Bloody Forriner!

Oli and Lee, aka Forriner, will be no strangers to anyone who's read this blog before. Until recently perhaps better known by their individual projects, Last Waltz and Traela, they recently joined forces to create production behemoth 'Forriner' after meeting each other through their contributions to the Newcastle music scene.
They've since successfully released solo material on a number of well known label's like ESP Institute, Mule Musiq, Let’s Play House, Tusk Wax and Hhatri and after a slew of releases as 'Forriner' on Futureboogie and fellow Northerner Joff 'Man Power' Kirkwood's 'MeMeMe' imprint, the pair decided to start their own record label - Forriner Music.
However, it's not only magical production dust the pair have been showering us with, oh no, they've also been flexing their non-too shabby selector skills and dropping the odd mix or two on us as well! Following on from where the debut transmission 'The Bloop' left off, 'The Bloop 2' moves farther in the same direction, creeping through one cold landscape after another, always arriving somewhere unexpected. It's a soundscape which deftly weaves through spoken word and library soundtracks, and is just as comfortable rubbing up against French new wave, dub and 60's psychedelic pioneers like The Silver Apples. It's a wonderfully diverse set to get lost in so don't delay, throw you musical compass away!!
