F. Clark - No Darkness



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.
