Ok here’s the deal…
Fluid Radio has been streaming now for a year and within that time the playlist has been gradually changing, growing into more experimental sounds. This has brought the station many new listeners which is great, but….yes there is always a but!
I want to make sure that we don’t scare off the listeners who have been with us since day one, and so have been thinking seriously about creating a new stream dedicated to a more experimental sound.

Here’s a list of cool releases doing the rounds on the Fluid playlist at the moment…
Filed under: News | Tags: Christoph Berg, Ennea, Field Rotation, Fluid Audio, Hope, Licht und Schatten EP
One of the things that we love about running Fluid Radio is the amount of highly talented artists we discover along our journey of bringing you fresh cutting edge sounds. One particular talent is an artist who goes by the name of Field Rotation. We recieved a four track demo a while back and haven’t stopped listening to it since. This guy’s music is very special indeed and I have a feeling we will be seeing lots more from him this year. With his track ‘Regenzeit’ submitted to the Fluid Audio 001 project ‘Hope’, ‘Licht und Schatten’ EP signed up for Fluid Audio 002, Field Rotation is definitely an artist to watch out for in 2009!
Filed under: Interviews | Tags: James Murray, Ultimae Records, Where Edges Meet
James Murray is a london-based electroacoustic sound artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist. his productions weave together elements of electronica, downtempo, jazz and dub in emotive explorations of how the organic and electronic interact.
All at once the city and the middle of nowhere, jm’s recursive themes draw hi-tech sound design, live instrumentation and lush pastoralism together in a sonic world where nothing is ever quite as it seems.

IDMf004 – Length and Brecht (Remixed) transcends the definition of remix album by sounding more like a four movement orchestral piece with a recurring theme: the leitmotif of a woman’s voice singing out in a layering of beautiful, ambient tones. Download here
Filed under: Album Of The Week
The ten-minute title track gets the album underway, opening tentatively with flickers of noise and digital debris crackling like fireworks in the distance. Soon a flood of symphonic guitar and electronics overwhelms the mix and we’re reintroduced to the signature sound world that’s unique to this man’s music – he’s one of the most imitated electronic artists out there, and yet you can always pick out the real thing from a line-up of clones.
Since being involved with the Exquisite Corpse mix for solipsistic NATION I have come into contact with a very cool music website known as Headphone Commute. The site is full of interesting articles ranging from interviews, new releases, album reviews and label information. Make sure to visit and give yourself an hour or so for a great read…

I was recently asked by the fabulous solipsistic NATION to contribute a track to the Exquisite Corpse series. It’s a wonderful idea that Joe at solipsistic has come up with, and the end result is a metling pot of cutting edge electronic music selected by various music bloggers from around the globe.
Below is an in-depth explanation of how Exquisite Corpse works with a link for you to download the mix in it’s entirety….
Between Interval’s gentle mix for Fluid Radio is now available as a download here
Behind Between Interval is Stefan Strand, born in southern Sweden back in 1982. Without any musical education, Stefan started experimenting and creating electronic music around the year of 1996. Originally focused around club related sounds, Stefan later on found his way to ambient music through artists like Steve Roach, Robert Rich and Aphex Twin.
Filed under: Releases | Tags: Aleph Zero Records, bluetech, The Divine Invasion
Since being told by the Aleph Zero guys that a promo was on its way I was very excited to know what Evan was going to come up with on the third Bluetech album. I had heard the samples and to be honest couldn’t really tell if this was going to meet my high expectations. I can honestly say that it did and more! Evan has managed to bring together the original Bluetech sound, and yet at the same time come up with something completly new….
