live on NSB 18th Jun 2011

I was in a more-than-usually adventurous and experimental mood going into this show… there’s nothing hugely far out, this is all still the breaks that you know and love, but a little different… tempo ranging more widely than usual, more unusual juxtapositions of styles and sounds… it’s good to have a session of Beating (Back) The Boundaries every so often…

with special guests Re:Creation
and Unconscious Mind(s)

It’s been a while but TOTI returns with a bang, joined in the studio by the dudes that are Unconscious Mind(s) and Re:Creation for an epic 4-hour b2b2b session of mind-bending psybreaks and psytrance, including many exclusive tracks forthcoming on their label Psychoactive Records. Huge thanks to them for coming along, and to everyone who tuned in live and got busy in the chatroom.

TOTI is a moveable feast at the moment, ie I don’t yet know when the next one will be, but more fabulous guests are in the pipeline… follow Quextal on Facebook or Twitter to be notified about the next show!

Tracklist key: Re:Creation; Unconscious Mind(s); Quextal Taste the rainbow!

A dubstep track to kick things off… yes, really, dubstep. I have a near embargo on the genre but I do break it on the rare occasions that I find something worth breaking it for, and I hope you agree that this track is worth it. The rest of the show takes the more usual course through the latest and greatest of psybreaks and dnb.

Tales Of The Interstitial returns TONIGHT
LIVE with special guests
Re:Creation and Unconscious Mind(s)!

It’s been a few months… so to mark the return of Quextal to Psymusic Radio, I’ve bagged not one but TWO special guests who’ll be joining me live at the Towers Of The Interstitial high-rise studio on Tue 14th Jun….

> > > RE:CREATION < < <
…returning for a second visit to these shores after rocking the show back in February of last year (gosh, has it been that long?) and rocking dancefloors up and down the land with his high-octane mind-blending psytrance and psybreaks.

And joining us for the first time, a man who in a very short space of time has established himself as one of the foremost psybreaks producers at large today (though rumour has it you might start hearing some psytrance from him at some point…)
> > > UNCONSCIOUS MIND(S) < < <

Together they are the evil geniuses behind Psychoactive Records, so expect plenty of EXCLUSIVE future tunes from that label, plus just generally some of the sickest psychedelic breaks and doof in the known galaxy.

DO NOT MISS THIS. Tune in live from 7.30pm UK time by going to Psymusic Radio and clicking on the icon for your player. Don’t forget to join us in the chatroom too, using the Chat link on that page.

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
