Schreek – I’m In Your Bins Again [April 2020]
April rummaging..
Sunken Paths – Part VII
Moods. It’s all about the moods. This month we feature a pairing known as Isolated Community heavily throughout the mix, for no other reason than I think they’re brilliant and that the tracks chosen here act perfectly as waymarkers as we move through a host of ups and downs, bumps, scrapes, highs and lows from a collection of other high priests & priestesses of the dark electronic and folk arts. All thrillers, no Killers.
Skylarking – Exit
A mostly vinyl mix of fairly oldish tunes… scattered film samples from films like Young Frankenstein and Blue Velvet.
Culture as a Dare – 18/04/21
Actually I’m a bit more dynamic today, could I possibly change the description of Sunday’s show to ‘Emma celebrates the joy of running and mourns the loss of The Railway Hotel, the premier gig venue and the former heart of Southend’s alternative community’
Mr Krstoffa – The Foreign Exchange
Mr Krstoffa makes a welcome return to Tak Tent Radio..
Lumpen Nobleman – The Rat Converters
Lumpen Nobleman gives us a dose of coastal curiosities
Richard Youngs’ Radio Show – Format Madness Part 2
More Format Madness from Richard Youngs! All 7s this time; featuring The Human League, Kingsmen, Shop Assistants, Taming Power, Half Japanese, Taming Power and Blondie. This is the last of Richard’s regular fortnightly shows for Tak Tent. So this one comes with a doff of the cap and a big, sincere thank you.
Auchterturra High Jinks – Surface, Space, Schema
New music from LTO, Christine Ott, Rob St John, Astral Social Club, Dogs versus Shadows and Simon Klee, Haq, SAD MAN and Dalhous. The Haq track is from “Mark Barton’s The Sunday Experience” compilation on Edinburgh’s Bearsuit Records – a kind of celebration of the work of writer/music reviewer, Mark Barton who, sadly, died last year. All proceeds go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
