The Last Day of NSB Radio:
live on NSB 16th Sep 2022

I was very sad to hear that NSB Radio, cornerstone of the breaks scene for many years and home of Quexotic Adventures for 100 episodes over 5 years, was closing down. Huge respect to Jimmy and Simon who kept it running all that time. It was a great privilege to be able to hop on the air one last time, like old times. So here we go, one last time. Big love to everyone who supported over the years.

5th birthday 8-hour epic!
with special guests:
Unconscious Mind(s)
Digital Fist
and Peak!!!
live on NSB 29th Nov 2014

With humble apologies for the length of time you’ve had to wait for this to be uploaded, I present the insanity that was the EIGHT HOUR epic 5th birthday show, with super-special guests Peak, Digital Fist, and Unconscious Mind(s) helping yours truly to celebrate in style, covering just about every genre from the “good” folder! I was going to split this up, but frankly I cba, and it probably works best as a single marathon session anyway… hope you enjoy it 🙂

Also, sorry the tracklist is a bit shambolic (ie completely absent for most of the guests’ mixes). It was that kind of a night 😀 I’m sure we can help you ID anything you need ID’d.

live on NSB 15th Feb 2014

The first half of the show is turned over to a bunch of new midtempo shizzles… the stuff that I call skanky glitch crunk, but everyone else now knows as glitch hop, including several from my new discovery in this field, Royal Blood. Then for the second half we have the pick of the breaks promos.

2nd Birthday Edition
live on NSB 19th Nov 2011

We celebrate 2 years of Quexotic Adventures in style by, well, doing what we usually do: bringing you the very finest and freshest progressive breaks and psybreaks promos, new releases and freebies… but as it’s our birthday, we’ll throw in a few exclusives too 🙂 – with massive thanks to Snook, Project Synthetic, and, er, Quextal 😀

Big big love to everyone who’s supported the show over the past couple of years, especially the chatroom regulars who spur me on during every broadcast with kind feedback, rude remarks, hilarity and randomness.

We continue…

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…

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
