Mix: Quexotic Cover: Progressive Drum’n’Bliss Special:
live on NSB 31st Jan 2011

Covering for Beatmassa’s show, it was a beautiful sunny afternoon here in Southampton so I took the opportunity to pig out on delicious daytime DnB.

If you like this, don’t forget to check out Chilliquid Drum’n’Bliss if you haven’t already – by popular demand, there will be a followup to that one coming at some point… but in the meantime, here’s 2.5 hours of pure drum’n’bliss for your pleasure…

Oh, and a casual glance at the Label column below should explain why I’ve just gone and added Camino Blue to the watchlist…

live on NSB 29th Jan 2011

Stacks of promos on this week’s return of Quexotic Adventures following my house move, including two brand new labels that will be well worth keeping an eye on, Psychoactive and Logariddim, plus old favourites VIM, Dusted Breaks and Dead Famous. Psybreaks and progressive breaks all the way on this one… well, nearly all the way… 🙂 Plus first play of my new tune 😀

live on PsyMusic 30th Dec 2010

Hey all. Sorry this has taken a while to upload – I had the small matter of moving house to attend to! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this epic show. It’s almost entirely 4/4s, from progressive gradually accelerating to banging psytrance with just a couple of psybreaks tracks to keep you on your toes – including the exclusive forthcoming psybreaks monster from Re:Creation (big ups Adam!) 🙂

Keep an eye on my Twitter or Facebook page for news of the next episode of Tales Of The Interstitial…

Mix: Quexotic Adventures #027:
live on NSB 18th Dec 2010

Last scheduled NSB show of the year, so as well as this fortnight’s promos we looked back at 2010 with some of my favourite tracks, artists and labels of the year.

During the show I was struck by the quality of tunes that have come out on the new Ukrainian label Rune Recordings this year; in fact they pretty much immediately established themselves as one of the world’s finest imprints for progressive breaks, and as a result they have now been awarded a place on my watchlist. Keep up the good work guys!

This time around we started with something a little different, showcasing trippy darkfloor electro, mainly in order to play a whole load of Espion tracks I just downloaded. Nuff respect to Arnie Espion for making so many of his tunes available for free download! You can get them for yourself from the Hyperoctave Soundcloud
page, while stocks last!

After that, it was back to the breaks with, as usual, the cream of the week’s promos served up with the choicest cuts of progressive and psychedelic tuna.

Just one more NSB show from me this year, Sat 18th Dec at the usual time of 7pm GMT. I’ll be digging out some of my favourite tunes of 2010 and looking forward to what treats might be in store for us next year – new artists, new labels, new collaborations. Hope to see you in the chatroom then! http://www.nsbradio.co.uk

First Birthday
live on NSB 20th Nov 2010

QA is one year old! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we had exclusive tracks from Triple Agent and Re:Creation (thanks guys!), and I rummaged around for some of my favourite breaks tracks of years gone by to play alongside the current and future releases.

A little while after my show finished I went back on to cover as the next DJ had been called away in an emergency (hope all’s ok there AP), so there’s a little bonus mix for you below the main one.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the show over the past year, and special shouts to Mobius (for getting me onto NSB in the first place some years earlier), and LuQas (for giving me this peachy peaktime slot). For the coming year, I hope to have more guests, more exclusives, and of course to keep doing my bit to push things forward… NONSTOP TO THE FUTURE!

Next show: 4th Dec, 19:00 GMT, on NSB Radio
