'Anglican Scrape Attic' is the fourth installment in the STORYTELLER saga. A cautionary tale detailing the outlandish chronicles of a team of roving reporters.
Storyteller is an electro-acoustic spoken word cassette collaboration between writer & occasional filmmaker Bruce McClure and sound artist Bjørn Hatleskog.
"What makes Hatleskog and McClure's version of Storyteller so affecting is the feeling that a small part of your childhood has been meddled with; the format and artwork point strongly to parody, but once the narrative tone is revealed, it's clear that any similarities end there."

'Dance of the Aberrant' is an album of dark atmospheric electronics by Swedish composer and record producer Daniel Rozenhall. Due to be co-released with Firework Edition Records on August 11th to coincide with the 90th birthday of the Fylkingen experimental performance space in Stockholm.
"Ominous whirling of a bullroare, demonic shrieks of wheeling swifts, the chug of a ghostly steam engine, regimented marching, harrowing intimations of the nightmares of history."

The record is co-released with ZAMZAMREC on 12" vinyl Pantone Gold Sleeve & LP Insert. An album launch organised by 33-33 is taking place at MKII in Clapton on February the 12th.
"You could say this a labour of love, obsessively circling in tangled narrative and a brooding piano that empathically scaffolds. An instrumental centrifuge that percussively pearls your attention, ebbs the enigmatic itch of Mark Wagner's words and their slipping meanings." FREQ

"Easy on the ear, but as unignorable as a thumb pressed into a sleepy third eye. It might have escaped from Eno's studio in the late '70s only to end up here, miles from anywhere and yet strangely in the centre of things ... All told, Elephant House have delivered a beautifully ephemeral and unassuming record, the success of which owes to the fact that it belongs to a moment in time and not a discography."

Think 'Fifty shades of Grey' crossed with 'Day of the Triffids'. Storyteller is a collaboration between writer & occasional filmmaker Bruce McClure and sound artist Bjørn Hatleskog.
"The story! An affair between a plant and a man. An odd topic but interesting enough. All sorts of amusing happenings. I guess this is a preview, a brief exploration into a world most similar and most unknown." YEAH I KNOW IT SUCKS
"This was a real treat. I wonder why more stories don't have some sort of sound collage for atmosphere? Story Teller may just have stumbled across something really special." FREQ

Designed to be listened to in a semi-submersed state, where sounds are typically felt through the body rather than the ears. It was created as a biproduct of Cahen's experience with Wet Sounds, a long running series of underwater concerts.
"As I keep swimming along underwater, the sound - booming out of a small blue speaker at the foot of the pool - grows and envelops me. It's astonishingly immediate, inescapable, and faintly perplexing." THE GUARDIAN
"Sound waves mix with the water waves and float on into your submerged ears. Just as swimming is a full-body exercise, underwater sound is a full-body experience as well, with the sound waves taking on a different character and taking over your body and your mind." AMELIAS MAGAZINE

The tracks contained are live recordings all generated via his Mechanical Techno Machine, a highly modified and elaborate turntable setup.
"Dunning makes use of two key things. Firstly, the inherent synchronization between like-sized circles turning at the same speed is the refreshingly simple to grasp concept at the core of the entire machine. Secondly, the way techno music itself works instantly lends itself to the system." THE QUIETUS
"Dunning's practice is rooted firmly in the material heft of platter, cartridge and vinyl disc. That the London based artist arrived here from a background in neither traditional club-orientated music nor art school avant garde turntabalism but the rough and tumble of Manchester's improvised noise rock scene either makes the originality of his approach all the more extraordinary - or goes a little way to explaining it."

"So I'm eager to check out what he's all about. Seems the answer to that is bouncing about like an emo off his ritalin while making a racket like a blender full of frogs being hurled down some stairs. It's rather impressive. Of course, being such a sharp hipster, Germlin eschews the constraints of the stage preferring to perform on ground level with the audience. As a result, I can't make out what he's doing to cause the noise. And, I'm fascinated to know how." IS THIS MUSIC?
"'Slime' has an infectious theme, while 'Chainscooter' sounds like a puggy is about to pay out. And while 'Rollerskating Jam' has the doomy chords of (early) Human League, there’s also a fair amount of vocals here, as grime and garage influence. However, it’s not (at) all easy listening – 'Cuts and Scratches' pretty much sums itself up – so long-term followers shouldn’t be disappointed." YORKSHIRE POST

"Aspects of their first, self-titled album are familiar; pulsing rhythms are inherited from American minimalists like Steve Reich and Terry Riley, while Industrial rock thump and motorik groove betray a German influence. Yet the blend of melody and intuitive experimentalism is refreshing not only for its lack of cynicism, but also as a satisfying take on an established and well-mined set of ideas." THE WIRE

They are influenced by The Minutemen, Magma and other bands beginning with 'M'.
"Take some 80's melodies, two somewhat freaked-out boys and a really nasty drum machine, and mix it all with very little bass and you have GAY AGAINST YOU. Either a council estate butthole surfers or just Japanese mimicry. Either way, it's odd & wrong..." TERRORISER
"Consisting of a pair of geeks who spout lyrics about unicorns over cacophonous keyboards, wild electro duo GAY AGAINST YOU don't get much gayer..." ATTITUDE |

"AGASKODO TELIVEREK are weird, They make frantic, electronic guitar concoctions, wear matching body hugging football uniforms... all of these things, however, somehow combine to create a super cool off-the-wall dream team of fun." DAZED & CONFUSED
"They scare students, have a weird name and play venues that are ridiculously hard to find ... they'll make you piss your pantalons with excitement." ART ROCKER |

"They claim to be 'an ordinary bunch of Hungarian accountants'. Accountants with a hideous seething pit of weirdness just below the surface of their sensible day-to-day exteriors." ORGAN
"Their self-titled debut attains a level of self conscious wrongness so wholly woven into it's own fabric it resembles a gourmet meal in the shape of a flesh-eating virus." PLAN B

"One of the most impressive audio research projects." THE WIRE
"The art project that calls itself DISINFORMATION, growing out of a mid 1990's mix of acid house transcendence and punk discordancy, has produced some of the most engaging and enchanting audiovisual installations around." THE GUARDIAN

"Trouble & Bass, the new collective from Tigerbeat 6's Drop The Lime that has a taste for all things grimey and bass heavy. If the performances are anything like the artists' music, crowds are more than likely to go as crazy as a bunch of boozed up hooligans on their way to the stadium." XLR8R

"Hyper-nintendo pop with a distinctly evil edge. Skipperrr’s high pitched vocals give it a bit of a nicely demented edge, with the b-sides seeming all the more sinister. Great if you like your electro pop dark and psychotic." THE COMMUNION

This is her first UK solo release, and see’s her lo-fi mix of noise, country/folk music, breakcore, cute j-pop sounds and slowed down hiphop unleashed onto an unsuspecting public.
"DODDODO's music is a mish mash of noise breakcore, folk, hip hop and all sort of other musical meanderings, all laced together with the kind of day-glo sensebilities that can only come from Japan." ROCKAROLLA
"How you would dance to this is anyone’s guess but this album is a triumph. A mind bending, sometimes confusing, always incomprehensible triumph but a triumph nonetheless." GIGWISE

"When Peel left us, many could be heard to say 'who else would play gabba next to an old Hank Williams tune?'. Well, it would appear that a number of people paid attention ... ADAADAT have taken the music from those bedrooms, slapped it on CD, and taken it to the stage. They inhabit worlds that Warp have hinted at; that Squarepusher and Aphex Twin left to visit earth. Make no mistake, this is full on Electronica but it is fresh and exciting. It rarely sounds laboured, instead taking Warp’s blueprint and er, Warping it." LOSING TODAY
"If you tried dancing to anything on Trade And Distribution Almanac Volume 3, their latest in a row of indispensable roster round-ups, then you’d probably look like an upside-down pneumatic drill and feel run over once the whole thing shudders to a halt. But by lordy, this is so brilliant it'd be worth it." DROWNED IN SOUND
