soul Enterprises with Heidi Sabertooth and Michael Kuntzman [25.04.2024]

In 2006, the musical landscape was very different; there was no streaming, “shazam" was a word used by magicians, and "all-access” was not granted to the general public. Social media, as we know it, was in its infancy and today’s constant digital feed of interruptions, notifications, refreshes and “likes” didn't yet exist. Those with a thirst for the overlooked regions of the record store had to quench themselves in the climes of the online world's music blogs, and while that digital community was surely expanding, NYC’s www.lovefingers.org was something different. Not a blog but a daily unfolding mix — no opinions, reviews, or backstories were coupled with the music, no full albums or submissions from the outside — it was a mysterious watering hole in the burgeoning digital desert where rogue tracks from Wally Badarou rubbed shoulders with those of Holger Czukay, the drama of Sylvester juxtaposed with the quirkiness of Hosono, and countless other coveted artists’ unearthed gems melted in one pot, a digital space where $1 thrift store scores could easily breathe the same dusty air as cosmic holy grails, oddball psychedelics and proto-electronica b-sides comfortably cohabited with $300 private-press folk rarities. With 1 track per day, Andrew “Lovefingers” Hogge created a truly democratic and educated selection of music for our aural pleasure, and labelled them ‘Fingertracks' (numbered 001-999).

The community around Lovefingers’ site was a call-to-action, gathering analogous minds and inviting them all to the same party, and on New Years Day 2010, after 999 Fingertracks and a plethora of (now classic) mixes, the site made a final post stating, “That's all folks!” The collective energy pivoted into the ESP Institute, a record label and art platform to champion new artists who emerged from this foundational community and as a catalyst to push the musical dialogue forward. Now, as the ESP Institute approaches its 10-year anniversary, we revisit the significant role www.lovefingers.org played in shaping where we are today.

'Fingertracks Vol : 1' is a snapshot of aural delights that were on offer to those of the leftfield persuasion, all who discovered the site and tuned-in for their daily shot of sonics proper — a lovingly selected handful of records that re-introduce the story of Andrew’s most influential and essential music resource. The track list is classic Lovefingers, an insight into the free-flowing nature of the daily Fingertracks, context-free but connected through creative threads and energies — lo-fi loner jams brush up alongside sleazed-out Italo powerhouses, Greek new age obscurities tussle against overlooked Hawkwind-related cuts — nuggets that may be more known to the heads now, but whose initial excavation can be accredited to Lovefingers’ site, and are essential to its story nonetheless. Rumor has it that this is merely the first volume in a series, so as it turns out, and gladly so, “That’s not all folks!”
