EMW TV Transmission: Datacode - Wraithmachine Chapter 1 (Methlab Recordings)

MethLab Recordings have very kindly allowed us to present the already much revered first part of the Datacode Cyber Punk Operetta ‘Wraith Machine’ on EMW TV.

Having been picked up previously by VICE Creators Lab (https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/ae5vwj/cyberpunk-cgi-opera-features-an-ai-having-a-mental-breakdown) and XLR8R (https://www.xlr8r.com/news/datacode-depicts-the-mind-bending-journey-of-an-ai-in-new-audio-visual-release) this intense and deeply satisfying work of art still remains current.

The story of an AI machine finding a conscience and having what us humans would define as a mental breakdown.

Italian artist Datacode creates a piece that questions are understanding of the capabilities of machines and their purpose. Spending 6 months in the math of Cycling '74 Max and Jitter and the waste grounds of consumer technology.

Repurposing old technology to tell the story of a new technology not yet realised.

AI is a big topic at the moment and many are afraid of the po…

30 Years On The Train: An interview with Neil Perch.

As the bass rattled my physical body, vibrating eyeballs and my soul, I could see someone leaning over a large piece of equipment, working it like a space ship control panel. Twisting knobs, throwing faders and moving to the heavy rhythms. This person was Neil Perch, original founder of Zion Train and the gig was in Narbeth Queens Hall ( I dont remember the exact date).
I have ever since wanted to get to the bottom of this spell binding, mystical process which I know now as Dub mixing.
It is with great honour that I introduce a feature with Neil Perch, looking back at the 30 years of Zion Train and providing some insight in to the sounds created.
30 Years On The Train: An Interview With Neil Perch.

Let us start with a particular track titled ‘Llanberis Pass’. Judging by release dates and info on Wobbly Web this was being made around the same time as ‘Passage To Indica’ an album that went on to influence what many now call Dub Techno.

However, ‘Llanberis Pass’ actually found its way ont…

DJ Veto Reviews: Mike Nyoni and Born Free - My Own Thing - Now-Again Reserve

Mike Nyoni and Born Free - My Own Thing - Now-Again Reserve
This 2 disc on revered label Now-Again's Reserve subscription series continues the label's fascination with the Zamrock scene and sound. It's obviously a labour of love for label boss, Egon, and the care and attention lavished on the package serves to do justice to the music presented.
The context given by the accompanying literature gives a great insight to the geopolitical landscape of the era, Zambia's position on this landscape, and the journey between now and then for both the country and the artefacts of this scene.
Focusing on Mike Nyoni, this compilation distils three albums of music, both solo and with the Born Free band.
The sound is much tighter and cleaner than you'd expect based on the previous releases in the series. The guitar work is clear and melodic, utilising a blues/funk scratch rhythmic interplayed with a pickier lead to great ef…
