Close friends Marco and Nathan share their extensive and ever growing knowledge of music, old and new. Their expansive and eclectic taste in music spans from 60's experimental psychedelia, to blues, to house and through to the most recent contemporary and experimental releases in electronic music.
Interesting chat compliments the deep and dark sounds that make up the bulk of Marco's music collection, whilst Nathan will surprise you with the creme de la creme of rare electric music.
Sit back, relax and let them take you, track by track, through the music that shapes their lives.

bof house
Tarantism // 02.02.12 // Tarantism 52 - BOF HOUSE
Tonight, Tarantism will be devoid of our voices on the mic... strictly vocal samples.
Behold a groovy, bassy mix of 100% pure 4-4 rhythms hailing from all forms of the music we know as 'House'. Recorded at our residency at the famed Bofhaus, the legendary music lounge/food emporium that also serves as Nathan of Tarantism's flat.
We played host to DJ Akela of Itch! (formerly Chungo of Itch!) and rode the flow with him for two straight hours, recording the mix in one take.
Enjoy.
"I aspire to mix like this one day."
- Richie Hawtin
"There's no place quite like the Bofhaus."
- Fran Healy, Travis
"Bof!"

gobbledygook
Tarantism // 17.11.11 // Tarantism 49 - Gobbledygook
This episode is dedicated to those song which simply make no sense. Some of these words have an underlying meaning, some are thrown into some kind of random assortment, and some... well... they just don't qualify as lyrics at all.
Moving from psychedelic to rock, and onward through to house and techno, this is an ode to apparent senselessness.

the intergalactic autobahn
Tarantism // 03.11.11 // Tarantism 48 - The Intergalactic Autobahn
In the morning...
You leave your little planet behind,
In your wooden space ship.
You turn around, say goodbye!
And travel into space...
Around dinner time,
You arrive at three rows of lights
That stretches indefinitely in all directions.
So, you stop there for a while,
Without realizing...
That you are, in fact,
Standing in front of...
The legendary...
