  MAKE DO AND MEND (SUPPORT FINDERS
KEEPERS SERIES)

Please support our good friends at Finders Keepers, Twisted Nerve, Bird, Battered Ornaments - They lost a great deal of stock in the PIAS warehouse fires caused by rioting on August 8th. A few of their close label mates have come together to compile some of their favourite moments from the Finders Keepers family discography. A series of 10 limited edition CD and MP3 compilations curated by the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Demdike Stare, David Holmes and Gruf Rhys including some exclusive and unreleased tracks are now ready to order directly from the Finders Keepers website and like minded retailers in a bid to ease them back onto their feet releasing phantastic obscure and obsolete music as soon as possible.

Please support them by purchasing these awesome compilations here »



  X-Mix - A journey through punk, DIY, post-punk,
proto-electro and synth punk.

A futureshock battle-plan for survival in the nuclear age, 1975-1985. Fast-forwarding back to a time when panic was hardwired into the DNA of a generation of messthetic misfits. This mix is an attempt to re-ignite that moment, via scorch-hot sonics.


From the DIY debris of an era in which decay was an everyday facet of life, these present-tense aural shards serve as an explosive corrective to our own impassive times.


Re-edited, melded and cauterised into one continuous mix and presented as a caustic dancefloor revision of diy & independent music from 1975-1985.


Selected and mixed by Hyena, Mike Bird & Duncan Clark, mixed down and engineered by Jean Gabriel-Becker
