Sticky Tapes celebrate their 1st anniversary with a new Charity release

 



London based Sticky Tapes is one of those brilliant labels conceived last year, with a goal to deliver a good quality of cassette tapes (digitals as well) in the aid of various charities. This is something that has to be spread all around, as it's made for a great cause.

They've already released 5 tapes with the likes of Violet/ELLES, Groovy D b2b Interplanetary Criminal, CC DISCO! x BARBARA BOEING, Asquith/TaƱ and Om Unit and this month they celebrate their 1st anniversary with a big compilation album of 11 tracks with the likes of Jossy Mitsu, Stones Taro, ELLES, Black Cadmium, Cyphon, Maya Q, LUXE, Caitlin Medcalf, Macaulay Sulkin, Skin Teeth and their main man Theo Everyday.

"Echoing classic dance music compilations from the likes of Ministry Of Sound and Cream, we called upon London based selector and Balamii resident, Amaliah, to mix the tracks and breathe new energy into the compilation as a whole. This mix exclusively features on the cassette that will be available to buy on June 4th."

This release is an absolutely class melting pot of styles from Garage, House, Breaks and Electronica and all proceeds go directly to the Samaritans. The team behind Samaritans provide an emotional support to anyone in distress, struggling to cope or being at risk of suicide throughout UK and Ireland. Apparently, their effort and hard work is more than essential during these hard times we're living.


Show your support now for this great charity and cause and show love to the Sticky Tapes to keep up what they've been doing.

The new Kurly Kutz release is simply hard as nails




A new release by the outstanding Kurly Kutz imprint of Khyzer Zuke is out now. This time the main man behind the label calls us all to a massive early Hardcore cuddle puddle and stars align for a complete mayhem.
'Hard as Nails' EP is comprised of six extravaganza bangers and it's fully inspired by the Dutch angle of Hardcore Techno, specifically Gabber and Early Hardcore of mid-90s or so.
Khyzer Zuke seems to be the man for every mission. For example, take a gander on 'That Piano Track', a 4/4 perfection of pianos, kicks and breakbeats. A proper happy hardcore tune that exhales anthemism and seems to be our highlight and big recommendation for the happy yet heavyweight crew around the globe.
Grab it now till it's hot!

Book recommendation:: ‘The Beatles - Acting Naturally (Obscure, Rare, Unfinished and Abandoned Film and TV Projects Of The Fab Four)’

 



"It’s been a labour of love during my downtime, with loads of research and I think I’ve managed to unearth a lot of rare, obscure, and abandoned and rejected projects that will amaze and surprise you, as well as new information on the well-known films."


The multi-award music producer,dj and film maker, Rory Hoy from UK, has just announced his brand new book following his consecutive books about the great Big Beat movement. This time he tries to delve into a different angle of the story of The Beatles bringing light to those more obscure and abandoned projects that some of us are unaware of.


Official description:

Here is a different take of The Beatles story, which includes the more obscure, rare and unseen appearances and references worldwide, through the wonderful art of film, television and video; some of which will make you gasp in disbelief! It's full of unfinished projects and little known facts: did you know that The Quarrymen (the proto-Beatles) apparently appeared in a Liverpool City Police Recruitment Film in 1958, or that The Beatles had a film release before A Hard Day's Night that only came out in Australia? 

Also featuring the many projects The Beatles turned down, such as 'The Yellow Teddy Bears' AKA 'The Gutter Girls' and the weird and wonderful shelved projects such as Joe Orton's 'Up Against It' and McCartney's sci-fi movies of the 1970s. McCartney did however make experimental films, George did sing with Carole King on a novelty record, Ringo did duet with Carrie Fisher, and John and his wife Yoko did make Did Britain Murder Hanratty? It all goes to show that The Beatles were never idle during their time together and as solo artists. In this book, we will look at the history of the lesser-known films and TV shows that are associated with The Beatles, as well as their well-known canonical movies, such as the fictionalised documentary of A Hard Days Night, to the animated masterpiece of Yellow Submarine; to documentaries about them, biopics, parodies, and other projects that involved the Fab Four in some capacity. The Beatles didn't just revolutionise pop music, they revolutionised pop culture as a whole!




 ‘The Beatles - Acting Naturally (Obscure, Rare, Unfinished and Abandoned Film and TV Projects Of The Fab Four)’ will be out on 2nd August via New Haven Publishing and it's already available to pre-order now via Amazon and Waterstones on the links below.

There are 16 tracks inside, that pay homage and do justice to what's happening nowdays in regards with Hardcore Breaks and Nu-Rave inspired by a strict lockdown that caused maybe the right arousement to evoke the feeling of freedom.
