Vinyl Retention: Lone

Wednesday, June 5th, 2013

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

Next month sees the new single from British producer Lone drop on the seminal R&S Records imprint.

Following on from his brilliant Galaxy Garden LP on the label last year, Lone takes us down a jamming, funky House path with the title track ‘Airglow Fires’. Full of classic Detroit inspired goodness you’ve come to expect from the man, both sides of this single are brimming with happy and seriously catchy vibes.

The flip is equally as catchy as the A-side, utilizing near identical drum sounds & patterns, but opting for a quirky artificial flute/pan pipe lead that can’t help but put a smile on your face.

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.

Anger Management: Joel Grind

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

We check in with all things heavy on RTRFM’s Critical Mass show.

Joel Grind is a busy man. Though mostly known for his work in Toxic Holocaust, he has found time to run two record labels (Nuclear Hell Records and Witching Metal Records), release an album as War Ripper, play live with Japanese black/thrash brigade Abigail and record the Tiger Junkies project (with Yasuyuki Suzuki from Abigail). In between all of this, Grind decided to self release a 25 minute, ten track album of ‘80s-era Bathory worship.

The Yellowgoat Sessions is, in Joel Grind’s own words, “raw, stripped down, reverbed and distorted to hell”. Most of the songs power along to a furious Motorhead/D-beat rhythm, only slowing for the mid-paced “Foul Spirit Within” and the doom crawl of “The Eternal One”.

Lead single “Cross Damnation” is a blast of ‘80s punk/speed metal worship: fast paced, distorted and verging on being out of control. Topped off with the perfect dodgy ‘80s reverb on vocals and a screeching guitar solo, it’s not at all original, but a lot of fun.
