Joining us for Tapes #141 is Brown Excellence; the sounds of skin vs the sounds of soul. 

The Bristol-forged, London-based duo explore their respective south asian identities & expansive club music tastes in journey-like amalgamations of sound that transcend genre, and unite cultures. Effectively, each set is an artistic ode to the absurdity and richness of the Brown-British experience.

Bristol based selector, Eksish brings us minimal, wobbly house and deep club weapons for Tapes #122.

Bringing you Tapes #89 is Al Wootton, a producer, DJ, artist and operator of the record labels TRULE and Amidah Recordings. Through his own releases and those on his label he navigates the zone between Techno, Dub, and sparse, hypnotic percussion workouts. He is also one third of the band Holy Tongue.

Journeying from Brighton to Bristol and now residing in London, Syz (Oli Samways) has an impressive back catalogue of sounds and is here to take over Tapes #59. With releases on Method Lab and Pressure Dome, a sell-out EP on Control Freak Recordings, a single track release on Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy’s esteemed Peach Discs, and more. It’s no surprise that he’s an artist that has rightfully earned respect and support of many revered artists including Mary Anne Hobbs, Pearson Sound, Danielle, Zenker Brothers & Peverelist to name a few.

Up next on our Tapes series #47 is Jurango. The Bristol-based, DJ and producer has released on Livity Sound, Pressure Dome, [re]sources, and Intervention. Along with a residency at Bristol-based party PTS, and a regular monthly show on Noods Radio called Staring At The Wall. Enjoy this face-paced mix!

Rising through the UK scene over the past few years, Eich is renowned for her hard hitting selection of percussive drum hits and pitched vocal chops, often connecting the dots between bass music and techno, with groove, soul, and swing at the heart of her work. The launch of her label, More Cowbell, has reignited the flame for a sound that was so prominent in the Bristol post-dubstep landscape.

With support from Loefah's Swamp 81 and London label Keysound Recordings, Eich has gone on to work with a number of renowned artists within the underground music scene, including Addison Groove, Martyn and more and we’re so excited to have her feature as #36 on our Tapes series - happy listening!

The rise of online radio stations with their unrestricted musical policies has been a perfect blessing for Tia Cousins. She is a collector with a passion for in-between sounds, for experimental genres and niches both old and new. Frankly, she has a collection that belies her young years, but one that has won her plenty of recognition in underground circles, from NTS to Balamii, the Tate Gallery to Brilliant Corners. We’re so excited to have her feature as #29 on our Tapes series.

Bristol based, DJ, Producer, and Pianist Manami has been killing it playing on huge lineups for years, holding monthly residencies on Worldwide FM and Noods, and releasing a string of solid releases over the last year that suggest there are more records sure to be in the pipeline. At the end of 2020 Manami gave Origins the best end-of-year soundtrack when she took over our Selects playlist and it's the percussive, eclectic and driving taste in her music and sets that makes us so excited to welcome her for Origins Tapes #27.
