Saturday night at Banger Cliff saw a very rare live appearance from Dublin's Dechord. Comprised of Alan and Maura O'Boyle, under various guises they've both released some of the most celebrated Irish techno and electro of the last 25 years. 
This live recording is comprised nearly entirely of brand new unreleased music written especially for Sherkin.

Dechord - Live at Open Ear '22

Midnight Traffic is the alias of DJ/Producer Rishi, based in Hyderabad, India.  His sound is a fusion of darkness and light, modern sound design and hypnotic rhythms.

With almost a decade of honing his craft in the studio, Midnight Traffic’s catalog comprises several notable EPs on India-based Qilla Records, an EP on Italian label The God’s Planet, a collaborative EP with Qilla Records founder, Kohra on Berlin-based Charybdis Records, along with several independent releases on Bandcamp.

As a DJ, Midnight Traffic’s sets tend to lean towards the more fast-paced, hypnotic end of the spectrum. The last few years have seen him grace renowned venues and festivals like Echoes of Earth & DGTL in India, Lapita festival in Japan, and a remarkable Boiler Room Debut in 2022, to name a few.

MNMT 386 : Midnight Traffic

extra life

Brian McBride (1970-2023) was an ambient composer, drone wizard, tonal craftsman, and emulator of "far away" music. As half of Stars of the Lid, the pinnacle duo identified as both post-rock and Arvo Pärt-gardism, McBride is a legendary, internationally recognized name. Many of my friends and listeners know how massive of an influence SOTL – along with the Aix Em Klemm one-off – are on my taste, intellect, and approach to production. SOTL and McBride are widely present in my tracklists and appear often in my sets; I have been attentively collecting this music since I first learned about them in 2003 (thanks be to Epitonic). Today I proudly own all of the SOTL catalog.

For me, McBride's sonic corpus represents several very visceral and personal ideas and memories. Apart from being a glowing representation of immersive distance and landscape, of nature growing intolerant and stating its intentions, McBride’s music at its core is the soundtrack of Central Texas plains and rocky outcroppings, of eroded mountains and dirty, tired water, of the otherworldliness of the Edwards Plateau at night and the mystique of cicada chorusing in harmony with multiple lawn mowers after a violent thunderstorm. It is the tragic music of being from an oppressive place but bearing a profound love for it nonetheless. It is gentle reminders of the environments of my childhood; it is heavy bliss.

Campfire Stories 63 (Spring Ray) by @tokifuko

~ About The Story ~

"I sit beside the fire and think 
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring 
That I shall ever see

For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago
And people that will see a world
That I shall never know

But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before
I listen for returning feet 
And voices at the door" 
— J.R.R. Tolkien
