RENDEZVOUS, L.A. is proud to present this year's official unofficial Beyond Fest mixtape! To celebrate ten years of Beyond Fest, DJ Alfonso has compiled and mixed an hour long mix of soundtrack cues from select films that have screened at L.A.'s premiere genre festival. As always, RENDEZVOUS encourages you to support the featured artists by buying their physical and/or digital releases.

Beyond Fest 2022 Mixtape

45 vintage cuts decanted and mixed into a 56-minute Molotov cocktail of Bolshevik beats, Kollywood funk, ostracised ostrock and pan-Asian pop oddities by renowned record hound, LP compiler, international DJ and co-founder of Finders Keepers Records, Doug Shipton.

Dedicated Swallower Of Fashion is a cacophony of syncopated psychedelic madness that draws from his enviably expansive record collection and challenging DJ sets, dusting off handpicked fuzz-ridden-break-heavy platters from as far and wide as Malaysia, France, India, Germany, USA, Russia, Spain, Columbia, Italy and Indonesia.
 
Not content with his involvement in the aforementioned labours of love, the South London rare-disc-detective divides his time working alongside fellow B-Music crusaders and label mate Andy Votel not only in unearthing schizoid channel-hopping artifacts from the alternate-annals of pop history, but also uncovering the finest in off-kilter independent music for Manchester’s very own homemade and house-proud, singular-minded non-label Twisted Nerve (along with co-label boss Badly Drawn Boy), as well as manning his bespoke pocket empire Battered Ornaments Records – responsible for cultivating the much sought after debut releases of reactionary fuzzed out mutant psych misfits Wolf People and cosmic Anglo-krautrockers The Laughing Windows.

DJ duties have seen him traverse the globe sharing needle time with the likes of David Holmes, The Gaslamp Killer, Edan, Jarvis Cocker, Andrew Weatherall, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Richard Norris (Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve/The Time And Space Machine) and Graham Massey (808 State), whilst compilation call-ups have seen him pit his wits and his wax against The Gaslamp Killer, Bob Stanley (St. Etienne), and Chris Geddes (Belle & Sebastian) amongst others.

Just in time for the longest UK bank holiday weekend of the year, your intrepid explorers at Finders Keepers Records bring you an epic elongated bumper episode of our regular radiophonic rare record rundown including approximately 50% extra absolutely free!

This time the tangled topic of rock operas, mutant musicals and psychedelic stage shows is discussed, dissected and defended by regular hosts Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton who will be joined by a crooked chorus line including regular Keepers cottage pop patron Jane Weaver, TV's "Toast" main maestro Matt Berry, Cambrofuturist Gruff Rhys and Twisted Nerve co-founder Badly Drawn Boy (as well as the usual musings of a certain slimy crolyn cestodaria). This show is served best with an open mind and closed captioning bringing foreign language rip-offs of West End repeaters, creep show cash-ins and holiday season sequels - not forgetting token doses of horrotica, bastardised ballet and Popera Cosmic anti-classics. 

Marvel as your hosts play expensive Japanese cross-dresser psych sing-alongs while discussing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang standards sung by stars of adult entertainment! Relax to the sound of Minimoog movements that soundtrack the Messiah meeting The Mafia. And celebrate the annual eggsploitation vacation while our combined edutainers mention the words "Jesus", “Christ” and "Superstar" over 76 times! For listeners who aren't too high-brow to compare the work of Jodorowsky and Lloyd-Webber and think that The Wickerman should have been a Vaudevillian blockbuster then this one is for you... and if not, "Dammit, Janet!" Anything you can do, we can do... odder?

Finders Keepers Radio Show - Musicals Special

In celebration and anticipation of Finders Keepers Records' 100th release and the FIRST EVER release of Serge Gainsbourg and Jean-Claude Vannier's full instrumental soundtrack to Les Chemins De Kathmandou the label presents this only official upload of the rare cassette mix-tape HISTOIRE DE MELODY VANNIER mixed by Andy Votel in 2006 (using all original vintage VANNIER vinyl) for the occasion of the first ever live performance of Histoire De Melody Nelson / L'Enfant Assassin Des Mouches at the Barbican Centre in London in the same year.

As a spezial Finders Keepers / Dead-Cert / Pre-Cert Hallowe'en treat here's an upload of the medium-rare Applehead mix-tape made from ten-tons of psuedo giallo witchy wax and global glum-rock. Originally released as 69 red cassettes in clamshell cases at a time when people who spent all their money on (physical)music still drove cars with built-in cassette players. Enjoy / Endure at will!

It’s a West Coast leaning folky affair, travelling through 70s rock and blue eyed soul, more recent stuff by Westerman and Ron Trent, a couple of classic Balearic / Kraut numbers, finishing things off with a mellow gem from Pharoah Sanders. We hope you enjoy.

Dusty Fingers — FW19

"THE LOST GOOD FRIDAY" The collective known as B-Music were SUPPOSED to start a new regular party this weekend (Good Friday 10th April 2020)on the rooftop, in the SUN at YES in Manchester, but, like many events, due to THE VIRUS it had to be postponed. So at the request of the good people at YES... and to make up for the loss of a much needed party, Doug, Andy, Sean and Ben have put together a THREE HOUR mutant mix-tape which pretty much reflects what we were GOING TO PLAY... and also the kind of music we INTEND to play when the world retakes its regular shape. Thanks for glistening. Keep Safe. xxxxx

Andy Votel - Kaptain Zoom V's The T - Doja Twins (Swedish Mixtape)

Behold Finders Keepers, a British record label, 40 years in the making, introducing fans of psychedelic, jazz, folk, funk, avant-garde and whacked-out movie musak to a lost world of undiscovered vinyl artifacts from the annals of alternative pop history.

Catering to record collectors and DJ-producers alike with a huge emphasis on sample friendly soundscapes, rocksteady back-beats and primitive electronic experimentalism. Discerning purveyors of the bizarre and abnormal should expect the Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh rare-beats, bubblegum folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts... presented on CD, 7" and traditional black plastic discs in authentic packaging.

Following in the very same footsteps as the mind boggling "Music To Watch	Girls Cry" and "Songs In The Key Of Death" mix CDs for Fat City Records and the original 5-star rated Finders Keepers compilation LP in 2001, Manc-based vinyl-vulture, recording artist and record producer Andy Votel enlists the skills of fellow B-Music DJ and Rare Disc Detective Doug Shipton to form a team of psychedelic librarians and cosmic-pop-quiz-elitists to run their new Twisted Nerve distant sister-label, leaving no progressive pebble unturned or record collection un-rifled.

Future compilations and re-issues will feature collaborative curators such as David Holmes, Cherrystones and Bob Stanley and further contributions from mystery A- / B+ pop-celebrity fanatics of outsider music and ultra-rare bakelite discs. Finders Keepers is an 'accidental world music label' with a punk aesthetic and DJ friendly ethos which allows the desperate listener to sit back while we deliver schizoid cultural channel-hopping compilations and rocking-horse-shit & hen's-teeth re-releases to the comfort of your psych-starved living room...
