Grasscut (Andrew Phillips, Marcus O’Dair) de Brighton (UK)
Otro producto Ninja tune, que ultimamente se ha puesto las pilas con nuevos productos de calidad como este duo de brighton, que debutaron en el Festival loop 2008 ( (Fourtet, Caribou, Holy Fuck), en directo han realizado espectaculos audiovisuales en la Tate y en el Festival Great Scape. Una gran voz, y la utilización de instrumentos clásicos junto con los sonidos electrónicos, loops y samples, creando un ambiente muy interesante. Muy Buen disco, garantia Ninja.

On this edition of the show we have Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair aka Grasscut in the studio playing live some track from their forthcoming debut album for the Ninja Tune label. Their music sits somewhere on the little travelled road between electro pop and modern classical. Also on this transmission we catch up with the avante garde Berlin pianist and composer Nils Frahm (Erased Tapes) to talk in detail about his beautiful music.
