After releasing one of the year's highlights with the post-rock-that-ROCKof Rage Coma, connect_icut a/k/a Sam Macklin sneaks out a last-seconds-of-2017 surprise extra release: Music For Granular Synthesizer, part reversion to his customary glitch mode and part exploration of gnarly new zones steeped in influence of early computer music. 



A reminder that Rage Coma is still available, completely free - now "Angel Vomit," that's got to be one of the titles of the year!

Haunty things that somehow escaped my notice (get just the faintest suspicion sometimes that outfits don't send me the stuff precisely because that they don't want to get stuck with the H label - well tough titty, Vanishing Twin!) until the LP Choose Your Own Adventure was introduced to my ears by Italian decktician + journalist Chiara Colli last week, when we both deejayed at the minimum faxmas party in Rome.

She also played a track by this native operator in the neo-library vein -  L.U.C.A a/k/a  deejay Francisco a/k/a Francesco De Bellis.



Another release from Vanishing Twin, whose line-up is international but who are based in London

ROUTLEDGE DEXTER SATELLITE SYSTEMS MIX = a brand-new audio assemblage from Mr Moon Wiring Club...  months in the gestation, it's rather different from his usual mixology .. more overloaded and choppy...  Horse's mouth indicates the original intent ("started off as very much a ‘murky hip-hop’ mix") and the different outcome ("grew organically into something else... picture the whole thing like a malfunctioning satellite broadcast, different channels spluttering spasmodically then fizzing out") while also revealing that the constituent elements include the hhactor Edward Woodward, Zoviet France + Evan Parker, and a surprising amount of contemporary music (Actress, Ikonika, Best  Available Technology). 


Official mix manifesto:  

"Greetings Citizen Volunteers! CLASP your swanky bakelite listening devices and tune into the ROUTLEDGE DEXTER SATELLITE SYSTEMS MIX ~ unquestionably the finest in MWC deftly-spliced disjointed hip-hop wonky radio-play melodic oddness around! Freshly Near Mint / almost unplayable antique sonic-slices are politely cajoled-up inside a labyrinthine audio-mesh extracted from video archive endurance excursion-sagas of perplexingly perpetual proportions! But don't get greedy Stu ~ an abundance of rhythmic propulsion & uncanny momentum is never far from t'derangement table. Endeavour to enjoy!"
