Just a gentle reminder that tomorrow - Friday 6th March (Bandcamp Friday) - is when our next two releases will be added to our Bandcamp Shop for UK pre-order - delivery expected early April
DIT-080 Knorke 10" lathe-cut mini-LP
DIT-081 Mouthparts 7" lathe-cut single
I think it was Noddy Holder who said … “It’s Chriiiiiistmaaaaaaas” … so here’s the label’s latest lathe-cut 7” release: “Do You Remember Christmas?” by The Voltz - available in black or as a picture disc! #linkinbio #glamrock #powerpop #lathecutrecord #limitededition
The BBC sound engineers have worked their magic on our source material, and the hour long programme will be broadcast late tonight/early Thursday morning at 0000 hours on6Music and will then be available to listen to on BBC Sounds for around a month after broadcast.
I've been feverishly ripping/digitising tracks (from original cassette, vinyl, and CD), & together with author Jamie Taylor, recorded a few links – producing a sequence of tracks & chat which ended up as our @bbc6music.bsky.social Freak Zone Playlist for Ken Patten’s Studio Electrophonique.
A quick 'Thank You" to fans of BUG and DIMITRI who have been emptying our shop over the weekend:
DIT-077 "Tell Me When It's Over" 7" by Bug.
DIT-076 "Regeneration Breeds Regeneration" by DIMITRI
Both releases nearly sold out!

A few weeks ago, author & broadcaster Simon Strong dropped by at Do It Thissen Towers for a chat about the Sheffield music scene.
Our conversation was recorded for broadcast on a show which Simon co-hosts back in Australia (The Planet X show on 3CR Radio). Oh, and we played a few records.

Our little event at #UniversityOfSheffield Drama Studio to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of #CabaretVoltaire 's live debut on 13 May 1975 went down well. Live performance from #SynthClub, #Prangers, and #RussellHaswell. Look who turned up to chat with @danieldylanwray.bsky.social - Mal and Chris!
50 years ago today ... I was down in Guildford, but up in Sheffield, history was being made #CabaretVoltaire
... and @danieldylanwray.bsky.social will be in conversation with two very special guests. I'll be spinning Cabs-related tunes in the intervals! Check the details here: performancevenues.group.shef.ac.uk/event/50-yea...
A bunch of fans are putting on an exhibition at the University Of Sheffield Drama Studio (15-18 May). There'll be a live event with bands who are carrying the torch of the Cabs' ethos, to be held on Friday 16 May at the Drama Studio, featuring #RussellHaswell, #Prangers, and #SynthClub.
Big thanks to @marcrileydj.bsky.social for giving a mention to the forthcoming celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of the debut gig by #CabaretVoltaire (13 May 1975).

Been up in the Yorkshire Dales (Malham) to celebrate the 60th birthday of the #PennineWay
Would have been rude not to, having taken part in the opening celebrations on 24 April 1965 😁
Just finished reading the superb #StudioElectrophonique / book by Jamie Taylor #ColdTapFilms in one sitting - it’s that good! Now to listen to a few records/tapes with #KenPatten credit
Good times in #Todmorden at #TheGoldenLion with #MongTong
OK, who fancies popping over to #Sheffield next month to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first #CabaretVoltaire gig (13 May 1975)
#RussellHaswell, #Prangers, #SynthClub, and @danieldylanwray.bsky.social in conversation with special guests. I'll be spinning Cabs-related tunes as well.
Not sure that this one was down to me 🤔. Possibly Ben at Plastidisc? I did cut a 7” release of yours though.
