This live session recorded during the lockdown period is an incredible example of Lauren’s potent practice.Also featured this week – Poland’s WIDT stretch out into new projects, plus some prime cuts of 2020 hip-hop and ambience.

Here comes a mish mash of American tape junk from the late-20th century, including shopping mall karaoke booth recordings, kids playing with their tape decks, rambling raps, salesmen, voicemail recordings – it’s all there. What a strange time. Just like today. There's real beauty in this kind of warped analogue self-documentation; the ancestor to today's crystalline selfies. Both times seem to scream a hope and a desire simply to be seen, heard, and acknowledged.

This month's show is a look back on the year, with a few choice cuts from tape I found myself replaying and replaying, from I Jahbar's fiery mixtape of wild dancehall, to Byron Westbrook's epic synth wig outs, to Rojin Sharafi and YATTA's unique indefinable compositions, and much else. Original sounds continue to emerge from the tape-released music scene – like primordial live first crawling from the oceans.

Lots of tapes coming in the post, dangerously hot weather beating down on my sweaty face while lying around the city with my walkman blaring worn copies into cheap headphones. But the first day of Autumn is here – and thus something of another annual tradition is too in the form of an anonymous and strange mix of gear from GeAR (aka, mysterious Californian outfit, German Army). Half the unreleased/new/unusable stuff is by the mothership itself, the other half is solo stuff by one of its pilots, Mr. Peter Kris (not that one). No further explanation necessary.
