It was an ABSOLUTE pleasure having the guys from Bristol, UK's IDLES in the CJLO environment the morning after a sweaty show in Montreal March 22, 2018.  They recorded a great four song set for us, and then we talked about western culture's strange relationship with grief, catharsis through performing live, and connecting with their audience.  Be sure to check out the video links below for more content!

● IDLES - "Mother" (CJLO Sonics Session)

Hooked on Sonics - Session & Interview w/ IDLES

Vasco Gumede also known as Laze Breaks has been a long serving member of London’s unique pirate radio community. A self confessed house addict he says “there is some kind of house tune for any occasion”. He believes a constant desire for fresh sounds and innovative idea’s is the source of his addiction and despite regularly enjoying playing an eclectic selection on both radio shows and live gigs he says “house music has the best all round discipline and demand for high quality production, and besides its estranged sibling hip hop is the most open to variations influenced by both local and global cultures.”
Since 2006 he has been putting out free mix tapes, which have been received with love. And despite having not yet reached the upper echelons of notoriety, he has remained relentless with a high standard of well formulated mixes, free of adverts for upcoming “raves”, and this approach has not gone unnoticed. Punters and listeners who have come across his mixes have always given him positive feedback and reviews, which he feels far outweigh the monetary side of performing live gigs and is adamant he will always try to channel his addiction into shareable medium. So we can look forwards to free CD’s from Laze Breaks , as long as we are still using CD players.......

recluse. crummy coder. sound-obsessed & speckly. experienced in inexperience.  childhood foreshadowing as mother shopping waiting in car radio knob twisting static seeking timed/untimed station changing intrigue. pre-teen starts eadgbe constant companion until ecclesiastes 1:9 type of realization sends seeking more. find computer bridge to new sounds. 20s  humbled and silenced by cage; found soul-mate oliveros; enlightened by roads. time flows. old things, new things breeding and mutating. should "my sound" emerge--past in vain; if this if, silence vowed; shame until final clock tick.

Yer weekly dose of indie rock, post-punk, power pop, shoegaze, math rock, noise pop, post-hardcore and anything with loud guitars...with some extras tossed into the mix. Hosted by Omar Sonics and a rotating cast of guests.
