This week's DIY Label of the Week is Bristol-based Black Acre Records
Maybe it's something in the water down there, but Bristol does seem to have a knack of producing cutting edge electronic music. Black Acre opitimises the Bristol attitude, not being afraid to challenge what already exists, and to go in new directions to chase unique sounds.
You only have to sample the Fantastic Mr Fox - Evelyn EP to realise you're in for something a little different. Raindrops by Blue Daisy and Anneka is another pretty heavy track, one of those perfect songs to accompany a midnight drive under some big city lights.
Listen to Huw's chat with label owner Ian about how it all began, and of course, find out what the favourite office snack is down there (maybe this holds the secret to Bristol's great music scene!).
