Did ANYONE record the AMKS.LIVE stream?

At the end it possibly streamed BoC - one person who just caught the end said this:

"I only caught a very little bit of it before the cat interlude and then when I checked back in when they came back from the cat there were at least a few tracks that sounded like old psychedelia that reminded me of some of the stuff in the WXAXRXP mixtape. Not that it was songs picked by BoC necessarily, just similarly older, interesting music I didn't recognize. I eventually dozed off to some odd, slightly ominous ambient tracks. If someone did happen to record I'd also very much love to hear the whole thing!"

I do feel like no one really bothered to focus on this. Most of the people I saw talking about it was autechre fans, there was some odd ARG stuff surrounding this stream, so no one really knew about it before hand.

Where was it? It wasn't on that site that was discovered was it?

I would have totally tuned in otherwise.

What ARG stuff? I only found out about it because I saw a tweet from the SKAM account, but I didn’t see it until the broadcast was about 3/4 done.

Also, I was the one who wrote the description quoted by OP and I just want to be clear that I have no reason to believe the brothers were involved, I’ve just been a fan of SKAM since first discovering them through Boards back in ‘98 and the website not providing an artist name for the closing set obviously piqued my curiosity about the off chance that they’d pop up without fanfare. There wasn’t anything I heard that had “the BoC sound”, but as I mentioned there were a few tracks that reminded me of what they chose for the NTS mixtape.

They have a Facebook page that indicates a stream on the first Sunday each month. It’s weirdly as a “person” account rather than a group page, but it’s friends list includes Darrel Fitton, Rob Hall, and maybe Andy Maddocks as well as an account “Glink Glink” so this seems like it could be a new project from the extended Gescom collective.

I have the first half hour or so recorded. Stopped after though, it kept buffering which was really annoying to listen to. Hope they'll fix that for the next one:)

Here's two they played

I don't recall you ever telling us where you got that link from.

I created that reddit post after seeing a tweet with that link from the SKAM Records Twitter account, but it seems as though perhaps they’ve deleted it because I went to grab the link to post here and couldn’t find it. I wish it were weekly rather than monthly, but I’ll take what I can get.

It should be noted that if you inspect: https://amks.live

This line is at the bottom:
<meta name="description=" content="LIVE 360MINS 1800GMT FIRSTSUNDAY AMKS AMKS.LIVE RADIO">

If that still holds true, check back on October 4th.

Can we keep all amks.live chat in one place?
I really want to get behind preserving these broadcasts, BoC or not, the music Skam are presenting here almost feels lost to time.

I, for one, am enjoying hip-hop Sunday.

I didn't hear much of the stream yesterday, but it seems like it's mostly the same exact programming/songs today.
