I still love the thrill of just buying a record without having heard anything about it before. Here's this week's from @beartreerecords.bsky.social. Awesome percussion from Uganda on #NyegeNyegeTapes

Still thinking about last night's immense @chatpileband.bsky.social gig in Leeds. Partly because it was the best gig of the last year, but mainly about whether there's a Pieminister in Birmingham. Hope so, as they deserve it...

The new #Aya album, Hexed!, is really magnificent. A hard core banger with a human touch. 'Time at the Bar' is the best track I've heard this year.

Spellbound: Hexed! by Aya is our Album of the Week | The Quietus
On her thrilling second album, Aya's abrasive mix of techno, UK bass, noise and industrial becomes a surgical tool for explorations of trauma and identity

Someone has quit by now. We don’t know who, we don’t know where, we don’t know why. But for sure someone has quit. We’ll find out who/when/why when they get back to camp. #BM100
