4-hour Double Feature! breaks/dnb
incl Parallax Breakz retrospective
live on NSB 7th May 2011

Unplanned double-length show this week… and boy did we fit a lot into it! 42 tracks in all, which is a very appropriate number what with Towel Day coming up. So what lies within?

Scroll down for the download link and tracklist, or read on…

First we round up the best of the latest releases and promos as usual, including a hot new pre-promo from Kwah (thanks man!) and some choice collaborations from VIM‘s new compilation celebrating their 100th release (congratulations on reaching that milestone, and big ups Greg and everyone else involved in this label which has been providing quality fuel for my radio shows pretty much since I started on Brap all those years ago!)

We then bid a fond farewell to Parallax Breakz, a name that will be familiar to all regular listeners of this show and indeed anyone on the prog/psybreaks scene. The man behind that name, Ukraine’s Alexander Zhikharev, is moving on to new musical pastures under different names, but we couldn’t let him go without a retrospective of some of the stack of great progressive and psychedelic breaks that he has produced over the past few years.

One of Alex’s future musical directions will be deep drum’n’bass, so for most of the (unexpected) second two hours of the show we went on one of QA’s semi-regular forays into that genre, bringing you some of the highlights of Med School’s eagerly awaited New Blood 011 along with more selections from the leading lights of intelligent dnb, starting progressive and getting pretty twisted by the end.

Enjoy!

Next show: Sat 23rd May, 19:00 BST, NSB Radio

Mix: Quexotic Cover for 601
live on NSB 3rd Apr 2011

I was away for my usual Saturday slot, so stepped in to cover for 601’s show on Sunday instead. A particularly squelchy selection of psybreaks and off-the-hook sickbeats if I say so myself, and showcasing some of the new artists that are giving away awesome tunes for free on Soundcloud at the moment, alongside the best of the current promos and releases…

Bend your legs when lifting this mix – it’s heavy!

Hot back-to-back action for you this week as Quextal joins Mishima at a house party. Someone kept feeding us tequila but I think we just about held it together… Mishima’s selections are this colour.

live on NSB 5th Mar 2011

Kicked off this week with some selections from the leftfield, the further reaches of trip-breaks that I don’t get a chance to spin very often, before moving to more familiar territory with the fattest progressive, psybreaks and electrobreaks of the moment…

Another chapter of Tales… this week featuring chunky rolling techno, blissed progressive, epic psybreaks and twisted psytrance in a slightly more compact show than has become typical for Tales, only slightly over 2 hours 🙂

No new promos came in this week, so I had to go shopping for once. This is the result: Sick basslines galore! An hour and a half of nasty, twisted psy-edged breaks, followed by half an hour of evil DnB. Please note that this mix contains basslines that are too obscene and depraved for innocent ears…

Brand new breaks alongside some lesser-known but worthy classics. How thoroughly Quexotic! Next show is NEXT WEEK 12th Feb, then I’m off for two weeks. Should be back to normal first and third Sats from next month.
