A Future Without…

There’s a label, half based in Bristol, half in London, called ‘A Future Without’, they have put out some superb music with a great musical variety and ethics. More importantly they have a distinct sound, a great sound at that, they seem to capture the sounds of Bristol gone by as well as current and forward. We know about Kahn smashing up things recently with Punch Drunk, his release and collaborations with Vessel under the name of Baby Yaga are hot as well. Well worth checking out (and you’ll hear a definite hark back to a 90′s Bristol sound:

52 Commercial Road is a new name to me, but the release 33 Kadmar had me hooked, riding the line of progressive psychedelic rock, with an underlying menace and anger, without sounding dated. Proper ‘Post Rock’. Great work:

This all came out last year, a label well deserved of cranking the stereo and going through their catalog one evening. Throughly looking forward to the future releases myself.

Idle Hands reviving Bristol’s record shop selection

A friend of mine, Chris Farrell, has embarked on a scary yet commendable endeavour of opening a new record shop to fill the whole that Rooted’s closure. We’re all vinyl lovers and Rooted was the spot. The community that these two things created was what got me into music. You can be damn sure we’re backing Chris’ ‘Idle Hands’ shop. Opens on the 25th of February (day before my birthday coincidentally) and is found at 74 Stokes Croft, Bristol.

Make sure you check it out:

New shining star from Bristol

Kahn has been doing it of late. If you haven’t heard his latest release on Punch Drunk, I suggest you check it out:

Kahn ‘Helter Skelter’ Punch Drunk Records by Punch Drunk Records

And to reinforce his sure rise to the top tier of Bristol names, he’s done a free remix of Superisk’s already superb ‘Find Your Way’ (also on Punch Drunk).

Uh oh.

The booking gods have spoken and people can’t make it. The Black Acre night has been cancelled.

If you want a refund for the ticket, come with a bat. (Actually just get a refund where you bought it.) Whilst waiting for the event to be rescheduled, you should spend some time listening to what Black Acre put out. Some next level music.
