Sorry for the delay on this one… took a while to sort out the tracklist! Plenty of chunky progressive in effect, along with psybreaks, melodic dark electro and more, and closed out with some lush chilled beats. This one going out to Mike. Next show: 18th May 2010 – ooh, that’s tomorrow! 🙂

live on NSB 10th Apr 2010

Just listening back to this one and frankly, even by my standards, it’s absolutely chock-a-block with awesome tunes, including a load of top-notch promos and unsigned tunes. Psybreaks and progressive breaks all the way this week, with just a cheeky little tangent into techno. There’s a couple of glitches in the recording unfortunately due to broadband flaking out (my only major peeve with darkice is that if it loses the network for too long, it messes up the spool to disk too… there’s no need! I’m changing over to butt soon so hopefully that won’t have the same problem…

Mix: Quexotic Cover for Ben & Lex
live on NSB 5th Apr 2010

Jumped on for a last-minute cover of the Beats & Bobz show for Ben & Lex. In deference to those legends of the Deep South West breaks scene, I aimed to replicate their show’s typical genre distribution (or my impression of it, anyway): roughly 65% breaks, 35% techno, and 110% megarave! There the similarities probably end… well, I just can’t do the West Country accent, moi lover 😉

Yep, I’m afraid it’s another four-hour double-Quex feature! I can’t help myself… I had kinda hoped that the extension might happen this week, because otherwise I’d have had to make very, very difficult choices as to which of the massive pile of superlative new tracks making my hard disk groan and wheeze under the sheer weight of their super-heavy dopeness, would be selected to be played straight away; and which would be sent back down into the dungeon in tears after learning that, through no fault or inadequacy of their own, but just because it happened to be a bumper couple of weeks for decent releases, and the DJ had caught a bit of Bank Holiday Fever and gone somewhat manic with his Crate, they must wait another fortnight, or pray for a cover slot to bring them out of the darkness sooner…

live on PsyMusic 16th Feb 2010
with special guest Re:Creation

A real treat for you this month as it was my pleasure to welcome Adam Goodlet, aka Re:Creation into the studio for a full live psytrance set, followed by 3 hours of b2b mixing across the psychedelic genres in true Interstitial style. Many thanks to Adam for coming in. I hope you all enjoy the results as much as we did!

We were unfortunately struck by a couple of broadband dropouts – fortunately they occurred either side of Adam’s live set so that’s not interrupted, but it means the evening’s proceedings have ended up split into three chunks. Adam’s selections are in this colour (although all the psyDnB/neurofunk — from Chook & Phace onwards — is from my stash 🙂 )

live on PsyMusic 19th Jan 2010

If you’ve been struggling to get through all the recent 4+ hour shows, you’ll be pleased to hear that this month’s Interstitial clocks in at a mere 3½ 😀 Although since I only just posted December’s, you may have quite a lot of catching up to do… 😉

Warning: it starts off very glitchy: I think I inadvertantly lost a few listeners in the first minute who thought there must be a technical problem. Oops. Nope, it’s just a weird intro track from P&G…

After the intro we kick off with two of my latest artist discoveries: dope crunky beats from Opiuo, and blissed out fusion sounds from The Nasha Experience. Then we go delving into the darker, glitchier side of psybreaks and electro for a while. That leads into some techy and progressive 4/4s, before we bring the breaks back on an epic trippy nuskool tip, throwing in some techno and tech-funk for good measure, and finally bringing you down gently with a more chilled dub-tech breakbeat vibe.

Big ups all the Shoutbox crew for their support, especially n0sS – another enthusiastic new convert to Quextal’s Radical Interstitialism 😀 See you next time!

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!

Mainly on a fat electrobreaks tip this week, with psychedelic twists of course, plus techbreaks, progressive breaks, some classic nuskool and a bit of NSB-appropriate techno. Big ups all chatroom crew, and congratulations to our competition winners TedV and P_Chill who each win a copy of the great VIMBreaks compilation CD Dig The Nu Breed 1 courtesy of V.I.M. Records.

Next show is this coming Tuesday 19th January over on PsyMusic Radio, kicking off at 19:00 GMT, opening the next chapter of Tales Of The Interstitial…
