Greenlander - Red Glacier (128k Preview)

During 2021, to help get through the ongoing lockdown I made a series of 90 minute cassette tapes, one a month for ten months. I thought there would be a small demand but was blown away by the response. People really embraced them and copies went to every corner of the planet. They became a huge part of my year and really helped me through a tough time.

A little later I made them available digitally for a short period and all the proceeds raised went to Glasgow NW Foodbank. I was again blown away as thousands of pounds were raised.

i have decided to put the series on Soundcloud. I'll upload them sporadically over the coming months. 

This was the 1st one - ULTRAGOTH; my personal definition of Goth. It may or may not be up your strasse but hopefully some in the series will tickle your ears. 

OG Text from Feb 2021 below -

During lockdown I got really into walking and I now walk around 8 - 10 miles every day. I think it saved my sanity, helped me get my inspiration back, kept me fit and made me see Glasgow through new eyes. I have now seen almost every corner of this dear green place. 

Late last year I found my old personal stereo in a drawer and started listening to my small collection of tapes on these walks. I had thought my days of loving the tape format were long gone but I fell in love with them all over again. They have been a perfect companion on my walks and inspired me to put together this series of tapes. Each mix in the series was made for walking in that it is a collection of music I love that I have then mixed and road tested on my walks around Glasgow. I do love a project so decided to share them by making a series of them available, in a limited quantity. 


The first tape - 

OM Tape 01 - ULTRAGOTH. 

ULTRAGOTH is a very occasional JD Twitch solo night in Glasgow and is a celebration of my definition of what might be construed as Goth music, and more specifically what music is deserving in my opinion of the accolade ULTRAGOTH. It is a broad definition encompassing Post Punk, Synth Music, Dark pop, Ethereal ambience, Industrial electronics, North Yorkshire Cold Wave, unknown gems and even some well known hits. I think this has made for a great launch tape that is an excellent listen starting off deeply atmospheric before rising to a frenetic finale. 

I just finished putting together Tape 2 which will be "Hi tech electronic music from Japan in the 1980s". Further tapes will delve into a wide range of musics I love and all will be thoroughly walk tested. 

That's a lot of info! Thanks for reading and as ever for the support, JD Twitch, March 2021.
