MuhMur Radio Broadcast 09 July 2020.




The broadcast starts with a track by Hinageshi Bondage. Hinageshi Bondage was the solo project of Helsinki based sound artist and multi instrumentalist Janne Martinkauppi. Janne has since gone on to play in (and create) such projects as Can Can Heads, Doroga, Haare, Killer McHann, Mohel and he is now part of the group Gunk. Hinageshi Bondage only existed for a couple of years (1999 - 2001) releasing a couple of 7" singles on Janne's own label Verdura Records and the mini album "Pariisi Vuonna 1959" on the Finnish label Nihil Market. Nihil Market was a side label to Kaos Kontrol, the industrial label operated by Jukka Mattila. Jukka now plays in the noise-rock band Throat.

                                                                Janne Martinkauppi.

"Villto" is from the "Pariisi Vuonna 1959" release. Back at the turn of the century I used to correspond / trade tapes and records (etc) with Janne. I started to collect releases on Verdura Records, the early releases were from Circle side projects like Ektroverde and Eturivi as well as Kroko and Hinageshi Bondage. We sort of lost touch when I moved to the Deep South, but a couple of months ago Janne got in contact thanks to Facebook and I am now slowly catching up on Janne's activities in the 21st Century, as well as filling gaps in my Verdura Records collection. Expect more Janne Martinkauppi sounds on MuhMur Radio in the coming months.

How much longer will it be before Dale Cornish is the poet laureate? It could happen ... Harbinger Sound have had records in the Top 20 album charts .. anything can happen. Dale has just released the infectious album "Thug Ambient" on his own Vanity Publishing label. On this programme I play one of his more 'experimental' pieces' from the album. Contact Dale here: https://vanitypublishing.bandcamp.com

The short Neil Campbell piece is from the download only album "In Plague Boudoir" available via the Neil Campbell Bandcamp site. https://theneilcampbell.bandcamp.com/album/in-plague-boudoir
It's one of those 'name your price' downloads and highly recommended.


The oeuvre of Duncan Harrison is quite remarkable, from his days (over ten years now) with Plurals through his collaborations with artists such as BBBlood, Ute Wassermann, Dylan Nyoukis and Aidan Baker (to name just a few) and as a solo artist and vegan chef at various eateries in Brighton. Releasing on labels such as Index Clean, Research Laboratories, RRRecords, Sound Holes and Chocolate Monk (to name just a few). His latest release is the highly listenable "Music From Amplified Flexible Discs" a cassette on the (new to me) Cardboard Club label.
Don Mandarin (like Duncan Harrison) also has released via the label Research Laboratories. "Cape Town" is from the new CDR "Take Me To Cape Town (Mary Visits Elisabeth)". Don Mandarin is at the alias for Bristol based musician Richard Beale. Richard was in the 1980's Pop-Rock band Head and 1990's Trip-Hop band Receiver.


FRKSE are a mysterious one man project from the West Coast of America. I remember chancing upon the 2012 cassette release "Scholar Drugs" on its' release and have been tracking down their/his/her releases since. I recently grabbed this 7"EP from the bargain bins of the Internet. "Denigration Rapture" on Iron Lung Records. It's a problem with limited USA releases, trying to pick them up from UK or European sellers to save on the ridiculous UK-US postage terms. If any UK based folk are reading this and have some FRKSE they would like to pass on ... please get in touch.

Since its release a few months ago the new MNEM LP "Elyktrion" has not been far from the turntable at MuhMur HQ. "Peripheral Intervention" is from the album.

                                                                      Mykel Boyd.

"Fever Dream Three" is the new CDEP from Illinois based conceptual and sound artist Mykel Boyd. Mykel also operates the label Somnimage Records. Visit: http://www.mykelboyd.com

Arv & Miljō should be no strangers to the MuhMur Radio listener. Their (I say they - in fact Arv & Miljō is the solo project of Heinz Hopf and Neutral member Matthias Andersson) new release is the cassette "Raelianerna". A C20 based around close encounters of the third and fourth kind.


Matthias also operates the I Dischi Del Barone and Fōrdämning Arkiv labels. He can be contacted here: http://www.iddb.se Like the sound of Matthias Andersson the sound of John Duncan is often heard on MuhMur Radio. The track here is from the single sided LP "MMXX-02". It was recorded at EMS Studio 3 in Stockholm in 2019.
