121209 ep. 31 in return

Six months of digging makes for a pretty sweet bag of dreams. Thankfully the world didn't go kaputt or else we'd have missed out on another opus from the Flying Lotus of Coltrane Blood, new cuts from electro-acoustic upstart Holly Herndon, plus the broken techno of Bxl's Sagat and Brooklyn's Madteo of Workshop fame.



Oh, and somehow Peaking Lights managed to record Lucifer, and a versions dual, Lucifer in Dub, while I was still rinsing the old platters. What what?

Singing in choirs from a young age, Holly Herndon is currently doing a PhD in Music Composition at Stanford, in the CCRMA (Centre for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics), where she is using modern synthesis techniques to transform her voice. Aside from the spastic acid excursions of her latest EP on RVNGintl, she also produces electro-acoustic music in something of an alien vein. Her gig at Cafe Oto on February 2nd is selling out fast so get in!

PS: Apologies for the pesky distortion throughout the first half...
if you noticed you'll be happy to hear it was analogue clipping from Alice, our mixing desk, and not something nasty by way of DSP.
Enjoy the fuzz!
