solipsistic NATION No. 183:
Ben Frost, Live

The first Friday of each month on solipsistic NATION I feature a live set from an artists and today's show is a recording of Ben Frost's performance at St Katherine's, a 16th century Gothic church in Krakow for Unsound in 2008.

Ben Frost is a musician, composer and producer who draws upon minimalism, post-punk, black metal and noise in his music. Ben's album, Theory of Machines, gained him critical acclaim and his most recent album, By the Throat, cemented his place as an artist on the global stage.

Ben joins us today from the Bedroom Community studios in Iceland.

I'd like to thank Mat and Radek from Unsound for sharing Ben concert on this week's show.

Ben's concert came in under an hour so I asked HC from the Headphone Commute blog to put together a mix of Ben's studio tracks to round out today's show. HC is the man who turned me on to Ben so this is kind of my way for thanking him.

Join us again next week when we'll talk with Sam and Fred of Planet Terror Records!

EshOne

It's been a long week for me here at solipsistic NATION. Last weekend I got hit with some sort of bug that had me bedridden for a couple of days. I've spent the rest of this week digging myself out from under a pile of work that accumulated while I was down. Recording the voice overs for today's show while sick was not a lot of fun either. But you don't need to know about all that. Despite being sick I still have a great show for you! Today's show features a mix from our guest DJ, EshOne. EshOne is a musicians and an impresario and runs the San Diego Dubstep website. EshOne is also affiliated with San Diego's Brokenbeat. I talk to people from all over the world on solipsistic NATION but we all need to support our local music scene...

Hecq

February has been a great month here on solipsistic NATION. So far we've had Alex Paterson on the show with a live set from The Orb, which was epic! Last week Kristian Peters came on the show and we played select tracks from his label, Sending Orbs. Next week EshOne will come on solipsistic NATION to talk about San Diego Dubstep and play a mix that's guaranteed to make your sub woofer throb. And then we have today's show. Our guest is Ben Lukas Boysen who records and performs under the name Hecq. How to describe Ben's music? We'll you'll hear for yourself on today's show. But let me quote HC from his Headphone Commute blog. He describes Ben's music this way: "Twisted rhythms swirling around your brain...

Sending Orbs

If you've been listening to solipsistic NATION to any length of time you know that once a month I showcase a record label that is releasing absolutely fantastic music you need to hear. If you're new to solipsistic NATION, well, now you know. This edition of solipsistic NATION is different. Last month on Twitter I asked what labels I should feature on solipsistic NATION and many people said I should showcase Sending Orbs. I had heard of Sending Orbs thanks to the Headphone Commute blog who had reviewed Yagya's Rigning album. So when folks on Twitter said I should feature Sending Orbs on the show I jumped at the chance to have Kristian Peters, the co-founder of Sending Orbs, on solipsistic NATION.
