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.

Live At Eightytwo

Guardian, the sonic manifestation of visions found within the depths of shared dreams and fantasies. We are attuned to the memories of an unbridled youth from a time and place not quite our own. Resonant impressions fill our reveries. The darkest corners of neon nightclubs, anonymous sex in bar bathrooms, the hazy drug induced drive home. Guardian seamlessly meld these visions into a cohesive musical aesthetic. This is the soundtrack for when daydreams become real.

Guardian's first single, "Thirst", will be available in June on Sweating Tapes limited edition vinyl & digital.  

Guardian - Thirst (Single Edit)

Releasing dark musics on limited edition cassettes, records & digital formats.

Based on the West Coast of the United Snakes of America.
