So I’ve got an EP coming out early next month on Made In Glitch. It’s called ‘Fake Heads’ and, as well as the title track, includes not one but two (!) remixes by the very excellent ill.Gates (one of which features the vocal talents of Mr. Junia-T). Anyway, to promote the release I put together [...]
This month we’re headed Stateside to catch up with San Francisco-based DJ, promoter, blogger and all-round musical oracle Kid Kameleon. As well as organising the notorious Surya Dub Club night, Kid Kameleon has also shared stages with the likes of Flying Lotus, Kode9, and Drop The Lime – [...]
Beta gone and done a garage mix. No glitching, no beatfuckery – just an hours worth of bouncy basslines, skittering beats, and silky smooth vocals. Enjoy!

03. D Base – Base Theory
04. Blowfelt – Shake To This

It’s 2010 and the Made In Glitch Podcast is back with a head-nod-tastic blend of backpacker beats and bass-heavy bangers from rising star of the French electronic scene, Ficus. You may also know Ficus as half of the Strasbourg-based dubstep duo Caterva or from his monthly online radio show Ficus Fresh Beats.

… is what this site is, so apologies for any broken links, unfinished pages, and other assorted weirdness. It should, I hope, be more or less all sorted in the next few weeks. Thanks to MaxIsNow for the theme.

So every year for the past few years myself and a select group of superfriends have done a sort of Best Music Of The Year compilation CD exchange type thing. Basically each member of the group selects their favourite songs from that year and puts them on a CD which they then swap with the [...]
In this episode we’re taking a one-way trip inside the demented mind of Made In Glitch cohort, BETAMAXNOMATES (that’d be me, obviously). Indie-pop, dubstep, glitchy hip hop, techno, chiptunes, UK garage, and a healthy smattering of old skool breakbeat rave – it really shouldn’t work, but it does. Look out for forthcoming releases from [...]
In this episode we’ve got 30 minutes of heavyweight beats and rhymes from Salva , the San Francisco-based creator of the Frite Nite label. Bumping bass, analogue bleeps, and rapidfire rhymes are the order of the day; be sure to check out Salva’s releases on the Made In Glitch label at the Juno [...]
In this episode we’ve got a glitch-nasty, bass-heavy monster of a mix from up-and-coming London producer MusSck. Keep your eyes on the Made In Glitch website for all the details of MusSck ’s forthcoming release on Made In Glitch Records!

This site is amazing. A collection of photos from abandoned places around the world. Won’t even bother trying to describe them here – besides I’d have to type 1000 words for each one. Just click the link and be suitably blown away.

Lovely (albeit oddly unsettling) stuff here from Mitchell & Webb:

So next week I shall be DJing at the fifth Tokyo Laptop Battle. Rejoice sinners!
If I understand the brief correctly I shall be playing before, during and indeed after the ‘battle’ proper. So it’s essentially an extended BETAMAXNOMATES set interrupted by some bouts of laptop-based lunges, parrys and reprisals. The spectacle of Laptop Battle truly [...]
Podcast time once more! In this episode we’ve got the lowdown on the Tokyo Laptop Battle – an innovative new electronic music event happening Friday June 19th in Super Deluxe in Nishi-Azabu. There’s an interview with the organisers, Matt and Claudius, not to mention a unique ‘ethniglitch’ mix from Matt’s alter ego Control Freak. Be [...]
And so the Little Boots album arrives at last. Is it all we (I) could have hoped for? Well, yes. And no. Yesandno.
Like pretty much every other album these days about half the tracks on here have been floating around in various forms for about a year now. Still, it’s remarkable how generally cohesive the [...]
Farewell James! The Apprentice, alas, will be significantly less quotable now that you’ve gone.
Neither of the finalists (Kate and Yasmina) are much cop really but I’d prefer Yasmina to win, if only because she seems to have a bit of personality and – from certain angles, in certain lights – is actually quite attractive.
Here’s (I [...]
As if one retina-scorching vidular extravaganza wasn’t enough, The Alchemist has done it again, this time slicing and dicing the highlights of the Made In Glitch Valentine’s Day Party at La Fabrique in Shibuya. Featuring some knob-twiddling, pad-hammering theatrics from Rob Speakerbruiser, Mochipet, DJ Ken One, Matt B, Lucca, and of course my bad self, [...]
Here’s the newest Made In Glitch promotional video shot by Antipodean auteur and unabashed Michael Bay-fanboy ‘The Alchemist’ Michael Condon and featuring some glitchy four-note tunage from yours truly. Various shots and stills from this clip will be soon seen in Michael’s upcoming video for edIT of The Glitch Mob. Watch this space for more.

Yes yes, oh yay! It’s the new video from Dragonette.

Time for another Made In Glitch Podcast. In this episode we’ve got a sizzling summertime mix from Amsterdam’s DJ Mataklap. Dancehall, cumbia, samba, kuduro, soca – this is tropicalia at it’s most twisted and practically demands to be played at high volume. Plus, there’s all the details of our latest Made In Glitch digital release: [...]
Finally finished up my rave mix this evening. It’s 18 odd minutes of fast-paced fun – air horns, breakbeats, chipmunk divas, piano stabs… you know the score.

The Midnight Meat Train
director | Ryuhei Kitamura
starring | Bradley Cooper, Leslie Bibb, Vinnie Jones etc.
Based on a Clive Barker short story, a deadly game of cat and blah blah blah, when obsession turns to yada yada yada, Vinnie Jones etc.
Delightfully stupid film, this. The plot is pure nonsense: in a nutshell, mild-mannered photographer rescues a [...]
