TEAM SHADETEK Beats & Pieces
Interview with Soze.sht
Team Shadetek are Manhattan-based Soze.sht and Zach Zizmore, aka M. Schell and Zack Tucker. Founding members of the multi-media collective Change Agent, the pair have released a handful of EPs on their own label before being spotted by Warp, who have just released, Burnerism, their first mini album. Yet, there is more to Team Shadetek than the digital processing and dirty beats heard on this record. Here, we talk to Soze.sht about growing up in Manhattan, how Change Agent came together, and the multiple personalities of Team Shadetek.

MANYFINGERS Caught In The Loop
Interview with Chris Cole
If you are looking for an electro-acoustic artisan who combines the avant-garde elements of the medium with a strong sense of musicality and a striking visual presence in the live context, your search might easily end at Manyfingers. The work of Chris Cole, a Bristol-based musician who has played and collaborated with a host of influential Bristol bands (including Crescent, Movietone and Matt Elliott), Manyfingers utilises a cornucopia of instrumentation, looping live phrases up to create forebodingly beautiful sample symphonies that evoke that same sense of fog-wrapped English westcountry melancholy present in the work of the bands he plays with, whilst equally marking him out as a unique and prodigious talent in his own right. In the run-up to a rare Bristol performance in support of his eponymous album released earlier this year on Remote Viewer’s Moteer label, we caught up with Cole to discuss with refreshing honesty his distinctive approach, live electronic music performance and his recent work with Aspects beatboxer Monkey Moo.
