"Focusing on razor-edged techno pop, bleepy drum machine minimalism and homemade synth experiments, ['80s UCC Vol.2'] takes a global view of the 80s tape underground...saturated in a vibrant layer of multicoloured DIY ambition. But this compilation is more than a nostalgia-fuelled expansion of the archive. It bends chronologies, suggesting that A didn’t necessarily follow B in the way it’s usually assumed. A snap-shot full of surprise precursors, heroic outliers and yet to be realised possibilities." - The Quietus

"Brilliant" - Tom Ravenscroft (BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC)

"From the lurching misanthropic menace of Years On Earth to the static drum machine robo funk of M Rendell, from the dark proto-House, monochrome industrial work out of Pornosect to the primitive sample-punk of Ob Ovo, these mutants all made music brimming with life and vim under the layer of culture and reality that was the mainstream in the 80s. Think Cabaret Voltairish experimentation, sub-Fad Gadget desperation, burbling radiophonic synth tones smothering grooves, these coldest of waves and most clanging of industrial tones represent a tip or a trough of an iceberg or valley of endless invention from the decade that refuses to die." - Monorail

"Listeners with insight into the subterranean 1980s might gather they have a handle on what 80s Underground Cassette Culture Volume 2 has in store, but a mere spin of the sides reveals the contents to be more expansive than one might expect...and even better, all the cuts have been fully licensed from the artists, making this a stand-up undertaking all-around. " - The Vinyl District

Introducing the new participant of our radio show - Hoavi. Kirill is an important figure in the domestic electronic scene of Russia, having releases on labels such as Peak Oil, Balmat, Quiet Time and more. Hoavi is the artist whose sound has predicted trends several years in advance. Moreover, Kirill is a musician who has served as inspiration for many young artists to begin their production journey.
The artist's style is difficult to confine within specific tags or boundaries, but within the mix, you will be able to hear what fundamentally shapes the musician from within. Brew a cup of tea, lean back in your chair, and embark on a Sunday journey with us through jazz, ambient, and a diverse range of electronic music.
