Andy will be joining Liz Kershaw on BBC 6Music next weekend to talk about Kraftwerk and their influence on OMD.

The show will be airing on 4th Feb at 1pm. More information is available here.

I just bought a Korg Monotribe!
You know the one, it’s basically a Monotron with a simple drum machine and an onboard sequencer.
Remember the Monotron? Single Oscillator, with a Korg MS-20 filter, and a wacky “ribbon controller” for a keyboard. I’ve had one for ages and it makes some seriously weird noises.

I’d been keeping an eye out for someone to drop the price from the usual £165 + delivery. Finally, someone did. Incidentally, they have another TWO for sale HERE if you’re interested..

Anyway, I’m going to investigate making some tracks with it when it arrives, which will be a TOTAL change from my usual all-VST setup..



Monotribe on eBay:

There are still some VIP tickets remaining for the John Foxx And The Maths show at the Haunt in Brighton on Friday 24 Feb. The John Foxx And The Maths set will run from around 8.30pm until 10pm, so there’s time for people to get home (including a train back to London). This show will be the only UK gig for at least a few months as John, Benge, Hannah and Serafina are all busy working on a number of different collaborative and solo projects. You can buy VIP tickets for the Brighton show HERE

Gazelle Twin is a special guest for this show, following her appearance with John Foxx And The Maths at XOYO, London last year. She also recently remixed ‘A Falling Star’ from the Interplay album.



John will be a guest on Radcliffe and Maconie’s show on 6 Music next Tues afternoon (31 Jan).
