Electra, by Wren Adobe 1 track album

Wren Adobe - “Electra” | Bad Revue

I wrote some words describing their new release.

“Filling the void with harsh, mind bending frequencies, Wren collects sonic artefacts to make sense of our present state and the effect that has on the futures we imagined”

Insurrection Manual, by Dhangsha 8 track album

Dhangsha - Insurrection Manual | Brachliegen Tapes

Bass heavy improvised machine music with heavy dancehall and broken industrial techno sounds.

‘A statement of solidarity… an act of bass heavy resistance’

One of the best live performers I’ve seen.

Jonathan Breakfast - 4/15 | 0 99 Plus

‘tracks captured and processed within 15 minutes during a commute through a heavy industrial city in Ukraine. Intentional distortion as a response to the «dirty weight» of the environment’

You can grab the track as part of this compilation alongside the toilers. Then I think there is still one copy of Hiding From the Birds we made together where you’ll find the deep cut Puffin Wren remixed.

Mary Anne Hobbs just played Wren Adobe’s track Boro A Darn Fine Place on BBC 6music. A track they made by remixing our track from the collab we did Hiding From the Birds, Puffin. So proud of Wren!

HARDCORE HAPPY, by DJ DEATHDEFY 11 track album

DJ DEATHDEFY- HARDCORE HAPPY | Industrial Coast

He’s back with another banger! Last years album was one of my favourites. No one does it like him. Singing, crooning, bare knuckle pop from the underground.

Thank you for playing my stuff! I’m going to save this to listen to later. You’ve put me alongside some insane company and there is loads I’ve not heard! Amazing.

Yeboah was so good. I’ve got his autograph somewhere. Bumped into him after a match at a Chinese restaurant not long before he left Leeds.

I’ve got Keshed. Looking forward to digging into it after hearing a killer reading from it at an Industrial Coast gig the other year. You can also…

They opened with the first track on my newest tape EASTSIDE. Named after a road from Hull to Scarborough via Bridlington and Filey. Where all the best noise gets made.

Caveman Music on the radio WNYU 89.1 FM at 11-1 EST featuring loads of great artists and a bit of BALF. Loads of noise. If anyone is listening from NYC and gets a dodgy recording over the FM dial send it back and I could remix it with radio static.

Torsion, by Pale World 4 track album

Pale World - Torsion | Venalism

One of the best around for one of the best labels. Grotty experiments that draw you in with low key grit before they envelop you in walls of harsh noise.

Tapes are shipping now. Hopefully they’ll be with you soon. Still three left looking for a home. It’s still insane to me that the rest have gone. So thank you so much to everyone who has grabbed one.
