About me:

Every Sunday night at 10pm Martin and Tom bring you Sunshine Underground. From our secret underground lair in Stockport (OK it's PURE 107.8fm) we trawl the seven seas of music to bring you all kinds of musical treats. We play what we love and love what we play; be it alt indie, alt country, Americana, folk, anti-folk, psych-folk, post-hardcore, punk, post-punk and even grungegrass. With a brand new featured album every week (see our Myspace page for a list), cracking features like Last Exit to Brooklyn and the 'Champions League Song-off' there's all kinds of musical mayhem in every show. In the 'Tom Tom Club' I even let Tom pick a song every week. Could be anything from 30 year old Krautrock from Can to influential post-punk like The Dismemberment Plan, you never know... Turn on, tune in and pop to the shops for a packet of Quavers, then pop back, turn the radio up and enjoy. You have our personal guarantee that you won't be disappointed. COME ON IN, THE MUSIC'S LOVELY. Tune in on 107.8FM in the Stockport area or online at www.pureradio.org.uk Sunday nights 10-12am

Who I'd like to meet:

Fictional TV detective, Denton Island.

    Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

    Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

    Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

    Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.

    Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests.

    Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME

    Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod in approval.

    Svarte Greiner (Deaf Center/Miasmah/Type) explores deep into a dark, mysterious and disturbing universe. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Earth, Volcano the Bear, David Darling & Deathprod, the music is draped in Lynchian mysticism and horror film cinematics. "The music of Svarte Greiner is practically perfect. It's like that sound in our heads we've been imagining for ages but had never actually heard." - Type Records.

    The Sight Below (Rafael Anton Irisarri/Miasmah/Immune) draws as much on modern genre progenitors like Brian Eno, Robin Guthrie and My Bloody Valentine as it does from the more historic traditions in neo-classicism from Erik Satie and Olivier Messiaen. His album Glider has appeared on Thom Yorke's radar in making the Radiohead's lynchpin's top ten playlist.

    His debut album Navigare soon to feature on the Miasmah label, Simon Scott (former Slowdive) is set to be a household name in conceptual music. Simon is the former Slowdive drummer, co-producer of Televise, producer of Seavault, and owner of KESH Recordings label.

    Machinefabriek is amongst the finest experimental/electronic artists of today. His ultra-prolific back catalogue showcases his ability to perfect classical ambience, organic drone soundscapes, electronic minimalism and cathartic noise. He is hailed as one of the most interesting new experimental musicians by the Wire magazine.

    Xela is the shady, underworld atmospheres and improv horrors of John Twells, owner of Type Records. "Xela has always been able to pre-empt the shifting tides of electronic music and deliver a statement that's definitively of its time” (Boomkat).

    Alright chaps? Thanks for the add. PlainSounds on its own wasn't enough to fight the good fight so the label seemed logical. We've both The Suns and Beat Fiction in the studio right now so expect new singles soon. Play them, buy them, help us make our money back.

    It's where Luke and co get them from, it's really cheap. I didn't get that many done, just 100 badges and 250 stickers, but they're something to have just to give away. I'm going up to Guildford this weekend to do the EP, I'm doing th guide tracks myself at the moment and then we should be able to get all my bits done over the two days. It's also cheaper that way.
  • Sep 16 2008 12:02 PM

    It's great man (as Barry White would say)! I'll tune into the show tonight.
    Stickers and badges should be arriving this week so I'll send you a few :D

    Like fellow Liverpudlians Hot Club De Paris...with bouncy, choppy riffs and a very much danceable rhythm, synths swirl like a demented fairground ride while the boys perform fantastic, sing along harmonies.
    MAKE NOISE AND DANCE

    Elks

    Jerky post hardcore pop complete with rousing manic vocals.
    a bitn like Fugazi and Charlottefield FOOTBALL

    Rotary Ten

    Latest signings to Xtra Mile (home of Dartz!)
    "'If The Smiths had gone to college in the US this might have been their sound. Complex, melodic guitar entwines with an 'anthemic' chorus. Possible classic.
    ' The Observer

    Beat The Radar

    "catchy vocal melodies with precise backing vocals on top of angst guitar and clever drums create a package for success" SANDMAN MAGAZINE
