Spacin' - Total Freedom (Ritchie Records/TestosterTunes 2016)


Spacin' are a six-piece from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who have just released their second LP Total Freedom through Richie Records on 15th January 2016.


Within the space of Total Freedom's eight tracks, Spacin' craft an extremely raw, yet understand, style of 60s/70s rock and psychedelia that avoids any of the flabby excess of both genres. For instance, take opener Over Uneasy. Clocking in at 8:47, the track's length could have easily resulted in it becoming stale and overwrought. Instead the sextet hit upon and descend deeper and deeper into a groove until it is firmly rooted in your head. All in all, Spacin' have expertly knit a stomper of a record.

We'll be playing more of Spacin' on tomorrow's show, but for now you can check out a track from the band in our show from 16.12.2015


Why Have We Set Up This Site?


As some of you might know, Basement Scene is a weekly new music show on BCB 106.6FM that broadcasts from 8-9pm (GMT) every Wednesday. The ethos of the show is pretty simple: to support new and interesting DIY and independent music, and to do this in the most informative/least frivolous way possible, and for the most part it is an ethos we fulfill.

Yet there is always music that we want to support and promote that slips through the gaps due to the time constraints of only broadcasting once a week. So that's the reason we have up this page - to continue supporting and promoting the new DIY and independent music we love through another medium. However, this is not to say that music won't be featured on the show and the site or vice versa. We're lucky enough to have avenues with which to support things, and we're going to use both of them.

Our Twitter, Facebook and Mixcloud pages are the best place to keep up with any of our shenanigans, and you can find both of them below.
