Morcfm episode 35 - april 4th 2024
|
an episode with a few premieres, those are my favorite ones! as mentioned in the last episode, there'll be a morc-evening at De koer on april 24th - we're playing a soccer Committee-cover by The Puddle Parade to remind you. AND. everyone attending the show will get a free labelsampler (cd or download, whatever you prefer). you'll hear an exclusive track by Pefkin, and by Guy Trunte (members of de Portables and Luster!) that appear on this sampler. more details about the sampler here later, ok?
anyway: so we're celebrating by only playing tracks from various samplers: labelsamplers, scenesamplers, festivalsamplers, fanzine samplers... looking at the selection, i noticed that most of my favorite samplers are from the turn of the century, which is not surprising: since downloading/streaming became a thing in the 2000's the sampler-as-introduction kind of lost its use, for the most part. we'll kick of with my favorite track from my favorite sampler (Jessica Bailiff on the mighty important Kranky Kompilation), but the rest is very well worth hearing too. you'll hear some artists that we've played before (1m54, Bingo trappers, swearing at motorists), a few well known names (Gories, Khanate), and some rarities you most probably haven't yet, unless you're involved with one of these releases (Moon monkey, Cheree Jetton, Betty blood trio). and: put on your dancing shoes for the benjamin franklin classic. also: more than welcome on april 24th at De Koer.

Namaakkanttekeningen - march 22nd 2024
|
good times! our friends at De Kant invited us over for their bi-weekly radio show on Villa Bota. the first hour, we played tracks fro ma lot of morc-releases, and some non-morc-tracks from members of the family, old and new. we're also talking about the upcoming labelnight at De Koer, and play a track from an upcoming compilation. world premiere of this amazing Pefkin-song!
in the second hour, we move on to some favorites here at morc hq. some of those will sound familiar to regular listeners of morcfm, and we made sure to throw in an upbeat section. warning: banter is in dutch. recorded in a professional studio, so i was impressed by all those buttons. you can hear me start a track a wrong speed several times, and skipping through cds. it's all good. morc-family

Morc FM episode 34 - march 7th 2024
|
Quite a two-faced episode. we start with plenty of short songs: pop/electronic, lofi and a short punk section. 11 songs in the first half an hour, and then we play some loooong tracks. looking back at the tracklist: mostly names that i've know in some way or another since the early days of morc (ex-iditarod'ers fern knight & matt everett, gang wizard/minmae bandmember celesteville, possum moods feat jen turell, denis locar) and acts that i only got to know in the past few years (burger service, eyes of the amaryllis, haevner, kentataku yutataku, berlinde deman). and as usual: some favorites you probably already know (buck biloxi, carla dal forno, negative approach)

Morc FM episode 33 - februari 8th 2024
|
so, since the last episode, 'murder of maria marten' was stuck in my head. so: we're playing another version of this traditional - this time in the version of Ela Stiles. more music from the other side of the globe: we heard the great news that discreet music is reissuing a lovely midget album that we havent heard yet. so we start off this episode we a track from her flawless untitled 10". what a treat. New releases? yes: roy montgomery, ann eysermans and miradasvacas. we'll also tell you about the recent bonnie prince billy trip we've been on, and beg you for tickets to go and see cranes and the ex: marked in our calendars, but sold out before we realized it. huh.

Cosmofonia #52 - january 21st 2024
|
the kind people of the portuguese radioshow cosmofonia (on radar lisboa) dedicated a one hour special to morc records. i got to pick one hour of morc-related music. i picked songs from various morc-releases, but also songs by morc-artists from non-morc releases. you'll even hear a collab by delphine dora and roxane métayer, recorded during a show they did together last year, and an unreleased by ex-de portables and morc-regular Wio. it was a lot of fun to put together, and quite an honour.
so, technically not an episode of morcfm, but hey: since i got to pick which songs were played in this readioshow, thought i'd include it here on the morcfm-page anyway!

Morc FM episode 32 - january 11th 2024
|
during the christmas holiday, i first had to work, and then was a away for a few days (hi Amsterdam!), so almost forgot to put this episode together. surprising or not: we're playing quite a few long tracks in this month's episode, which we try to counter by starting with two very short songs by an artists you've heard here before, and no doubt will hear again. Also: Dengie Hundred is making a fast return on the morc-airwaves, just a few episodes ago we played another brand new track from this recent favorite. and one other new release that we're playing: a track by |grens|, who just released an album on the house of confidence that is Vrystaete. and: a few well known names (Meg Baird, Shirley Collings), Circaea might not ring a bell, but know that members are ao Ecka Mordecai and Andrew Chalk. Robert Pitcher on the other hand is a total enigma - cant find anything apart from this one compilation track, but would love to hear more.
