Utility Fog

Sunday, 26th of November, 2006

Yo. Action-packed show once again. Ain’t it always so? You may like it that way, but spare a thought for your poor presenter hey ;)
So annnyway, some new Tunng-related goodies, including a brilliant track from a double-CD compilation introducing new label disco_r.dance. It’s an awesome comp. I’m away next week but will be showcasing this compilation upon my return on the 10th of December. We have a new track from Greg Davis — his entry into Ache Records‘ “Divorce” series of 7″s — and lovely new stuff from Essex-based postrock band Reigns.
Some great new dubstep tunes, and a trip to the Middle East and Eastern Europe in the middle, including a wonderful track from a new album by Paris-based Rachid Taha, followed by a bit of archival Third Eye Foundation remixing the back-catalogue of legendary French label Ici D’Ailleurs…

Sunday, 12th of November, 2006

Lots of great new and newish stuff to get through tonight, starting with a new Beirut EP, and Joanna Newsom’s extraordinary new album… Some flashbacks from Severed Heads (more in coming weeks), and some new Sydney electronic sounds from Speed Frame, followed by some retrospective Third Eye Foundation on the occasion of an essential three-CD collection of his albums with bonus tracks.
Chris Adams of the mighty Hood has a new side-project, Bracken, and we bring you the new 12″ on Anticon along with a very limited remix by Chris in his Downpour guise…
Later on, some glorious darkness from Cdatakill, more of Enduser’s “Bollywood breaks”, an excellent new b-side from Thom Yorke, twisted dubstep from Hatcha & Benga, less twisted dubstep from Kode9 remixing Burial, Monolake’s Robert Henke attenuating the already hypnotic sound of Buddha machines in gorgeous ambience… and, would you believe, more! Only on Utility Fog, every week on Sydney’s FBi.
