Swifty & Paul Bradshaw @ Conch - May 16th - 18th

Written By 1 - May 01 2012

Date: MAY 16-18 Location: Conch Records,
115A Ponsonby Rd,
Ponsonby Rd UK designer Swifty will be blessing Conch Records front and back with his signature Typografik Art style. Come and relax, drink coffee and browse through some records as it unfolds.
 
Heralded as the “Godfather of the Sampling Generation”, Ian Swift (“Swifty“), has been an highly prolific figure in the London music and design scenes for over twenty years. Recognized early on by the likes of Erik Spiekermann and Neville Brody (of FACE magazine) as a rising star of typography, Swifty’s unique fonts and bold sampling techniques have extended the boundaries of modern graphic design, whilst his distinctive album sleeve and club flyer designs are responsible for pioneering the UK Acid Jazz movement’s signature style.
 

Paul Bradshaw is the man behind the iconic London magazine Straight No Chaser, as well as being a journalist and modern day UK music and culture consultant.

UPCOMING: Various Artists - Jahtarian Dubbers Vol. 3 (JAHTARI)

Written By 1 - April 29 2012

 Due out very soon, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

The tape heads of the Jahtari echo machines have been finetuned, the reverb modules are rewired, the bass implant is set to maximum blast and now the third episode of our ongoing series called "Jahtarian Dubbers" is ready to rock your walkman for a long time to come.

Mikey Murka went up to the dancehall again, John Frum is back with a hauntingly beautiful dub, Soom T is in top shape on one of his other riddims, Maffi team up with Ranking Levy from MyLord Sound while the Jahtari Riddim Force is on the loose, El Fata rinses Tapes' smashing "Gold Love Riddim", disrupt dug out a forgotten treasure from the vault and Rootah runs his tube delays into the red zone.

Wearing the black belt for beatmaking and new in the Jahtari camp is Monkey Marc (who supplied a wicked instrumental to the last Roots Manuva album). Our favourite sound system champions Mungo's Hifi are about to blow your speakers alongside veteran Jim Nastics, plus there's a very special Rootah version of a Dub Syndicate / Adrian Sherwood classic - with Lee Perry (!) on the mic, lazergun in hand, straightjacket and all. So better pack enough supplies for an interstellar trip - this one might take a while.

FILMS: Record Store Docos

Written By 1 - April 28 2012

Check out this post from MusicFilmWeb for a collection of documentaries about "indie stores, inveterate diggers, and obsessive collectors" "In just five years, International Record Store Day has grown from a shop owners’ cri de coeur that their business isn’t dying into a veritable holiday for music geeks and vinyl heads. Every third Saturday in April, hundreds of indie record shops around the world cut prices, offer exclusive releases, host gigs, and basically send the message (at maximum volume and/or beats per minute) that recorded music you hold in your hands and take home with you lives on in the Digital Age."
