Programmed for CLUB INTEGRAL by Ed Baxter. Ed was a nominee for the Sony Radio Academy Awards 2010 "Station Programmer of the Year" (he's director of Resonance104.4fm), was the runner-up of the PRSF New Music Award 2008 (for his Victorian machine-music “Carousel” project) and featured in the 2009 Independent on Sunday's Happy List as one of the “100 people who have made Britain a better, happier place.”

KINNIE THE EXPORER

Kinnie the Explorer is a new post-rock group from Dorset in town to record some new songs under the guidance of the legendary Xentos “Fray” Bentos (L.Voag, Amos & Sara, Die Trip Computer Die). In their first six months together, they've supported Noah and the Whale at the Bournemouth O2 and their joint release on Art Is Hard Records (a compilation audio t-shirt) sold out in days. According to the Sound and Music Sampler, Kinnie are “Freudian expressionist teenage minimalist avant-rockers” while This Music Wins blog states: “Kinnie The Explorer manage to combine cool stillness and frenetic kinetic activity in precisely the same field - evoking that sense of uncanny suspension so typical of moving through over-familiar yet alienating urban landscapes, like observing strangers lit in high-rise stairwells at night from a fast moving train. This is a young group who pay attention to detail and mood, don't strive for pointless effect and achieve something timeless.”

Blood, Its On Every Wall EP by KinnieTheExplorer

OSCILLATORIAL BINNAGE

Oscillatorial Binnage is the ground-breaking experimental combo of Fari Bradley (“Women Take Back the Noise;” London Mela's “Obscura”), Toby Clarkson (“Show Flat”), Chris Weaver (Resonance Radio Orchestra, “Free Lab Radio”) and Dan Wilson (Meadow House; winner of the Arts Foundation Award for electro-acoustic composition; “Leonardo Music Journal”). They make an awesome racket of profound philosophical and technical complexity based on the analysis and amplification of the resonant frequencies of everyday objects. “If Doctor John Dee had made musique concrete,” the late John Michell wrote, “it would probably have sounded like the Binnage.”

FLAMEPROOF MOTH

Flameproof Moth is the artist formerly known as The Boycott Coca Cola Experience. He presents new scintillating topical songs from his recently released CD, “Women Should Be In Charge.” Flameproof makes Billy Bragg sound like Nick Clegg and has been dubbed “the John Butler Train of Dog Kennel Hill” by the gobsmacked interns of Grazia. He's been described with unerring accuracy by Will Hodgkinson in The Guardian as “a tall, regal man with an upper lip so stiff it is incapable of movement. He performs songs that mostly consist of long imaginary arguments with people about where electricity comes from.” “This guy's a genius,” says Medway Delta songsmith Pete Molinari. And artworld agitprop demigod Bob and Roberta Smith concurs: “This guy's a genius.” Point taken.

P.P.C. AND THE Q.V.

P.P.C. and the Q.V. play delicate down tempo songs made with horizontal instruments and say they are always happy to let things grow or shrink or stay whenever they need to. Rising out of the heart-warming ashes of The Bank of Restlessness, and containing echoes of all manner of speculative, abandoned and inchoate combos, real and imagined, this numinous underground all-star band features Vicky Steer (Blanket), Matthew Rains (Yeberobo, Esiotrot, Mentalist Association) and Jabs Extrema (Chubby Nest, Shimmy Rivers and And Canal). Organic, involuted, limpid, sinister and lovely by turns, Time Out has called them “the musical equivalent of the glass of milk carried slowly up the stairs by Cary Grant in Hitchock's immortal Suspicion.”
