Not Squares ' debut album Yeak OK comes out through Richter Collective today and the band's meaty electro-tinged punk sound has been fully realised with the help of The Vinny Club on production. Fans of the live show and the singles 'Asylum' and 'Aye Yo Pa' might be surprised but fans of 'Release The Bees' may not be. The Belfast band have pushed themselves fully into electronic freak out mode here and the result is yet another late contender for Irish album of the year. [...]

Not only are we giving you a lady-centric mixtape today, but we're also offering a label sampler from Ireland's finest independent label at the moment. The Richter Collective formed when two independent labels (Armed Ambitions & Popular Records) came together after a series of split label releases. The label is owned and operated by Michael Roe and Barry Lennon, two young veterans of the Irish DIY scene, one a drummer for Adebisi Shank, the other the singer (more agitated punk poet really) with Hands up Who wants to Die.

The Richter Collective VS Smalltown America 30th July, Docker's Pub, Belfast.
Gotta thank the people at egoeccentric for this one: "IDM"--or "Intelligent Dance Music"--is a hot little term; but no one has fought over it since the 90s, so let's use it in this little writeup, shall we? The Vinny Club is IDM for people who forgot it existed. Your Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada CDs are getting dusty, so here's a breath of fresh air: Join the Vinny Club: maispayse/thevinnyclub .
