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.
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.
A meltdown of electronic, J-pop, punk and garage rock. Features Suzuki Ami, Peggy Hayama, Nagisa Yoko and Guitar Wolf.

“My mate David Howcroft likes to listen to his bootleg recordings of Sunken Paths shows on his personal cassette player whilst walking the lonnens of his Northumberland stomping grounds during his daily COVID-19-freindly exercise sessions, dictaphone in hand and making field recordings as he goes. I suppose I go on similar treks in my head when I’m in the mix, though not bound by the physical constraints of any given topography. I’m certain too that David goes to places other than the ones his feet traverse, music will do that for you. That the creations from these wonderful artists of sound sets us on and carries us through these journeys, literal and metaphorical, is one of the few things keeping me sane (or just about, anyway). Wherever this mix takes you, I hope you find the experience to your liking and come back again sometime. You are always welcome.” Darren
Shane Quentin makes his Tak Tent debut with Skylarking. A new mix series kicking off with a selection of Afrobeat tracks including Fela Kuti, Tony Allen and the Africa 70, Bola Johnson and Max Cilla.
