Check out my video for the new BENDING WRONGS track, Computer Controlled Hamster. Using never-before-seen archive footage it tells the true story of how during World War 2, Allied forces secretly built a number of Computer Controlled Hamsters (CCH) that were dropped behind enemy lines to help win the war.

Thanks for the memories. The Braindance pioneers pick their top 10 Rephlex tracks. When Grant Wilson-Claridge and Richard D. James started Rephlex Records back in 1991 I don’t think either of them could have imagined the journey it would take them on. The sheer quality and diversity of the label’s catalog makes it one of the most important – and respected – imprints in electronic music. Now, two decades later – and with over 200 releases under its belt – Rephlex has closed up shop. […]

Staying above water. The Voidic Charm of Ultrademon – and the evolution of Seapunk. After a debut release on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex Records, Kansas-born Chicago-based producer Ultrademon is back – releasing second album ‘Voidic Charms’ on his own Coral Records Internazionale imprint.

“Bangor’s Justin Egli, who currently lives in Tokyo, tells us lies about what he’s been up to on his travels.” I’ve had some odd experiences on the radio since I started this site. On Christmas Day 2012 I was on the BBC talking about travel, then at the end of last year BBC Radio 4 turned one of my short stories into a spoken word piece for one of their programmes. Last week I was briefly on the radio again, this time lying through my teeth […]
