This week, within four days, I’ve seen two bands live that very much rely on the visual as much as the audio. One is a fiercely political industrial project taking it’s first steps into the live arena, the other is a band dedicated to meshing old informational and propaganda videos with taut post-punk rhythms, and […]
An exclusive for amodelofcontrol.com – Randolph & Mortimer's brand new video, created by Meat Cassette.
Last year, a new artist from Sheffield appeared, apparently out of nowhere. Said artist was Randolph & Mortimer, and I featured their first single The Markets in Tuesday Ten: 162. Then in fortuitous timing, I received new single Debt Is King the other week, in time for Tuesday Ten: 180, and I took the opportunity […]
In the works for some time, this was my first “in person” DJing since February 2020, and my first guest DJ appearance in some time, too. It was good to be back.
Back for a second event, the Terminates Here night Tragedy >For Two< was great fun, and it was a pleasure to be invited to DJ at it alongside DJs Terminates Here and Nathan Nothing. My setlists are below.
For the first time in a few years, 24/2 worked out to be a night where I could livestream.
Onto the third week of /Countdown/2024 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. As I’m sure I’ve explained before, I treat the “year” as 01-December to 30-November, to allow me a cut-off point, and to allow this to be done and dusted before Christmas so that I can […]
For those bemoaning that “there’s no good new music”, you’re wrong. There’s been an absolute torrent of new music lately, so much that I can barely keep up, and as we close off the first third of the year, there’s already been a few album of the year contenders too.
This week’s wrap of new and upcoming music. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently.

Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2023 – and the twentieth year that I’ve done this – which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2023.
My first “proper” club DJing in ages was a great return to something I love doing.
I’ve known my friend Mark13 an awfully long time – and DJed with him quite a few times – so it was a pleasure to be asked to DJ at his milestone birthday party.
It’s been a little while since I last travelled to DJ, but a short trip across Kent was no problem to join the Post Plague night for the first time.
The sun is out, we’re finally edging into what feels like Spring. And in the meantime, I’ve been busy listening to new music.
