apologies accepted and thanks transmitted :***

WE FORFEIT have had an ear on Leipzig for many years now, imprints like BlackRed (@blackred), Lunatic (@lunatic707) and Rat Life (@credit00ratlife) having pride of place on the record shelves. 

Leipzig is given the full spotlight in this latest episode, with an interview with two musicians and two label founders who call his fascinating town their home.

Sit back, grab a beer and enjoy this extended session of music taking in synth, techno and serious dose of electro from Eoism (@eoism) of Pulse Drfit (@pulse-drift-recordings) and Robyrt Hecht of Clear Memory (@clearmemory) and YUYAY (@yuyayrecords).
