http://www.connexionbizarre.net/webcast/cb_20091019-1025_b.mp3("Submission for Radio Futura" with music selection by M.)
This was the 'mixtape' that was submited to and accepted by
http://www.radiozero.pt/ - Radio Zero for a participation in the Radio Futura initiative (the 'official' radio of the 2009 edition of
http://futureplaces.org/ - Future Places digital media and online culture festival/meeting). The actual live radio broacast took place on October 17th between 6-7pm but, for those that missed it, here's the original submission, without any spoken comments.
Unfortunately, the exact tracklisting was never noted down (lame) and there's a couple of pieces that I can't identify anymore. Either way, this mix is bound to contain tracks by one or more of the following: Marching Dynamics, Hecq, Lucidstatic, Otto Von Schirach, Igorrr, Sickboy, Zeller, Faux Pride, Drumcorps, Glowstyx, Enduser, Le Diktat, Ten Data Keshin, Az-Rotator and a couple of others which I don't remember at the moment. If by any chance you think you can identify all the pieces in this mix, mail your tracklisting to mailto:info@connexionbizarre.net"]info@connexionbizarre.net and we'll publish it if it is correct giving you credit (wow!).

ReviewsFhievel - Pipe Smoking on a BalloonA variety of electronic drones, warm crackling noise and many other subtle electronic noises. "Pipe Smoking on a Balloon"album maintains a sense of calm and never strays into harshness or anything that doesn't make you feel like you're floating along with the clouds (perhaps in a balloon with a pipe in hand?). That's not to say it grows boring either though.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_fhievel_psoab.htmSunao Inami - DisinfectantJapanese experimental artist and Electr-Ohm label head Sunao Inami releases "Disinfectant", his seventh album under his own name. The album is composed of tracks recorded live in Tokyo in May 2009 which have been cut up and remixed with the intention of to creating new material whilst maintaining the live feel inherent in the original tracks.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_sunaoinami_d2.htmY.E.R.M.O. - Collision ZoneOnce you've put this CD into your player, you may find that you can't stop listening to it again and again in order to fully appreciate all of its details and subtleties. And for that reason, it should better be played at high volume, on a high end stereo and with lights turned off.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_yermo_cz.htm[syndika:zero] - Blindness'True Industrial Freedom' is a term bandied about by this relatively new act on the scene to describe their contribution to industrial and harsh electro music. A loftier ideal, perhaps, than club popularity, but their latest release, "Blindness", is more likely to be remembered for the latter than the former.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_syndikazero_b.htmV/A - Whiteline Vol. IIIRoughly once a year, the German label has released an installment of "Whiteline", their DJ-oriented 12" vinyl compilation series. Like its predecessors, "Whiteline Vol. III" features a selection of tracks by established acts and lesser-known or new and upcoming artists from several points in the world. This time around, Aentitainment presents tracks by Igorrr, Mobthrow, Ebola, Larvae and Hello.JPG.
