Summer Night Air

Summer Night Air - the soft underbelly of Paul Heathcote - started in Summer 2003. Formally of ambient postrock purveyors Sansava, Summer Night air makes minimal drones with a sense of naivety and innocence that's so beautiful it could ooze out of your hi-fi speakers and drip onto your carpet. Some reviews: "worth tracking down if your taste leans towards the expansive, the minimally melodic and the distinctly dewy-eyed...artless but never quite gauche, 3 is a gentle but genuine pleasure." THE WIRE FEB 2006

d_rradio

d_rradio began releasing recordings in 2003. Their odd name (pronounced D. R. Radio) stands for deathrowradio - the intention of their music is to bring comfort and light to the most dark and difficult hours. Thriving on organic melodies and digital soundscapes, d_rradio's first public ventures were lugubriously soporific affairs. A spilt 7" with Marcia Blaine School For Girls on the Awkward Silence label, was followed two months later by the 'Dust And Guitars' 7" on Static Caravan - both of which received regular airplay from John Peel and sold out super fast.
