Some of you will have noticed we’ve gone all out with the birthday celebrations this year with a some parties, the 8 Live Circuit Series and now we’re kicking of a whole new podcast series featuring some our favourite new producers and DJs. Welcome to Radio Magnetic’s New Sound.
To kick things off we’ve got an exclusive live set from Kingbastard. For some of you this will be a new name and for Herb Recordings fans that have heard his work before, this will be a rare wee treat. When we first listened to the new album “Tied Up To Machines” in the the studio we were blown away and new we had to hear more.
Kingbastard aka Chris Weeks creates blippy, choppy, 8 bit, jumping, happy, electronic, synth pop music with a cheeky dark side (you heard that here first). Or at least we think he does. He’s so far been compared to artists such as Thome Yorke, happy bits of Aphex Twin, The Flashbulb and for good measure we’ll throw in Wagon Christ (Luke Vibert) as well a smidgen of Daedelus. Not only is this man a fine producer but he’s also a talented artist producing much of his own album cover material. You check out his latest pieces on sale at kingbastard.co.uk.
So anyway here it is, an exclusive live set from Kingbastard to kick start the New Sound series and trust me this will grab your ears and leave you wondering why you haven’t heard the name before.

Excellent session! Perfect for doing random things at home whilst dancing around, thank you, and yes, I wonder why I haven’t heard the name before. V.
Great Mix! I was wondering if you have a tracklisting for the show?
This guy’s fantastic! I’ve got loads of his stuff and it’s so varied, from acoustic guitar to full on bleeps and squeeps! Let’s hear more of him, that’s what I say.
Kingbastard kicks arse! I’ve been into him since he was just known as Bastard. His new EP is great!
