Amplify Korea Podcast: Recent Episodes
Angle Magazine
Amplify Korea shares news on upcoming live shows and new music from the independent scene in Korea. Expect a mixture of indie, punk, hip hop, post-rock, and more. Produced for Angle Magazine, and hosted by Philip Brett.
Episode Notes Episode 110 is the final episode of Amplify Korea hosted by myself, Philip Brett. Due to time commitments at work, it's the end of a run of 4 years of shows. Given this is episode 110 you can probably tell it's not been the most consistent of runs over those 4 years, with a number of changes since it started out as the Angle Magazine Podcast, changing to AMP, and finally settling on Amplify Korea. It's not all sad news though, with the awesome Michael Keogh taking over hosting duties, and bringing new energy and fresh ideas to the podcast starting from the next episode.

Episode Notes Episode 103 is a short one, with a handful of new releases to share. As the numbers are still relatively high in Korea, I'm not comfortable sharing news on live shows just yet, though there are some going on if you are inclined to search them out.

Episode Notes Episode 101 is full of new music from the last month, including Say Sue Me's contribution to the Busan Biennale, a new digital single from Roots Redeem, and more music from Daegu, Busan, and Seoul. With Covid-19 numbers going down, but still not clear, I'm still not comfortable sharing event information just yet. On the other hand, there's been so much new music to try and keep on top of, it's a welcome break to stay home and listen. I also don't have much choice, as this episode was recorded from quarantine after returning to Korea last week. I'm also dealing with an ear infection, so apologies if there are any sound issues in this weeks show that I didn't catch.

There is still a backlog of new music that I’m trying to squeeze in to the show each week, this is the first time I’ve picked 12 tracks for the show. Given the current situation with Covid-19 outbreaks around the country, be sure to double check shows are still going ahead before you go out. If you do go to a show, don’t forget your mask.

Episode Notes Recently I posted a question on Instagram stories asking if followers wanted the podcast to cover all of Korea, or to keep the focus on the scenes outside of Seoul. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of covering all of the country.
