Motte and Bailey – Episode March 6, 2024

On the Motte: A very special triple edition of Top of the Castle. Starting off with, we have the new compilation album by Lavender Dream (Kaiden Jackman + Ariel Ulysses) titled TRANS RIGHTS = HUMAN RIGHTS, featuring a whole bunch of new and old releases from Calgary experimental artists and beyond all to help protest harmful legislation from the Albertan government that's against trans youth.

Next, we take a look at Aichi born electronic artist Taishi, a doujin musician who specialized in a special kind of EDM known as Artcore.

Finally, we listen to a couple of cuts from the breakcore charity compilation COREPULSIVE, hosted by UK producer Arcade Trauma, intended to bring awareness and raise money for one of the most tragically misunderstood disorders, OCD.

If you have the money to spare and you want to help out a good cause for some great music, please go buy both the compilation mixes off of Bandcamp.



On the Bailey: A bunch of local experimental projects, a new release from ambient legend Ben Frost, sludge rock to New York no wave, math rock to tech-thrash metal, and ending things off with some incredibly dissonant death metal.
