100131 ep. 4 Channeling the Spirit of Jazz, vol. 1

First instalment of "Channeling the Spirit of Jazz", a collective experiment bending the envelope of jazz musics of all forms, every last Sunday of the month. Once again joined by Jérémie in the studio, bringing us a couple 'oldies-but-goodies' towards the end. Dabbling into free terrirtory half way through before riding the electron wave to funky town... revisit via http://www.icradio.com/replay/226365 (stream)

100124 ep. 3

Chilling with Jérémie in the studio... bit of a strange one this time around. Starts off with some lo-fi new wave, then break out the guitars (melt them, boil them) and some genuinely 'far out' avant garde axeage from legends Derek Bailey and Keiji Haino. Second half of the show shot straight to space and grooved back down to a close :) Listen back via http://www.icradio.com/replay/226303 (stream)

100117 ep. 2.2 w/ Krane

Retransmission of the lost set with some tweeks to fit in Dr. Krane (aka Replicant aka Jammy Dodger) from Imperial's very own Music Tech Soc. Drummy, dubby, dirty. Plenty of boogie on my end as well...
