B-MUSIC COLLECTIVE
B-Music is an independent collective of DJs, musicians and music lovers dedicated to the obsessive and painstaking pursual of obscure, obsolete, exquisitely obnoxious, unbelievable, underexposed and undeniably delectable discs of experimental pop music from the psyched-out sixties and seventies.
B-Music.co.uk provides a pocket library for discerning aficionados of fascinating rhythms from six times around the globe - unifying record collectors, beat diggers, fanatics of the avant-garde and trash-merchants alike.
Centred around the Mancunian eponymous travelling club and bar night - hosted by Andy Votel (Twisted Nerve) and Dominic Thomas - and along with twin record labels Finders Keepers and Delay 68, B-Music represents a passionate, un-blinkered approach to the culmination of way-out sounds encompassing all elements of off-kilter counter-culture: Psych Prog Space Rock Ye-Ye Euro Beat Folk Funk Jazz and Whacked Out Movie Musak, as well as cherry pickings of bugged-out cinema, design and literature in token doses.

BROADCAST (DJ Set)
Birmingham's Broadcast have over the course of 4 albums and 12 years created some of the most distinctive and esoteric music of the last 20 years.
Musique Concrete, free jazz, analog electronic wizardry and a minimalist pop sensibility are an unlikely mix. Yet Broadcast combine these with ethereal vocals to create dark folk compositions steeped in mystery. It has been said that they 'transmit radiophonic psychedelia' and indeed they are often compared to 60s electronic pop pioneers 'The United States of America' and 'White Noise'.
Also it is little wonder that they cite early 70s Czech new wave film 'Valerie and her week of wonders' as an influence, as this fairy tale steeped in mystery and odes to the subconscious, is like a visual counterpoint to the Broadcast sound.
With such a nuanced appreciation of what has gone before, the most amazing thing is how effortlessly Broadcast transcend their influences, in the process creating a sound that is rich in history but ultimately and unmistakably their own.
They will be sharing some of their favourite music at the Sugar Club along with B-Music regulars Andy Votel & Dom Thomas.
"Broadcast are not the kind of group who bash you over the head with some coarse gimmick. Haha Sound (2002) steals into your mind, gently drenches it with found sounds and the sweetest melodies. like cindy sherman's self-portraits, they are beautiful and unsettling - hints of ancient folk song dipped in a world of echo." - Bob Stanley (St Etienne)
