Naik

Monday, April 29th, 2013

Perth’s Naik is releasing “a collection of beats, jams and collaborations” in the form of the Mutating Machines EP, giving us a feel of a second LP due to drop later in the year.

As the ultra-slick preview clip below shows, it promises to be something pretty special.

Mutating Machines is being launched at The Bird on Friday (May 3), with support from The Weapon Is Sound, Lowaski, Leon Osborn and Nathan-J.

Eat a Bag of Mix: Vivian Gauntlett

Friday, April 26th, 2013

Eat a Bag of Mix is the name of a feature here on life is noise where we get a DJ, musician, producer, industry figure or just someone with good taste in fucked-up and weird music to give us a mix of music that has influenced them, or tunes that are currently rocking their world.

This week, we’re checking in with Vivian Gauntlett. Viv works as a bike courier during the day, but come night time all he wants to do is dance. This fuelled his love for music and made him want to try make others move as well. Early in 2013 Viv and Henry Sims started throwing parties as part of the Untitled Collective.

Come check out the next one at The Bird on May the 8th!

Vinyl Retention: Good Looking Records

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

Every Wednesday, Sardi lets us know what’s tickling his eardrums in the world of electronic music…

Good Looking Records is one of the most prestigious labels in the Drum & Bass world. Known in the past for pioneering the atmospheric sound and then nurturing in a new era of musical D&B with the advent of Liquid Funk, it left a gaping hole for others to fill when they went silent for a few years. Persistent rumours of a relaunch of the label seemed to surface every six months, but up until now, they were only rumours. The wait is over.

With a reboot including remixes of two classic LTJ Bukem tracks under their belt, the latest GLR release sees a hoard of previously signed music finally see the light of day. ‘The Sessions’ is a collection of tracks from the who’s who of the current musical D&B world as well as old favourites EZ Rollers dropping seven tracks of sublime deep & funky rolling grooves. It’s a great package and serves as an introduction to where the label is at and where it’s headed.

Keep an eye out for the second part ‘Pre Sessions’ due later this week.

If you like what you hear, be sure to tune in to RTRFM’s Full Frequency between 3pm & 5pm, as Sardi and Dart explore the latest beats & bass from around the globe.
