This Island Earth
Sunday February 18th, 2018 with PeterB
A gear-grinding of experimental, minimalism, big beats, fusions. And a focus on Nawa label too.
Today's This Island Earth exploration wanders from experimental / new-classical / minimalism, to big beats, to fusions, to... And points in between. Plus some more mining of the terrific Nawa Recordings label (new to me). Lots of long sets and long tracks. Fasten your seat belts, and grab your headphones.
DO hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!
