Richard Fearless presents Metal Box, broadcast from his shipping container studio situated on the peninsula of land between the River Thames and the River Lea in London’s East End. Fearless’ career as a DJ, founder of cult band Death in Vegas, and head of the independent label Drone have cemented Fearless’ reputation as a diverse maker and renowned digger. Expect a deep love of underground electronic music, with Fearless in the mix and the odd guest stopping by. On tonight’s Metal Box we have something different, an exclusive two hour live hardware recording of ‘Multiples’. Multiples are a duo consisting of two masters of the craft, Rotterdam’s techno hero, Speedy J and no other than Birmingham’s finest, Surgeon, recorded live at Fabrik in Madrid. Their new album Two Hours Or Something is out now on STOOR records.

Muscle Beach is the unmediated congregation of Neil, Maisy, Jane & Bennett – an LA 4-piece with a 9th ear, dedicated to the splendor of the human soul.

David J is a British alternative rock musician, producer, and writer. He is the bassist for the gothic rock band Bauhaus and for Love and Rockets. With his new release Tracks From the Attic, David J invites listeners on a most fascinating journey: we’re looking through boxes of tapes, getting reacquainted with an artist we’ve known for a long time – yet, the intimate songs he recorded in solitude over three decades reveal new sides to him. Dubbed An Evening With David J, the tour begins on the album’s release day, Friday May 3.

John Hardin takes the ancient aboriginal instrument known as “didgeridoo” to new places via digital technology. His music transports the listener with ethereal otherworldly soundscapes, organic rhythms and primal dance grooves.

H31R blends electronica and hip hop together creating an enigmatic but complementary sonic experience that pushes the fickle boundaries of genre. JWords and maassai both grew up listening to a variety of genres and later using the sounds of their youth to expand on the potential and style of their own music. It wasn’t until the two met while playing a show together in 2017 where they’d quickly become friends. JWords and maassai would come to know each other’s respective styles in production and rhyme while developing on their own projects and later build on a mutual desire to bridge the gap between hip hop and electronic music. They’d start with one-off tracks like “My Name Jack?” which would appear on maassai’s debut EP ‘C0n$truct!0n’. This ad-lib process continued with the heavy-hitting “Toxic Behavior”. With schedules opening up during the pandemic, the extra time allowed the two to hone in on their evolving sound and record their first album.

When the Soft Moon rises, valleys are flooded with cold light. Static crackles, petals fade to pale and a chill runs deep. The Soft Moon shower us with songs like rain from the sombre sky of a stark city. This is concrete music for human hearts. As the tension builds fissures form. Look within and you’ll fine joy within each dark pulsation. This is division done right.

exilio’s first concert of the season explores music with contrasting texts and textures to mend the differences between emotions, seasons, cultures, religions, and colors. We wish to invite the listeners to navigate the definition of light and darkness through artists’ minds and music. Featuring composers such as Tormis, Dett, Dunphy and Panufnik along with two premiers. dublab is a non profit community supporter radio station.
