3/3 This is where we will donate the Hawkbinge proceeds from any shirts sold. Hawkbinge is a proudly money losing operation, and will always be so.

Joe says it's lore to share this whenever you see it, wherever you find it. So it is again, courtesy of his post on FB... That headline would be a magnificent title for a future compilation album I reckon...

Ep 31 turntable picks: for Andy's #2 "Join HENGE on a mission to Voltus B; a distant planet inhabited by an intelligent species on the brink of discovering the power within atoms" "Journey to Voltus B" 2025 on Wipe Out Music. Fun energy space beats ๐ธ

Andy chose the track "Slingshot" for the nascent vol 8 of the Hawkbinge Sessions playlist. Enjoy it here in this very excellent video, which also gives you a good idea of who this band is...

Ep 31 turntable picks: Matt's #2 is from his "summer bag of optimistic dance records" - 2010's "Moments of Excellence" EP. by Black Van on the acclaimed German label Permanent Vacation. Matt wishes you all a happy electro summer ๐
๐๐๐
And it's the title track that gets into the Hawkbinge Sessions playlist, vol 8 of which is just beginning to be put together. Glistening strings, synthy bleeps and a groovy electronic bass line. Here comes the sun ๐

Ep 31 turntable picks: Andy's #1 is by the band 35007. The album is "Liquid", 2002 on Stickman, instrumental space/stoner/prog/ambient rock at its finest. AllMusic noted "they are a truly multimedia and multi-sensory experience" ๐๐๐
Andy chose "Evaporate" to add to the now-building vol 8 of the Hawkbinge Sessions playlist on Spotify. 35007 are not around anymore, which is such a shame. Liquid is an absolute gem of an album and should def resonate with fans of Hawkwind

Ep 31 turntable picks: Matt's #1 is Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers, 1997 on Freestyle Dust and Virgin Records. Their second album & first no.1 - "it rocks, rolls and surges without factionalist prejudice or fear of genre" (Rolling Stone)
@ChemBros
While "Block Rockin' Beats" is the one we tend to think of. Matt chose "Piku" to kick off vol 8 of the Hawkbinge Sessions playlist, being created in Spotify over the next few episodes.
