Friday mornings get scary - Bempah & JK elevating your vibe right in time for the weekend.
In an time of almost surveillance-like coverage of popular musicians, where artists are expected to be 100% available and known to their fans, there stands Burial. Antithetical to the social media era, William Bevan continues to be (mostly) a figure of mystery to his legion of fans. His signature sound transmutes a postmodern patchwork of samples – R&B vocals, video game soundtracks, field-recorded ephemera, and organic percussive elements – into a club melancholia that could only come from London.

Initially Fact TwentyTwo was a duo, James Towning with singer Dave Butler, but eventually became a solo project with Towning releasing a number of cassettes in the late 1980's. Fact TwentyTwo embraced the growing cassette culture and the do-it-yourself philosophy of releasing music independently. In the early 1990’s the graphic design magazine Emigré started a record label called Emigré Music, releasing two Fact TwentyTwo CDs, The Biographic Humm and Energy, Work, and Power. One reviewer commented, “With the sampler loaded to maximum capacity, Fact TwentyTwo churns out compelling mechanical songs that bring to mind early New Order.” A third Fact TwentyTwo CD Sticky Pop was self-released in 1995. Sticky Pop has been described as “Impeccably arranged bleeps, burps, clanks, and words set to a just-so B.P.M.”
