Nukli - Sometimes NUKLI are veterans of the golden age of free festivals. A time when bands were free to experiment with long flowing improvisations, developing a sound that matched the state of mind of the audience: spaced out! Mutating over the years, first into PSi NUKLI, with NUKLI eventually spinning off to follow a path that led to the landmark Time Factory release on Delerium records. The band took a sabbatical throughout most of the nineties, to work on the Hex Projekta ambient dub act. Now NUKLI are back, and sounding better than ever. With full-on psychedelic grooves, and soaring guitar .This track, an exclusive to magicatradio, has only just been recorded and can be heard nowhere else.The band have a MYSPACE SITE.

Akahum - D'Orror " AKAHUM is UNLIMBO's leaner little brother: Compact, more portable but essentially the same spirit. With a trimmed-down line-up, AKAHUM has gone back to a 'basic' drums, bass and guitar format and this takes the UNLIMBO sound down a slightly different road. Maybe we arrive at a very different place - that's for you to say." David Unlimbo is the Composer / Guitarist with AKAHUM and UNLIMBO. This track is new and exclusive to MAGICCATRADIO.
