Polytechnic Youth

More images

Profile:	A part time label run from home in Crouch End, North London. Inspired by a love of key era 1978-82 DIY minimal synth, early Mute, Transparent Illusion, The Magits, the Sheffield electronic scene, John Bender, Krautrock / Berlin School etc etc... Self distro'd and vinyl only, the label mixed its releases between timed, small run lathe cut pressings and larger widespread releases that shops all stocked. Label head Dom's love for private press \| DIY \| handmade packaging was key to look and feel of the label. Operational between 2014 and 2022, Dom previously ran Earworm and The Great Pop Supplement as well as Deep Distance and more recently Feral Child; a new one off PY release is being readied for early 2024, after that? who knows.... sporadic twitter at: @polyyouth www.facebook.com/polytechnicyouth Instagram: @dom_feralchild

Does anyone know anything of the 9-piece jigsaw Polytechnic Youth issued at the same time as PY118 and PY119. I know it was offered to those who bought the two 7"s but I cannot find out anything about the jigsaw! I also know that there were only 100 of them.

Further to the statement in the label biography at the head of this, Gideon Coe at BBC Radio 6Music was not the only radio DJ to heavily support Dom Martin's labels through the years, I did too. I have a show (Pandora's Box Of Delights) on allFM 96.9 locally in Manchester, UK, which also broadcasts on the internet (allfm.org) and I have played at least 80% of what Dom Martin released - and still DO play them on air.

A bit of credit here and there would be nice.
