'The Endless Tape Machine' - a monthly live radio show at Cashmere Radio curated by Magïc Müllï and Mad Lubi. Inspired by the analogue tape machines we used to push our first tapes back and forth many years ago.  

We explore music history from then to now, around the globe:
From occult sounds to the avant-garde, from exotic adventures to political statements, from cotton field blues of the 20s to acid house of the 90s. 
Each episode is dedicated to a theme, an artist, a country, a current, a label, a style, a word.... 

Come along on our musical trip, the never-ending tape machine,
never knowing where the next episode will take us.

The Endless Tape Machine on Cashmere Radio

We have both been lovers of progressive rock music for a long time. By trying to categorise many of these progressive bands into the genre of 'progressive rock', however, the concept of progressive quickly becomes obsolete, as it harbours the danger that musicians begin to copy the newly invented formulas, which is well described by the following view of Robert Fripp, musician of the band King Crimson: 'He sees progressive rock less as a stringent style than as an attitude. It is characterised by the will to redefine the stylistic and conceptual boundaries of rock music using procedural processes from classical music and jazz. At the point at which a new structure of conventions of his own style had developed from this attitude, he considered the progressive character to be obsolete and ended his activities within the genre for the time being. This happened in 1974, when the first incarnation of the genre was still in its commercial prime.' So for this programme, without paying too much attention to this classification, we present progressive rock music from England, Belgium, France and the USA from 1967 to 1981

This version is without the spoken parts, just the music.

In this label special, we are focussing on releases from the Jazz and Rhythm ‘n’ Blues label Cadet Records. A sub-label of the independent label Chess Records from Chicago. Founded in the 1950s, Chess Records set the trend for the development of Rhythm and Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll and is still one of the most important Blues labels today. The success of the label and its sub-labels is due to the fact that they signed musicians and released records that were not the focus of the major labels. They thus offered the artists a space for free musical development. Among the main protagonists who have released on Cadet Records are Ahmad Jamal, James Moody, Dorothy Ashby, Ramsey Lewis, Rotary Connection and many others.

Past Forward #105 with Kryptic DJ

Task was pretty easy and simple - collect and put together in one selection all "Ambient" (or whatever) material from various albums from 2018 onwards. 

I had to do it for couple of reasons:

Space Ghost himself didn't put out yet compilation of "ambient works", which would be stellar compilation;

He's mainly known - as far as I'm aware - for his Dance and RnB/Downtempo related stuff... but somehow Ambient was lost between pounding House tracks on releases.

First I heard one album and I was "Aha, ok, cool stuff... ambient to bridge between House music". Then, another album, another, all containing magnificent ambient/new age/esoteric/synth/space works than in the end culminated in my Space Ghost Tidal Ambient playlist. On repeat, for years...

Here's an hour of finest floating music. Hope he'll make some official move to make more of albums like this and release it on - God forbid - Limited 2xCD release.

enjoy 

Space Ghost - Ambient Mix

"The piano chords at the beginning of the track sound familiar; the moment the memory begins to take shape, bizarre organ flashes shoot out of nowhere, completely off beat, shattering the concentration. (...) Suddenly, the whole thing escalates, spiralling completely out of control; echoes circle around the speakers, only to return to relative normality under tight bongo rhythms before a stubborn trombone takes over. And then it gets really interesting."

With this quote from Joe Gibbs in mind, we browsed through our dub archive and present you with the sound from legendary studios such as Black Ark, Dynamic Sounds, Wackie's House Of Music, ... and acclaimed producers Jo Jo Hookim, Jah Thomas, Augustus Pablo, Lee Perry, King Tubby and many more.

In this edition, we travel to Ghana, one of our favourite countries for African music. We focus on the 1970s, a very productive phase in the Ghanaian music scene, which at the time was hardly known outside Ghana. Unfortunately, the hopes of many artists for lucrative record deals from abroad were not fulfilled. The only exception is Hedzoleh Soundz, who released their debut album through their collaboration with Hugh Masekela on the American label Blue Thumb. Fortunately, many of these forgotten artists received the recognition they deserved in the wake of the Afro-Funk revival in the early 2000s.
