Soho Radio - Earthly Measures - (10/05/2021)

Deep-a-delic grooves from @notananimalrecords, a label born from the party debris left uncleaned from London’s infamous Bad Passion parties, as ran by Chris Stoker and Andy Bainbridge.

LOWJOB#18: Not An Animal

For our 50th cassette release, we're very happy to welcome in Shakali (aka Simo Hakalisto) born in Finland, though now residing in the Czech Republic.

"Aurinkopari plays a lot with polarities as it seeks to find something celestial in the mundane. The brightest sound of the album was captured in the darkest night of the year. Sine waves, scaled according to old wartime engineers, ended up sounding like a magic flute. A hydrophone detected other-worldly sounds of a drowning compost and a ceremonial Javanese gendèr was recorded in a bunker… While the processes of recording the album were often playfully esoteric, the music itself is warmly heartfelt." - Shakali

Encompassing global and local music traditions and pre-Midi times, this album feels very organic, playful and warmly connected to a natural, higher consciousness state of being....We couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate our 50th cassette release.

Written & Produced by Simo Hakalisto

Mastered by Amir Shoat

"Aurinkopari" is available now on cassette via our online store.

GMT50 Shakali - Aurinkopari (Snippets)

@furiousfrank
@papercutslimited

The debut LP from duo Sunflower Aquarium offers a full spectrum bloom into the electronic ecosystem. Dylan Batelic (Paper-Cuts) and
Thomas Martin (Furious Frank) fuse together for a 7 track collection of low-slung immersive deepness, embodying a cycle of life via the ebbs
and flows of sonic seasonal evolution. A collaboration of cyber synthesis; written simultaneously Melbourne through Adelaide
during late 2021, the result a refined yet spontaneous take on dubbed downtempo through to driving dance deviance.

Planet 4 induces a sharp sense of hypnosis. Traditional techno
expressions flirt with your ears, layers of repetition locked and loaded, dwindling into the abyss..

Soho Radio - Magic Castles  Forest TV ( Khan Yen Orzo & Charlie Nobody - 06.06.22

Nommo Hunzuu keeps himself somewhat shrouded in mystery. His passion for collecting and playing strange and cerebral sounds was first fuelled by his tenure during the 90s and early 00s behind the counter at a Kent-based record shop.

These discoveries have soundtracked dance floors at clandestine parties across the county, and more recently at Niburu, the London party he held a residency at alongside fellow DJ Terry Childs.

It was at these parties that he found himself warming up the floor for a wealth of like-minded contemporaries, including Linkwood, Lord Of The Isles, Justin Cudmore and Sharif Laffrey. His sets oscillate between darkness and light, sometimes otherworldly and at others heady, sketching a journey through everything from beatless ambient, drone and electronica to new wave, Kosmiche, techno and electro.

Away from the dance floor Nommo Hunzuu released a C60 mixtape cassette entitled 'Drinnen Traum' on LA label Origin Peoples, which offered an alternative soundtrack to the world of Twin Peaks.

His Monday mix offers a similarly immersive trip. If you're in need of some sonic-based R&R this morning (I can tell you we all are post-Houghton), then this carefully curated two hours of music is exactly what the doctor ordered. Tune in, drift off and let the blissful vibrations and celestial soundscapes wash over you... You'll forget it's Monday in no time.

Tracklist

Self-Portrait: Not An Animal

Together friends and cosmic Mackems Andy Bainbridge and Chris Stoker run Not An Animal Records, a label born from the debris of their Bad Passion parties that they once threw around the city in various spaces and places. 

After eight years of parties they decided to embark on a new chapter and so Not An Animal was born, primarily as a space to support their pal's music as well as elevate their own musings. Since starting they've released music from Bogdan, Que Sakamoto, Ian Blevins and Man Power, as well as they're own productions under their separate projects; Andy as one half of Machete Savane and Chris as one half of Ess O Ess. 

We've given them the reigns for this week's Ransom Note mix which floats through a blissful blend of hazy, melodic breaks. We've also heard on the grapevine that they've got a rather large arsenal of music perfect for celebratory occasions, like birthday parties. Coming to a birthday party near you in the not-so-distant future...

A mix for Goodhood from Magic Castles by Charlie Nobody (Not An Animal)

There are many rooms, none with a key, the doors are always open.
Follow the times and get lost along the way.
Pied Pipers off the beaten track, a never-ending band of misfits.
Pear drops rain marshmallow clouds.
Fruit Machine Reels, reel.
A hall of mirrors smile. We provide a backdrop, the rest you make your own.

Charlie Nobody - Magic Castles Mix For Goodhood

One half of Not An Animal Records alongside Andy Bainbridge. One half of Ess O Ess with Jamie Blanco. Solo Productions under Charlie Nobody. Host of Almost Cut My Hair show on Soho Radio.
