Fergus
Clark, one of the most thrillingly unpredictable selectors in Glasgow, just
dropped this reggae-heavy monster for 7 Awkward Inches and we couldn’t be more
chuffed.
The tracklist speaks for itself. The
biggest curveball here (Ghost’s massive lip-twitcher aside) is probably the
total lack of curveballs - just straight Jamaican bangers, end to end. Exactly how we like it.
If you’re in
Glasgow and want to catch the man at work, head down to So Weit So Gut (Nice ‘N’
Sleazy) for a night of under-the-radar leftfield killers. Keep an eye out for the Void nights around
town as well – more of a 4/4 affair, but guaranteed to hand you your ass.
You can also
tune in to 12th Isle Transmissions on Subcity Radio – nothing but scorching
free jazz, psychedelic synth mangling, PCP-induced Christian biker rock and
songs about plants.
Finally, No Repress is the place to be if you want to read the guy’s mind. Holding forth on everything from Elaine
Radigue to Antinote, his articles are more of a mandatory shopping list than
anything else.
But for now,
it’s nothing but the 7”s. As ever, there’s
a full visual tracklist for all the records used.
Crank it.
