Listen to our latest radio show with electronic duo Thool live in the studio

Featuring a 20-minute improvised synth jam.

Back in 2015, enigmatic duo Thool released a three-track 12″ on Bullion’s DEEK label. Taking several left turns on a journey through balearic soundscapes and acid basslines, it sets the tone for the duo’s latest release Total Nobrum – a mixtape (with 12″ on the way) out now via Don’t Delay.

Operating out of a home-made flight-case packed with synths, pedals, mixers and a Roland TR-707 drum machine, and playing live guitars and keys, the duo squeezed into the Soho Radio studio to lay down a wiggy 20-minute live improvisation.

Listen to the show, with VF Editor Anton Spice playing through a selection of the music that’s moved us in the VF office this month, including Yussef Dayes, Farao, Ouri and Thom Yorke, and check out Thool’s session from c.39 minutes below.
