Nice to see what happened to my old tapes :-)
Ok ok, we’re a little late. But here it comes, the promised FREE download in the second week of “12 Weeks Of BOGOF” - Buy 1 Get 1 Free!

We made 250 individual Crap Stage tape-flyers for The Big Chill and passed them out. We wonder how many people think the music is actually ON the tape haha.. They will only find CRAPPY music though. And hopefully they will follow the link to our site :) Watch the sweaty stencil-making here.
The “Adult Swim” blog writes: “Building and operating a working stage on a flatbed truck, with lights, amps, projector and DJ booth takes a small army. (…) Pumping out a steady stream of dub, hip-hop, drum and bass, soul and mash-up party tunes as the sun retreats and the cold sets in, the Crap Stage’s purple and green flashing stage-lights lure the punters up the hill like a boombox child catcher waving lollipop glo-sticks. At 1am Harry K moves from the decks to the stage, cranks up the bass and kicks off a live set with fellow Urban Delights-man Malte Hagemeister. Suddenly the Crap Stage audience swells to a bopping, bobbing mass. By 3am it’s heaving with the lightly toasted, waving their neon rave toys and maintaining their groove with fuzzy, grinning abandon. It’s a dead nice situation.” (more)
There’s some really nice new photos that our friend Christian Spreitz took. (thanks again!)
ART INSPIRED BY MUSIC #2: In this weeks art spotlight we have Chin Keeler and Emma Tornero with their project Lardart: “two artists working together collaboratively, exploring the process in different ways. They trade ideas and thoughts to break through to a common goal, suspending their individual artistic vision and preconceived ideas of outcome in an animated dialogue of polar styles. Both work on the same piece at the same time, intuitively sourcing imagery or deliberating on a concept or theme, negotiating spontaneity and intent, fusing Chin’s immediacy of style with Emma’s naturalistic precision (more)”.
We love their interpretation of one of our forthcoming album tracks, “hit the breaks”, watch the art work and listen here. They also designed this year’s Crap Stage, which is why we have chosen them for this week.
We’ll be back soon with more fun,
HK & MH
