As some of you may know, I am an electronic artist myself and sometimes I need some time to create things. It’s been a bit quiet here, I know, and my presence elsewhere has been pared back a little as I try to work on some music.
I will be posting but not as much, although I am trying to maintain the playlists, Twitter feed, Facebook and Instagram as best I can.
In the meantime, here’s some Furchick that made me smile today –
I came across Agnes Pe via Yeah I Know it Sucks some time ago and have followed her avant garde, witty and experimental work ever since.

For the past couple of years I’m Gary (@noyokono) on twitter has a challenge for February – MWE
“Music Writer Exercise: Each day in February, listen to 1 full album you’ve never heard, from start to finish. Write one tweet about it. #MWE”
Ok, I’m no writer and although I listen to a lot of music everyday, this does spur me to listen to new discoveries. I did this last year and I’m attempting it again and here are the last albums –
MWE#22 – Challenging intriguing chansons of stifled anger and noise for grown-ups – LET THEM GROW by Maja Osojnik
MWE#23 – Experimental Grime, hints of Vaporwave and warped electro Gospel. A revelation that’s quite special –
MWE#24 – Black Quantum Futurism – Space-Time Collapse I – Connecting history with the future in multi layered sonic collages.
MWE#28 Anne Gillis – Lxgrin – Relentless nightmarish experiments in voice, loops and repetition = Challenging and cathartic
