Just for this month (July 2011), my NSB Radio show Quexotic Adventures will be swapping places with the Yellowfinger Variety Show, ie it will be on the second and fourth Saturdays (at the usual time, 7pm BST), then revert to the first and third for August. I have a hectic gig schedule in September so there might be other changes then – follow me on Facebook or Twitter to keep up with the latest.
So the revised dates are: 9th July; 23rd July; 6th August; 20th August.

Jumped on for a last-minute cover of the Beats & Bobz show for Ben & Lex. In deference to those legends of the Deep South West breaks scene, I aimed to replicate their show’s typical genre distribution (or my impression of it, anyway): roughly 65% breaks, 35% techno, and 110% megarave! There the similarities probably end… well, I just can’t do the West Country accent, moi lover

Big love to everyone who squeezed into the Hobbit for my set on Saturday; the place was heaving and it looked like everyone was enjoying it as much as me which is what it’s all about 
See you next time!
Anyway here’s my NSB show from last week… bring the breaks!

Mainly on a fat electrobreaks tip this week, with psychedelic twists of course, plus techbreaks, progressive breaks, some classic nuskool and a bit of NSB-appropriate techno. Big ups all chatroom crew, and congratulations to our competition winners TedV and P_Chill who each win a copy of the great VIMBreaks compilation CD Dig The Nu Breed 1 courtesy of V.I.M. Records.
Next show is this coming Tuesday 19th January over on PsyMusic Radio, kicking off at 19:00 GMT, opening the next chapter of Tales Of The Interstitial…

NB: Because there’s no talking, I’ve filed this under Promo Mixes as well as Radio Archives – but unlike the other promo mixes, it won’t fit onto an audio CD.
An extra rare treat for the first show of 2010… I lost my voice on NYE, so there’s no mic/talkover, I just had to let the music speak for itself… 
Also, as we were all still in the recovery zone from the New Year shenanigans, I pulled back the tempo and kept it deep, techy and rolling for the most part, gradually fattening up towards the end of course

Yes, my new show has a name! Thanks to everyone who sent in their suggestions, there were some great ones, couldn’t decide between them so went for something completely different
This week’s show featured some proper tripped out nuskool and epic progressive breaks of the style that got me hooked on it in the first place about 9 or 10 years ago (though these tunes are more recent!), some pslinkin psexy psybreaks, and for the final half hour, something that I hope to be exploring more in future, some twisting mind-expanding leftfield neurofunk-esque drum’n'bass. Oh yes indeed. Word.

Yes I’ve finally decided on a name for the new show… I wanted something that gave an idea of the principle without constraining me to specific genres. And unfortunately, once I’d come up with the pun on “quixotic”, it wouldn’t let go…
So, Quexotic Adventures continues this Saturday 5th December, 7-9pm GMT, on NSB Radio!
Here’s the (typically hyperbolic) show description…
Quextal leads you on an epic journey, flowing through space and time,
shapes and textures, landscapes and creatures, organic and alien – all
synaesthetically engineered from the finest quality
progressive/psychedelic breaks and other mutated electronic
soundforms.
So in the end I didn’t choose any of the names suggested by listeners, but one person in particular contributed many excellent suggestions and so has earned a prize anyway. Congratulations to BooMboxx… get in touch to claim

Still haven’t quite found a name for this show yet, but there were some excellent suggestions in the chatroom, especially from BooMboxx, so thanks for those — I definitely like the idea of getting some obscure Mayan references in there… but the competition is still open, so if you have an idea for what to call the show, get in touch and you could win a prize!
Anyway, many thanks to all who tuned in, and stayed tuned in despite glitches (trunk network maintenance which I had been warned about by my ISP, so hopefully this was a one-off).
