I'll be on deck next at midnight this Saturday for a party that's either called "_ _ _ _" or "Unknown LDN", I'm not really sure.
Anyway, it's at The Lightbox in Vauxhall and it's free to get in. The special headliner has been announced and it's none other than the legend that is Roy Davis Jnr.
Chris Jarman, previously known as Raiden, now known as
Kamikaze Space Programme. Get used to it. WNCL Recordings is proud to
present KSP’s debut vinyl offering where we see the producer bringing
his found-sound recordings (bits of old truck and a pocket full of coins
amongst other things) from the field to the warehouse.
There now follows a whole bunch of links full of goodness...

Damn - I should have posted this earlier. SPATIAL (star of WNCL014) debuted his new PRIMITIVES project at Cafe Oto, London last night. Bloody marvelous it was too. Still, you can read all about it over at The Quietus and check the teaser clip on YouTube...
BBC6 MUSIC have been supporting various projects this month.
4th June Gideon Coe's show featured DATA70's "Hey Summer", from the forthcoming "SPACE LOOPS: The Complete Sessions" compilation CD (although the evidence suggests this was played off vinyl...at the wrong speed!)
12th June Gideon Coe again, this time dropping WNCL "What's Going On (Stuff Is Happening)" from the in-your-shops-now COLLISION/DETECTION box set CD on the Front and Follow label.
19th June Lauren Laverne bigging up the aforementioned DATA 70 release and playing "The Golden Age of Space Travel"
20th June ...Mr. Coe played more from the DATA 70 album ("Into The Outside" and "Here 'Tis") in his mid-summer show, where he attempted to cram in as many "under 2 minutes" records into one show as possible
J TIJN in the mix for HYPONIK this month, kicking off with a soon-come WNCL track, And there will be a little soon-come material from Mr. Tijn too - watch this space...
This month, West Norwood Cassette Library graces our mixtape series,
providing us with a vinyl only homage to the legendary Relief Records ... Taking the opportunity to display his love for Relief Records, WNCL has compiled this 22 track vinyl only mix that showcases his personal favourites from the back catalogue.
The mix itself gets a little loose in places, but that’s partly
expected these days whenever someone does a vinyl mix and has no digital
mixing aids. In the words of WNCL himself, it’s a “slightly bumpy,
warts and all approach”. In an age where people often submit mixes made
in Ableton so that they are technically perfect, it’s refreshing to
occasionally ‘hear’ someone mixing.
