I was in the mood to record another mix with only one featured artist.
This time the focus is on the legend that is Mick Harris, former drummer of the band Napalm Death who turned into making electronic music in the mid 90s and developed a very distinct sound over the years with several aliases, most prominently releasing as Scorn.
New Scorn album was released on OHM RESISTANCE recently ;-)

Mick Harris Appreciation Mix

First one of this year's November beats.. very simple thing on the MPC One, which I never really got my head round properly when I first got it, so bear with me as I find my way around it..!

01 - Aptenodytes Patagonicus (King Penguin)

I had an idea for a bassline, that turned into a piano part... I then turned it into a "palindrome", getting to the mid point then reversing back to the start... I added in a wee "synth sub" & recorded a live bass ... which made it sound a little like a wonky Mogwai track? Here's the code if you're interested...

Palindrome 2

Today's beat is dedicated to Del Soulcondor, RIP.

02 - Gymnogyps Californianus (Californian Condor)

Tonight's beat has got the right fucking hump.

03 - Camelus Dromedarius (Arabian Camel)

The Forgotten is pleased to release "Brain Wash". The opening song on the new JK Flesh (@jk-flesh) album ‘New Religions Old Rules’ on Avalanche Recordings (2022).

“Grinding, old industrial influenced, no wave techno for outsiders…”

JK Flesh is Justin K Broadrick.

Recorded around 2019, and originally intended for a 2020 release but held up due to the obvious, ‘New Religions Old Rules’ thematically explores mankind’s persistent obsession with indoctrination.

The pre-order vinyl (2xLP 200 white / 300 black) on February 11th here: https://www.justinkbroadrick.com/collections/jk-flesh and the digital version is available same day here (and comes as a download with the vinyl pre-order): https://jkflesh.bandcamp.com/

The worldwide distribution will be released between April and May 2022.

MICK HARRIS SUMMER MIX

EXE - M034 - Mick Harris Vs Scorn (2019)

For November's edition of the EXE Mix Series we present to you an hour long mix from one of the Godfathers of sonic grief: Mick Harris 

Mick 'Mongoose' Harris is known for a number of acclaimed projects in the underground bass music community. With over 30 years under his tactical fishing belt Harris has come to be defined by his uniquely menacing dread-laden sounds with acts like Lull, Fret and of course Scorn. Harris doesn't shy away from telling it how it is with his compositions often meandering into almost lo-fi punk territory. 

More recently Harris has released an EP (Feather) and an upcoming album (Cafe Mor)under his Scorn Moniker for long-time collaborator and US based record label Ohm Resistance. 

Pre-Orders of the new album along with his EP are available here:  https://ohmresistance.bandcamp.com/ with previews here: https://soundcloud.com/ohm-resistance

In this almost schizophrenic mix we're subjected to a cross section of uniquely British counter-culture music styles from d-beat to jungle to dub and even drone. Harris shows off his prowess as a selector not to be presumed.

A designer that plays with sounds. Not really a musician, so I used to play the bass in a band. 
I'm also working on "MonthMusic" in 2013. trying to make a calendar out of sounds - to make 12 tracks.
