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.

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.

Starting with something different this time – a bit of a downtempo wobble-glitch kinda ting, a bit of glitchy psydub and mind-expanding midtempo, and then onward to the tech-breaks and psybreaks.

Next show is the Quexotic Anniversary special – 4 years and counting! This coming Saturday 16th Nov 2013, 7pm GMT, on the mighty nsbradio.co.uk!

Glitch-Hop / Glitch-Crunk special!
live on NSB 9th Feb 2013

It’s been nearly 2 years since the last time we rocked out on skanky glitch crunk. Since then, the genre has massively taken off, although despite my best efforts the world seems to have settled on the name “glitch-hop” for it rather than “skanky glitch crunk”. I tried. Anyway, clearly long overdue, here we go again with the throb-wobble basslines, broken-beyond-repair beats etc… but this is Quextal, so watch out for unexpected moments of strange beauty in this twisted trip.

Skanky Glitch Crunk special!
live on NSB 9th Jul 2011

It’s been far too long since I infected your eardrums with the genre that I (and probably only I) like to call skanky glitch crunk, so I went shopping at Addictech and we rolled with the funky, wobbly, squelchy midtempo vibe for most of the show. The chatroom showed their love for the sounds, and I only managed to play about a third of what I bought, so you can probably expect more crunk to pop up at random intervals in future shows 🙂 Had to shoehorn some psybreaks onto the end as I needed to play some killer promos and, of course, to spin my own little tune in celebration of it finally being released 🙂
Special thanks to Mouldy Soul for sending over some of his fresh new squelch, and Spectral Theory for rising to my challenge to get his new tune finished in time!

live on PsyMusic 20th Jul 2010

This month started with a quick tour of midtempo, gentle into glitch-crunk, then switched into psybreaks, but most of the show was given over to the stack of great journeying chunky progressive I’d just bought… with a bit of minimal / tech-house to wind down. Big shouts to all the chatroom crew 🙂

with special guest Digital Fist

Welcoming the mighty Digital Fist for a return visit to a Quextal guest slot but his first on NSB, showcasing his specialist subjects of glitchy electrobreaks, deep-diving dubbreaks and techsteppin’ dnb, alongside your regular Quextal diet of crunky midtempo, twisted neurofunk, and all breaks progressive and psychedelic. Mr Fist’s selections are in this colour.

It’s a long one again I’m afraid 🙂 There was a no-show from the next DJ so we carried on… Unfortunately we had to interrupt proceedings for an outside test broadcast, hence the mix is split into two parts…

Big ups all chatroom, and thanks to the two Misters, Mirra and Snook, for providing quality fresh unsigned goodies: Snap ’em up, label piranhas!

Sorry this one took a while… way back in the mists of time before New Year’s Eve, we took a 4 hour epic voyage through breaks, techno, glitch crunk, progressive and dnb, all with the trademark trippiness of course!

Another epic extended show… I carried on past the end of my allotted 2 hours as someone was supposed to be covering the next show but had said he might be a little bit late. In the end he didn’t turn up until nearly the end of that show, so I ended up doing the full 4 hour double feature. Download this mix, and the recent 5+ hour BrapFM marathon, onto your mp3 player, and you’re equipped with enough first-class choonage to survive almost any journey. Except maybe Eurostar.

Here we’ve got mostly my intoxicating special blend of the fortnight’s finest new releases and backcat discoveries in psybreaks, progressive breaks, neck-tingling nuskool, electrifying electro, twisted tech-breaks… and our first tentative foray on NSB into something that could be described as techno (but it’s Robosapiens so it must be ok). But just for shizzles, around the halfway mark as a kind of interlude we go on a brief tour of some classic oldskool hardcore and jungle techno from 1992-1994ish. This section doesn’t exactly fit with the flow to either side… hopefully this lump of strange-sounding foreign material is sufficiently colourful that you won’t find it too obtrusive…

Lots of hot promos and demos this week – thanks to all those labels and artists who sent them. In particular, thanks to unsigned artists Cannabinoid and Unconscious Mind(s) for allowing me to display their wares. I’m very interested in supporting other unsigned acts in this way… assuming I like your sound of course! Think you’ve got something I need to hear? Hit me up.

Next show: Sat 2nd Jan 2010, 19:00 GMT, NSB.

Happy Yule/Saturnalia/Hannukah/Christmas/Cashmas/WinterFest… and here’s to more odysseys in 2010 🙂

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…
