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!

Here’s a couple of vids of the tracks forthcoming on Astrophonica 004 featuring the man himself at work! You can even spy Neptune having a sly munch in the studio.

Beat Mining with the Vinyl Hoover

Here’s a great little show on record digging by Toby Amies. Features Steinski, Cold Cut and 45 King among others. It’s a seriously good listen and is a subject we are passionate about. I particularly enjoyed the Cold Cut commentary on the Paid In Full remix.

Check it out!
