A track from my forthcoming tape;  
'THE XENAKIS STATION'  
released on UK label Woodford Halse, released 6th October 2023.

---------- The Xenakis Station. A long abandoned research station. A place always officially denied. The place now a fiction where shards of disputed truth remain.

The location still not de-classified. Remnants destroyed.

Last winter we got a phone call to say graffiti on an abandoned building on Redpoint Sound states" 'Xenakis broadcasts were made here' but official enquiries are still met with silence.

Faint memories remain like distant static or bursts of shortwave. --------------

Global Goon returns with another fine addition to the Painting With Acid series. This 8 track offering is a lengthier and more experimental beast, which combines Goon’s irresistible oddball-acid bops with more smoked-out sonic soundscapes, making for a brilliant and bewitching listen. Painting With Acid Volume 3 is available to pre-order on limited edition cassette & download this Bandcamp Friday (5th October) both as a standalone release and also as part of a tape bundle deal, for those who missed out on his previous two sold out cassette editions.

Global Goon (aka Johnny Hawk) is a former shepherd & programmer from Liverpool. Having moved to London for a multimedia company in the 90s, he began producing music for fun and as a side hustle while rooming with Richard D James/Aphex Twin. Following some encouragement from the man himself, Hawk released his debut album ‘Goon’ on RDJ’s Rephlex imprint in 1996 with rumours that Global Goon was an alias of Aphex Twin’s, persisting even after the release of Cradle of History and Vatican Nitez. He later formed his own label J-Hok Records, before going on to release more hard-hitting acid tracks with dancefloors in his sights under the Syntheme, alias for Planet Mu and WeMe Records. The Painting With Acid series on Acid Waxa continues in the same vein, while also delving into more experimental soundscapes and downtempo ambient numbers, reminiscent of Goon’s earlier tracks for Rephlex.

Intro track to Thick Grooves, Volume 1 mixtape by Joe Crates.

EVERY TAPE PURCHASE INCLUDES DIGITAL DOWNLOAD AND $5 DONATION TO NYC ANTI-VIOLENCE PROJECT

On this homage to the golden era of mixtapes, Joe Crates pushes listeners down the backstreets of jazz and hip hop, where 90s boom bap and independent rap intersect with 60s hard bop and contemporary soul jazz.

True to tradition, Thick Grooves, Vol 1 blends, cuts, and scratches together tracks using only vinyl, two turntables, and a mixer. However, unlike mixtapes of the 90s, forced to pack as much new flavor into 60 minutes as possible, Joe lets several tracks breathe, with intention. For example, Godfather Don’s pen wizardry on “Piece of the Action" and Shadez of Brooklyn’s youthful expression on “Change” — two tracks you can’t find on digital streaming platforms — run their entirety for old and new heads to nod along to.

Throughout the tape, samples and interludes provide more subtext and situational settings to transport listeners. From an iconic smoke session in KIDS to John Coltrane speaking on the importance of being true to his roots, Thick Grooves is the soundtrack at your local skateshop in the 90s, remixed and presented for today.
