minima•darc … Sparse arrangements, stripped down and slowly creeping, soulful…but on the verge of breaking down. A more modern Trip Hop session. Or how I imagine it would sound like. It’s not the sound but the feeling that remains…

Next Session: A Dirty-fied Holiday/Christmas sound
(Have not made up my mind yet what the end of the year/beginning of the year session will be)

Chilled and beatless, maybe just a little. Sometimes I enjoy the Quiet. Could have added a bit more spoken word in there but I just left it with more air. Chillaxating while wearing flippy floppies.

As a bonus, here’s my favorite song from all the previous 50 show.. last 2-3 years of dirtyradio… Soap&Skin is the experimental musical project of Austrian artist Anja Plaschg, the song is called The Sun, one of the most inspiring song for me I’ve heard since Dirty Epic of Undeworld and Anna by John Martyn a track that was actually never officially released… but should be coming out on John Martyn upcoming homage album, Small Hour (a variation of Anna) is covered by Robert Smith of The Cure and raised my toes while listening to the early cuts.

John Martyn – Anna

dokta – playing the nurse #50, notes…

I never really introduced to talked about the show all that much… but i feel like sharing a bit more info, the show started a few years ago, it didn’t have a name or any structure, I would usually hijack the dirtyradio stream and randomly play stuff for friend that where online listening, often playing lots of underworld or whatever promo I had got my hands on, 99% drunk and passing out on air leaving stuff playing on random for hours until somebody would kick me out of the stream. I did that quite a lot… I’m lucky no one ever kicked me out by my behavior. A few years went by then dirty radio changed hands and was in limbo for a while until Mike Bower took things over and did an amazing job of organizing everything like a boot-camp, we suffered a lot of pain to work with schedule and upgrade our microphone but here we are now still drunk on the air but we are on time sometime and our mic monk are getting better.

As for me I do the show for myself, usually it’s my favorite track I’ve stumbled about in the last week or 2 and I try to make a show out of it… so it’s usually all over the place and doesn’t always flow well while reflecting my state of mind… I am often asked why the nurse bit…it’s just self medicating with music.

All the best keep smiling and listening. For you, for me.

Love, death, and the changing of the seasons. Nothing in this world remains static, and episode nine of Iconastasia is the soundtrack to it: a story of a fading love, a mix of classics from ambient and electronica interspersed with some up-and-coming jazz, indie and dreampop.

She said “power before passion.” Iconastasia gets down and seriously dirty with the electronic tunes, this episode: think filthy basslines and urgent beats, lashings of guitar, spoken-word sourced from Karl Hyde and John Warwicker’s typographic journal, Mmm… Skyscraper I Love You, and more. Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and let the darkness take you in.

Iconastasia, Episode #2: ‘small, perfect thing’.

Through the darkness, it’s the sound of your name on my lips that carries me through the night. A laidback mixture of ambient electronics, trip-hop, indie-pop and spoken-word interludes for the quieter, better moments in life. A hand in yours, in the darkness. A kiss on a doorstep in the pouring rain. Drifting off to sleep with your name, echoing in my mind.

We were very lucky to make it onto air this week – I’ve been battling a malfunctioning laptop all week and it completely died on me exactly fifty minutes before we were due to go on air. Cheers, Lachlan, for your assistance! Apologies, again, for the recording-quality – I had to record this in a friend’s car, using my laptop’s mic. I’m working on getting this resolved!
