DATA 70 - Exotic Pylon, Resonance FM

For those of you that missed it, DATA 70 were the guest DJs on Jonny Mugwump's Saturday night radio show, EXOTIC PYLON, RESONANCE 104.4FM.

Hat's off to Jonny for the invite, support and for hosting a fabulous house party cum radio show in a shoebox. Due to our technical incompetence, nerves and generally not knowing what was going on one minute to the next, we avoided speaking but a belated thanks to everyone who tuned in.

You can listen / download the show from Jonny's archive page here

Thanks again, Jonny - you're a gent!

PODCAST - More House

...and another one

We are, musically, in a state of flux. Let’s take rhythm. You have one, two, trickley-how, kerurthus, four and snuffle in the bow. Now, that is just an ordinary sequence of rhythm which indicates a rhythmic trend of happy or a form of self expressey. But, I do think we ought to swing it about a bit…
(Professor Stanley Unwin, 1961)

DATA 70 - MySpace

The DATA 70 MySpace site has been updated and now features HERE 'TIS and SOMETHING FOR NOW - extracts from the forthcoming SPACE LOOPS VOLUME THREE. This will be released as a 16 track, double 7", gatefold album on ENRAPTURED RECORDS. More news as we get it

PODCAST - More Dubstep

As well as trying to catch up with the blog, I've also been dusting down the WNCL PODCAST. I'm back with a best of the rest of 2008. The track list was selected alphabetically, partly out of laziness but proved to be quite an interesting challenge. Hopefully more podcasts to come in less than 6 months time. Download here

BLOGARIDDIMS 50

I've got a bit of catching up to do...Back in October 2008 BLOGARIDDIMS presented it's 50th and last podcast. GUTTERBREAKZ (yes, him again!), contributed a 6 minute collage featuring snippets of DATA 70 "Ping Pong" and NO.1 ASTRONAUT "Low Battery Casio (Part 3)", amongst loads of other bits. Check it here. As always, big thanks to Mr Gutta

HARD FORMAT

HARD FORMAT is a beautiful design blog that has been...

"...set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design. That means we’re going to focus on records, CDs, cassettes and their like. However, Hard Format isn’t intended to become a dusty museum devoted exclusively to past glories, though there’ll certainly be some of that, we also want to highlight the brilliant new design work being produced right now"

They have recently featured the artwork for Data70's SPACE LOOPS series after spotting them on the GUTTERBREAKZ blog

ROBOTRONIC RADIO

ROBOTRONIC RADIO are currently hosting a show called THE DEPOT which describes itself as...

A forray into the finest experimental pop music, past and present. Short mixed segments meld genre classifications into insignificance, all bound loosely with brief cassette-recorded gurgles courtesy of your host who can't toast, Saucy Jack.

The June show features NO.1 ASTRONAUT - Heartbeats Per Minute from the AT HOME WITH NO.1 ASTRONAUT LP, available for free download from BLEEPFIEND

PLASTIC SOUL - Three on More4

PLASTIC SOUL is me and my old friend Paul Bateman. He sold me a dodgy guitar when I was 18 and we've never looked back.

Over the years, we've lent the name to a variety of projects, including drum & bass (Brand New Heavy 12" on L Double's Flex Records), "psychedelic jazz" (Plastic Jam 7" on Strawberry Recording Co.) and as House DJs during the late 90's (mainly in The End's back room at the For Your Pleasure parties).

Sometime in 1999, we recorded the unreleased Three Degrees E.P, featuring 2 slightly odd House tracks (InSoul8 and Moodibloo) and a sort-of-breakbeat track called Three. The latter has just found it's way on a More4 advert.

The advert will be screened at 9.20pm, Tuesday 8th July, More4. I'm not sure how much of the track you can actually hear and we are in no way responsible for the talking heads that feature, honest. You can hear / see it on the YouTube clip below:
