Astral Social Club - Snaefell

I'm a big fan of Astral Social Club. Neil Campbell's swirling psychedelic mix of noise and techno is a heady concoction. I was just thinking that it has been a while since I've bought anything by him and then I find this in my inbox - he has a new single coming out on the fantastic, and recently reactivated, Trensmat Records.
Here's the new one:


Here's an old one:

Chris Abrahams

Chris Abrahams’ “Play Scar” album is without hesitation my favourite record of the year. I was expecting an album of solo piano – he is the pianist with The Necks after all – so I was surprised to find myself listening to an album that mixed electronics, musique concrete, noise and drone with hardly any piano.

He played recently enough in Café Oto in London (a venue I have yet to visit but consistently puts on some of the most amazing acts) but unfortunately, I couldn't get over to see him.

Here is an incredible live clip of Abrahams live. (Not at Cafe Oto.)

The album sounds nothing like this.

Zvuku - Half Full

I missed the physical release of this track by Zvuku (nee Slug of Droid & Slug fame.)
It was released on Rural Colours, but is now available for free download.

It's a beautiful 20 minute piece of droning ambience. Perfect for the post Bank Holiday weekend blues.

You can download it here.
