live on PsyMusic 15th Sep 2009

I was very tired after the shenanigans of Waveform, so really appreciated all the people in the shoutbox keeping me going 🙂 So a simple progression this week, techno-progtrance-breaks-dnb with heavy side orders of glitch…

Mix: Live on Brap FM with Digital Fist 7th Sep 2009

Many thanks to my guest Digital Fist for bringing his unique blend of deep and dark glitchy and hypnotic breaks and techno to tonight’s proceedings. He’ll be back (in the meantime, if you need more glitch to sustain you, I recommend picking up his latest mix, it’s a corker). And a big shout to all the listeners and chatters, record-breaking numbers of both 🙂

Special guest on next Monday’s BrapFM show

I’m delighted to welcome a very special guest to my Void Radio show on Brap FM next Monday who goes by the name of DIGITAL FIST. He and I met at Glade this year, and discovered that our tastes in epic triptronica were uncommonly well-aligned.

Digital Fist is a missionary for the music he loves, with infectious passion and a deep sense of the aesthetics of mixing for journeying, which has clearly been well honed by his years on the Welsh party scene.

He describes his chosen specialisms as “elaborate percussion, wall-destroying basslines, and darkly atmospheric precision machine-funk”. Some other words that spring readily to my mind are: brooding, hypnotic, glitchy, metallic, wonky, evolving, deep and dubby, dark shadows and delicate beauty… and of course, epic.

Expect synergy.

Tune in to Void Radio with Quextal b2b Digital Fist from 8pm UK time this coming Monday 7th Sept. Sign up for a reminder, you don’t want to miss this one. Trust.

NB NB NB! The URL for the Brap FM stream has recently changed. If you are using a pre-saved link, please update it to the first one of these that works for you (try them in this order): http://stream.brap.fm / http://87.117.250.5:9120/listen.pls / http://87.117.250.5:9120/.
The chatroom hasn’t changed.

I’ll give the final words to my guest:

Music is mathematics. Keep it polyhedral.

Mix: Live on NSB 10th Aug 2009

My occasional series of late-notice covers for random NSB DJs continues… this time I was standing in for JoeBot. His normal tune selection doesn’t have a lot of overlap with mine anyway, so I threw caution to the wind and, alongside some beautiful progressive breaks to lull you into a false sense of security, went through some styles of breaks that don’t seem to get much airing on NSB: deep hypnotic, progressive acid, chopped-up glitchy, growly electro zap… a quick dip in the funky sea of midtempo glitch-dub in the middle… and other stuff that Addictech might categorise as “Heavy” and “Dope”.

It seemed to go down well. For most of the show NSB was the most listened to breaks netradio station in the world, with about 30 more listeners than DI Breaks. Might have happened before but I’ve never seen it. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and all those supporting in the chatroom.

Very special thanks to Mike Metacognition – a good number of the tunes played tonight were introduced to me by him. The man has outstanding taste, so I plan to get him along as a guest on a future show. Respect. Ahh Yeh.

Thanks also to Ian @ Dead Famous for the fine promos.

Evidently the 4-hour stint on BrapFM wasn’t enough, cos the next day I jumped on to cover for Wax Equestrian on NSB! Not the full 2 hours this time, by the time we’d played paper-scissors-stone to decide who was going to cover… Greetz to the chatters 🙂

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 🙂

Massive shouts to all those who passed through the chatroom at various points during this marathon session, you kept me going 😀

Covering the Mobius Trip once again, we started with some deep and epic prog-electro-psy breaks for the first hour or so, gradually beefing it up into full-fat electrobreaks and a dose of proper psy-side psybreaks, with Doctor Who to finish, and why not? Wicked promo action from V.I.M.Records too – congrats to Disco Patrick who won a stack of V.I.M promo CDs in our competition (and shouts of course to Pale Penguin from V.I.M for the goods themselves!)
