Kiosk Outsiders (14/09/24)
The latest episode of my Outsiders residency on Kiosk Radio features two hours of me playing mostly new music — mix and tracklist below.
The show is structured around Fleet Dreams’s Echoes Of Ego EP, which was released through his own Vinezza label earlier this year. In a scene increasingly dominated by instant gratification, these four measured yet loose-limbed tracks are a breath of fresh air. Each one takes its time to unfurl, eschewing rushes or drops for gradual builds and deep as fuck harmonic accents. Sick record!
I’ve also included five tracks from Non Stop Rhythm, a somewhat bewildering digital label that puts its money where its mouth is by releasing 4-5 EPs a month (nearly 50 so far this year!), though with barely any internet fanfare. You might think that also indicates a lack of quality control, but in my view the music is always interesting even when I don’t like it. The vibe is analogue, retro and funky, sometimes terribly mixed/mastered, other times slapping hard. Part of me wants to know the full story behind the label, part of me wants to preserve the mystery. If the people behind Non Stop Rhythm ever read this, please just keep doing what you’re doing!
Elsewhere we have killer new material from long-time staples like Ali Berger, Gabriel Guerra on 40% Foda/Maneiríssimo, Duckett on Solar Phenomenon, and the latest Distant Future. And one of my favourite recent missed-it-first-time-round finds, the ever dependable Alex Celler on Trelik from 2022. I feel like I must have heard the shapeshifting ‘Stargate To Cosmos’ out here and there, so I’m glad to finally pin it down. I think maybe an Alex Celler retrospective is needed?
I’ve been struggling to adjust to being back at home after quite a crazy spring and summer, so apologies for the sparse missives and lack of Midweek Mixes. Normal service should resume now, and I’ll try and catch up a bit on some of my experiences from 2024 so far. There’s a lot to talk about. Thanks as always for reading and listening.
