"there's so much shit happening in this world, and those moments when you can recharge your batteries to fight or endure all this badness are (at least for me) always the ones I spend with music (alone or with dear friends).
so it's actually a nice contribution that i'm allowed to make, to help shape the time of drawing strength for survival together by sharing collected music. i see it the same way when i record a mixtape."

We're delighted that the Austrian aficionado, Andrea Ida, has joined the ranks of Forecast providers and we hope that you get the same enjoyment out of it that we did. If you happen to be Covid free in Germany this you can catch her at Arakoda in Berlin this weekend and Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf the one following. Stay safe and enjoy x

Forecast 057: Andrea Ida

Acoustic, no-age krautrock from Berlin releasing on Glasgow label, Phase Group. 

The next release on Phase Group unearths a truly unique project that has existed as an outlier in the Berlin underground since 2002. 

A stage decked out with xylophones, tambourines, timpani, wooden percussion, two drum kits, a cello, harmonicas, saxophones and pieces of scrap metal. Eight unassuming musicians playing repetitive, trance-inducing phrases, at times serene, fragile and dream-like and at others wild, primitive and driving. This isn’t a scene you might associate with hazy nights out in Berlin but it’s what you’d find if you ended up at a Kulku show.

Kulku's music is a hard to define blend of percussive minimalism, folk, krautrock, post-punk and no wave, almost exclusively derived from acoustic sound sources. Their debut album ‘Fahren' presents this unique sound-identity that they have been crafting for the best part of two decades. 

The A-side presents 3 tracks of percussive propulsion, minimalist xylophone motifs and repetitive drums alongside monotone organ, dramatic narration and woodwind instruments moving in and out of dissonant howls and melodic improvisation. The B-side is devoted to lighter tones, beginning with the glockenspiel minimalism of ‘Unterm Himmel’ and rounding the record out with trance inducing drone of the album’s title track which builds up into a cacophony of snare drums, dissonant accordion and melodica before fading out like dream.

All songs composed and recorded in Berlin by Wenzlovar, Gatis Silde, Johannes Schmelzer-Ziringer, Johanna Riska, Cornelius Onitsch, Alexander Samuels and Maxfield Gassmann

‘Fahren’ is released in August 2022 on Phase Group Records. Distribution via Rubadub.

Mosca NTS Show: 9th October 2019 (Guests: Madteo & Impey)

On August 24, 2008, the very first article on the NUTRIOT blog was posted. And while the long has long been dormant, we're using the occasion of our 10th anniversary to launch a new monthly series of mixtapes called BLACK QUARTZ.

For the end of the year, we invited our soulmate Perrez to fill your lives with some heartiness and soul. Tune in for a great selection ranging from funk to soul, boogie and disco.

BLACK QUARTZ MIXTAPES

BLACK QUARTZ #014 by Perrez

Misonica sent us an hour of far out and trippy club music, ranging from dark tribal sounds to slow trance excursions. 

In her hometown of Vienna, Misonica is an extremely active member of the local scene. She was part of the team behind the Femdex, mix series, workshop and event platform that worked to highlight female identifying DJs and producers. They recently put the project (for the time being) on hold but she can still be found pushing the Vienna scene through the NNNN party series that she runs alongside Bocksrucker, Paul Uhlmann and Samo Zeichen.
