This Week's Free Lab Radio - Oriental Slap

Nuts One (Ωu†$ ∅Ω€), a Swiss music producer and mix-maker, decided for this mix to take a vinyl trip to the Middle-East, Levant and North Africa.

Here's a selection of 70's oriental psychedelic tracks from his collection from Turkey, Lebanon, Algeria, Iran, Israel and Egypt.

Nuts One and Someplinghave (France) have also self-released 7" vinyl records, embracing the homemade aesthetic in both appearance and sound.


"No need to explain everything, because music is made to dream and understand our own stories."

Nuts One is part of The Soundtrackers a crates diggers and beatmakers collective form Geneva, Switzerland. Members are: Nuts One, David Chandra, Mr.Riddler and Mr.Fake.

"According Google, we are living 849 kilometres apart...
But we're living the same way.
Loving music, records, dusty samples..."

Polish Experiments, Spaceship on Venus

Tonight, we sample Polish experimental audio from the 60s and 70s with a smattering of lively tunes designed to make you move and think at the same time. Fancy that. See the Polish-East German production (pictured) FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS (Der schweigende Stern)- 1960 in which recordings from the debris of the 1908 Tunguska meteor turn out to be a spaceship from Venus. To get to the drama, you have to jump the lengthy intro, itself debris from the once dominating male voice in literature where dry, lengthy descriptive introductions from the omnipresent narrator were the norm. Check the emperor Nehru character in the white hat, and the terrible dubbing.
