MuhMur Radio Broadcasts December 19 2019


December 19 seemed like MuhMur Radio Broadcast day with two programmes being aired. One programme on the Russian New New World Radio station and also the 'regular' programme on SoundArt Radio in the UK.
Back in October I was invited by Angel Simitchiev, host of Bulgarian based radio programme "Beauty Sleep" to take part in an epic eight hour broadcast celebrating the second anniversary of his show. "Beauty Sleep' is broadcast by New New World Radio. Angel is no stranger to MuhMur Radio through his work as MyTrip, Dayin, Leaver and also being head of the Amek label in Sofia.


Information on 'Beauty Sleep' broadcasts - it's a monthly show - can be found via the New New World Facebook page and through their website. http://nnwradio.com/?fbclid=IwAR1t0Bgqmw2D-TwZWDeWlnCI6YkWY6BA2pdRt9F2-_pANyHlaIgZbschLH8
There is also links to the broadcasts via Soundcloud & MixCloud.

Playlist :
01: Neznamo : "Aery (Remix)" (Not On Label) 2018.
02: BU.D.D.A. : "Menopausen Massaker" (Attenuation Circuit) 2019.
03: Aaron Dilloway : "Ghost" (Dais Records) 2018.

The Neznamo piece which opens the broadcast is from the self-released split cassette with Notum. I played the Notum side of the tape earlier in the year. BU.D.D.A. is the name of the new project formed by Chris Sigdell (BÂșTong/Leaden Fumes) and Sascha Stadlmeier (Emerge).

                                                                   Chris Sigdell.

The Soviet France track is from the album "Eostre", originally released by Red Rhino Records in 1984 this version is from the remastered re-issue on Vinyl On Demand.

The programme was aired at 19:00 Moscow time. At 20:00 GMT the broadcast on SoundArt Radio began. There was/is a tiny 'glitch' between the Dead Mauriacs track and the Jim Haynes track where I forgot to flip a switch (switch glitch) to turn the audio on the turntables ... silence is about 15 seconds (not 15 MINUTES as the drunken fool on the microphone says), I hope it doesn't spoil the listening pleasure.



The programme starts with two pieces from the Dutch project Beequeen taken from their "Port Out, Starboard Home" album. Beequeen is the project of Frans de Waard and Frank Kinkelaar. The Dead Mauriacs piece is from a cassette especially made for my birthday. A two-track C10 cassette, the other track will be aired on the January 5 broadcast.
The Drekka and Rivulets tracks are from the shared EP "November 2002 Tour EP". (The 7" EP also features Jessica Bailiff). The 7" was pressed especially for their 'Glacial Dreaming' tour and sold on the live dates, a few copies made it to Europe and is available via Discogs.

                                                Drekka/Rivulets/Jessica Bailiff 7"EP.

"The Rusty Seeds" is the new album by French artist Brume. A 12" vinyl LP in an edition of 100 released by Belgian stalwarts EE Tapes. For availability please visit http://www.eetapes.be


I was recently in conversation about German noise maker Stefan Roigk. I was telling someone about my experiences being labelled/taggged as a Tesco Organisation artist back at the turn of the century, and I was hearing similar stories (albeit secondhand) from Stefan. I never knew Stefan was a member of Kenotaph or had released material under the moniker Skalp for Tesco Organisation. Kenotaph were a favourite of mine in the late 1990's. Stefan was a name I knew from releasing material via Tochnit-Aleph and Fragment Factory. I also have a poster on my gimproom wall for a concert featuring Stefan and Alice Kemp in Berlin from last year. Anyhoo ... this conversation made me want to hear Skalp so I bought the 10" EP and the track "Heartbeat" is from there. This also set me off on a 'Heartbeat' trip as you can tell. Apologies for the Wire version of "Heartbeat" being all crackling and jumpy .. the LP "Chairs Missin" is one of the oldest albums I own ... it has been with me and regularly played for the past (nigh on) forty years!
