Andy Stott's music is defined by the ever-present feeling of friction, the rub of needles bouncing into the red zone on a bank of dials. But this is tempered by a languid sensuality.

Albums in heaviest rotation in 2020
It seems foolish to try and do justice to 2020 in a paragraph - a year of such huge upheaval, disprution, loss, and in many cases...extended periods of boredom and inactivity. So what better way to reflect than by looking back at the records that have provided the soundtrack to the year? For one reason … Continue reading Albums in heaviest rotation in 2020

Skee Mask - Shred (2016). The strength of this album, along with 2018’s Compro, is pushing Skee Mask towards the top of my current favourite electronic artists.

The track posted in the group was the final track, Friend, you will never learn, and the rest of … Continue reading 09/02/2020 – This week I have been mostly listening to

Venetian Snares - Traditional Synthesizer Music (2016). I think this might be Venetian Snares’ best album in a while. Actually, I liked My Love is a Bulldozer, but apart from that, I think this is his strongest album since Rossz... back in 2005. I won’t dwell too much on the concept/background; I think I read … Continue reading 09/12/19 This week I have been mostly listening to
