Norelco Mori on Patreon
Norelco Mori is now on Patreon.
If you like the show and work I put in to each episode, why not show your support with a small recurring contribution? Patreon is an easy way to help support the the people who create the work you love. You can show your support for as little as a dollar per episode.
I've been putting this show together for about 4 years now. During this time, I've had the pleasure of receiving hundreds of cassettes from all across the world, meeting and connecting with labels and artists I might not have ever had the opportunity to cross paths with. I've also been privy to a lot of music I might not have ever heard if it wasn't for this show.
Producing an episode of Norelco Mori is a considerable amount of work. But, it’s not about me. Support for Norelco Mori not only gives you, the listener, an opportunity to discover more more new music, it also gives artists worldwide the chance to reach more listeners. And context is key in all this. Anyone can release music these days. It’s been that way for a while. But with streaming taking a big bite out of downloads and algorithm-based playlisting becoming the norm it’s hard to discover new music that isn’t existing simply to penetrate the mainstream.
62 episodes in and I feel like we’re just getting started.
Curation takes time. Your support gives me time the time necessary to produce new episodes and provide a platform for experimental artists worldwide. With your help, we can continue to foster creativity and provide an stable outlet for experimental music.
Your support means the world to me.

Win a KORG Monologue from Norelco Mori (UPDATED)
You could be our next unlucky listener and the proud owner of a brand new KORG Monologue.
If you don't know, the Monologue is an analog-voiced monophonic synthesizer with a 16 step sequencer, unique wave folding capabilities, custom scales and presets created by Aphex Twin. These are a lot of fun, hugely versatile and I use one myself.

Limited Interest Winter Batch 2017
We are proud to present to you, 2 new cassettes from the likes of HAINBACH and SHASTA CULTS.
LIMITED INTEREST: WINTER 2017
LTD- 4: HAINBACH - CELLO PATTERN
Absolutely stunning C50 from Berlin's Stefan Paul Goetsch. Spacious and restrained, there is an eerie yet playful vibe to these organic, folkloric passages. Ivory cassettes, in an edition of 100.
LTD-5: SHASTA CULTS - ARGUMENTS FOR TRIVIALISM
Captivating ambient / drone C45. Highly detailed textures and washes of color in a matte white cassette. 100 copies.
Also, for those of you who missed out on our last batch, now's your chance to catch represses of both DELIBLE and KARL FOUSEK's recent releases, both with new artwork.
LTD-2: DELIBLE
This self-titled cassette sees founding Jane's Addiction member, Eric Avery, explore less traditional sonic territory with modular synthesizers and some pretty gorgeous effects chains. Second edition. 100 copies.
LTD-3: KARL FOUSEK - ONE ANOTHER
New solo work from montreal's Karl Fousek, who has sold out several stellar releases on Denmark's Phinery Tapes, Canada's Adhesive Sounds, and most recently, his collaborative effort as Fousek / Hansen / Tellier-Craig for LA's Spring Break Tapes. Second edition of 100 copies.
All tapes are lovingly dubbed in-house, in real-time on chrome cassettes.
Orders go up tonight. Tapes ship within 14 days.
Top 5 Tapes: 2016
Another year starts to wind it's way down, and again, our attention turns to reflect up on the previous months' releases. There were quite a few that really stood out for me this past year. Several albums required a resting place in close proximity to my decks. These 5 cassettes are the ones with the most wear.
- Tim Gray - Sandstone (Ethernet Music).
Hypnotic and addictive synthesized ambient pieces that bring to mind the classic, Selected Ambient Works Vol. II. Copies of this tape are, oddly, still available.
- Joel Danielsen - Lines Of Withdrawal / The Possibility of Resonance (Total Black).
I had the rare opportunity to play alongside Joel a new years ago. I played, in my mind, a terrible set that evening and that was even before he took the stage. His performance that night was elegant and showed much restraint. Like that performance, this cassette exemplifies the close attention he pays to every detail.
- XAKATAGAWA - Vol. 2 (Nostilevo).
This tape is described as "Ambient delirium disintegration playing very far away, under water, or from behind walls." by the label, and I'd say that's apt. Nostilevo fails to mention just how haunting and punishingly sad the tone is overall. Highly recommended.
- Grozny Penthouse - The Death Of Objects (Muza Muza)
Minimal reptition. Heavy and deafening techno from Newcastle Upon Tyne artist Grozny Penthouse.
- Cinema Perdu - A Perfect Negative (Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere.)
This double CS clocks in at just under 2 hours of music. Field recordings and manipulated classical music used as source audio for this beautifully negative collection of work.
