An introduction to TUNETOURIST

Welcome to the inaugural post of TUNETOURIST in which I’ll attempt to summarise the highlights of a frenzied month of record shopping around the world in places as diverse as Chicago rock temple, Reckless Records, minimal electronic bunker, Hard Wax in Berlin, North London’s acclaimed Desi emporium, ABC Music, and even South East Asian Gamelan specialists, Kharisma Records in Bali.

Along the way I hope to shine a light on new music which will be available to a greater or lesser extent to those resourceful enough to find it and also offer something relatively unique in the micro-specialised world of blogging: a truly rounded perspective on the world’s latest sounds.
