Free your mind and float away, you’re now entering the mode of the Growing Bin. Hamburg’s centre for audio enlightenment is back with another sublime sensory experience, this time from the land of the rising sun.
Keen to get another stamp on his passport, Basso reached out to Japanese duo Singu, two open minded cats who just love to jam. Marrying Kiyo’s free drumming with Keta Ra’s melodic mastery of keyboard and guitar, the two-piece fuse free jazz, post-rock, kosmische and ambient into immersive and esoteric improvisations. Free from any compositional concerns, the Hiroshima outfit trade in energy, emotion and expression.

The frenetic percussion and ephemeral melodies of opener ‘Aurora Gate’ instantly transport you to the breathless churn of a Tokyo crossroads, where thousands of people rush by but you stand still in the eye of the storm. Though they may be explosive, the drums sit back in the mix, offering a soft intensity behind the shimmering wall of melody. A nimble and nuanced affair, ‘Bop’ brings rapid fire rhythm, slick syncopation and hypnotic piano refrains. Cool bass rolls along like KDJ’s ‘Rectify’, as Singu update the acid jazz template like Toshio Matsuura covering Carl Craig. Singu journey from far out to Furthur on A- side closer ‘Nagebu’, strapping in for psychedelic synth wig out which is heavy on the resonance and free on the filter.

Blooming out of the darkness on the B1, Basso favourite ‘Fazaria’ soothes and moves you with its twinkling keys, nebulous wave forms and delicate guitar, leaving you wide eyed in wonder as the drum fills burst like fireworks across a starfilled sky. ‘828’ sweeps into abstraction as Kiyo and Keta Ra combine snapping glitches and aquatic electronics with fractal guitar tones and woozy bass, pushing through a portal to see what’s beyond. An a-grade wall melter, this trip makes great use of tension as the crisp ma- chine drums stand in sharp contrast to the whirring, blurring guitars. Finally ’44’ carries you home on a downbeat drift, a flawless fusion of buzzing electronics, misty pads and relentless percussion played with perfect poise.

Turn on, tune in and trip out, Singu bring you music from the moment that you’ll love for a lifetime.

SALLAD EGG at ZMAR Festival 2024

Recorded live at @zmarfestival 2024 on a Saturday night in an enchanted quarry somewhere in rural Czechia it was this set, this special place and all the wonderful people attending this gathering of likeminded spirits that inspired my DC mix from September – that’s why there’s a few overlaps in the selection of tracks. But to catch the spirit of that magical weekend this live recording is the real deal.

Past Forward #96 with Franz Bobel

live recording 5am onwards on the opening night at the incredible @zmarfestival this summer (with some post productional tweaking for listener pleasure - still some questionable dynamics going on/pitch bending but that is nice)... I had a bold and dangerous plan but ending up reaching for the trusty house records I have loved forever

amazing amazing festival would recommend highly, listen to other sets from the weekend

This radio show reincarnates the old Ukrainian radio, which broadcasted across the country by wires. A small plastic radio device was usually hang up in every kitchen and broadcasted news, shows and music non-stop from 6:00 till midnight. That's why people called it "chatterbox".

“This show is not only created to entertain you with cool tunes. But first of all - to create an imaginary space and time in which the old Ukrainian radio continues to be oldy and at the same time relevant for all categories of citizens.”

WORLDWIDE SERVICE OF RADIO UKRAINE #19

Mutant Radio (Tbilisi, GE) monthly residency, episode #42, November '24. Two hour session from the HQ, fun jam with the Amsterdam based homie/Deutsche musician Till Hormann. He is the singer and guitar player of the band Délage and in 2023 his first solo instrumental EP – THE WAY SOUND MOVES DRAWING OVER AND OVER THE BLUEPRINT OF A LOOP FOR EVERY SITUATION – has been released by Bad Boy Jesus Tape Club. Here's 200% German music for two hours, except for one 80's Dutch parody EP that sounds more German than I’ll probably ever do. 'Ein tropical drink bitte!’

Mutant Radio - Inner Overtones w. Jouko & Till Hormann [23.11.2024]

I welcome you, dear listeners!

You are listening to the worldwide service of Radio Ukraine. This show explores the roots of Ukrainian radio, which ironically began not through waves but wires—more like a telephone system. People used small plastic speakers at home, nicknamed "chatterboxes," for background bla-bla during the day.  

Over time, this old-school radio became a rural staple, still found in some villages today. For my generation, its sound evokes carefree childhoods in a newly independent Ukraine, now carrying even deeper meaning. This show reimagines a space where that radio lives on, blending Ukrainian music from all eras with pieces from the radio archive.

NO DEMOS PLEASE! 
growing bin records is a micro-label and online record store. With lots of love and affection we bring you music that is special to our ears. Well actually we're a one man business, but "we" sounds a bit more professional, or maybe even royal. Forget about that. We're small and not a bit royal and we'll stay small and loyal. Cheers!  If I should not react to your demo I probably didn't feel it, and I'm too shy to tell you.  Sorry but life is short and I don't release stuff that i feel 100%. Keep on keeping on! 
I am actually not releasing much at all at the moment as I am focussing on selling the thousands of used records in my studio (that has to move later in the year) so do me a favour and come over to the bin aka www.growingbinrecords.com and help me get rid of the gold ...(no not my own collection!)
