My 6Musings on Lauren Laverne's BBC 6Music Breakfast Show 10/06/22

This week our guest on Line Noise is Shawn Reynaldo, radio host, journalist, founder of the influential First Floor newsletter and now author, with the release of First Floor Volume 1 by Velocity Press. We talked about the challenges of electronic music journalism, what he’s learned about music from writing the book, artists as interviewers, public debate, streaming, second thoughts and a lot more.

Line Noise Episode 136 (Shawn Reynaldo)

Ralph Moore is a veteran dance music journalist and manager, formerly of NME, Muzik and Mixmag, who has been to Ibiza more times than you’ve visited the dentist; once went on tour with Underworld for a week; and got  Fatboy Slim to write a foreword to his new book, in which he compares him to an embedded journalist of dance. That book - On Tour: A Wild Ride in the Dance Music Press - will be published by Velocity Press on March 7. Ahead of that we talked Sunscreem, covermount mix CDs, the state of the dance music press, 2025 cover stars, Pet Shop Boys  and why I - at 47 - should go to Ibiza. Line Noise is sponsored by Cupra.

@ambu_bambu with this months Smoke mix.
With their radioshow ‘’Electronic Idenntity Crises’’ on Relate Radio and their newest endeavor ‘’fruit salad’’ they’re building a world consisting of ambient, experimental electronica and multi-sensory gatherings.

For this Smoke mix they created a heartfelt beautiful journey through embracing difference and wanting to belong. A tension between darkness & release guided by warped sonics and melancholic melodies, a musical reflection about floating in between.

Thanks Amber for this beautiful mix<3

FOLK is a tale of youth clubs, free parties, first love and second chances in 1990s Britain. Youth, beats and abandonment in 90s Britain

Buy it here https://velocitypress.uk/product/folk-book/

For Mark, Folk was always more than a youth club. It was home. A space to grow up, mess up, and stand by his tribe. Then the mysterious ‘Jason’ turns up and Mark’s world goes into freefall. A summer of heartbreak and hedonism culminates in a wild camping trip, where it’s not just ideals that get abandoned.

In the aftermath emerges an unflinching portrait of teenhood, masculinity and memory as underground culture collided with establishment control, and a generation fought to define itself.

Coming at a time when youth clubs continue to close and our societies are more polarised than ever, FOLK is historical fiction that speaks to today's anxieties around identity and what it means to belong.

Longlisted for the McKitterick Prize. Available now via Velocity Press.

NI75 | CMD

Dub bass, heavy electronic rhythms, minimalist bleep melodies and far-sighted post-industrial futurism: a deep dive into one of Britain's most forward-thinking and influential musical movements of the late '80s and early '90s, bleep and bass.

Featuring a mix of little-known cuts, stone cold classics and unheard new edits, Join The Future: Mix 1 contains lesser celebrated tracks and remixes from many of the original scene's Yorkshire pioneers (Unique 3, Rob Gordon and Forgemasters, LFO, Nightmares on Wax, Ital Rockers, Mad Musician, Sweet Exorcist, unheralded Leeds scene stalwarts DJ Martin and DJ Homes), as well as those on a similar wavelength elsewhere in the UK and beyond (Network Records, Chill Records, Brothers Grimm, No Smoke).

This is the first mix in a series tied-in to my critically acclaimed book Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Birth of British Bass Music, which was published  by Velocity Press in December2019. You can find out more and buy the book here: https://velocitypress.uk/product/join-the-future-book/
