Bristol-based Noods Radio are releasing their first vinyl compilation "NOOD5" to celebrate 5 years of worldwide, independent broadcasting. Although originally intended to be released last year on the ACTUAL fifth birthday it ended up being pushed to this year's 6th birthday, celebrate two birthdays with us.

NOOD5 features contributions from six friends of the Noods family, consisting of Berlin-based techno iconoclast Ossia, shadowy Bristol producer fresh from a highly acclaimed EP on Berceuse Heroique, Pessimist, Timedance affiliate Cleyra, Milanese sound experimentalist Katatonic Silentio, Rio underground lynchpin and RBMA graduate Valesuchi and a collaboration from Dekmantel's Epsilove and the elusive Ployer Flower.


The record is a confident assertion of the station's sonic ethos; filled with tense, dread- laden soundscapes that foreground the percussion and sub bass. Reverbs and delays are utilised in the true dub tradition, wringing out unconventional grooves from the negative space between the drums: it's music for the head and the body.

"NOOD5" will be available as a limited vinyl run of 300 and digital download.
