Always a pleasure hearing mr. Fearless doing his thing

Richard Fearless

Cementing his name as a founding member of Death in Vegas and Black Acid, Richard Fearless came into his own as a solo artist after the launch of his Drone imprint: a space for his own creations, Death In Vegas material, as well as outings from like-minded producers — Container, D'Marc Cantu and Gabe Gurnsey to name a few.

His most recent release, Future Rave Memory, is the newest companion to his Deep Rave Memory LP, both of which were recorded in his Metal Box; a studio space that has a unique location at the meeting point of the River Thames and the River Lea.

It's this geography and architecture that inspired the sounds on both releases. The blend of dark ambient, komische, drone and acid draws not only from his Metal Box destination, but the corporate buildings and metallic structures he passes on the way to the studio. Described by Richard as “an era when humanity is reckoning with its outsized place in the natural world”, the second LP is now available for your listening pleasure digitally, and on vinyl in Mid December.

Like us, we imagine you're stumbling bleary-eyed into Monday, but luckily Richard is here to help us find the light in the darkness. He delivers a mix of droning rhythms and soundscapes that tread the line between ethereal and haunting; between distortion and bliss.

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

'Electro punk disco', what's not to like about that? This is the name that London duo Baba Ali coined to describe their electrifying sound which takes a little bit of all the things we love here at Ransom Note and stirs them up in a big old pot.

Comprised of American musician Baba Doherty and British guitarist Nik Balchin, the group blend elements of punk funk and electro with NYC disco and no wave, that's equal parts for the dance floor and for the stage, which they're no stranger to.

They've been touring up and down the country since their debut LP dropped in 2021 and they're showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. With the release of their sophomore album imminent - a debut on Memphis Industries called 'Laugh Like A Bomb' which has been on repeat on 6Music - they join The Go! Team on tour around the UK as of this weekend. But before that they'll be making a pitstop at our own R$N residency at The Social on 10th March for an intimate live set...

Ahead of the gig, we asked Baba to give us a flavour of all his influences, which he does in fine fashion with this mix of groovy, crunchy funk, punk, synth pop, new wave and electro... Perfect fodder for your thirsty Thursday.

Baba Ali: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Esa is a producer, musician and DJ who has never been one to sit still. He is always working on something exciting and seems to draw strength from collaboration and the creativity of others as much as he does himself. Over the years he has released music on the likes of Highlife, Local Talk, Dekmantel, Bronswood, Endless Flight and many more – his sound evolving based upon his external influences and discoveries of late.

Based in London, he is incredibly well travelled and has worked alongside a number of musicians and bands, seeking to broaden his musical horizons and draw upon the roots of the sound and cultures which have informed his tastes.

As a DJ Esa is well versed, honing his craft on dancefloors in Glasgow where he held his first residency at the infamous Subculture. It is here that this mixtape was recorded, his return to the party earlier this year was a triumphant tour de force showcasing just how far Esa has come as an artist.

This mixtape spans a wide variety of styles and sounds but most importantly is destined to keep you moving and dancing throughout. Sometimes live sets don’t make much sense out of context, yet in this case there is something special captured in the sound which makes you feel like you are right down the front banging that old Sub Club booth.

BIS Radio Show #888 with Richard Fearless

Richard Fearless's fingerprints are permanently engrained on the electronic music scene of the last 25 years. As Black Acid, Dead Elvis, Death In Vegas and under his solo name, Fearless has formed rock bands, written with Liam Gallagher, crossed genres boundaries and been ever present whilst inevitably remaining difficult to categorise.  From headlining festivals to running his Drone label most recently, which has seen some impeccable music from himself and talent he's supporting, Fearless has been, well, Fearless.

As a DJ over the last few decades, we've witnessed Richard carve a niche that operates around new wave, techno, electro and a more industrial, and futuristic-dystopian take on electronic sounds.  He's versatile but retains an edge that's always a little uncomfortable and sinister.  Here we hear him in a slightly more direct mode than we might normally, with a techno mix which aims more squarely at the dancefloor...however, the edge remains!
