Nuke Watch - Fusion [SGM013] "For their latest effort and first European tour, Nuke Watch returns with a record on Sagome, expanding into a trio formation with musician Zack Stafford on wind instruments and electronics, bringing together different strands of musical interaction and live experiences that occurred over 2024 in various legendary locations in and around NY, particularly WFMU, The Lot Radio, and LSD Studio, with added interlude-type segments contributed by Leonard King on guitar and Daryl Seaver on the EWI MIDI wind instrument. Somehow inspired by the vertiginous technical virtuosity of musicians and projects like King Crimson, Tony Williams, and John McLaughlin, Fusion transposes the genre’s passion for impossible key changes and whimsical compositional complexity to the realm of free-form, instant composition, becoming a document of NW’s group jam sessions and the practice of collective improvisation. Scant overdubs. With their distinct imagery and tone, Nuke Watch channels millenarist stoner anxieties and end-of-world visions, expressing it through the distinctive contemporary psyop mystique of nuclear threats, dead new continents, and psychotic breakdowns. Enter a wormhole of laid-back, demented prophetic cultures and somewhat poetic hallucinatory paranoias through magic staircases, war locks, swarm of bees, wireless bamboos and Trip-free relays. Whether you are a neophyte or a long-time initiate to the 'watch', welcome to the Fusion."

For the 16th episode of 400 Floor we talk to Aaron Anderson @aaron_anderson and Chris Hontos @chrishontos aka Beat Detectives @beatdetectives . Growing up in the cultural desert that is the small-town Midwest, they met at the oasis of Minneapolis in the early ‘00s. As fans of extreme music, they wondered what it would be like to make music that people could enjoy listening to and thus birthed Beat Detectives, a project which continues to flourish even after their move to New York almost a decade ago.
