You can listen back to previous Throwing Shade episodes here

IN FOCUS: SEEFEEL

British four piece Seefeel emerged at a time when rock music had begun to stagnate, with grunge’s intense energy starting to fade. Fusing textured, heavily treated guitar tones with electronic sequencers & drum machines, the group forged an inventive new path that casts a quiet influence on artists to this day.   Australian DJ Moopie explores the band’s lush, inventive discography with this two hour In Focus.

R.N.A. Organism

R.N.A. Organism

R.N.A. Organism has been played on NTS over 20 times, featured on 26 episodes and was first played on 30 January 2016.

Early incarnation of Japanese machine-funk band EP-4.

From Music Magazine:

"Receiving a cassette tape from R.N.A. Organism by air-mail, Agi Yuzuru (head of Vanity Records) mistakenly thought they were from overseas and highly acclaimed the band in Rock Magazine. However, it was a clever ploy by Kaoru Sato from Kyoto. This album is amazing dub music with funky bass, noise guitar, trumpet and rhythm machine - sort of like a heavier version of Andy Partridge's Take Away. Subsequently the group changed its name to EP-4, which became known for its guerrilla live performances as well as simultaneously releasing its debut album on both major and indie labels. Meanwhile, Sato disappeared from the music scene in the mid-80's." - Vanity Records
