Madame, your dj chair is cracking🧐🧐

Tinker Bell vibes detected🧚🏼‍♀️✨

Today we're offering you two things at once: to help Ukraine with a donation and to listen to our new mix from @georg-i. After we heard his 'Room To Give, Room To Take' on the NTS Radio show, we knew - he's really someone to watch for. And a year after, he released this track with two more amazing pieces of music on the YCO label. As it was expected - EP really slaps. So we can't help but share his musical talent with you. Prepare for an hour of terrific sounddesign-ish stuff.

Today, Ukraine needs support as never before, so we hope your piggie banks still have some cash for Repair Together. It's a Ukrainian volunteer initiative to restore the communities that suffered from the occupation. And remember, every penny matters! Slava Ukraini!

"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.

Dark Entries’ resident scuzzmasters De-Bons-en-Pierre return with the Card Short of a Full Deck EP, featuring six tracks of their signature sludge. In 2016, Beau Wanzer and Maoupa Mazzochetti fused forces in order to infect the world with their mutant analog strain, a noxious hybrid of 80’s DIY cassette electronics and 90’s Birmingham techno. Card Short of a Full Deck follows 2017’s Crepes EP and 2019’s EP No. 1 and EP No. 2, all released via Dark Entries. Their latest salvo features six tracks composed for a live performance in 2019. While a damaged sense of whimsy has pervaded their previous work, Card Short sees the duo ramping up the absurdity to obscene levels. Skittering rhythms dance over ghoulish basslines and haunting, rave-evocative chords on cuts “Le Râle du Mâle Alpha” and “Puddle Points”. Elsewhere, like on “Card Short of a Full Deck” and “Accidental Surgeries”, contorted vocals battle careening synths amidst post-apocalyptic waste. This deck’s not just short, it’s also full of jokers The sleeve for Card Short of a Full Deck was designed by Eloise Leigh, and features a punk zine xerox aesthetic with playing card motifs.

"Please welcome: the third episode of Jacaranda!
I am honored to announce that this mix was hand-picked and recorded by a friend of mine — n9n9. Being a huge fan of his for a long period of time I am delighted that his mix is now streaming on TESTFM.
It is Vasya Kondrashov who stays behind this stage name. He is a talented electronic musician (his latest project Lust Customer, for example, is absolutely top notch) and a valuable board member of Yerevan-based club BAN which was closed due to police outrage.
We have almost 61 minute of perfect selection of mid-tempo bass and broken music on our hands. It is most likely that you will be blown away to another universe. Should I remind you to come back? I am not so sure." ~ Andrey Lipa, the host of Jacaranda show.
