That's this Czech band called Mama Bubo. They're still going - their most interesting stuff sounds like the kind of thing Chris Cutler would've been into at the time, but with an ear for a tune and markedly less po-faced. A couple of their releases are pretty straightforwardly bedsit minimal...

So, I've come out of DJing and club promoting retirement to start a night playing cold wave, synth pop, disco, electro and noise from Yugoslavia, Poland, Russia, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, etc. Here's a mix DJ Baklava and I put together as a taster...

This thread! That UK acid / bleep / proto-hardcore hinterland is such a rich seam. Used to love this tune (and still do) although perhaps it's more disorientating and uneasy than melancholic.

Some new material

Because nothing much like this happens in this neck of the woods, I'm putting on a free event at the local museum, The Beaney. There will be lots of acts spread out across all the rooms in the museum such as the wonderful SCULPTURE, and also The Bohman Brothers, Iris Garrelfs, Poulomi Desai...

This, from what I think might be a call for works to go in an exhibition in a pub in New Cross: "Modulating between the abstract/(in)aesthetic through the rhythmic/4-to-the-floor and back again, Transmètic is a diagonal para-academic rem(a)inder, resurfacing in the capital with an untimely and...

I did another mix

Just uploaded a new mix; it's got something to do with house music.

Klaus Theweleit 'Male Fantasies'

Just put this mix on soundcloud, mostly Hosono productions on Yen / Non Standard from the early - mid '80s; kind of a more synth-pop orientated follow on from those ace 'Fairlights, Mallets and Bamboo' mixes.

The missus and I have just 'curated' an exhibition in Canterbury, comprising lots and lots of radios, some faux-organic responsive video projections and new sound works by Gregory Whitehead, Joaquim Cofreces, Signals Collective and others. It opens this Saturday (19th) and runs until the 27th. I...

Vinyl, Deptford! Great shop.

I've got a record out; you can hear it here. The version I uploaded is the unmastered version though, but you should get the idea. It's on a 7" http://www.xylitol.bandcamp.com It came out late last year to no great fanfare. Still got a boxful.

That Xylitol record's a shocker. What was he thinking?

Top 10 for 2013 Libbe Matz Gang - Infantilized Britain EP. + another nine arbitrarily chosen records.

Witches: what an insane, disturbing experience! Follow up screening definitely needed. Good work, John
