Back in 2001, Terry Tester, Buscrates and Ian Wallace sat in a van in Pittsburgh, PA bugging out over Pete Rock instrumentals. Since then, Buscrates (Bastard Jazz / Razor-N-Tape) has made a name for himself as a top shelf boogie craftsman and avid synth head, while Brooklyn’s Ian Wallace boasts a seemingly never-ending run of raw, soulful remixes with partners OP! And Nick Bike.
Exotic noise and uneasy ambience German Army is a two-piece from the San Gabriel Valley and one of the loudest voices in the underground tape scene. Raised on Sydney Possuelo and Paulo Freore, their catalogue seeks to critique U.S imperialism and nationalism while bringing attention to endangered culture and ecology around the globe.
‘MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning’ shows how Dom Maker and Kai Campos have grown over the past decade and demonstrates the two sides of Mount Kimbie’s aesthetic coin - each side produced entirely by either member. Dom’s side, ‘Die Cuts’, is colourful and melody-led, thriving on the spark of collaboration; Kai’s, ‘City Planning’, is tactile and unpredictable, the product of a deeply personal aesthetic voyage. The two sides complement each other through their contrasts. But in other ways they’re not so different. Both artists present a unique vision which stands apart from their peers; neither side could have been made by anyone but Mount Kimbie.

TicketsGlasgow-based synth store Signal Sounds is bringing a selection of Eurorack modular synths, boutique desktop instruments and recording equipment to East London for a two-day showcase of the finest electronic music tech at Next Door Records Two. In the absence of any brick-and-mortar shops in London dedicated to modular synths, this is a rare opportunity to come and try out the latest tools in the flesh and get some expert advice first-hand in our pop-up showroom. We'll also have a few vintage gems on show from our collection! On the Saturday evening, the Signal Sounds crew - Jason, Aleks, Tom (and no doubt a few special guests) - will take over the turntables upstairs at Next Door Records Two. With several decades' worth of DJ, production and record label experience between us, we'll be digging in our crates for some deep electronic sounds. It's free to come along, but we're ticketing it to make sure everyone gets a good opportunity to check out the gear and pick our brains properly. We have loads of regular mail-order customers from the London area, so it’s a great chance to put some faces to the names - and if you're new to the store, come along and find out what it's all about. Hope to see you there!
TicketsAlice Costelloe is breaking free on her upcoming EP 'When It's The Time'. The first release under her full name (previously operating under the Al Costelloe abbreviation) and her first having signed to much-heralded indie label Moshi Moshi Records. New EP 'When It's The Time' is out 25th October via Moshi Moshi Records and new single and EP title track "When It's The Time" is released today. Alice showcases new music from the EP tonight (10th September) at Next Door Records in Stoke Newington, London. Sonically, new EP 'When It's The Time' presents a captivating progression - introducing elements of art-pop (in no small part due to the EP's producer Mike Lindsay's "treasure chest of synths") to her optimistic, soothing indie-pop. Thematically, the EP poses questions about mortality, and "how to make yourself a better life in a world that often feels apocalyptic" - in Costelloe's own words.
