Bonkers Music of the Week

This week I want to tell you about another fantastic website I like very much. It's a website founded by a collective of musicians and music lovers, much of it coming from dance music but of the very underground variety. It's run by Ill FM, which is an internet radio station that you can also listen to at this address. I first heard of Ill FM through Pitchless, a sound system that played a fair bit in London at various underground events. They always interested me because their ethos seemed to be more to play what was odd, interesting and often downright bonkers rather than to stick to a genre or pure concentration on floor filling. A sort of avante garde rave soundsystem, I always thought. As you can imagine Ill Fm has aired many weird and wonderful sets over the years and, once again, they're all available for download here at zero cost. I'll be coming back to this favourite of mine in later posts.

There is one particular bonkers set that I've been listening to of late. It's a Terra Audio set and can be found by searching the archives sections for this: PITCHRAD #13 - TERRAAUDIO - REVERSE23
I'm not entirely sure how to describe this. It's a strange mixture of international music, noise and general ambient chaos. It's a bit like an experimental speedcore act doing a chill out room.
Anyway, here's a quotation from the artist introducing the set:
"Following the course of an underground river as it veers through the stars contained in the DNA of each cell of our bodies, the invisible night life and sensory apparatus of an otter's dreams merge off the sett in hologramophonic delight. From Shaolin to Drexciya we're planning our escapes. The process begins with an initial breath..."
So that rather interesting description should give you a taste of the esoteric nature of this mix.

I hope you enjoy this website as much as I do.
