Tornado Wallace B2B Telephones All Night Long @ Savage, Hanoi - 01.11.24

"I always like starting with something out of context..."  

He of WH Lung greatness and now a solo live artist & DJ delivers a belter of a mix.

Having grown up in Manchester's DIY band scene, Tom Sharkett came late to these things called dancing clubs and all that came with it, discovering electronic music through synthesizers while recording with his most excellent band W. H. Lung. His journey from guitar music to the dancefloor mirrors his present-day musical output; a collision of post-punk abrasiveness and the electronic that feels equally at home in sweaty basements and proper nightclubs.

Now based back in Todmorden, Tom has carved out his own niche releasing on Optimo Music and System Olympia's Okay Nature label... and it's a bloody brilliant niche!  His production approach remains coloured by those early days of bedroom experimentation with friends, citing the peerless Andrew Weatherall's fearlessly exploratory spirit as a key inspiration. It's interesting how he keeps coming around and around again, doesn't it? "His approach reminds me of the excited feeling I had trying to record things in my bedroom with my friends with anything we had at our disposal and just experimenting with the weird and wonderful results,"

When it comes to disc jockeying, Tom brings that same experimental energy. This mix was recorded in his panoramic valley-view studio in Todmorden, captures that ethos perfectly, opening with Spacemen 3 before wandering through territory that spans from Tirzah-esque experimentalism to classic New Beat.

Between touring with Julie Byrne, collaborating with Raf Rundell - more on that to come soon pop pickers - and working on a new solo record featuring multiple vocalists, Tom's not a 'sit still' kind of guy.

Just how we like it.

Get it on, let's go... read more below.

Polifonic Takeover - Danilo Plessow (MCDE) - 24 May 2025

I am thrilled to present a guest mix this month from Ice Cream resident and all round legend Hayelybabes. Listening to this mix you would never in your wildest dreams believe that she has only been spinning tunes for just a couple of years! She programmes this mix so well really nailing the Balearic brief…and to top it all off she put the mix together while heavily pregnant with her beautiful baby daughter Margo who is now just 3 weeks old! Only fitting to dedicate this month’s show to Hayley, Marc and baby Margo. Big love!
