NOMAD037: Hardcore Motherfucker

PunkChrist gets out his nastiest records for a breakcore, gabba, metal, god-knows-what hour of hurty. It’s good hurty. Good hurty pain. It’s not one to put on when you’re going to bed though. It’s more like one you put on when you’re killing people…But you can listen to it when you’re doing other stuff too.

NOMAD036: DJ Xander’s Cold Blooded Cuts

LIZARDS! Manchester’s legendary DJ Xander delivers a mix that has nothing to do with lizards, as far as I can tell, apart from it’s name, loosely referencing those animals of an ectothermic persuasion. It’s pretty much reggae, which sounds quite warm actually. I don’t know where I’m going with this one. Have a listen anyway. It’s an absolute belter!

NOMAD035: Blood Moon – Live@NoRave

Improvised Noise / Sound Art mentalists Blood Moon take to the stage at NoRave. I think this is the first live set by a proper band on Nomad. A “proper band” as in “with guitars and drums”, not just wigging out behind a laptop, frantically tapping the mouse button. Jolly good. It sounds like Frank Zappa with drug induced psychosis. Who wouldn’t want to hear that? Fucking Brilliant!

Blood Moon are the sporty little twosome of Graham and Lou. Graham also makes nasty dubstep and eletronics, while Lou is a photography and fine art graduate with a penchant for avant-garde knitting. She can knit you a new set of internal organs, you know.

MOF007: Dan Nation – Live at MOF 14/5/09

For those of you lucky enough to have been at Mind On Fire’s Futuresonic aftershow party in May with Onra and Martyn, there is a good chance you may have stumbled across Dan playing a mammoth DJ set in the back room of Mint Lounge. If not now is your chance to catch the first half of it in all its 128kbps glory. Starting with a jazzy Amon Tobin track before cruising through all manner of beats, breaks and blips on its way to a junglist ending this one is crying out to be downloaded.

NOMAD034: enn.eye.cee – Sub Version

If you’re a complete geek like myself, you will know that SubVersion is a piece of software widely used for source code version control. I use it on this site. It’s GREAT! However, given the fact that probably hasn’t given you an erection, you should also know that it’s the name of EnnEyeCee’s fourth pounding drum and bass mix in a row. Huuuuuzzzzzzaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!! Good sir: Turn your speakers up until they make a buzzing noise, sellotape them to your head and press play.

NOMAD033: enn.eye.cee – Anal Trauma

I don’t think we’ve ever had a mix with a title this wrong before…. When you listen to it though, you’ll probably see why the name’s ever so slightly appropriate. Maybe. Very. Nasty. Drum and Bass. Enjoy. Don’t sit on anything sharp now.

NOMAD032: enn.eye.cee – Fuck Step ‘08

In the 2nd part of our “Six Part Drum and Bass Frenzy”, enn-eye-cee gives us a mix with an infusion of Breakcore. It’s propper Pants On Head Mental it is. Do not be put off by the average level of banging-ness at the start: it gets much heavier than that. You know, that kind of heavy that feels like you’re rolling around on the floor trying to gnaw the bark off a tree under strobe lights. That kind of mental. Ah.

Check again next Wednesday for part three!

NOMAD031: enn.eye.cee – Tactical Missiles

Enn.eye.cee pounds out the extreme nastyness in the first of our six part Drum and Bass frenzy (drum and bass hexagon?). It’s really very diry indeed. I did the washing up to this last night and got through the lot in about 5 minutes. Water and spoons everywhere. Belter. (or should that be “Rinsing”. aah. ahaaaa. ah. er..) Anyway. Enn.eye.cee was the first ever DJ to appear on Nomad. He’s a fucking genius. He lives in Glasgow now and has more vinyl than you. Huzar!

NOMAD030: Pablo Diccie

We blogged about Pablo Diccie a while ago, citing their boyish charms and love for post-rock. Somehow they found out about this and gifted us with this podcast. Excellent. They play some of their influences and some of their own tunes, which are far better than their influences I reckon! Check them out like. Jolly good.

MOF006: A Handful of Diced Carrots

Now the, now then, come and get your ears around this and get treated to a handful of diced carrots by the Dj alter ego of The Loose Scalps, Dj Scalp. This is predominantly a Dub and Reggae mix, covering alot of the roots sounds of the 70s, but prepare yourself for some nice surprises as it is punctuated by brief hints of Jazz, Pop and the legendary Fur Q.
