With the end of the year approaching, we thought it was time to give a little back. Those who were at The Centrifuge’s Rhythm Factory night in September will remember who awesome Gareth Clarke’s set was, and you’ll get a chance to hear it again on tonight’s show in advance of his slot at Free-lectronica in a couple of weeks.
Alongside this, the usual bundle of new music and details about the final shows of the year.

Our first broadcast from our new studio goes out tonight, and we’ve got a guest mix from Canary Warp to christen the decks. A new pseudonym for someone familiar to net-labels Swishcotheque and the Centrifuge, Canary Warp combines the sleek styles of the 80s with the twisted sounds of proper IDM. In his own words it’s ‘Aesthetics of money and power… bonus kultur… cocaine… money worship… occult glamour… That sort of thing.’ We’ve got a laptop set for your delectation recorded at last week’s Freelectronica event, featuring some of his new tunes alongside tracks from Com Truise, Clark, Baconhead, The Tuss and more.
In addition, new music from Anstam, Lowtec, Space Dimension Controller, Plug, Rick James, Mark Archer, Sepalcure, Untold, Death Abyss and more.

Having reached their second decade, Thin Consolation have a great history of putting out off kilter, hip hop influenced beats. With Funckarma, Cupp Cave and Hermutt Lobby (amongst others) appearing on their releases, they’re one of the more interesting collectives to come out of Belgium in recent years. More details? ‘Some people drink, some collect stamps, some prefer gardening or cross dressing. This is our thing.’ Perhaps listening to their guest mix on the show this week will give you a better idea…
In addition, new music from Rustie, The Fear Ratio, Martyn, dBridge, Dead Sound & Videohead, Shebuzz, Funkineven, King Midas Sound, Orbital and many more…

As we approach the release of their 3rd LP, Modeselektor dropped into London to play at the SW4 festival alongside Pendulum, Richie Hawtin and others. We took the chance to corner them for a half hour chat about the new album, starting 2 labels, collaborating with Antipop Consortium and Busdriver, their live and recording processes and many more. We’re really proud to be able to give this insight into one of the best electronic acts of the last decade.
