live on NSB 3rd Aug 2013

Sorry I got way behind on the promos, been a bit hectic for a while… anyway, here’s the archive from the first of my two shows in August; starting off progressive but soon diving into the chunky psybreaks, with fat promos from Hedflux, Bad Tango, Dr Fish, Blazer, Retroid, Aural Abuse and more! And the closing track is an absolute classic…

VIM Records Special
live on NSB 18th May 2013

This week we’re paying tribute to the VIM Records label as they celebrate their whopping 200th release! VIM and its head honcho Grigoris “Greg” Savvidis have played a huge role in the ongoing development of the breaks scene over the past 6 years, keeping us supplied with a steady stream of quality releases, and probably doing more than any other label to seek out and promote new talent – many producers have had their first release on this label (including me!), and VIM’s eclectic music policy and willingness to experiment with and embrace new musical directions, has helped to ensure that it has been a mainstay of this show from the beginning.

So, by way of thanks, I dedicated most of the show to their current crop of promos and releases, plus a few older favourites, and contributions from sister labels Diablo Loco and Deep Garnet.

But I had to find time to squeeze in a few other top-notch promos, including a couple from Kwah‘s forthcoming EP on Broken Robot, Roboteknic‘s latest for the new Sub Element label… oh and EXCLUSIVE first play on the radio anywhere of an awesome new track by Big Mistake (mega thanks Toni!). (He’s done another one which is quite different and just as good but I just didn’t have time for it, watch out for that next month!)

Anyway, VIM Records, and Greg, in recognition of all that you have achieved and the huge support give to the scene, we salute you! Here’s to the next 200!

There’s a few new tunes but mostly crate-digging this week as I went in search of some lush progressive breaks for the first half, and top quality psybreaks for the second.

live on NSB 16th Mar 2013

For this show I was joined live in the studio by Southampton psybreaks warrior and professional beard wearer Unconscious Mind(s). I warmed us up with some suitably trippy tuneage, before handing over the decks to Darren who laid down a phat guestmix stacked with his own quality psybreaks productions 🙂

Special guest on QA this week:
Unconscious Mind(s)!

This Saturday 16th March, very special guest Unconscious Mind(s) will be joining me live in the studio for Quexotic Adventures, kicking off from 7pm GMT on NSB Radio.

Darren has been pushing psybreaks forwards in his uniquely melodic yet hard-hitting style ever since his first tune, FD Psybreaks, which was signed to Ayra after they heard it on this very show, way back in 2009 🙂 A slew of originals and remixes have followed since, including the album Broken Dreams of Euphoria which he released for free on Psychoactive Records.

Don’t miss this live guest mix featuring exclusive new tracks…

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.
