Featuring the sounds of experimental electronic ensemble’s brooding 1994 album Haunted Dancehall. The British group, made up of the late Andrew Weatherall, Gary Burns, Jagz Kooner and Keith Tenniswood, produced a textured sound world that straddles leftfield dub, ambient and techno. Meandering in nature whilst teetering on the edge of dance music and at times haunting, the album was the group’s second and penultimate release before splitting in 1996. 

Plus, a love letter to pre-coronavirus club culture in the form of punchy and metallic alternative pop, melancholic experimental R&B from America and chiming traditional English folk that sings of a robbery at the hands of pirates.
