100418 ep. 11 w/ Dora

Got back from the holidays with a bucket of new tunes, including Workshop Records's latest offering plus new discovery Gonjasufi, who's debut album "A Sufi and a Killer" was released last month on Warp records, with production credits to The Gaslamp Killer. Speaking of Warp, also included a preview of Flying Lotus's upcoming album "Cosmogramma" set to drop May 3rd.
Dora Ma took over during the second half, blowing us away with a full hour of heart scrambling drum, bass and subliminal cuts from the sweetest ethers of the underground.

100321 ep. 10 w/ Fabian

Back to back tracks from Fabian and myself, surprising each other as we rolled along. Started off chilled then broke the beats and synthesized inner space. Featuring tunes by Imperial College alumnus Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher and current final year student Ruskin Constant aka Shayken, shattering any preconceptions of our student body as dead-end scientists and bankers.

100314 ep. 9 rocking this joint in an old school way

For this episode I was joined by Afonso Almeida (also known as Fonzy; not to be confused with The Fonz) who studies violin at Trinity College of Music here in London. We kicked it old school with a fine selection of contemporary classical music from the late 19th and 20th century. Including a movement from Bartók's banned ballet The Miraculous Mandarin and a special edit of Stravinsky's Rites of Spring, culled from 146 cuts from a dozen different recordings of the original piece. A statement in minimalism protesting against the overdose of remixes and 'edits' (dub edit, jungle edit...) flooding current electronic music. Some challenging pieces and some aural manifestations of beauty, all intoxicating.

100307 ep. 8 riding the electron wave

Like ep. 2, ep. 8 takes us on a trip through electron clouds and cerebral currents, letting the sound separate us from the vapid everyday. Playback only recorded the first hour but things kept rolling until after midnight with some serious minimal techno following the sublime Kassem Mosse tune from his last Workshop contribution and somehow followed by Messiaen's "Catalogue d'Oiseaux" and ending in a free-for-all jazz frenzy. Don't ask, it just happened!

100228 ep. 7 Channeling the Spirit of Jazz, vol. 2

Second instalment of the Channeling the Spirit of Jazz series with co-host Jérémie Coullon. Starts and ends under futurist inclinations while the rest of the show dusted off a few iconic figures, painting jazz under no rules. Also, a look at a bassist who blew me away at the Cafe Oto recently, Guillaume Viltard (pictured below), who's last album "Running Away" was released by http://unrevenu.free.fr/ last summer. Jérémie's contributions brought us the digital artistry of the Somnambulist Quintet and the fresher than fresh Electro Deluxe.

100214 ep. 6 with George!

It was a lot of fun compiling the tracks for this show as most of the bands on here I came across when I was around 14 (thanks epitonic.com for existing!) and getting more into guitar. In a sort of post punk math rock (very inventive pigeonholes there haha) vein... George (my ex-neighbour in Tizard haha) brought some genuine face melters to finish it off and as usual I stayed in the studio for 'after hours' sessions playing a few things you won't find on the playback ;) but anyway, you can listen to the rest again directly via http://www.icradio.com/replay/226472 (stream)

100207 ep. 5

Shorter affair this time around. Planning on sticking the shows on CDr's to pass around to friends, family, stray cats and extraterrestrialites. Things kept rolling live though but wandering into somewhat dubious territories and playing a few requests. Off the record. Hear the rest again via http://www.icradio.com/replay/226448
