    3 (Remixed) is on vinyl for the first time especially for RSD and JTV say: During lockdown we thought it would be cool to create a remix project with artists we admire. We love collaborating. Itís exciting to have them reimagine our tracks say Japanese Television - who formed with a shared vision of creating a modern psych space-surf soundscape. Gabe Gurnsey add his trademark hard-hitting beats and minimalist synths to otherworldly psych single ëBee Cageí and has already had three plays from Lauren Laverne and two from Gideon Coe on 6 Music and the mix was made John Kennedy's 'X-Posture Hot One. A groove-laden treat, Gabe adds layers of astral beats to create something wholly other. We heard Gabe's remix for Working Men's Club and loved it, we're stoked he's on board. This is followed by James Lavelleís masterful UNKLE Reconstruction of Falling Spikes (the original was named as one Amy Lameís BBC 6 Music Favourite Tracks of 2020), which delivers the trademark eclectic UNKLE sound and twist. James is a living legend and as big fans it's an honour to have him remix, say JTV.

    With additional mixes from Space Age Freakout (we love the dirty Manchester electronic vibe), International Teachers of Pop (We're big fans of ITOP. Sheffield's finest); and James Welsh (Like Gabe we found James through Erol Elkan's Phantasy Sound label. He's delivered absolute dynamite), say JTV.Japanese Television surf on a swirling wave of reverb-drenched organ, garage-rock guitars, hypno-motorik bass and pounding, ritualistic drums.

    In 2020 the band released their five track EP III slice of motorik space twang. Preferring to work in a village hall deep in the wilds of the east British countryside, JTV again recorded live to an old 8 track machine with The Wytches Kristian Bell following the success of EPs I & II. The band has been played over 70 times on BBC 6 Music including a session with Marc Riley and have seen acclaim from the likes of NME, So Young, Clash, Arts Desk, WFUV in New York, and The Wire. Only Japanese Television are 100% space surf. Their cosmic glow remains extraordinary.

    Blue On Blue

      "Leading the shoegaze revival in London. Blue On Blue have a fan in the form of the Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess. A band who quite literally sound like the Cocteau Twins playing a summer’s BBQ, alongside Veronica Falls, Blue on Blue are one the rarest things on the planet – a modern British shoegaze band who don’t suck." Spoonfed

      “Blue on Blue is one of London’s latest rising stars. Creating eerie, ethereal shoe-gaze, they are undeniably cool and ridiculously good. Truly mesmerizing” Subba Culture

      “A brilliant act…definitely a band to watch out for.” The Line of Best Fit

      “A jubilant take on early 90s jangling pop crawling to the sound of 80s heartache…it’s hypnotic giddy stuff. What will really keep you warm is Cinnamon Swirl – a beautifully simple guitar hook.” Loud & Quiet

      “Epic shoegazing…beguiling free floating feel…I Feel Warm’s becalmed Twin Peaks feel is interrupted bystaccato burst of shoegaze guitar (as if David Lynch were conducting proceedings)” Artrocker

      “Blue On Blue has the showgaze ooze mixed with New Order basslines, and singer/bassist Dee Sada coo’s all over it all with Kim Gordon-like confidence” Future Sounds

      “London shoegaze act melding gently-throbbing guitars with trippy digitalisms to become a funkier, clearer version of the XX. Languid, blissful and fuzzily warm” Some Of It Was True!

      Blue On Blue's debut EP is released on alternative London label, Tip Top records. Dee Sada (vocals/bass/electronics) and Billy Steiger (vocals/guitar/electronics) have been working on an intense, claustrophobic and therapeutic set of songs discussing everything from love to heartache, mental breakdowns and insomnia.

      The duo produced, engineered and recorded their EP themselves in their tailor-made Morgenrock Studios in Cable Street, east London. Using an array of custom-made instruments to create their own unique sound, the band are dedicated to pursuing the intricacies of sounds and music.

      Letting yourself go is certainly what the last song of the EP, Paradise Syndrome feels like. A dark journey into loneliness, depression and feeling guilty about one's own shortcomings, it is a 6 minute noisescape which is both deeply intimate and aggressive in nature.
