Richard Fearless presents Metal Box, broadcast from his shipping container studio situated on the peninsula of land between the River Thames and the River Lea in London’s East End. Fearless’ career as a DJ, founder of cult band Death in Vegas, and head of the independent label Drone have cemented Fearless’ reputation as a diverse maker and renowned digger. Expect a deep love of underground electronic music, with Fearless in the mix and the odd guest stopping by.

On this month’s Metal Box, Richard is flattered to have mix from Naum Gabo. Naum Gabo are Jonnie Wilkes (Optimo) and James Savage.

“Contained is an hour of music chosen for Richard’s Metal Box transmission by Naum Gabo (James Savage and Jonnie Wilkes).

Selected and blended in one take, the tracks are by artists we jointly love – for example, artists like Klaus Schultz, Richard H Kirk, Steve Reich, Mika Vainio, Nine Inch Nails. Regularly referring to these artists in conversations around our own work, wondering about their process, breaking down their sound – it was cool to put a few of them together on a recording like this for radio and to incorporate our own music alongside too.

After the initial recording, we ran the mix through the desk again at the studio and used some of our favourite effects to amalgamate what might seem to some as a bizarre hotchpotch of music! Hope you enjoy the show.” Jonnie / James
