#32: RUNAWAY DJ Mix
Get a load of the new RUNAWAY (Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral) DJ mix, recorded live with two Technics 1200s and the Boss Space Echo. It doesn't get more real than this and if it does, it's probably faking it.
Sydney Post Punk Band #5: SPK
There are many theories behind what the intentionally ambiguous acronym SPK stands for all of which have been further confused by suggestive album covers and little confirmation from the band's members. The most dominate theory remains, however, that co founders Graeme Revell and Neil Hill met while they were both working in a psychiatric hospital and became inspired reading the manifesto of a German radical Marxist group called Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv.
Delphic Remix Contest
Delphic are hosting a remix contest for their song "Doubt" in the form on an online scavenger hunt, with the stems being scattered across a bunch of sites.
