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.

The first half of this show is dedicated to one of our all-too-rare forays into the world of deep drum’n’bass, starting with leftfield autonomic/progressive and gradually getting tougher and trippier; we then switch into psybreaks, and finish off with some tasty midtempo glitch. There’s some really beautiful tunes in here that I never normally get a chance to play, I urge you to check it out with an open mind.

One of our all-too-occasional DnB specials… focusing on the Offworld-style progressive vibe (with plenty from that wonderful label), this is optimised for a sunny afternoon, albeit with a little bit of growl towards the end…

live on NSB 4th Jun 2011

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.

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

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…

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…

We kick off with some choice deep, rolling, techy nuskool, highlighting in particular the excellent new Early Works EP from Lady Packa, before moving on through psybreaks and electro to a second half of tasty drum’n’bass selections: progressive, wonky, neurofunk and wobbly. Easy now. Next NSB show: 16th Oct, 7pm BST.
