Utility Fog

Happy 5th birthday to FBi and Utility Fog! That’s right, 5 years ago to the day, I sat down behind the mixing desk and broadcast the very first Utility Fog. It’s been a while hey! We exhort you to sign up as an FBi supporter at the FBi website, and help keep the station running and bringing you brilliant music!
Tonight we have a bit of a vinyl explosion, although by no means is it exclusively wheels of steel… Starting with a fabulous new track from Oren Ambarchi, on a one sided marbled aqua 12″, followed by some gorgeous strings, acoustic guitar and maybe piano (maybe not on this track) from Richard Skelton on the ever-reliable Preservation label.
We’ve got Finnish freak folk from Paavoharju, and also from Finland, Pan Sonic‘s Mika Vainio brings us a cover of Kate Bush from the astounding ten-7″ compilation Recovery.
Meanwhile, Why? covers Bob Dylan, and also features on a track from Alias‘s excellent new album, while their label-mate Odd Nosdam remixes The Notwist.
Epic 45 are remixed twice from two different releases tonight, and later on we had a couple of dubstep artists over a few different releases, highlight the mashing up of the dubstep and breakcore scenes at the moment.
And finally, among various other local releases we have a preview from Heidi Elva‘s gorgeous forthcoming album – look over for it soon!
