TEST PRESSING

Apiento, a.k.a Paul Byrne runs the invaluable Test Pressing blog and releases music on World Building, World Unknown and more. His show has that esoteric techno thing and whatever suits the mood…

Conor Thomas co-runs the Boomkat Editions and The Death Of Rave labels, as well as spinning records all over - including on NTS. Expect choice selections tending towards the grimmer and darker ends of modern electronic music's fringes…

New Wave Krautrock Prog Rock Kosmische

Optimo is JG Wilkes & JD Twitch; record label, and longstanding Glaswegian party. You can expect a lot from their new monthly slot, sure to dig up some obscurities from post-punk, new wave, EBM, house and techno. Bags of unreleased stuff, too.
