The music on today\u2019s show comes to us by our guest DJ, Marie Craven<\/a>, know to many as Pixieguts<\/a>. Pixieguts is a member of the bands Cwtch<\/a> and PIXSID<\/a>. She is also the founder of the Palace Network<\/a> and co-produces the Pixicast with Dave Almgren, also know as Voide<\/a>. Pixicast is a show that focuses entirely on music that comes from indie and net labels.<\/p>\n

Pixieguts was also kind enough to provide the show notes for today\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

GreenGender<\/a>\u2018s track, \u201cRecondite Loss\u201d is full of delicate emotion, irony, political comment and simply good to hear.<\/p>\n

Dementio13<\/a> has been making electronic music since the 1980s and \u201cDisappeared (The Ballad Of Milton Friedman)\u201d is from his 2009 EP release, The Ballad of Milton Friedman<\/i>. The range of Dementio13\u2019s music mixes up and travels around various genres like post-rock, ambient, drum and bass, trip-hop, idm and alternative.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve chosen Humeka<\/a>\u2018s \u201cThe Sound\u201d because I just particularly love this one. It\u2019s from the Discuss<\/a><\/i> album which is available for free download from many sites like Internet Archive<\/a> and Jamendo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HipGnosis<\/a>\u2018 \u201cUnderground Looms\u201d is a deep instrumental, abstract, experimental, glitch-hop track and also has occult influences in his music including the conscious deployment of binaural sounds.<\/p>\n

Ugress<\/a> ( which means \u201cweed\u201d in Norwegian) is in Bergen, Norway and is sensationally eclectic and prolific electronic artist who has a number of side projects in various styles and genres as well as the main Ugress act. There\u2019s a strong popular culture influence in his music and a fair bit of quotational genre references in it.<\/p>\n

Crimson Death<\/a> is a music project that Pixieguts frequently collaborates with. Crimson Death often has a death metal and goth influence in his music and he performs live as a black metal\/drum and bass DJ (maybe the only artist doing this particular combo).<\/p>\n

Gurdonark<\/a> is Robert Nunnally and hails from Texas. Robert mixes experimental, ambient and minimal music and is a Creative Commons champion and all his music is available for free.<\/p>\n

Reconsiderate<\/a> is a really unusual rapper from Wisconsin. His lyrics tend to reflect a kind of 21st white guy angst expressed with a great deal of unique wit and verve and his music has a raw experimental edge unusual melodic qualities.<\/p>\n

SK123<\/a>\u2018s \u201cAnkylosing Spondylitis\u201d is a track from the 2008 album, Skizm<\/i>, and is one I play over and over. I love it and so much more of SK123\u2019s music. SK123 plays exquisite and energetic minimal music, a kind of music you\u2019d call minimal techno if that genre term hadn\u2019t come to be so associated so strongly with club dance music (which is often not all that minimal really).<\/p>\n

The Incognito Traveller<\/a> is an incognito artist who is listed on the label page as \u2018unidentified.\u2019 \u201cMarguerite\u201d is currently the top track in the large \u2018Pixies Palace<\/a>\u2018 group tag radio at Last.fm<\/a> (for which over 5000 artist, albums and tracks have been tagged to date).<\/p>\n
