Wed 24th June NUKE WATCH, WORMHOOK, 12th ISLE DJS... on sale now! 👽
Nuke Watch is a New York based collective that specializes in a blend of free-jazz fusion and textured polyrhythmic Fourth World propulsion. The long running friendship and psychic connection of its founders Chris Hontos & Aaron Anderson (aka Beat Detectives) enhance their signature ritualistic rhythms, mutant modular synthesis, nimble keyboard runs, vibrantsampling and unidentified skronk.
“The duo of Aaron Anderson & Chris Hontos sustain a remarkable run of releases since 2020 that has run rings around the DIY underground imagination, variously proving their mettle in live and studio settings, and neatly distilling the psychedelia of previous, cult project Beat Detectives in fluidly groove-driven modes that effortlessly enchant heads and snag hips.“ - Boomkat, 2024.
They have released records on The Trilogy Tapes, Post Present Medium, Patience/Impatience, Commend/RVNG and Moon Glyph.
Nuke Watch's new LP "Fusion" will be released this June on

“This was a good one...NUKE WATCH LP from Impatience” Eye (Boredoms), 2024.
“Frazzled synth virtuosity, textured sampledelia and mulched electronics take porous influence from all corners, from gamelan to Raï, Saharan strings, and Japanese classical court music, but lysergically morphed into a properly absorbing, if elusive, sort of instrumental storytelling” - Boomkat, 2022.
Wormhook is mostly an improvisatory, channeled project, mostly dictaphone + phone recordings of vocalised first takes, devotionals, Prayers laments and social/spiritual commentary. where sparse and repetitive features of the everyday sonic background to austerity Britain smash together with naive instrumentation throwing up a non linear array of semi coherent multitudes.
12th Isle co-founder Fergus Clark will be DJ-ing between the live acts, he runs a monthly NTS session NTS session through chaotic record shelves, tascam nightmares, label related tracks & unreleased music.
