↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH KIERNAN ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: Thank you! It's a pleasure to finally get this put together after months of waiting for the right records/tapes/CD's to become available. I was in the middle of building a tracklist for 2 very different mixes, one of which being an early morning AOR/Pop orientated mix with the other being this one - an early to mid 90's blend of IDM and other electronica. I'm pretty happy with the result, it was fun to play some better known tunes by Juicy Peach, Eirin Peryglus and Yiffie amongst the weird Welsh things that have come up recently. 

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: Not so much a record, but a CD Promo I was given by a Welsh group called Glovebox with a bunch of unreleased material from the late 90's featuring a few music videos! It's got a really great blend of IDM, Ambient House and Breakbeat tunes that only had a few radio plays and the odd play out at coastal raves.

Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in a record? 

A: Over lockdown Discogs has been an ever present tool, however I've found that I had much more luck making connections with private collectors. I've got some really lovely family/friend connections in Wales and have a buddy in Cornwall who has an amazing collection of privately pressed records from the mid 80's. I also chat to other DJ's who have similar tastes that are kind enough to share pointers for things that might be of interest, I'd say that's my favourite way of digging because you make a friend along the way! In terms of picking out records, I think the sleeve always tells a story. But I also focus on the label for info, the more DIY it looks the better! 

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: I never sell any of my personal copies of Welsh language records and tapes, especially given the recent rise in demand. However, one that stands out is probably a self released cassette I was given by an Aberystwyth post-punk/experimental pop group called Crisialau Plastig. It was recorded on a 4-track recorder and used wacky instruments like a toy flute, a harmonica and of course, a drum machine. 
One that never leaves my wantlist is probably an LP by Ffenestri, called 'Tymhorau'. It's recently sky rocketed in price and I'm lucky to have come across a few copies. It was recorded at the Vestry in my village and was the first release on my locally loved Fflach label, which is now defunct due to the very sad passing of the Jones brothers. 'Y Tymhorau' is a fortuitous dance tune that I play 99% of the time at gigs that always pricks people's ears, whether they're into this scene or not. 

Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out? 

A: Yes definitely, Thom from Freedom of Groovement is the person who encouraged me to start taking music more seriously along with Vish from Dar Disku who pushed me to play more to my roots. Corey and @Kaynethehermit from Continuous Movement and DiskFrisk respectively for some great company in recent months. Also, @j_gregss from @In-Form who I've been lucky enough to share a few drinks and some tracks (heard here) with over some musical chatter.

Ambient Aotearoa (a nzmm special) w/ Flynn goes - May 4th 2023

Filling in for Tyson Koh's Loose Joints on FBi Radio.  Ads and some voice-over removed but as this radio programme was recorded on Easter Sunday, there are still a lot of mentions of egg.

Loose Joints Easter Special (FBi 94.5)

A Month Of Sundays

A Month Of Sundays (monday)

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side

You would think by now that numbers would be null and void but what about in twenty years when people are trying to search for this mix on the 'future net' or their google fridge or even on their 'smart belt', whatever the future holds is irrelevant to the now, but we must associate a number with a name, in this case, it's number 15 and the name attached is the one and only Andy Garvey, aka the Sydney based siren aka the electro-static wunderkind aka the Pete Tong of NSW aka DJ wasabi pea. 


With her multi-frequency radio superpowers and ridiculously good DJ skills, she has established herself as one of the cornerstones of Sydney's realm of noise. Through these avenues she has not only carried the flag of high-quality tunes, she has raised it on all angles and continues to do so, fighting the good fight, traveling the country spreading the word of our lord and savior' decent tunes to dance to' 


Her show 'Pure Space' on Sydney's FBI radio has been a shoulder of a good friend for some time now, constantly delivering new music and talent from around the world. (Tip!) but she's also used her powers on triple j to expose the people of Aus to some seriously good music whereas otherwise, they would be none the wiser, I consider her some kind of professor and she lectures every week on the benefits of discovering new music. As well as holding it down as a shit-hot DJ, with her pH.D. in all things electro (insert Latin term for electronic music) 

This mix tho, damn. Nailed the brief (or lack thereof) I'm running out of terms to describe 'a trip' but who cares, it's what it's all about, a story that will never be written, a soundtrack to a movie that will never be made, anyway. A perfectly executed ensemble of different styles and genre's all woven into quilt worthy of your own grandmother. Everything you could ever want in an hour of music, consider it her resume for every job in the job. 

I was lucky enough to play with Andy up in Queensland at Andromeda festival (also tip!) and she blew me bleeding socks off and then out partied me and then left me in a stairwell 7000k's from home. I learned a few things that night, but I've followed Andy's movements since and she has reached legend status and she deserves every bit of it. 

Enough dribble. Go and listen to the mix again and then once more. 

Until next time, I bid you fairest of wells. 

Peace be with thou
