Helena Hauff’s Secret Thirteen Tops 4 Charts. Currently number 1 in Mixcloud’s industrial, new wave, minimal and experimental charts – Helena Hauff‘s Secret Thirteen creates a sonic narrative connecting carefully selected tracks from 1974 to 2014, in which “nocturnal Nico chant perfectly coexists with abrasive lo-fi punk of Asbestos Rockpyle, while monolith Kondaktor pulsations fit together with classy Frenchy new wave charms of Kas Product.” Stream above, full description and track listing here.
Grime Don Slackk on Solid Steel. Instrumental grime don Slackk steps up for Ninja Tune‘s Solid Steel Radio Show – “Some new stuff from people we’ve been playing at Boxed (and have had play at Boxed), some brand new producers that I haven’t really played anywhere before, and some new stuff from me too. Also a couple of collaborations that are getting their first plays, in the Novelist & Grandmixxer stuff, and Edgem, a new project from JT the Goon, Dullah Beatz & Boylan.” Stream and download above.
