Utility Fog

A cornucopia of newness this week – so much so that I was tempted to leave some for next week… In the end I think I ended up playing something from all the new releases I had up for this week.
Next week I’ll be able to cover some of them in more detail – more from the extraordinary new Venetian Snares album for a start! Aaron Funk (Mr VSnares) was in Budapest and found himself imagining what it would be like to be a pigeon… Through this bizarre epiphany, he was inspired to learn some rudimentary violin and clarinet, and sample all sorts of 20th century classical and maybe even gypsy music for what I can confidently say is his best outing yet, the Rossz Csillag Allat Született album for Planet µ.
Karl Marx Stadt gave us a different (and perhaps even more insane) take on orchestral breakcore, strangely also choosing 7/8 for his time signature… And I featured a number of tracks from the great breakcore compilation Crimson, introducing new label Terminal Dusk. Also a brilliant new single from 65daysofstatic, of which more next week too.
