Mix: Quexotic Adventures #043:
live on NSB 24th Sep 2011

Often when Quexotic Adventures is unexpectedly extended to 4 hours I flip over to dnb or crunk for the second half, but this one stays with the breaks all the way – but of course ranges widely within that genre from laidback chilled IDM to progressive nuskool to psybreaks to dark electro and more, raiding the crates for forgotten classics along the way…

Mix: Quexotic Cover for Beyond The Breaks
live on NSB 4th Aug 2011

Hopped on for an unplanned Thursday morning session to cover for Marty B. So we’re mainly on a melodic progressive breaks tip to suit the daytime vibe – a mixture of sunshine and clouds means you get doses of happy and melancholic – but a good dollop of squelch in there too.

(Sorry if the volume jumps around a bit – first broadcast on new headphones…)

live on NSB 23rd Jul 2011

Since last fortnight’s show was a glitch-crunk special I’d had a month’s worth of accumulated promos and new releases to get through on this show, so it’s nothing but the finest brand new epic progressive, trippy psychedelic, and twisted techy breaks (albeit with a nice little downtempo number to start, and a registered classic to finish…)

Next show: Sat 6th Aug 19:00 BST NSB Radio.

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

Kicked off this week with some selections from the leftfield, the further reaches of trip-breaks that I don’t get a chance to spin very often, before moving to more familiar territory with the fattest progressive, psybreaks and electrobreaks of the moment…
