CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: December 12, 2017

Hi friends,

These are my last CKUT charts! It’s definitely a bittersweet feeling to leave this office, although it’s with great excitement that I introduce Alex Moskos as our new music coordinator. Some of you will be familiar with his excellent work in Drainolith, Dan’l Boone, AIDS Wolf, and a zillion other projects; others, the real old-school folks, will also recall his stint as CKUT’s music resources coordinator back in the day. We’ll both be checking the music@ckut.ca email address until the holidays, and starting in the new year he’ll be taking over full-time. On a more personal note, thanks to everyone who’s sent us great music, supported CKUT, and generally been a kickass music pal during my stint here – I’ll miss you all!

CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: October 4, 2016

unnamed

Hello radio,
Not too much to report this week – been taking a little breather after POP Montreal and gearing up for our upcoming existence referendum and our annual funding drive. I did manage to catch Gambletron (above), Drainolith, and a bunch of other CKUT hosts tear it up at anRBMA Drone Activity show over the weekend – so much bass, so many strobe lights. My senses are still recovering.

Album Review: Drainolith – Hysteria

unnamed-2

The dark, droning, quirky massacre that is Drainolith’s “Hysteria” has obtained a certain aesthetic that can only possibly be described as Montreal underground. The combination of Alexander Moskos’ wild array of unique talents has produced a genre-smashing ensemble sound culminating in an album that is simply marvelous across the board and especially perfect for the CKUT scene.
