“hello there jonny

PS- and then there will be some covert buzzery that will be revealed at a later date….

vlk & sukie smith

after many weeks of good time fun we’re taking a bit further out- on the show this saturday we have freakish instant composition from VLK with spidery acoustic interventions from Sukie Smith (aka Madam)- experiments and sound and eerie melodrama

a hour and a half of refined shamism- come hallucinate with us….

a MONSTER of a show in more ways than one with more guests than one too.

the pylon welcomes artist/monster maker/easydelia curator Pete Fowler who will be escorting us round the stranger tendrils of monsterism island. you’ll know his artwork from bands like Super Furry Animals but Monsterism Island is something else- a whole new mythology.

NOW, that’s rich enough for plenty of shows but the pylon is fuelled by creative energy and so we also have subeena in the studio.

Subeena is a new producer who has been transmitting some special and unique aquacrunkywonkydub sounds and songs (YES songs) with a really off-kilter leaning towards the ethereal and we’re mighty excited to have her here.

finally breaking my quietus silence with reams more guff to come before xmas…..

the Pylon orders you to join the Celestial Mass

OK, this is going to be the most monolithic trippy hurricane of sound ur going to get all year- a blast furnace of sonic mysticism with not a little amount of camp thrown in for good measure….

Chrome Hoof who i’ve yet to sample, Jean-Pierre Massiera the massively out there spacerockdisco innovator- kind of  Joe Meek through the time tunnel in 2001 and Christian Vander’s Magma- 40 years of indescirpable unsurpassable rock melodramatics.

I’m going and i’m bloody excited about it too….

finders keepers

Finders Keepers Records- those obsessive crate diggers of avant-kitsch and the fromage-garde are going to inhabit the exotic pylon this saturday- we have a mix from andy votel, a documentary about crazed acid-disco-rock leviathan Jean Paul Massiera and some spinning and chatting from Doug Shipton and some goon called mugwump

where the hell esle are you going to get an hour and a half of bollyfolkhausen?

NOWHERE thats where.

dual-bliss-schizophrenia radio

This week Bob Bhamra and Jon Chambers are invading the pylon in a multitude of guises with heaps of exclusives and rarities- nouveau psychedelia as Sunray, space loops with Data70, dubglitchwobblehouse as West Norwood Cassette Library and a compressed history of 20th century music with No. 1 Astronaut.

internal return

well it’s been bloody ages since i wrote anything of any use (well, anything at all really) and i’m not really starting now suffice it to say that i am finally tidaying and organising the playlists and the website as we move into the next phase of pyloneering.

i will say though that the show has touched some really incredible heights over the last few months due to some truly incredible artists all having a truly touching attitude of entirely leaping into the unkown and creating a really special vibe.

i’ve been talking about updates and changes for so long now but this morning i actually started working on it.

the blog itself has become very static but today is the first sign of movement- playlists take first priority and then i will be shifting the whole thing over to the pylon hub and then everything starts afresh and in earnest.

thank you for listening- we’ve not even started yet

peace

mugwump

For one night only on Saturday 25th July, i and i is handing over the reins of the Exotic Pylon to abstract sonic architect, The Time Attendant and musical magpie, Dolly Dolly. Expect a titillating selection of sounds that enlighten and expand your mind into incomprehensible directions. Their very special guest will be prime hauntologist The Moon Wiring Club.

so, we’re talking brothers grimm vs stockhausen via the english countryside- lend them your ears….

this show has been a long time coming and promises to be a major highlight at the exotic pylon.

author matthew de abaitua will be in the studio reading from his superb novel The Red Men (with maybe a few surprises) over a live backing from the shadowy Time Attendant. mugwump will be sliding in between with a host of cosmic sounds past, present and future…

archived sunday- please join us as this will be way out….
