LJ Kruzer’s Christmas Carols

Posted on December 15, 2009 by u|a|bot001

Over the last few years, LJ Kruzer has gained a reputation for his electronic Christmas carol services in London. Sadly there’s no service this year due to LJ’s family commitments but you can still throw your own! Although the limited edition CD sold out within weeks of its release back in 2006, you can still get hold of these instrumental Christmas wonders digitally. Hear them in full below and download in just about whatever format you like.

The Council Flats of Kingsbury – new release!

Posted on October 28, 2009 by u|a|bot001

Here’s a record we’ve been waiting a long time to announce: the first album-length selection from The Council Flats of Kingsbury. And boy was it worth the wait!

The Council Flats of Kingsbury

Radio support from the likes of Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1), Don Letts (BBC 6music), John Kennedy (XFM London), Another Nice Mess (Holland), WFMU (New York), Chill FM and many more means there are likeminds out there who agree with us – which is always nice.

There’s a 12″ vinyl version limited to 250 hand-numbered copies and a digital version too. Order the vinyl from us directly and get the digital version for free (so no worries regarding postal strikes). Alternatively it will start appearing in all good record shops over the next week or two, and we’re sure they’d appreciate your support as much as we do.

Stream the whole album for free and place your order.

Review love:

“Compact and captivating. Don’t miss this if you’re into folktronica, hauntology, Ghost Box, Moon Wiring Club etc”.
(Undomondo)

“…comes across like Broadcast dipping their vintage equipment into the world of tropicalia. The album is strewn with beautiful, upbeat tracks, and you’d never really think of this as an in any way sinister or unsettling record were it not for the recurrent echo-deck edits that stealthily propel these easy-listening ditties into a state of instability that occasionally borders on madness”.
(Boomkat)

“It’s warm and inviting.. both simple and honest, yet intriguing and multi-faceted… like a favourite uncle in a scary costume that’s a touch too realistic. I love it”.
(Waxfactor)

“Sumptuously crafted and designed through a retro viewfinder… an utterly rewarding gem”.
(The Sunday Experience)

Free stuff galore

Posted on May 17, 2009 by u|a|bot001

Uncharted Audio are proud to present you with a whole bunch of new FREE STUFF to promote its current and upcoming releases.

All the mp3 downloads are totally free if you want the 128’s. If you want a heftier format, you have the option of paying money (you decide how much) or entering a zero amount and giving us your email address instead.

So what have we got for you?

The Council Flats of Kingsbury - "Sunflowers" cover art

Part 0 of ‘Sunflowers‘, a frankly uncategorisable 5 part series brought to you by The Council Flats of Kingsbury. Your best bet is to get in a darkened room and turn it up loud. Part 1 to follow next week, with each ensuing part in the weeks after, all leading up to the release of the super limited debut LP next month.

Go get it!

Next up, the long awaited return of LJ Kruzer….

LJ Kruzer - "Tam Variations" cover art

“LJ Kruzer and Uncharted Audio present the Tam Variations, eight engaging experimental versions of Tam, a piece which features on Kruzer’s forthcoming album “Manhood & Electronics“. Each variation is the end result of methodical sequences of sound processing exploring all the possibilities of computer manipulation of digitised sound data – stretching, squashing, restretching and resquashing giving the concertina’d timbres of Tamz; filtering, distorting and reverberating backwards and forwards to create the rough textures of Tamx and Tamxr; modulating brown noise with the source audio to give Tamb; and simple stretching and reverberating resulting in the billowy melancholy of the collection’s opener Tam814. Manhood & Electronics is set for release as a CD and download on Uncharted Audio on June 29th 2009.”
Go get it!

Finally you can download two new exclusive Line tracks. One is a cover and the other is a remix by the incredibly talented up-and-coming techno producer Cyan341. The album ‘Hearts’ is available now on CD, LP or download.

Who loves ya?

5KG event and mix, new tracks and a film…

Posted on May 5, 2009 by u|a|bot001

Plenty to update you all on, so here goes without further ado…

5KG – 5 Years of Kone-R @ Ginglik

TECHLIKS Koner 5th Anniversary Special flyer

This week marks five years of Kone-R and Uncharted Audio’s hook up with West London’s finest beat bunker, Ginglik. To celebrate we have a special event there this Saturday and Kone-R has put together a free mix for you all to download. Here’s the word from the man himself:

“Strange to think it’s been five whole years since I first took to the Ginglik turntables, but then it’s crazier still to think it’s been more than seventeen years since I first attempted to blend a pair of records… all I can say is it’s been an absolute pleasure! On the 9th of May I’m going to mark those five years of residency with an extended set covering all my usual bases across the night, from electro to techno to old skool breakbeats – plenty of bass, bleeps and vibes, from cutting edge newies to  stone cold classics, I’ll also be using serato to complement my vinyl selections in public for the first time – all the better to increase the mayhem.

To all those people down the years who came, saw, danced, cheered, or just sat and listened… THANK YOU
To all the other DJ’s, live acts, VJ’s, breakdancers and other folk who I’ve shared a Ginglik bill with down the years… THANK YOU
To all those who protested against the closure of this wonderful and unique venue… THANK YOU
To all the Ginglik staff down the years who have given their hospitality… THANK YOU
To Colin and Tammi, for giving me the opportunity and generally being two of the most wonderful people in the business… THANK YOU!

Here’s to the next five… long live Ginglik :O)”

Kone-R presents 5KG mix available here for free download.

The big event takes place this Saturday at Ginglik, 1 Shepherds Bush Green, London W12 8PH. Expect a three hour mix from Kone-R, plus a special live appearance from good friend Cursor Miner, and support from Jash and Nedry. Live 360 degree visual installation by Surrealartist…. details here:

Brand new Line tracks available for FREE

Download two new exclusive Line tracks.

They are totally free if you want the 128’s. If you want a heftier format, you have the option of paying money but if you want them for free (by entering zero dollars) you have to hand over your email address. I don’t think we can say fairer than that.

‘Lenx’ from the album will be available as a digital single soon, and of course the album is available now on CD, LP or download.

‘Horrorlab’

The Council Flats of Kingsbury presents a short film entitled ‘Horrorlab’…
