Guest vocals on DR3

We’re delighted that Peter Rophone will contribute to our next album (as yet untitled). He has an extraordinary voice, which I think bears comparison to the late Jeff Buckley. We’ve sent him a suitably spacious piece and asked him to work his magic. Can’t wait to hear what he comes up with! Here’s a track […]

Festive greetings from Das Rad

Thanks to all those who have supporting the band during this difficult year, through ordering, promoting, reviewing or simply enjoying. We sincerely hope for better times ahead! We have sold half of our limited edition 10″ vinyl and will be having more cut in the New Year. Our third album is well under way. Who […]

QuaranJazz interview

Our Martin was interviewed about his label & career, plus “Inside Reverse” gets an airing 😉  

Test-cuttings!

Our lathe-man Jon has sent these short clips of the test cuts (not presses!) in action. It’s sounding great! Not too late to order one before they sell out. http://dasrad.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/vinyl1.mp4http://dasrad.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/vinyl2.mp4

Kindling Discus

So here’s a nice little thing. Our label Discus Music has a pal and broadcaster from Constellations Radio – Will McGiven, who has created a 85 minute mix from a whole range of Discus Music releases, and here it is free for you to download! – although you can make a donation if you wish. […]

Rythmes Croises review

First of all, Steve Dinsdale, who plays drums and sometimes keyboards in the legendary English electronic trio Radio Massacre International. Then there’s Nick Robinson, an absolute ace of guitar loops, which he brings to life, evolve and disappear at will, like a magician of sound. Finally, Martin Archer, who as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, plays saxophone, […]

Buy now to secure your copy – shipping will be early December 2020. As vinyl lovers from our younger days, Discus Music always hoped to revisit the format […]

Progressive Aspect review

Perhaps with one panel of the fold-out CD digipak leering at us with a picture of Johnson, Putin, Jong-un, and Trump, one in each of the quartered panel, and given the album title, it’s just as well this journey through a disturbed inner space is entirely instrumental, as lyrically it would all be just be […]

Radio Sheffield

Nick is interviewed by Ellie Colton on BBC Radio Sheffield’s Upload programme to be streamed on Wednesday 14th October at 9pm. Oslo Star is the featured track.

Das Rad – a review and a half!

A review from Darren Bergstein (Downtown Music Gallery NY) – no money changed hands! Let’s open simply with: wow. Rarely am I rendered speechless by a recording, but when those moments occur, it’s pure heavenly euphoria. This, the second Das Rad joint, isn’t your father’s prog-fuelled space truckin’ by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, […]

Mixing our vinyl

We’re looking to release a 10″ vinyl sometime soon, It features 2 tracks especially recorded for this project – “Alysum” and “Qul Na Qar”, currently being mixed. Individually hand-cut and checked by local lathier, the package will include gifts such as hand-made origami, a Das Rad “flexagon” and signed sleeve liner. This will be a […]
