Next up in the pod - Frankie Bubblegum. 

The Hidden Sounds boss & serious digger/selector treats us to an hour of his best form. Full of downtempo weirdo sonics + leftfield oddities, it's one of our favourites to date.

the politics of hello (...or not)

Edinburgh-based experimental composer Jordan Russell-Hall aka Jordan Stanley released his second album, A Cry for the Moon, on our offshoot Bytes last Friday.

There are shades of his Scottish contemporaries Hudson Mohawke and Rustie in these colourful experiments in microsampling. Many of the synth chords are made up of minuscule samples of existing songs - from Charli XCX and Mr Mitch to Ariana Grande and Jimmy Edgar - which have been warped to the point that they are virtually unrecognisable.

According to Bleep, Jordan “uses these tools to recreate classic dance tropes with a modernist twist that steps outside the usual overcooked sound design.”

With the addition of vibrant synths, frenetic Jersey Club-influenced rhythms and lush ambience, A Cry for the Moon is a stunning album packed full of futuristic glitch-techno bangers. A couple of the tracks feature on Jordan’s excellent, eclectic mix for Ransom Note.

“It's quite all over the place at times - especially in terms of BPM.” Jordan explains. “But I'm proud of it and I feel like it's a good representation of a lot of the stuff I listened to while making the album.”

These 5 tracks are the lingering musical connecting to my home, my family and my loved ones.
All started when I was living close by to these groups and people.

They are ideas that started with warmth and appreciation.
Relocation and regulation slowly eroded the celebration of love and connectedness.

Through distance and time they have become bitter and mislead.

This ep is a bowl of delicious fruit left to rot.

I would like to thank my dear friends and brilliant minds,

Brigitte Podradsky, who I have stolen this ep title from.
