We were absolutely buzzing to have had Jan Hammered contribute a 1hr mix to our monthly radio show on Reform Radio this month. We’re even more buzzing to hear that the London-based DJ has a second and maybe even a third instalment on the way. Watch this space! Ian Williams, aka Jan Hammered, has been […]

Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: Soft Rocks
We recently put some questions to Brighton-based DJ/producer/label owner collective, Soft Rocks (well actually, one quarter of the outfit, Chris Galloway). Between them, Soft Rocks have been incredibly busy over the last decade or so, putting out a steady stream of records, running various labels and DJing in pretty much every corner of the globe. […]
Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: Red Axes
We’ve had Tel Aviv-based duo, Red Axes (AKA Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi) on our radar for a while now, and it’s pretty hard not to take notice, given their string of consistently solid tracks over the last year or so. Huge hitters, such as ‘Silver Bed’, ‘Caminho De Dreyfus’ and their remix of ‘Margot’s […]
BE (Garth BE) – The Seven Movements LP – SweetSticky
After a series of releases on Stilove4music, Prime Numbers, Wolf Music and Neroli, Garth BE locked himself up in the studio to lay down an organic self indulgent LP, to be released on his own new imprint SweetSticky. The label is set to be an outlet for music, which is not held back by the […]
Jamie XX – Sleep Sound – Young Turks
This new track from Jamie XX, released last week, unsurprisingly caught our attention at YAMB. His talents never fail to impress – The XX are one of the best UK bands that have emerged in recent years and his DJ sets always get crowds going. His remix work never becomes tiresome and his own production […]
New Video for Daniel Avery’s ‘Drone Logic’
A very slick video has just been released for the title track from Daniel Avery’s debut album, ‘Drone Logic’. The video was directed by the very talented Joshua Lipworth and you can check it out above. Will she ever make it through that door…..? […]
Vermont – Vermont – Kompakt
With the short crisp chill of early spring moving into longer hazy days, we were desperate for something new to while away the time spent dreaming of summer bliss. As if by magic this new self-titled record turned up from Vermont – a collaboration of Danilo Plessow (MCDE) and Innervisions’ Marcus Worgull. This is the […]
What the Freak? with special guest Phil France – Sat 19th April 2014
If you’re around the North West on Saturday 19th April, a trip to Hebden Bridge Trades Club should be pencilled into your diary. We’ve been listening to The Cinematic Orchestra’s Phil France for a few months now and we absolutely love his new(ish) album, Swimmers. You can catch Phil playing live with a 6-piece orchestra, […]
Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: Mari Kvien Brunvoll
If you listened to the Ricoshëi mixes we posted a couple of weeks back, you’ll undoubtedly remember the Ricardo Villalobos remix of Mari Kvien Brunvoll’s ‘Everywhere You Go’. It’s epic. After hearing it for the first time I instantly fell in love with that hypnotic voice, as I’m sure many people have done before me! […]
Demian – With Love & Voodoo – (CLOUDED 017)
For the past couple of years, Matt Walsh’s Clouded Vision Recordings has been my go-to label if I’m on the prowl for solid, no-nonsense tracks. Matt has a knack for finding and putting out incredibly powerful productions on his label, and the latest instalment from Parisian producer, Demian, stays true to form. ‘With Love and […]
Clark – Superscope / Riff Through the Fog – Warp
Chris Clark is an artist who has been releasing music for over 10 years and has collaborated with YAMB favourites Nathan Fake, Luke Abbott and most notably Broadcast. His last release, 2012’s ‘Iradelphic,’ was something which was labelled as a drastic shift in musical style, full of heartfelt vocals and live instrumentation. True to his […]
Steve Cook – Tusk Wax 13
Tusk Wax can do no wrong and that’s certainly true of Steve Cook’s addition to the label, Tusk Wax 13. As you’d expect from the London-based label , the limited edition 4 tracker really packs a punch – expect some pretty heavy, thumping, slow mo grooves. Steve Cook is one half of Clouded Vision, so […]
Dokta Venom – Burnt Roses EP – Five Fold
Five Fold Records is a new London based label looking to release quality dance music. They started strong with a jazz funk influenced release from AD Bourke, who worked his broken discoid rhythms into the labels self imposed lack of genre and tempo. Dokta Venom (Daniel Maunick) is up next here and does not disappoint. […]
JOE’S BAKERY BAND – MMX202
Recently, we’ve really taken notice of French label, Macadam Mambo. If you haven’t already, we highly recommend you check out their back catalogue here. There’s a couple of exciting forthcoming releases, which we’ll be reporting on in due course, but before that we thought we should share a release from a few months back from […]
Ricoshëi – Perfect Like You (+ 2 seriously good mixes)
We’re massive fans of DJ Koze, so we keep a keen eye on releases from his label, Pampa Records. The latest addition to the label comes from LA-based duo, Ricoshëi. This duo consists of Nikko Gibler and Jake Patrick and this is their debut single. And what a debut it is. It would sit perfectly […]
Magic Wand Edits – We Love Japan Brother Ninjas
Volume 8 of Is It Balearic..? side label, Magic Wand is out now and it’s a hell of a record. Extremely vibey disco edits from label founders, Coyote, along with Magellanic Cloud and Oyama. However, the stand out track is an uncredited edit of Frank Chickens‘ 1984 record, ‘We Are Ninja’. The original is brilliant, […]
Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: KZA
So, we’ve been really looking forward to this one for a while. We managed to track down Japanese edit king, Ikuzumi Kitazawa aka ‘KZA’, to answer a couple of questions about his new album, where he started his musical career and what he’s got planned for the future. To get you in the mood, here […]
The Dancehouse Live feat. Moscow Transport, Letters of Fiesta and Silverclub

YAMB & R$N speak to: James Holden
I recently teamed up with the very fine chaps at The Ransom Note and we were lucky enough to get a preview of James Holden’s forthcoming album, The Inheritors. The album’s been a long time coming and I’ve been ridiculously excited about listening to it. It didn’t disappoint. Here’s a taster: We caught up with […]
Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: Mugwump
If you haven’t heard of Mugwump, the chances are you’ve heard their music. In fact, it’s almost a dead cert that you’ll recognise some of their back catalogue. The Belgian duo (Geoffroy and Kolombo) have DJ’d across much of Europe since the mid-nineties and have been releasing their own genre-bending music for the best part […]
Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: Daniel Avery
Next up in the Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: series, we’re pleased to introduce one of the hottest talents in electronic music at the moment. He’s released a string of huge records over the past year or so, that Mr. Weatherall himself features regularly in his peak time sets and refers to as “gimmick-free […]
YAMB’s Top 10 of 2012
2012 has been one hell of a year and that time is upon us to reflect on the year gone by. We survived an apocalypse, Team GB cleaned up at the Olympics and some prick with NHS glasses won the X-Factor. With only a day and a bit left of 2012, I thought it as […]
Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: Craig Bratley
For the second instalment of ‘Yet Another Music Blog speaks to….’, we’re proud to present DJ, producer, label owner and absolute gent, Craig Bratley. Craig first came to our attention when ‘Birdshell’ rocked dance floors up and down the country for the best part of last year. Mr. Weatherall championed the record, featuring it in […]
Yet Another Music Blog speaks to: The Revenge
Glasgow’s Graeme Clarke, aka The Revenge, has been a staple in my record collection, in one form or another, for many years now. With a solid back catalogue of productions and remixes, along with a reputation for killer deep, dark and twisted DJ sets, we thought The Revenge would be the perfect man to kick […]
Bonar Bradberry – This Way Up (The Dead Rose Music Company Remix)
Leeds lad Bonar Bradberry is the latest talent to feature in my record collection. In all honesty, I hadn’t really heard that much about the guy before I got hold of this little gem. However, one little search on Facebook and it turns out he’s connected to a bunch of my friends. It’s a small […]
Octo Octa – I Can Feel You (Dub Version)
After hearing the deep and lush sounds of Brooklyn-based Octo Octa’s Rough, Rugged and Raw late last year, I knew there would be more sublime electronic music to come. If you’re not familiar with LA-based label 100% Silk, you should definitely check them out. Their releases are varied in style and inspiration and when I […]
Scott Fraser – A Life of Silence (Bird Scarer Records)
My latest purchase comes in the form of Scott Fraser’s subtley brilliant ‘A Life of Silence’. This is the second addition to Andrew Weatherall’s vinyl only Bird Scarer imprint, and with only 300 copies pressed, I’m pretty made up to have bagged myself a copy. As Weatherall put it himself: “No digital downloads. If you […]
