Tammo Hesselink - Live at Ormside projects
C100, transparent blue cassette. Limited run of 60.

“I don’t get the opportunity to play a full set at 170 very often. When I do, I feel very responsible for doing my research well, as I come from a different background musically. This is a recording of a special night at Ormside where I played a lot of favourites from four decades.”

Featuring tunes by Type, Paradox and Oaysis.

Out next Thursday at the usual spots.

John Howes returns to Blank Mind as Paperclip Minimiser with Topology Transform — three tracks that map the full range of his fractured micro-dub-techno sound world. Glitchy high-tempo percussion, spacious half-time structures and a beatless ambient flip, all built with the same precision and depth. Where clicks n’ cuts, UK bass and broken techno quietly converge.

As you may be aware unfortunately @unit3_mcr has had to postpone there reopening following an unsympathetic H&S visit from the people with red tape 🙄

We’ve therefore had to postpone our friends affair that was meant to take place on the 11th april back to some time after summer! All ticket holders have been refunded. This will definitely come to fruition at some point, we’ll keep you updated on the reschedule date 📆

Shame but we send all our best to @unit3_mcr and hope they can reopen sooon!

More exciting event news coming tomorrow though to make up for it 👀☁️

Today marks the release of my album, a debut full-length release, 8 tracks pressed as a double LP ~ leaving plenty of space for each track to spread out ~ DJ friendly discs only!

On this record I wanted to lean closer towards more traditional dance music forms, focusing on directness of rhythm, and deliberate function of sound design/placement. Hopefully these tracks help you to immerse yourself into movement.

The title borrows its name from the physics phenomenon referring to light refraction which, somewhat unintentionally, has a double meaning in the emotional context. Similarly, several of the track names are other scientific or engineering expressions - language which surrounds me in my day-to-day work and which I find often has interesting human parallels.

To produce the artwork, we sent photographer Thomas Steineder an 8-sided prism and asked him to bounce light through it to capture reflections. I've included a couple of the digital shots in this post to give some xtra context, but the final cover art was produced without a camera, by wrapping the film directly round the prism and firing light into it. I love how it resulted in a subtly obscured, abstract soft interpretation of the original angular material, kinda reflecting the end result of the music.

As always, big big thanks to Sam for being down with my ideas and getting this produced to Blank Mind's consistently high standards, really feels like the perfect home for the record. Thanks to Oskar Jeff for the words and thoughts to shape them. Thanks to Thomas Steineder for the art. Thanks to Ryan O'Callaghan and Charlie MacLagan, my unofficial promo photographers. And thanks to all my family, friends, and the wider music world for the support.

Total Internal Reflection available to buy from the usual places - grab the vinyl and support your local record store!
