The City Rises #103

martin l — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 01:14:19 +0000

All hands on deck this week at the new time slot of Sunday nights, 8-10PM EST on Triple R Melbourne for the month of December. Nice.

Aside from the usual quality jams, Rambl got the chance to talk production, Timbaland and astral travelling with LA producer Mono/Poly. Charles first piqued our interest a few years back with his work on the Jay Scarlett/Circulations New Worlds compilation. He’s put out a few EP’s and LP’s (Oil Fields on Fat City featuring heavily on TCR), over the years and earlier in 2011 dropped his Manifestations EP on Brainfeeder. Early in 2012 we’ll be lucky enough to have Mono/Poly down in Australia for his first tour down under. Check!

The City Rises crew were fortunate enough to play at the This Thing 001 launch party on Friday night and whilst Dan Dare and Rambl helped with proceedings Martin L rolled out 2 hours of the good stuff for the airwaves.

Aside from some great new material from the likes of Samiyam, Sam a la Bamalot, Floating Points, Vakula and Rick Wilhite I featured a couple of tunes from Melbourne’s Mikekay and Wooshie. These guys are no strangers to the show, both having played live for us recently. These tunes are from the first release from the This Thing collective and it’s truly quite incredible (and free). Whilst your at it check out Wooshie’s video clip for “Signs of Age“. Check!
