The regular Tranquility Sessions will continue right after this special, all the way till 6am Saturday morning. Normal schedule resumes thereafter.
*Timings are a rough estimation.

They can be heard throughout the day in both The Melting Pot and Tranquility Sessions.
WildMaw (The Lesser Mix) – Chgn & Dekoyan
Flashbacks – Leslie Chua
Frankie Wilde – Leslie Chua
Do check out their websites to sample/download their tracks!
On a side note, do stay tuned as we bring to you Deep House/Lounge sets mixed by Guray003 as well as DJ Chermy, coming to you this Friday on Tranquility Sessions (The Headbangers postponed to a later date as we’re swamped with exams & work currently, as mentioned earlier). More details coming soon!
Old or new, these are the 10 tracks we absolutely love this week, over all genres.
In no particular order,
Lazy Eye – Silversun Pickups
Atlantis To Interzone – Klaxons
Pachuca Sunrise – Minus The Bear
Hope (Original Mix) – Lemon & Einar K
Les Djinns (Trentmoller Remix) – Djuma Soundsystem
Let’s Get Out Of This Country – Camera Obscura
7/4 Shoreline – Broken Social Scene
No Heart, No Home – Air Cav
George Romero – Sprites
I Know I Know I Know – Tegan & Sara
The Err-what? song for the week:
Rocks Tonic Juice Magic – Saves The Day
Morbid lyrics sang with utmost nonchalance.
I’m gonna cut your flesh away.. -yawn- maybe after this cuppa tea.
Let me take this awkward saw
And run it against your thighs
Cut some flesh away
I’ll carry this piece of you with me
Because all I can say tonight
is that I hate you
But it would be all right
If we could see each other sometime
If I could somehow make you mine
And if not I’ll take my spoons
And dig out your blue eyes
I’ll swallow them down to my colon
They’re gonna burn like hell tonight
The Headbangers will not be on this weekend as there simply is no time for us to put up the show due to exams. It will be back soon, we promise!
Weekends will continue using the normal weekday schedule for now.
If there are constant problems to the streaming, please do let us know and we will try to check the connection/quality settings.
Also, if our current listeners have like-minded friends who are open to new sounds, do let them know of our existence! Simply point them to this website!
Added the Audiozue player to show the current album playing. Due to WordPress.com’s restrictions on usage of Javascript, there is no way we can show the artist and track title of the current song directly (if anybody knows a way, please do contact us!). Do take note! Clicking on the album art will lead you to the iTunes store (that’s where you can see the artist and track). If you do not want to have the stream disrupted (if you’re using iTunes to stream), or you loathe anything Apple-related, then clicking it is ill-advised.
We will not hesitate to put up our stream on a proper streaming host, even if it means having to pay for it out of our own pockets. To do that, however, we will need a larger listener base to justify the decision. A streaming host will mean that we will be able to broadcast the stream at higher quality, as well as being able to have more listeners on the stream at the same time.
We are also thinking of setting up a show showcasing music done by upcoming/starting local bands, perhaps a 1-hour or 2-hour show that will play twice a week. Timeslots can be decided later on, its still in the pipelines as Mika has her exams this coming week, and I’m currently trying to finish up whatever I can as mine’s in May. Local bands who are interested in this idea, do email us!
Those wondering what Mika has been doing, she has been doing mostly behind-the-scenes work for Radio Eclectica. Oh and lotsa mugging.
That’s it for now!
Old or new, these are the 10 tracks we absolutely love at the moment, over all genres.
In no particular order,
Angelica – Lamb
Lazy Eye – Silversun Pickups
Radio – The Southland
Maps – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Standing In The Way Of Control (Nu-Sense Remix) – The Gossip
Spirit – Re:Locate ft. Menno de Jong
Dead End – The Format
Sketches (20 Something Life) – La Rocca
Dashboard – Modest Mouse
Frontier Psychiatrist – The Avalanches (bloody song never grows old)
The Err-what? song for the week:
I Started A Blog That Nobody Read – Sprites
Funny lyrics, simple melody but ultimately makes you go “huh? what?”
I started a blog, which nobody read
When I went to work I blogged there instead
I started a blog, which nobody viewed
It might be in cache, the topics include:
George Bush is an evil moron
What’s the story with revolving doors?
I’m in love with a girl who doesn’t know I exist
Nobody hates preppies anymore
Genre: Uplifting Trance
Floating. Wafting through the air. Falling. Hallucinating.
That’s the breakdown for you. Something about the melody that makes you wanna raise your hands up, and feel the rush coming. Feel it tingling up and through the body, as the beats slowly come back and strip you down to your instincts. Jump to the beats. The rush has just kicked in, relish the moment, and await the next one.
Genre: Indie/Art Rock
Okay so this has been out for awhile already, but the songs are still refreshing thus far. The album is brilliant, not just a selected tracks, but the whole record. The style is unique, a refreshing change from the usual stuff I listen to.
Helicopter / Banquet gets us off in the right direction, both energetic and catchy, its bound to get you up up and about.
This Modern Love is absolutely the best track off this album. Its simple, yet it stays with you the longest. The subtle repeating rhythm riff, accompanied by Kele’s vocals is amazing, and the lead guitar by Russell isn’t complicated, but yet acts as a form of garnish to the whole song.
So Here We Are / Plans are the sort of songs that Russell (lead guitarist) probably had a ball of a time creating and perfecting. Lotsa dreamy delay effects, not the least bit overbearing in any way, instead it complements the song entirely.
An album that’s definitely worth listening to.

That’s all for this round of The Headbangers!
Take note, every Sunday’s episode of The Headbangers is a rotated format of previous day Sat’s show to give exposure to some of the later mixes on Sat.
We will add new mixes every Saturday, in addition to the current ones, just to keep things fresh!
Friday 13th Apr 2007
2200-0000 hrs
Progressive through to tech-trance in a 2-hr live DJ mix by DJ Juno.
Do pardon any technical faults or DJ mixing errors.
Genre: Post-rock
Yet another album release by instrumental post-rock group Explosions In The Sky, and despite it being more of the same fare, one can never seem to have enough of their sound. My favourite track off this album is definitely “So Long, Lonesome”. Its clean innocent guitar, coupled with a warm piano-driven lead, moves this serenader with purity. A meticulously constructed, understated awakening that is about to happen, not with a big bang, but a gradual ascent, and the culmination that occurs is an enchanting, subtle ripple.
“Its Natural To Be Afraid” is another good track, and at 13.27mins long, its the longest song as well. With most songs topping 4mins at most currently, this is actually a relief. In fact, this song is perfect for the roads as it eats up travelling time, while providing a lush aural landscape for the tired soul.
A bonus CD is supplied as well, providing remixes of the songs on the original CD. Most of them are just as good as the original, and are a good addition to the main sound of Explosions In The Sky.
Genre: Indie/Art Rock
Sweet twinkly dreamy notes punctuate this melancholic number as it depicts the anarchic-like state of youths in Britain. One of the B-side bonus tracks off their new album, A Weekend In The City, this track is, in my opinion, underrated.
