MuhMur Radio SoundArt Radio Broadcast 26:05:2016.

The first broadcast in a month, the first broadcast from the new SoundArt Radio studio. Still on the Dartington Hall Estate, but now in the much larger and multi-roomed Space Studio #4. So big and vast they've put the turntables in a separate room away from the mixing desk and CD/Tape players.
With Dave having CarTrouble Chris Booth stepped in as engineer and turntable-meister.
Tonights broadcast features the work and sounds of Thortsen Soltau. I first became aware of Thorsten's work when I was trying to track down St. Martin, a Hamburg based artist who DJ'd the night I played Gängerviertel in 2013. St. Martin is not active on the www, and Thorsten offered himself as a go-between. Then an interesting package came through with releases on Thorsten's own m.m.label imprint and some 7" singles by the mysterious Unknown Singing Objects.
