The Show: Ruff, ruff goes the beagle to the terrier…

One of those shows where we somehow got the gentle ambient field recordings of birds, rainfall, running water and accompanying beats (thank you HAAST – HĀWEA, SODA LITE, THOMAS L. BIGELOW, MASAHIRO TAKAHASHI and OV PAIN) to somehow co-exist with the more crunchier numbers (looking at you HAVENS and BLACK DRESSES). Plus all sorts of other things in between (like the welcome returns of KITTIN, THE HACKER and DESTROYER). #somuchgoodmusicnotenoughtimeforitall

And on with the show…

The Show: Don’t go overboard…

Don’t go overboard says Blair Parkes. But today we did, with a sneaky threesome from his new album “over bored”. We can never say no to perfect pop music.
