Sounds Like
a weekly friday evening one-hour radio show, live on the FM airs!
Helter Skelter is one of the oldest and most respected "indie" radio show in Paris and has been broadcasting for over 20 years! Over the years, the show has grown with its time, emerging from its "punk rock" roots to a more complex mixture of avant garde, hip hop, dub, electronica, techno, rock, experimental, field recodings, sound poetry, jazz, disco, noise, folk, etc.
Musical guests have included Bernard Parmegiani, Nirvana, Larry Heard (Mr Fingers), Plastikman, François Tusques, Autechre, Ramuntcho Matta, Meat Beat Manifesto, Prefuse 73, Ghedalia Tazartes, Lo Recordings, Sutekh, Surgeon, Andrew Liles, Tes, Phoenicia, Sefyu, Coldcut, Donkishot, Jac Berrocal, Le Dust Sucker, !!! (chk chk chk) and hundreds other! Occasionnaly special guests outside the music world such as the prime french author Maurice Dantec have also been invited in thoughtful debates.
On the show, we try to have a provocative mixture of new & upcoming relevant music as well as "old" sounds in order to put into perspective our aim, breaking musical fences between genres by confronting each sound to its supposedly most opposite one (?) and maybe alientating us some listeners in the course
In the past few years, we've been quite low key in our communication, supporting the scene(s?) by purchasing, broadcasting and promoting the music AND records. This new year, we've decided after recieving so many questions and requests for our playlist to expand our communication to this little myspace thingy, so there it is!

Toshio Munehiro et Kouhei Matsunaga délivrent une musique electronique bruitiste et minimale, leurs compositions envoûtantes entre techno et ambiant ont attiré l'intérêt d'Alva-Noto qui viens de sortir leur album sur Raster-Noton.
Projet solo de Kouhei Matsunaga qui depuis quelques années a collaboré avec merzbow, john watermann, asmus tietchens, rudolf eb.er, anla courtis, greg davis, conrad schnitzler, lesser, sean booth (autechre), mika vainio, max turner, pm (puppetmastaz) and sensational (ex jungle brothers), NHKbs se focalise sur des breakbeats hip hop minimaux soutenus par d'énormes basses et de fines textures bruitistes.
Erreur aka Le Matin, adepte des sonorités synthétiques pures et reconnu ambassadeur du bugcore, nous régalera d'un live entre electro, techno, bug et speedcore dépouillé.
