MP3 – Fracture & Neptune live on Rude FM 03/10/10

After much hassling of DJ E, here is the recording of our return to Rude FM 88.2 after god knows how many years. We had a great time and it was pure vibes all the way. The phoneline did not stop blinging all show, it felt very, very 90s. We ended up doing a bit of over time so i’ve put the 2 halves of the show in one handy zip package for you. Enjoy!

Big up DJ E and the Rude FM family.

Astrophonica is 1 year old!

Wow, time has really caught up with us at Astrophonica and we have been so busy with stuff that we only just realised that as of 21st Sept we are 1 year old! It has flown by! Thinking back a year to a vague idea of starting a label so we could at least release a tune that we loved, Clissold, to the recognition and anticipation our releases now have brings a tear to our eyes! We are full steam ahead now! So thanks so much to everyone for making a great and inspiring year. Much more to come.

All together now… HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASTROPHONICA!!!!!!

happy birthday Astrophonica

Fracture, Skitty & Nolige in the studio – Astrophonica Vs Foundation X

Astrophonica met Foundation X last weekend in Wolverhampton for a marathon session of pure vibes. Foundation X is a label set up by Wolverhampton bad man Skitty and is set to do big things on the underground, taking it back to the roots.

In between BBQ Baby Chicken, Wolverhampton Wanderers wonder-goals (Fracture is an avid fan) and pints of Banks’s Bitter we managed to spend a lot of time in the studio and get something done that we are all very excited about.

More info soon… WATCH THIS SPACE!

Support DJ Flight to replace Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/djflight/

So Mary Anne Hobbs has left the BBC after an immense career. Her show was amazing and will be missed. So who best to take over? Long time supporter of Fracture & Neptune and Astrophonica, DJ Flight!

Natalie has always been a DJ that we check for. I remember one time we went and saw her play at a now defunct club called ‘Home’ in London and she dropped Danny Breaks’ Aquatica, which at the time no one else was playing. This won her instant Astrophonica approval! Her shows on Rinse FM around the turn of the millenium and then on BBC 1Xtra were always packed full of music from across the board and thoroughly enjoyable.

So get on it and sign the petition for more good music on the FM airwaves!
