Cornershop present Beacon Radio 303 the third track of The Singhles Club introducing a new Cornershop collaborator, vocalist Rajwant.

Rajwant was introduced to us via Alison Wonderland of Damaged Goods Records and is our very own ample play photographer, who saw Rajwant play at a party laid on for Billy Childish.

This track is laidback in its Punjabi funk, creating a sound that is best described as where rural country roads meet the City.

Beacon Radio 303 is part of the respected Singhles Club – Club subscribers will get all 6 tracks each with a very special limited digital popadom – which for this release is a cut out and keep turban man mask for all your urban turban needs. Out on Monday 8 August.

For further information please contact: info@cornershop.com

Special Fuji Rock guest

Posted on by Tjinder

A while back we worked with Tokyo‘s Matsuki Ayumu – he did a mix of our WFRnR, & we mixed his In-June track.  Well in July on 31st we are very pleased that he will be joining us on-stage when we play at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.  Since Guigsy used to come on with us to play Lessons Learn’t we have not had anyone on stage with us, and we do feel lonely, and bored with each other.

Matsuki is a rising star who never seems to be out of the studio and we dig his youthful psychedelic soul, inspiration.  So much so, that we will be putting out 2 of his albums this summer – each of which is a double album, each of which melt modern rock at gas mark 11.
