A very strange hour tonight even by this show's standard. I'm rather inarticulate due to the massive MTH party on Friday. But great music: Pye Corner Audio, Man Made Hill, Mara TK , Time Attendant, music form schools, and some imaginary TV themes. Functional.
A very synth-heavy moody show with sacrificial offerings from Pye Corner Audio, Kone, Karen Novotny X, John Foxx and much more. Staring intensely. At you.
The first show of 2014 jam-packed (a phrase I seem to repeat incessantly on the show) with strangeness, weirdness and oddness. Arovane, The Passenger, Time Attendant, Police Des Moeurs, gig guide and details of the forthcoming More Than Human release party. All quite champion.

Surprisingly upbeat edition - at least for the first half. But we get into dark recesses soon enough. Robin The Fog, Time Attendant, Egyptrixx, and a look at the latest releases from Mood Hut. Happiness. Then fear.
Nicely engorged 2 hour special with guest co-host Matthew Griffiths and a whole host of experimental and electronic beauties: Daniel Avery, FIS, Time Attendant, Nathan Fake and much much more. Matthew forgot to bring biscuits though so he won't be returning.
