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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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: [...]

Yes indeed. Yours truly doing the DJ thing this weekend. The place is Club OVO in Nakameguro (my manor) this Sunday between 19:00 and 24:00. Other DJs on the night include the most estimable MattB, the highly edible Lucca, and the generally indelible sAne who will be performing a unique audio/visual set that’s surely not [...]

So here’s the latest Made In Glitch Podcast. Just finished recording, editing, and uploading it this very evening in fact – it really is that fresh.

Last week I finished work on Episode 3 of the Made In Glitch Podcast. I’ve been pimping it about on most places already but on the off chance you haven’t heard it yet, here it is. It’s got music and interviews from Rob Speakerbruiser, Mochipet and the AMAZING DJ Ken One, plus plenty of photos [...]
