Since its first release in 1982, Touch has created sonic and visual productions that combine innovation with a level of care and attention that has made it the most enduring of any independent company of its time. In these two shows for dublab, Mike Harding talks about the history and development of Touch and then plays material from its extensive archives.

Touch has consistently released some of the most far-out and high quality experimental records of the past 30 years. Artists such as Philip Jeck, Fennesz, Jim O’Rourke and Biosphere have created stark, beautiful masterpieces alongside the visionaries in charge at Touch. We were blessed to have Mike from Touch come onto A Noiseful Joy and Elevation Through Sound during his stay in Los Angeles and give us insight into the foundation and preservation of this curatorial force. Join Jake Viator and Egroeg for 2 hours of insight, tunes and some previously unheard Touch-related releases, followed by a set on Ale’s Elevation Through Sound. More at touch33.net
