I have part of a stall at the Independent Label Market at Coals Drop Yard tomorrow.
And when I said I might bring tapes I meant I will bring tapes and oh boy are they some tapes!

Having so much fun going through the heap of tapes I brought back from Morocco.
This one from Khadija El Bidaoui is particularly special and unusual…gasba flutes and synth bass 🤩🤩🤩

I did this playlist for Mohammed Syfkhan’s show at The Rose Hill on 16th March. A mix of contemporary and vintage sounds from Syria and the region. Don’t want to appear big-headed but it’s bloody great!

I don’t know about these things so I need help.
If I made a relatively low key and possibly tasteful Hive Mind t-shirt, would people want them?

Just a reminder to listen to Nino Gvilia if you haven’t already done so. I know I’m biased but it’s such a gorgeous album

Hey! I have a bit of a stall at the Independent Label Market at Coal Drops Yard on Saturday.
