Mix: Tales Of The Interstitial episode VIII:
live on PsyMusic 16th Feb 2010
with special guest Re:Creation

A real treat for you this month as it was my pleasure to welcome Adam Goodlet, aka Re:Creation into the studio for a full live psytrance set, followed by 3 hours of b2b mixing across the psychedelic genres in true Interstitial style. Many thanks to Adam for coming in. I hope you all enjoy the results as much as we did!

We were unfortunately struck by a couple of broadband dropouts – fortunately they occurred either side of Adam’s live set so that’s not interrupted, but it means the evening’s proceedings have ended up split into three chunks. Adam’s selections are in this colour (although all the psyDnB/neurofunk — from Chook & Phace onwards — is from my stash )

Special Guest for Tuesday’s Tales

It’s my huge pleasure to welcome RE:CREATION into the studio for Tales Of The Interstitial this coming Tuesday 16th February.

Adam Goodlet has been known for some years for his top quality psytrance productions as one half of EPHEXIS, but has recently been proving he can create psybreaks of equal distinction as the “Peak” in RMS & PEAK. Now under his solo projects ATOMIC SPECIES and RE:CREATION he’s continuing to push the psychedelic envelope across the genres… so a suitably Interstitial guest then Check out some of his productions over on the Re:Creation Soundcloud.

Tune in Tuesday evening from 7pm GMT, on PsyMusic Radio!

Mix: my last regular show for Void Radio:
live on BrapFM 7th Dec 2009

Super-Extended 5+ hour marathon!

So after about two years of doing Void Radio slots on BrapFM, I decided to draw it to a close so that I’m not juggling three shows. I’ve enjoyed the freedom that Brap gives to play any genre, and I’m grateful to them and Spoll/OutOfTheVoid for giving me a route in… but the number of listeners tuning in for live broadcasts has always been woeful. It provided me with a good, low pressure introduction to the world of net radio, helped me build my confidence on the mic, and garnered some enthusiastic fans like Mike and Angel, but now I have a show on NSB with regularly 200+ listeners, Brap’s single-figure listener counts seem pointless. I know many more of you enjoyed the archives, but hopefully by dropping the show I’ll have more time to produce promo mixes for the site instead.

So for my last show, I played a wide range of genres, and included plenty of classics and all-time personal favourite tunes. Since there was no show after mine, and I had support in the chatroom, I just kept going, and going… for over 5 hours. So bear in mind the archive is a lot larger than usual…

Mix: Live on PsyMusic 17th Oct 2009 (cover)

Hopped on to cover for Full Lotus’s show on PsyMusic, and ended up doing a full 3 hours of prog/psy flavours of trance, house, techno, breaks, Goa, and midtempo breakbeat. Genre slut, me, but you should know that by now. Back on the same channel this Tuesday 7pm BST with special guest LuQas, do not miss it!

Next show: Tue 20th Oct with special guest LuQas!

For next Tuesday’s Tales of the Interstitial on PsyMusic Radio, I’ll be joined in the studio by rising psybreaks superstar LuQas.

LuQas is Luke Trott from Brighton England. Born and raised in Bristol, he’s been into dance music since around 2000, where friends and family supplied him a constant feed of prog-house mix tapes. By chance he purchased an early Y3K album after spotting a Sasha track and has been into breaks ever since. Not satisfied with being a punter, he bought his first decks in 2001, promoted a successful Brighton breaks night in 2004 and now is rapidly finding his niche as a producer of deep techy noises.

He draws influences from many different genres, particularly psy-trance and techno, and his varied DJ sets reflect this. Now a resident at the awesome night Slackers Convention, he plays regularly to a loyal crazy crowd of Brighton revellers. You can also catch him on NSB Radio every Saturday night where he fronts the Slackers show alongside Pav and Toxic Shock. With tracks signed to Dead Famous, Yellowfinger Communications, Hardplace Records and Future Perfect, LuQas is starting to gain recognition internationally, with forthcoming gigs in Croatia and Prague.

Luke will be bringing along a sackload of full-on psybreaks, and yours truly will be keeping it interstitial with the finest fizzling 4/4s on the flip. Whatever that means.

In the words of my guest: “Rah!!!!!!” Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Mix: Tales Of The Interstitial episode II:
live on PsyMusic 1st Sep 2009

Take a deep breath in, and…..

psychill – wonky/glitchy midtempo breakbeat – hypnotic techfunk – claustrophobic darkfloor electro – minimal techno/tech-house (spooky/spacey – light/quirky – rolling/bassy – acid/bleepy) – tech-trance – electroglitch – skankin glitch-funk – heavy’n'dope – psylekdubstep – psylekdnb – psybreaks – psytechfunk – progressive psytrance – building and bouncy psytrance – trancey progressive hardhouse classics

It took longer to come up with the above description of last night’s musical journey than it did to transcribe the whole tracklist. I think I did it solely to demonstrate (to myself as much as anyone else) the futility of trying to try to nail down the genres I play, particularly in Tales Of The Interstitial whose stated purpose is to showcase the stuff that doesn’t neatly fit into named boxes. Half the above I patently made-up and won’t mean anything anyway, although if you’re bored you might like to play match-the-genre-description-to-the-tracks, and then I think you’ll find I’ve taken this pointless task very seriously. For all our sakes, I shall not bother doing so again. Instead, I have plans for potentially an even more bizarre but possibly also more useful way of describing my mixes for those who don’t recognise the tracks… ah the mystery, the suspense…

Aaaaanyway, it was another wicked show… thanks everyone for tuning in and egging me on.

I’ll try to add the label responsible for each release into my tracklists from now on alongside artists and titles. However it’s a total PITA because most of the time they don’t put that info in the filename or even the ID3 tag so I have to look it up… useful patterns may emerge from having this info about labels to watch, which will feed into my new watchlist, but if it seems like it’s not worth the time I may stop again. Or try to script it…

New show forthcoming on PsyMusic Radio!

Been a while in the planning this, but I’m delighted to announce that my new twice-a-month show on PsyMusic begins next Tuesday 18th August @ 7pm (UK), and thereafter on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. (Want to join a reminder service?)

The show is called Tales of the Interstitial (all the other PsyMusic shows have strange names, I didn’t want to feel left out…) and every fortnight we’ll be setting sail on a journey across the many faces of psychedelic electronica, floating effortlessly between psybreaks, progressive psytrance, psytechno and psychill, and particularly trying to find the lost chords in the spaces between… in the interstitial…

One of the significant differences between this show and the others that I’ve been involved with, is there’s no official finishing time. I plan to do at least 2 hours, but it may be 2.5, 3, 4… it all depends on you, the listeners, to get into the chatroom and bring your influence to bear! On PsyMusic the chatroom is called the ShoutBox and it’s on the forum front page (different to the main homepage of the site), or here’s a bigger version. You need to be registered on the forum to use it (registration is free of course). It looks and feels just like an IRC-based chat (like Brap or NSB), but apparently it isn’t really IRC so you can’t use your own client.

Together we will weave a journey… a story. Let’s make it epic.

Mix: Live on BrapFM 22nd June 2009 – 4 hour double feature!

I signed up for an extra BrapFM show this month and decided to spin some chillout in preparation for Sunday’s gig. But then found out that the DJ after my show needed cover. I said I’d carry on for a bit and switch the archives on when I got bored. I didn’t get bored!

So what we have here are 2 hours of chillout and laidback electronica, followed by 2 hours of my usual BrapFM mashup of breaks, techno, progressive house, psytrance etc.

For your convenience I’ve split the archive into these two discrete sections

WaxOnWaxOff @ Chesters, Bristol – Fri 6th Mar 2009

This coming Friday, 6th March, you can catch me playing at an excellent night in Bristol called WaxOnWaxOff, which takes place at a great little venue called Chesters on Frogmore Street. I had a wicked time at the last WO:WO (just as a punter) so I’m reallly looking forward to this one.

The music policy is a heady mixture of fat breaks and twisty psytrance, so of course I’ll be concentrating on psybreaks

Shimon (RAM/FingerLickin) is headlining, with support from Dexter Styles, Mishima and Tethis. It runs 10pm-4am and admission is only £2 b4 11, £4 after.

Hope to see you there
