Into Dust

Into Dust (alternative mix)

http://www.okayafrica.com/sudan-sounds-mixtape-ostinato-records/

Take a sail down the Blue and White Nile as they pass through Khartoum, carrying with them an ancient history and a never-ending stream of poems and songs. Immerse in the endlessly gorgeous violin and accordion driven orchestral music of 1970’s Khartoum, and the synthesizer music of the late 1980s and early 1990s. 

We’re going to bring the enchanting violin harmonies, haunting synthesizer melodies, and relentless tum-tum rhythms of Khartoum’s golden cultural era, which captured the hearts and minds of post-colonial Africa and the Middle East, to the world later this year, fully remastered and licensed. 

As always, some of these songs will be included in the final cut. Enjoy!

Hi. Welcome back. We’re very pleased to present a new record by Ian Wyatt, performing under the name Local Artist. He’s one of the co-founders of Mood Hut, and you may remember him from his music on the Proibito and Rhythm Section record labels. You may also have checked out his releases under the moniker Slow Riffs, including the Gong Bath 12” from 2015. 

This wonderful record can be played at any time of the day or night and is also a great thing to play in the home or in the club. Drums, bass, keyboards, as well as other sounds and outboard effects (including delay) are all present. The artwork was done by Logan Sturrock and Local Artist. Dancer / Dreamer will be available in vinyl and digital formats this summer. We hope you enjoy!

'Listening to Shaking Chains, I got what I needed instead of what I wanted and that's just about the best kind of luck you can have. They appear to have created ceremonies out of air.'  
Austin Collings

'Shaking Chains are intelligent but ferocious, definitively Northern but deeply universal... the band's bellicose lyricism matched to some supremely dark post-punk noize.'
CLASH

Shaking Chains are a Manc four-piece whose street-wise spoken word and lean guitar spikes are a musical shot in the arm for fans of austere rock ‘n’ roll...
