Trump this Horror Show - New Release by Birds of Hell

Norwich-based Birds of Hell's lyrics are an expulsion of desperate anger, in a world where click-bait is juxtaposed with horror stories and 'stupid questions asked to the internet'.
"Played live, Let's Have The Windows Open digresses into semi-improvised lyrics and over the last few months Donald Trump has been the focus of these ad-libs."

This Week's Free Lab Radio - Turkish Ladies on Records

 Polish record collector Kornelia Binicewicz lives in Turkey where she began Ladies on Records, a listening and digitising and uploading project for currently Turkish psychadealica from the 60s and 70s featuring the voices of Turkish women of the time.  The 60-70s saw a massive explosion in music all over the world which gave women the voice and platform with which to become renowned and express themselves not only musically,but also in fashion and the arts.
Binicewicz left her work in festivals in Poland to pursue a life in music in Turkey where she is now based. She was director of MiŚ Documentary Film Festival about Music for 8 years and program manager of the Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow for a while. Binicewicz calls her interests “Various cultures and worlds caught in dusty records and blurred memories” and explores Turkish female music through avidly collecting records, interviews, DJing and writing.

This Week's Free Lab Radio - The David Bowie Mixpiece

Fritz Von Runte's experimental David Bowie mixpiece made on the eve of Bowie's death features abstract sounds, spoken word, remixes, reworkings and lesser known tracks.
 Von Runte, a DJ and Producer in Manchester, UK releases his own material under the anti-war non-profit label Marshall Records and is a remixer of British songwriters.
In 1996 Fritz was just 20, he founded Shalalá Records, an independent record label for electronic music, whose catalogue so far has reached over 80 releases.

BROADCAST:
 Free Lab Radio broadcasts on Resonance104.4fm Saturdays nights 11-midnigh, repeats the following Tuesdays 04:00-05:00am UK time. Pick it up on 104.4FM and digital radio across London, online otherwise. We are also rebroadcast on Resonance Extra, on digital radio in Brighton and on Resonance Extra's online streaming service.

"His work as a DJ was also very successful and prolific – Fritz even played Ibiza (that was when it actually meant something). Then, in 2003 Fritz founded Marshall Records, another independent label, with an explicit agenda: making records against the war, that was then commencing with the Iraq invasion. Marshall Records focuses on bootleg mixes and mash-ups, and its catalogue has achieved over 25 million downloads – most of it propelled by the internet phenomena The Beatles HATE.  Fritz continues to produce remixes, original music and he DJs from time to time.

 Fritz von Runte’s life has always been connected to music, one way or another. His father was a obsessive record collector, Jazz, Big Bands and Orchestras. He gave Fritz his first record player, a monophonic (!) portable one, at the age of 4 (!!). As a boy, Fritz was always the one responsible for directing the music in parties. He didn’t have a video game, never got into sports, basically was more interested in music than anything else. At the age of 15 he became a professional DJ, warming up parties in warehouses for thousands of people. When he was 18 he bought his first drum machine and one year later got a job in a studio, when he began to produce music."

This Week's Free Lab Radio - Dance is a Neuroscience

Complex movement.  Sound generation. Kinesiology. Meaningful gesturing. Rhythmic synchronisation. Wordlessly communication. Brain synchrony. Rehabilitation and therapy. the magic of mutual gaze.




































Dance is a Neuroscience

A mix by Fari B of the most sonically intriguing dance tunes in this year's playlist, plus new Nov-Dec releases. Moving through genres and sub-genres from 8-bit to Neurostep, it's a selection to end 2015 with.

Dance is a marriage of the representational capacity of language and the rhythmicity of music. Even though dance is a fundamental form of human expression, neuroscientists have given it relatively little consideration. The past decade, however, researchers have conducted the first brain-imaging studies of both amateur and professional dancers. These investigations address such questions as, How do dancers navigate though space? How do they pace their steps? How do people learn complex series of patterned movements? 1)

Streaming online and broadcasting on air on 104.4FM, at 11-midnight GMT (3-4am GST).
Repeat: Tuesday 4-5am GMT (7-8am GST)

This Week's Free Lab Radio - Endurance City

This week we explore minimal house, tech and synth-pop tracks tracks with reliably repetitive forms, and how these give people clubbers the confidence (and therefore the freedom) to dance?

Their mesmeric beats, by their very repetition become a kind of meditation, a small box in which the dancer moves shoulder to shoulder to a driving, seamless mix along with everyone else in a kind of flamboyantly stylish step class, where endurance rather than variety is part of the experience. Think of Techno Viking if he'd been an international corporate head hunter living in Dubai.

Here in Dubai, the dance scene is varied, but only within the parameters allowed by the brackets in which different social groups operate. The Ethiopians have their club, the Indians theirs, the Russians, the Singaporeans have theirs. The expat Europeans, Australians, South Africans and Americans mostly dance to chic, boutique music. That's the best way to encapsulate the genres that we're thinking of - clean, reliable, at first hearing possibly featureless, but after a while, a freedom appears within the framework.

Free Lab Radio - Live, with Tapes


As we met young producer Tapes this month, we've invited him to ResonanceFM studios to do a live thing...it might be tapes it might be vinyl. But it will be Tapes.

His new release is on vinyl with EM Records "No Broken Hearts on This Factory Floor", as marketed by Boomkat. Here are his previous ones, the first of which was in 2009 in which the tracks were transferred to tape, and back again for effect.

The record "No Broken Hearts..." comes with a printed 12" x 12" double-sided insert, a compendium of what Boomkat call Tapes' "frayed and wayward dub exploits on Japan's always wonderful EM Records ahead of his full debut LP with Honest Jon's."

We're just looking forward to hearing his version of Olivia Newton John in 'Phyzikal Dub', because I'm addicted to a very cool remix of that song ourselves....

Since 1968, Trojan Records has led the way in presenting the very best in classic Jamaican sounds. The labels releases have featured the best of Jamaican talent, with the likes of Bob Marley and The Wailers, Dennis Brown, John Holt, Ken Boothe, Toots andThe Maytals and The Inner Circle all included on its illustrious roster.
Earl began DJing in 1979 when he played reggae records between punk bands in Brixton and was heavily influenced by the Trojan releases of the time. Today Earl Gateshead and Trojan Sound System tour the globe playing records from the extensive Trojan catalogue, spreading the original message from Jamaica’s golden era of Reggae music. Recent shows include Glastonbury, Outlook, Boomtownfair, Bestival, Rototom Festival and club events at London’s biggest venue; Fabric.

In the late 70s, in the spirit of the times Earl built his own sound system at the world famous Dive Bar in Soho, where he established a reputation across London. Earl had a 20 year residency at The Dive Bar, which was sadly bought to an end in 2002 when the venue was closed. Throughout the later part of his Dive Bar years Earl became the Saturday night resident at clubs such as the internationally acclaimed Blue Note and later Fabric, where he was the resident Roots Reggae specialist.
In 2000 Earl organised and performed at a series of events called “Reggae Nights”. These legendary series of concerts received world wide attention, with performances from international legends such as; Alton Ellis, Dennis Alcapone, Adrian Sherwood and Saxon Sound System. This run of great success gave Earl a huge boost in profile, which lead him to be one of the most sought after DJs in the country and in high demand from international Reggae artists. He then went on to tour Europe and Australasia with Big Youth, Dr Alimantado and Cutty Ranks amongst others. 

Invited to give a lecture at the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy in Sao Paulo, Earl gave a comprehensive lecture on Reggae DJing and recorded a radio show for Red Bull.

Two Fingers in the Air - This Week's Free Lab Radio Show

Fake fur massacre

At still from ISAM
11-midnight tonight we're airing the one and only mix put out by DJ Two Fingers this year. The reason it merits attention, apart from being a great mix, is that it's the only thing Two Fingers has produced this year, claiming "a year in the studio". This would not normally be significant but that Two Fingers is an alias for super-producer Amon Tobin. Tobin was on tour last year with his hyper-surreal DJ 'experience' ISAM. We caught the show at Camden Roundhouse, it was impressive, all enveloping and distant. The team working with Tobin created the most astounding projection mapping show perhaps of all time, while the DJ himself was mostly hidden inside the wall in a cube, only partially visible at moments during the show.

Two Fingers was originally a collaboration with fellow producer Joe “Doubleclick” Chapman. Their first eponymous release came out in 2009 and heavily featured UK vocalist Sway.
The second album, Stunt Rhythms was a solo work by Tobin and was released worldwide by Big Dada in 2012. The most popular track from Stunt Rhythms is Fools Rhythm, included in Ninja Tune's 20th anniversary "XX" box set,
Recent works include the theme music for the BBC America/Space original series Orphan Black, composed by Two Fingers and also the release Vengeance Rhythm which comes with the most brilliant teddy-bear slaughter video (pictured, and posted here at the time) in 2012.

Tonight's mix "TF DJ SET SEPT 2013", is a self-released free download made available in January 2014. It was produced by Tobin in Montreal, and comes with this proclaimer: "As this will be mainly a studio year for Amon we are posting one of 2013's Two Fingers DJ sets for you to download. Fond memories, good times. Thanks to all who stepped out and got down to this!"

He's still tweeting, however his musical silence is even louder after ISAM's echo. Broadcasts Saturday 11-midnight on 104.4FM (London), repeats Wednesday 2am. Listen live online with this handy RadioPlayer.

This Week's Free Lab Radio Show - Remember Me

This week's show is a progression from last week's mix, for long summer car journeys. 

This week it's all about singing along to lyrics in the car. A mix of obscure and guilty pleasures, lyric-laden tracks for the discerning listener who sings in the shower, the car, in their head as they walk down the street...

The Overheated Motor mix is available for free download below, currently. Grab it!

Listen in at 11-midnight (BST) on 104.4FM in London or online otherwise. Repeats Wednesday 2am.

This Week: #FreeLabRadio - Overheated Motor


Overheated Motor

Featured are the La Chiva Gantiva, DJ Schmolli, Mr Oizo, Noir Désir, Beastie Boys, Persian (from Essex), Wildbirds and Peacedrums, Alek AK (Iran), Stromae and more.

Tonight's Free Lab Radio Show - Sleeve Notes

Tonight it's all about the sleeve notes, in the age of the mp3 that comes without a real gift that can be touched and physically enjoyed, we're driven to play tracks from CDs for which we've got sleeve notes, different paper textures, artwork and graphics as well the text and lyrics. So coming to you from the land of CD case and sleeve, all taken from the shelves here at the Bradley/Weaver Household, we've a really mixed bag, Italy, Peckham, Texas…
Features are Jerome Bourdellon, the track from Trajet Solo: Papaoel.  The sleeve notes to this CD include a quote from John Cage
"This is a talk about something and naturally nothing. About how something and nothing are not opposed to each other but need each other to  keep on going."

Sudori an album by Pino Minafra with an inset essay by art historian and editor of "Jazzthetik" Markus Muller; referencing ethnologist Claude Levi Strauss saying

"Listening to Pino Minafra is about reactivating our hidden perceptive faculties, in the widest sense, its about discerning planets during daylight and to suddenly realise that these planets must have spun out of one of those black holes in the contemporary music universe that no one of us , due to the so-called age of information, expects anymore.

From Milan then, we hear the track Trib-Bal.

Plus author and musician Kirk Lake, who we recently played on Free Lab Radio for his collaboration with UK Pakistani artist Shezad Dawood, sent in his CD the album The Black Lights, from which we sample two tracks Clarke Vs Tyson and the unusually titled "Finish your drink so I can get your glass to the wall there's something more interesting happening next door."
Plus 'Kymatik' with their album Dars Al Sulh, and the long track Denists for Mice.

Also on tonight's show are returning Middle Eastern band Boogie Balagan, we hear from them Mojo Lady 75 "she's a warda from Tarabeen, my parisienne" and Dalida Blooz (the Baboosh Remix).

Now two short tracks from the CD by FlameProofMoth (previously known as The Boycott CocaCola Experience) Women Should be in Charge; Retail Opera and a very short version of an already short song, his most well known track, Gas.

Kate Bush with Ariel from the double album, called Ariel (pictured).

Secret Archives of the Vatican who's CD sleeve features from Arabic digital art Babylon Halt, their track from it "Isa Al Hamid."
Lastly Salif Keita, an internationally recognized Afro-Pop singer, an albino and a direct descendant of the founder of the Mali Empire, with his track Nou Pas Bouger, meaning Don't move us, or Don't shift us.
