It’s finally out, today sees the official release of the Telepathic Fish album that I co-compiled with original housemates Mario Aguera and David Vallade to showcase tracks that we regularly played at the ambient parties we held with Chantal Passamonte back in the early 90s. Released on Doug Shipton‘s Fundamental Frequencies label, the double album comes with a 20pg booklet in a spot-varnished gatefold sleeve and early bird pre-orders got a bundle with a new Mindfood fanzine, mystery mixtape and enamel badge. It’s time for it to swim off into the ether and of course, today is Bandcamp Friday so you know what to do…

Currently Moonbuilding mag’s album of the week and Bleep‘s album of the month (more of that soon), there are articles out in Crack magazine, Electronic Sound and The Guardian with more to come. Also check out my longform interviews with Tales From A Disappearing City podcast with Controlled Weirdness and the Do!!You!!! Breakfast show with Charlie Bones.

Of course I’m going to big it up on my monthly recommends but there’s also tons of goodness out this month too including the new Group Modular 7″ which is so good I had to play it twice last Sunday. Consisting of two cuts previously available on very limited releases, it’s a more ambient release than before. Tom Jenkinson‘s first release under the alias Stereotype gets a repress from Warp as does DJ Format‘s in a new 7″ edit from Delic Records. For the sample-heads there’s a new Wagon Christ album coming from De:tuned and Yo Cisco Kidd‘s ‘Smoke Signal’ mines a Madlib-like vein on Cheeba Cheeba Records. For the chilled side there’s a Radx 12″ out at the end of the month on 12th Isle and an oldie but new discovery for me, Joshua Abrams‘ ‘Magnetoception’, he of Natural Information Society. JG Thirlwell releases the third of his Venture Brothers soundtrack collections – check the CD for loads more tracks – and Funki Porcini appears out of nowhere with another fully formed album. Also note the new Drumetrics release of four 5″ records in an etched box – for some reason Buy Music Club wouldn’t recognise the URL so I’ve added it here.
