The ‘New Wave’ moniker covers an expanse of styles that would probably be best represented by a diagram depicting rainfall (representing: subgenres) over a large, undefined area of landmass (representing: aforementioned genre) within the planet we presume to own. To narrow down this amorphous projection involves one of these musical offshoots (see above) that unsurprisingly […]

We’re a curious bunch here at Silent Radio and decided it was time to start scratching that itch, so we asked Mav Karlo – also known as Menno Vertseeg, founder of Royal Mountain Records – what his favourite piece of music making equipment is. This is what he told us: What is it? It’s a […]
