Noods Radio: ...Following on from our first outing Hypha we’re back with Splint, an 11 track compilation featuring new and original music from Noods residents and associates, showcasing artists both from our home in Bristol and across the world.Splint consolidates its artists disparate influences into a coherent sound, a series of swampy, low tempo workouts, filled with echo drenched vocals, sludgy drums and irregular grooves that unspool gradually rewarding repeated listens.This compilation features an entirely new cast of contributors, including Barcelona duo Dame Area, Bristol based sound artist EBU, and Avon Terror Corps affiliate Jackson Veil Panther.Splint will be available as a limited run cassette and digital download — get them while they're hot!

RWD-FWD: ...“This cassette is a re release of a 2 track cassette Reducer gave away to the 1st 23 punters through the door at our 2nd gig in 1985.We have added 2 other tracks from the same recording session because we are lovely people who wish to share enlightenment.Other than that this cassette appears as it did back then.At the beginning of Reducer we had no equipment of our own, so used what was available in the “back room” 4 track cassette recording home studios, we could just afford.These 4 tracks are the first ever recorded by Reducer – the then 3 members all playing the same synthesizer at the same time whilst tape loops ran alongside, and/or one of us playing bells & flutes, whilst the other two played the synth, all tracks are recorded live with no overdubs.This simple but extremely effective way of getting an un rehearsed spontaneity into our work proved to us we had an understanding & empathy that would go on to become the fully fledged Reducer.”

XRA: ...Lurka and Bruce are present a new project under the label and alias XRA.Capturing the unstoppable energy of the hardcore continuum, within a razor sharp frame of IDM kinetics; lean, mean with a little bit of serene.
