Hear March's Days And Nights At The Takeaway single
Published 26 March 2012 by BWL


The new single in Sebastian Rochford's singles club, Days And Nights At The Takeaway, is released this Friday but you can hear it now using the player below or via Sonic Router's premiere. This month's instalment sees Rochford collaborate with shadowy dubstep types LV (who also remixed the first release in the series). Like all the other tracks in the series, 'Sugah Sweet' was recorded in Seb's studio in a former takeaway in London. The remix this time is by the multi-talented Micachu, under her M.A.T.H.E.S. moniker.

We are now a quarter of the way through the project with Leo Abrahams, Ranjana Ghatak, Gina Loring and Pete Wareham all making appearances as collaborators - don't forget you can hear and purchase any of the previous tracks via Bandcamp and, of course, all your usual digital shops.

New Matthew Bourne shop, jazz award, plus Amon Tobin box set
Published 28 March 2012 by RM


Matthew Bourne's shiny new shop is now up and running on his website. The shop includes much of Matthew's back catalogue including collaborations and side projects.

Alongside this you will have the opportunity to purchase exclusive, previously unreleased digital tracks from his own private archive, of which the first is available now in glorious 320kbps sound.

Last week Matthew was awarded album of the year at the Yorkshire Jazz Awards. Matt is currently on a six week residency in China (you can follow the adventure on his blog), so he recorded this acceptance video from there.

Bourne also features, alongside Polar Bear's Pete Wareham, on a limited edition Amon Tobin box set including remixes, covers and re-interpretations of 2011's ISAM album. The beautifully packaged set, which includes 10" vinyl, CDs and DVDs, is released on Record Store Day. For more information and to pre-order visit the Ninja Tune website.

Two completely new versions of Amon Tobin tracks, constructed by Matthew and producer Sam Hobbs, are included in the release.
