Marcin Cichy from Skalpel and plug audio mastering had been running a project posting a break a day for the whole of 2011, to give loops for free to let producers sample and create with. As we’re on the last day of the year he has a very special treat for everyone – a downloadable track by Steinski, made from some of the breaks on the site.
All loops will be available to download in 2012 so go and check them out and grab your free Steinski track in the process.
Preparations over the Xmas period for the joint artwork show with Henry Flint at the Pure Evil Gallery on Jan 26th. Not much space amongst the art, records, frames and robots.
Thanks MK 
After a couple of recent requests, and due to the fact that the BosBos.net URL that used to host these mixes is dead, I’ve uploaded vol.5 of my Kraftwerk Kover Kollection series to Soundcloud. Vol.6 is already there and 1-4 will follow sometime in 2012.
Dave Hudgins‘ (fourth row down on the right) is emigrating and to commemorate the night he’s put together this ATCQ homage using the faces of all the DJs who have played, how many can you name?
New Demdike Stare release – ‘Elemental’ on Modern Love. The package is a quadruple sleeve with two gatefold sleeves glued into each other, designed by Andy Votel. The first two 12″s of four are included on orange and purple vinyl.
There’s a podcast based on the release too:

Lots of exciting things to come in 2012, stay tuned…
Stunning images from the Cassini Mission / NASA archives I found whilst researching the forthcoming Planetarium show.
Undoubtedly the don of the psychedelic era (alongside Rick Griffin – hard to choose between them) – Victor Moscoso.com
New compilation of tracks on Fat City from the out of print ‘Vintage Voltage’ mix by Andy Votel, one of my favourite mix CDs of recent years. If you like analogue electronics, moogs and vocoders then this is for you.
Via Bleeding Cool, roll on June 2012…

Been out all day, no doubt this is everywhere by now but, oh. my. god.
Absolutely love this cover, from the 70’s font to the kaleidoscoped imagery. Now-Again do it again, more beautifully packaged and immaculately researched music unearthed, this time from India. I don’t know anything about them but you can read, see and hear more HERE.

I’ve been sitting on this for a few weeks now, completely nuts video to ‘Night & Day’, the first release from Pepe Deluxé‘s new album ‘Queen of the Wave’. The album comes out on Jan 30th via Catskills Records and they will be having a release party at the London aquarium on Jan 23rd with films, an album playback and your truly spinning some sea-themed tunes. The band’s website has a nice 8 page download about the making and history behind the record too.
A couple of Hellboy images, again featured on Bad Librarianship. The top one is by Warwick Johnson Cadwell and the lower by Hellboy regular (although he’s just stepped down from that post) Duncan Fegredo. Looks like it could be connected to the forthcoming Hellboy in Hell book to be drawn by Mike Mignola himself.
