Ship Canal - “The Housing Estate Sings”

6 Track CD-R
£3 CD-R/Pay What You Want digital

Available from Amoebic Industries 

"Famously, legendarily, working on a stolen and broken twenty-year old laptop with cracked software; Ship Canal make the most resolutely uncommercial music it is possible to. This has been proved by experts. Great sludgy slabs of soft-synth dirge layered with what sounds like deliberately badly-recorded drunken wails and yelps slathered over with cheap reverb like a Bisto gravy." - Woebot

Ship Canal-"Please Let Me Back Into Your House"
5 Track CD-R

£4.00 (Includes P&P)

Available now from 19F3

First full on real life physical release from Ship Canal courtesy of the hallowed 19F3 label - the beautiful cracked hiveminds responsible for Hacker Farms “Poundland”, amongst other assorted (essential) sub-underground hardwire fantasias.

Five tracks recorded using the most minimal of means. A cracked, illegally downloaded copy of Ableton, semi legal Youtube rippers, field recordings made on a budget MP3 player purchased from Argos four years ago and a stolen Singstar microphone.

This is dole noise.

Ex Servicemen-"Bourgeois Kerb Stomp"
8 track cassette split

SOLD OUT

Free download available from Herhalen

Bourgeois Kerb Stomp is a three-way split between members of Ex-Servicemen, Glasgow’s only industrial dub power trio. From gruelling fast food confessionals and air-burning amp abuse, to piano-led laments and pitiless digital dread, this hackneyed pageant of lack is a sprawling, tasteless slog through the long, lonely blank.

Feat.

compilations

V/A - "Under Bright Ghosts"
11 track cassette 

SOLD OUT

Free download available from Herhalen

"Contributors were asked to build whatever they wanted from ten pre-determined audio samples, ranging from pig slaughter and story-telling to factory noise and children’s music boxes. The resulting compilation is a brilliantly confusing mix of drugged minimal techno, melancholy tape collage, scalding industrial noise and hovering digital drones that sits just right come the wrong side of bed time.

Putting the brakes on the endless march to the technological horizon that occupies most modern laptop producers and honing in on the simple, lo-fi sounds of the everyday, the project was designed to try and sidestep the ceaseless same of a now dizzying release schedule assault"

V/A - "Noise In Opposition"
31 track digital compilation
Free download available from Noise In Opposition

  

"The first action from Noise In Opposition is a compilation of 24 artists from across the globe opposed to fascism, misogyny and prejudice. NiO Volume 1 totals nearly 3 hours of music across 31 tracks by people including Hacker Farm, Libbe Matz Gang, Elizabeth Veldon and The Implicit Order.

The Noise In Opposition project was originally inspired by Elizabeth Veldon’s statement that she would never make harsh noise again after receiving threats against her, and those close to her, for the crime of being a feminist in a male-dominated genre. This was the catalyst, but the problem is one that has been poisoning the noise and extreme electronics scenes for a long, long time: the tolerance of misogyny, fascism and prejudice – either as a genuine belief or a cheap, lazy aesthetic."

V/A - "WE SAW HUMAN GUINEA PIGS EXPLODE"
26 track digital compilation
£5.00
Available now from Cutwail Records

"This compilation is a benefit for London homeless support group The Simon Community. Minimum download price is £5, but please feel free to donate more if you can afford to. 

The Simon Community operates a totally non-judgemental policy when assisting homeless people, regardless of lifestyle. As well as conducting regular street work such as food distribution, they run a drop-in/advice centre (staffed by volunteers/former and current homeless people) and musical workshops in Camden.

Surprisingly, they remain quite low key compared to some of the other homeless support groups in the capital (such as St Mungo’s) although they’ve been active for 50+ years. They are entirely non-government-funded & operate as a real democratic community (ie, not just a director determining campaigns - homeless people have input too).

mixtapes 

Ugly Monotonous Childsplay: Ship Canal's 2014 Live Mixtape
 


A live mixtape recorded in the front room of my flat, 18/12/2014

"I tried to put together a 2014 "Best of" mix, but that didn't really cut it. I've had a far weirder year than that. So here is one of my "live mixtapes" in which I select music that in some way moved me over the last year, sometimes subjecting it to manipulation and FX , other times leaving the original material unadorned. Peppered throughout are snippets of recorded conversations, weird improvised jams that me and my mates had at gatherings that developed into full blown partys, readings from books and novels I've been into in 2014 and the gospel as preached by Work and Pensions Secretary.

All tracks are taken from 2014 releases or rereleases or things I was exposed to for the first time this year. It also includes some as yet unreleased music I was making in 2014 by my new project The Volk Han. We have a CD-R out next year on Hand Loom Lament.
This is what it sounded like inside my head in 2014. Knuckle up."
