Vitamins // 01.02.12

With the pyramids and diamonds of New Year fading into the sunset, it's time to get the ball well and truly rolling for 2012 with a residents only radio special. No themes or set genres, just Shaun & Sam on the decks, playing new and forthcoming material picked up in the past 4 weeks as well as favourites that always seem to sit at the top of the crate.

With February shaping up to be our busiest month so far we'll be revealing more details of our upcoming parties, shows and dj spots.

no sleep f/ guest mix from zoo look

No Sleep // 17.02.12

This week we shall be having a look at a trio from down south, 'Zoo Look'. First we shall be looking at some of their production then moving on to an hour mix from the boys! Here is a short bio:

-Zoo Look-

After years of friendship and DJing together Sam, Alex and Craig aka Zoo Look combined forces in 2010 through a mutual love of house music. Their first release ‘Holdin’ On’ was a great success after being picked up by Defected side-label Tenth Circle. The reception for the debut EP was extremely positive and this got the ball rolling very nicely for things to come, including the follow up releases on Kolour LTD, Sccucci Manucci, Tusk, More Music and many more to be announced, things are looking good for Zoo Look’s future. Now with the focus on deep house (their original true love) you can expect to hear a very different side to Zoo Look over the next few months.

have some faith in the red room

The Red Room // 31.01.12

On this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed a myriad of subjects, ranging from our love of the art-form known as the sitcom, how we would survive on a desert island, and our disdain at the book-repurposing movement.

We also discussed what our lives would be like if they took place inside a movie, reminisced about horrible train rides we've experienced, and expressed our annoyance about YouTube and Google Plus.

Also, since this week's show marked one year since we began putting on gigs, we took the opportunity to begin promoting our first gig of 2012: Tangles, theapplesofenergy, and Left of Venus at The Old Hairdressers on Wednesday 22nd February (tickets).

This week, we bring you an exclusive mini-mix from the French-Tunisian electro-funk producer Kool Clap, who came to our attention after participating in Red Bull Music Academy 2010.

This week Hanlo intros with some UK Garage and Bassline cuts including DJ Q, Dexplicit and Horsepower. Then Deckard takes it into deeper territories before they get into a B2B of good old 140bpm stuff.

freezing fridays fleeing from me

kaleidoscope // 05.12.11

The girl with kaleidoscope eyes allows dreampop sensation Friends to illuminate her feelings in this episode. 'Friend Crush' signals the beginning of a pick-me-up from snowy Glasgow, that really comes to the fore in the half hour 'Tough Lately mix'. Here comforting thoughts are layered with washed out synthesised beats from Class Actress to Cadillac.

The tracks throughout channel whistful longing and blissful nostalgia from Crystallin's 'Motorcycle Girl', Sufjan Steven's 'Chicago' and the forever resonating 'Killing Moon' by Echo and the Bunnymen.

less setback, more metaphor

Deadbeat Club // 26.01.12

When life hits you with setbacks, you can either lie there on life's metaphorical Byres Road, with life's metaphorical broken wine bottle by your side, or you can GET UP, aided by life's metaphorical three strangers (one of whom was middle aged..er...in the metaphor) or, better still, by (life's literal) YOURSELF. GODDIT?

Post punk/new wave tracks (like dem good old deadbeat days) plus some newer stuff, the playlist gives you a good indication of what it must be like to be Anna's neighbour. (This effect could be enhanced by listening to the show through a wall, but we wouldn't recommend it.)

guests and good music

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 27.01.12

It's another lively show, most likely caused by Producer Harry's continued secret mission. In his absence, Vile goes mad for guests (he managed to make no musical choices in this show, meaning the playlist is better than usual). Here they are - if you want to read more about them, the blog will probably feature something fresh any day now.

Begin the show with the trio of artists shouting Love at the World via SWG3... Then hear from Simon Hart about the Manipulate Festival (highlights are chosen)... Vile nips off to see Raydale, who is getting Cryptic next week at the CCA... Zorras sing live in the studio and get into alternative cabaret styles... Opul explain Poetronica... Tom Pritchard improvises... Miaoux Miaoux explains his relationship to knitting....

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 28.01.12

This is Source Tags & Mixtapes' first show of the 2012 session on Subcity Radio, which runs up until June. After that, the future is uncertain.

So, it's a new year, and there's plenty on the horizon for interesting and passionate music. We've already had some worthwhile releases, and I've cherrypicked some new material from Alcest, ††† and Have A Nice Life. Elsewhere, there's some talk of my gig experiences of 2012 thus far, as well as the airing of some new musical obsessions.

It's good to be back. Let's kill this year.

lucky episode 13

Vinyl Cut // 29.01.12

The rules are going out with the window this month at the Vinyl Cut, with a real mixed bag of disparate picks spewed direct from the 'curious' brains of Dave and Anth!

We're not straying too far from the formula, though, so you can expect the usual mishmash of legitimate soundtrack music, killer songs from movies and forgotten classics of the silver screen, including contributions from Danny Elfman, Christopher Young, Joe Esposito and even a track featuring voodoo-soaked Brazilian horror director Coffin Joe himself!

Also this month, a special edition of TV Quick with an emphasis on spy/espionage TV shows. Be seeing you!

Soulful Allsorts // 28.01.12

The Soulful Allsorts crew with Guest DJ played five hours of soul, Motown and R&B last night to busy club and flowing dance floor. Thanks to everyone who turned up. I think we'll still be flying high on today's show.

Fraser will be dipping into his collection for a mix of soul tunes, at least two tips to Motown, our deep soul selection and an oddball choice.

There'll be a gig guide and you can contact us via Facebook

haggis, neeps and titties...

Synth // 25.01.12

So this week's show happened to fall on Burns' night and as such our Tea Time Rave Off was specially heavy, encouraging you to through a wobbly with your Haggis. Provided by up and coming Electro-starlet, Digital Switchover, you can expect big basslines and some exclusive material from his forthcoming EP.

New music came from the likes of Zayn, Holobeams & Broken Machines and Dersonna, plus Soosh, Weakhunt and Slow It Down fought it out for our Local Hero award (although as is usually the case, all three were deserved of the title). Big in the game...

Earthly Matters // 30.01.12

“And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing.”

One hour session from Fergus.

This weeks show is largely dedicated to new rap joints that dropped late 2011 whilst the station was off air for the holidays, and early 2012.

YMCMB do a lil' bit of hyphy-loving with Drake and Tyga, who strip the beats back and let the verses do the talking on 'The Motto' and 'Rack City'. We've been bumpin' Young Jeezy's long awaited Thug Motivation 103 tape since the end of December, as well as two ladies who we're excited to hear more from this year, Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks.

We have some really exciting mixes and guest features coming your way in the next few weeks, so hold tight for new on those.

As well as being a badman dj and a really nice guy he also co-runs the blog wwww.thisisourhouse.org. As a resident at Glasgow's seminal fortified expect a lot of great music spanning a lot of genres.

Ants has listened to some NEW MUSIC meaning we'll have a pretty crafty selection of tunes this week the likes of which you've never heard us play before. We've even got a theme tune, interludes and other awesome stuff.

So tune in for our usual eclectic mix. You won't regret it.

They say you can't change a man, right?!? Oh, but you can. Who? Hugh. Hugh heard us! It's time for a new hugh (you?), and only you (hugh?) can change hugh (you?). You (hugh?) follow?

As well as handy self improvement information, our ruddy darn playlist also reflects the show's focus on change. Initially, demonstrating the interesting diversity in sound between two songs by the same artist, and then by changing (hey, why the hell not!!?) to a half hour american indie mix that has nothing to do with change whatsoever.

likwit fusion preview { inkke & ship canal }

Earthly Matters // 23.01.12

◊ Ahead of the first ever Likwit Fusion event, Earthly Matters has a very exciting, special preview with two of the performers from the night. ◊

◊ One half of the residents, Inkke will be accompanying us in the studio to chat about the premise of the event, his recently released EP, and what his plans for the future are, amongst different other things. He will also be providing us with a guest mix. ◊

◊ Furthermore we will also be joined by the bearer of the Hand Loom Lament record label, and spokesperson of Subcity's Worst Chips Ever radio show, Ship Canal, who will be performing a live set for us. On top of that an interview about the Likwit Fusion event, his recently released material released via his record label's website, plus a variety of other topics. ◊

◊ Inkke ◊

Inkke is a young, Glaswegian beat-maker whose productions fuse elements of atmospheric hip-hop alongside uptempo influences of the UK underground with an aura of finely textured samples. You may know him from his other name DJ Jinty and his weekly radio show on Subcity Radio, Gutter Riddim.

◊ Ship Canal ◊

Bearer of the Hand Loom Lament, and demagogue transmitter of the Worst Chips Ever radio show on Subcity Radio, Ship Canal is one man's way of leading us into unfamiliar territories through a psychologically ominous take on twisted ambient infusions of paranoia driven VST blasts and IDM deliveries. Experimental, atmospheric, and the preeminent embodiment of all things haunting.

Worst Chips Ever // 20.01.12

Transmitting this one straight from the deepest bowels of the shipyards to your busted hearing aid. Pieced together amidst a horrendous headcold, this outer studio telegram celebrates hum, throb, pulse, tone and scorched earth heaviosty. Proper heavy mind. None of this loud guitar rock band shit. How boring is THAT in 2012?

I'm not taking a shit on guitars anyway. There is one in here somewhere, now I come to think about it.

But it's mostly the worst drug experience you ever had cross-pollinated with repeated false awakenings and sleep paralysis. And lemsip.

You're bound to be sick of this shit by now.

But for those of you who view conversational grace, socially acceptable witticisms and the genuine pleasure taken from the presence of another as nothing more than a dimly lit, easily falsified memory, strap your dicks in.

Hair-melting vocal music from the Aka Pygmies, drugged and fucked drum machine abuse, serious men knocking out some seriously devotional reggae, post-Dead C misery blurt and some Japanese synths set to 'Pfft!'

The playlist plays host to some great new finds in Onra, Teebs, Rewind Back and Jessica Jalbert with a mixture of passing thoughts from The Rolling Stones, Tears for Fears and Buddy Holly. On a more sombre note, tributes are addressed to both Amy Whitehouse and Gil Scott Heron through 'Our Day Will Come' and 'Lady Day & John Coltrane'.

the end of a fairy tale

Guns of Bristol

I am really sorry to inform that Guns Of Bristol won't be broadcasting this semester. The amount of workload in University doesn't make it possible to run a good quality radio show and 'Guns Of Bristol' should never go worse. Only better. That's why I decided to take a break and come back in a time that will allow me to dedicate as much heart and time to this project as both Guns Of Bristol and you, dear listeners, deserve.

It's been a wonderful adventure to show you all these amazing tunes. You've heard all my voice, trembling, hesitations and fuck ups, but also the laughter and fascination with music. After almost a year I am convinced Guns Of Bristol was worth all these sleepless nights, because I had a chance to share these aural sensations with those who appreciated it. Hopefully, some time in a broad future Guns Of Bristol will come back to broadcast. Meanwhile, in my attempts to push the domino block, I hope I wobbled at least some of them and made you interested in trip-hop. Good luck with new musical discoveries and thanks for listening.

40 - cb meets mungo's hi fi

Chungo-Bungo // 23.01.12

It's 2012 and we're back on the airwaves for some more tunes inna Glasgow sound system stylee.

Fresh of the release of their second album, Forward Ever, we've got Mungo's Hi Fi in the studio for some soundclash business. Those who know about Mungo's will tell you that when it comes to sound system, dubplates, productions and parties they're seemingly unstoppable at moment, regularly touring to corners of the globe with their distinguished bass heavy, digital dub sound.

Expect nuff dubs and special versions from Mungo's & CB alike, as well as a review of Friday's sessions with Ruben da Silva and plenty coverage of all the tunes we've picked up over the festive period.

Remember, reggae is the music.

In order to roll out a selection of our new post xmas/nye collection, Indra and Skandy will be taking a half hour each, rather than the usual back-2-back madness.

lucy @ code preview

Animal Farm // 17.01.12

As the head of Stroboscopic Artefacts LUCY rolls into CODE @ La Cheetah this weekend, we welcome resident NICK M into the studio for a mix.

Lucy: producer, DJ, founder of Stroboscopic Artefacts. That’s probably how you know him. But there’s also Luca Mortellaro, a published author, experimental sound designer, and the man behind the Lucy moniker. There’s no doubt that the two are linked, but it’s certainly the hidden facets of Luca Mortellaro that are responsible for the dynamic output of Lucy.

Lucy’s DJ sets are techno layered with deep dub and textured with lucid IDM. Never one to shy away from ripping into the peak time and equally in his element playing the ecstatic afterhours, elegance is the foundation of his approach. He manages to refuse the obvious and yet satisfies dancefloors’ appetites for the unexpected. A quick listen to his CLR podcast, Resident Advisor mix or the Modyfier process will attest to one thing: his elusive approach is too angular for genres and pigeon holes.

Codeine Drums // 16.01.12

Hello all.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into the show and came to see us DJ in 2011, the love is much appreciated.

This is our first show of 2012, and we hope it will be another great year for us.

Hold tight for mixes and features from some seriously dope human beings but, for now, here's what we're loving right now.

It's good to be back.

kaleidoscope // 17.10.11

'From the Morning Heat' beckons Autumn with the sound of seasons changing. Holding true to the dreamy shimmery beats of previous shows this episode of Kaleidoscope has a more cosy feel with the carrot soup mix warming things up in the comfortable sounds of the past. Mellow and softer new musical discoveries merge with upbeat favourites. This show looks forward to all the good things still to come.

Alice Cooper and Magik Marker trip out with some wild tracks and one of my favorite poets at the moment Levi the poet is back with another track 'Trees'

Synth // 11.01.12

It certainly felt good to be back in the studio this week! Due to unforseen circumstances we had to miss a few shows towards the end of last year but we're back now and not planning on going anywhere. The first show of 2012 was all about the names you need to be looking out for over the next twelve months and with the exception of this week's guest mix, every song on the show was from a Glasgow producer - we've got a good feeling about this year!

New music came from the likes of Ovr Kill, Mirrors and Dynamode, while Raksha, Konchis and Sega Bodega fought it out for our Local Hero award. We also had Pasty32 of Level Thirtytwo in the mix, laying down some super chilled Hip Hop for a Wednesday evening. Check out his show on Subcity here: http://www.subcity.org/shows/thirtytwo/

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 12.01.12

Need that 'pissed-alone-in-an-empty-flat-with-fucked-ears' soundtrack after you've walked home through the sex park (another fuck dodged!) and exhausted the porn you can be arsed searching for?

The Awkward Sons and Timmy Two Scoops know what you need.

Minimal French pop produced to psychedelic perfection, Latino-themed post-punk underground confusion, crackle-heavy Sacred Harp vocal minge, widescreen cinematic drone-outs and some fucking techno.

We're totally on it.

across the arts to tentrack heaven (starring bram)

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 13.01.12

With Producer Harry away on a top secret mission, Vile is forced to draft in two guest hosts: the mighty Bram Gieben brings news from the worlds of Coldwave and Witch House ("think minor chord electro," he suggests) and friend of the show Fielding Hope, ahead of his Cry Parrot celebration of 2012's birth.

Vile gives props to upcoming shows, chats to Michael Cox from Across The Arts and reveals his general ignorance: the ghost of Harry gives us the first "three tracks from tentracks" selection.

With Fielding also being enlisted on the secret Vile mission, it falls to Bram to keep Vile on Track: aside from his initial melancholy, Vile is cheered as he is schooled in electronic music. Sadly, he tries to keep up and show his cool by playing some Ghost Poet, Explosions in the Sky and pretending he liked electro twenty years ago.

Pint of unfulfilled potential turned into a hundred rancid sambuca scoops glugged away into the ancestrial disabuse of the malfunctioning lungs I inherited from centuries of hand loom weavers and shipyard foreman total body bust for the next week getting far too old for this twonked that stinky biffweasel til his nose turned red and wapped a kinky one up his shnozzpipe for later dinky pillock sweaty secretary general beehive buttfuck vibes.

Got some fresh meat for you nasty fuckers tonight. Triple threat Dekorder action from Daniel Padden, Ensemble Economique and Andrew Pekler. Plus two absolute headplate recalibrations from my boys at Exotic Pylon, The House In The Woods and Ronny Juzzle.

PLUS: I recently celebrated a birthday. This is the kind of thing that makes me fucking anxious. I have done nothing notable with my life. Not really. Another year closer to death. I did meet Sunderland legend Kevin Ball recently, mind. He's gone proper grey un'all. Shit one.

Anyway, the second half of the show comprises a mixtape of wanglepoops and pissmops from the often surprisingly crystalline bedroom morass of the mid 80's sub underground. This includes, but is in no way limited to, a hellishly young Andrew Chalk tossing off dark ambient PsycheDelia nothingness, heavily alcobused nutter-synth showtunes, hopelessly machninic data skronk from France and a peach from Anthony Braxtons most underrated (or overrated... it really depends which cunts you read)period. I tried not to include Jandek too, but you know how difficult that shit is for me.

"Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people really talk, make paltry human enterprises seem important. Singers and musicians show us human beings making sounds far more lovely than human beings really make. Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on."

No, not just the way it always is on She Said, this time we really mean it as we bring you some very special euro-guests in the form of Swedish noisy-popsters From Our Hearts. Hailing from Gothenburg and no doubt surfing the wave of ecstasy following their first ever Scottish gig in the 13th Note on 13 January, the Scandinavian threesome invade the studio with an impeccable selection of their own music and sounds closest to their souls.

So we're kinda expecting the likes of Suicide, Sonic Youth, Swans, Kylie Minoise, Dinosaur JR, Atomized, Jesus & Mary Chain, Shellac, Big Black, Mogwai, Kraftwerk.....and it's not often we're wrong!

Come to the Note on Friday....listen to the show on Saturday.....immerse yerself in the joy of living!!!!

The Red Room // 10.01.12

We welcomed 2012 with our best show of the year so far.

We discussed all manner of subjects, including the restorative powers of coffee, weird gifts we have bought each other over the years, and our New Year's resolutions, as well as butlers, Clint Eastwood, and the perils of being an extra on a TV show.

We also discussed serial killers, prostitution and old age, we reminisced about our teenage years, debated on the relevance of radio, bemoaned the atrocity that is Spotify, and expressed our dislike of adverts on DVDs.

We also discussed Thom's new musical project, Left of Venus, as well as several upcoming gigs we are looking forward to, including Cry Parrot's New Year Festival at Nice 'n' Sleazy, Opaque at 13th Note, and Tate+Lyle, The Man From Ultra, Four Inches ov Foreskin, The DDN, and Scrambled Ovulation at 13th Note. We also discussed our friend Now Wakes the Sea and his debut album, Fluoxetine Morning.

We also reviewed films by Sergio Leone (For a Few Dollars More), and David Fincher (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).

show 15: where's my plague of locusts?

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 05.01.12

The eschaton. Yawm ad-Din. The end of days.

2012 is supposed to be the start of the good shit, right? We've all seen John Cusack having a ball out-running gaping maws and getting the girl. It looks fucking brilliant! (No mention of how the smarmy cunt survived a post-apocalyptic Africa, though... That's the sequel we're all holding out for.)

The last era of genuine apocalyptic dread was probably the '80s. Fuck the millennium - only computer programmers and total wallys got worked up about that one. The '80s had Reagan, Thatcher and the constant threat of pre-emptive nuclear strikes. And Threads. Obviously. Good times.

It made total sense that dayglow, coke-fuelled singalongs were the soundtrack to just getting on with it. But scratch the surface, and some of the most inventive, forward-thinking music of anyone's lifetime was being made in the miserable safety of bunkers and basements the world over.

Blunt, proto-techno drum programming, post-industrial synth/effects abuse and insanely warped, pitch-black nuclear pop hooks - it was without doubt one of the most amazing periods in electronic music history. Suicide and Throbbing Gristle had a fuck-load to answer for.

So we've gone trawling through the irradiated, paranoid depths of the Awkward vaults (lead-sealed, obviously) to bring you a 60-minute mix of city-flattening, culture-erasing audio fallout. Most of this shit still sounds utterly fucking timeless, and makes a whole load of modern electronic music sound like a whimpering, self-induced almost-gasm.

That said, there's still a few cunts plumbing the fear and keeping it fresh, so we had to throw them in, too. No fucking revivalists, mind.

Time to wind up the old Doomsday Clock...

We just couldn't wait until Jan 2012, so along with our good friends over at the farm we decided that not only would we put on an extra show over the festive period, but that we would also make it a meaty 6 hour affair so we can showcase everything from deep spaced out dub right through to all things techno.

I will be co hosting the show with Animal Farm's delightful Darren quail, we will be joined by a couple of suprise guest dj s in the studio (alongside the full animal Farm + nosleep. roster) We will be reviewing what we have enjoyed in Glasgow over the last 12 months, and also looking ahead to what promises to be an exciting 2012 for both nosleep. and the Animal Farm fiddlers.

Kicking off 2012 - the 10th anniversary year of Argonaut Sounds - at Blackfriars Basement on Friday 20th January, we're starting with a night of pure selection... No named guests, just boxes stacked full of our favourite reggae and dancehall records, which we've been itching to get ...a chance to spin through our own soundsystem for ages.

As always t'ings a run 11pm-3am, and its only a likkle £3 entry for a genuine sound system vibe.

We've got big plans for this year, with some cracking guests lined up, but we're really looking forward to launching this run of nights with a good old-fashioned dance in the original Argonaut Sounds stylee!

Also look forward to a special review of 2011 in our first show back on Subcity in 2012. Anyone who listened to the 2010 review last year (still up on listen back obviously) will know its not to be missed...

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 15.12.11

So everyone's doing an end of year list and everyone's got an opinion, eh?

We're just gonna catch Ship Canal, get wrecked and play some belters instead. Fuck knows when any of them came out.

You should tune in, though. It'll be great.

Foreign Thoughts // 15.12.11

today's show was madness. utter madness. We had 3 bands, 6 hosts, some booze and some santa hats. Midnight Lion's Stewart did a fantastic stripped down set, followed by Kettle of Kite's Tom Stearn. Then, the Dirty Beggars did a stomping set of Americana infused indie lovelyness.

Don't forget that to win tickets to Fatherson at the Arches this sunday you can send in the best drawn impression of Ross Leighton. Whoever wins gets 2 free tickets and their drawing put up on Ross's wall.

Show will be up to listen again as of tomorrow morning.

Microlaboratized middlebrow dullard dump super hero latex knock off DVD's out the battered leather holdall down the pub blotchy old tomato head cunt sat in the corner just spits and spits all day long cant tell when his jaundiced decrepit mit ends and his geometrically impossible roll up begins well good on the fruit machines mind like he knows summat' we don't interstellar alco-warrior straight out of rag and bone dyslexia.

After being locked in my homestead last week by what the majority of countries on earth would designate as mildly bad weather, but we, we band of brothers, we defenders of our sceptered Isle pure shat it and all of a sudden it was a HURRICANE. FUCCCCKKK!!! Where's that old Michael "looks like he was cobbled together out of an egg and some cotton wool buds on Blue Peter" Fish geezer when you need him most?

Hopefully not in the same place as Austerity Britain, for his sake. This bloke is the info-overload equivalent of Jandek if his Dad owned a bookies in Oldham. Ultra lo-fi booze blues that summarizes nigh on two decades of complete and utter disappointment with the way his life has turned out. Non verbal sleep apnoea yelps mingle with gutter synth and heavily drugged guitar/internal mic sickness.

Tonight Austerity Britain treats us to a preview of his forthcoming Hand Loom Lament CD-R Total Insolvent, dropping at the start of next year if I get my shit together in time. Which I obviously wont.

Before that Ship Canal (wait, that's me...) presents a selection of field recordings, sound art and processed source material that evoke harsh elementalism.

Safe.

earthly matters x wavy graves present { soosh }

Earthly Matters // 18.12.11

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Earthly Matters and Wavy Graves will be co-hosting a special broadcast this week, and are delighted to present to you a live guest mix + interview from a highly talented, up and coming Glaswegian beat-making, dream-hop producer.

◊ Soosh ◊

After taking a year out from his part time occupation as a dentist, accompanied with a handful of his favorite musical instruments and equipment which includes the NI maschine sampler, a variety of hardware including synthesizers, and a tape recorder, Soroosh Khavari travelled to British Columbia, Canada to escape from the all too consuming distractions, and unabating nature of city life to discover his penchant, for creating heart felt, blissful, palpitating sultry beats and thus blossoming his fulfilling love for music, and capturing his desires and ideas into his first and so far finest pieces of production to date.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Signed to FUSELab / Jumble records, and distributed by Alpha Pup records respectively, Soosh’s eponymously-titled, debut, “Soosh - EP,” generates a soft, enchanted, treacle-like, percolation of carefully tendered rhythms being entwined with a radiantly lit step-by-step steadiness plume of cozily luscious rattling percussion. With a layer of faintly spoken whispers elegantly echoing for a long lost loved one, whilst skimming meditatively across gentle wintry river streams, beckoning for a voice in return to call back. Soosh’s compositions are ornately brought together, as they tangibly wash into our intimately cocooned deepest emotions and personal feelings. It pleasantly takes care of us, as it comfortingly encourages ourselves to let go of our thoughts and sail away without a worry in the world, hibernating peacefully through to spring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With remixes for the likes of Shlohmo, Sina, and Lapalux under his belt, with the latter having provided a remix for, “Rainbow Hiccups,” on his debut EP. A slot alongside the likes of Lando Kal, Mau'Lin, Gang Colours, and Blondes at the highly esteemed, Streets Of Beige club nights in London back in June of 2011, and three EP's scheduled for release sometime in early 2012. The future is looking bright for Soosh as he is definitely destined to reach out to many folk from around the globe and celestial bodies from every planet across the cosmos's galaxies. It's that mesmerizing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ º~º º~º º~º º~º ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is a link to Soosh's soundcloud down below where you can listen to his debut EP, and various one off releases, which includes, "Farewell," and "Take My Hand," as well as his various remixes and his collaborations with Memotone.

http://soundcloud.com/soosh

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Furthermore, Soosh's, "Bramhall Waits," is included in this compilation which was curated by Error Broadcast head honcho, Sven Swift. Other contributions which can be found includes tracks by, Zeroh, Groundislava, Pixelord, Monolithium, Maguett, Option Command, and Nocow.

- motown madness -

Funky Junk // 17.12.11

For the last show of 2011, Funky Junk is show-casing a "greatest hits" selection of Motown chartbusters. For a wee while on Saturday we will be taking a break from playing 'that obscure stuff your gran likes' to hits that topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic from the early 60s onwards.

Expect belters from the likes of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Temptation, The Four Tops and a good few more. Also, a run down of the past months events and what to expect 2012.

We may even slot in an alternative Christmas jingle at the end too, who knows.

Traditional Folkus // 15.12.11

It’s that time of year again! Exams are over (for most), the snow's falling (well its sleet, but let’s not be picky here) and the air is full with the sounds of the usual, tacky Christmas tunes! So as an antidote to all this I'll be bringing you a selection of some more unusual Christmas tunes to enjoy, tomorrow at 5pm!

Posted at 18:34, 14th December 2011

Argonaut Sounds // 14.12.11

For our last show of 2011 we present a wee xmas special... unlike last year, when we managed to survive 2 hours of xmas reggae without going mad, this year we'll spin just a few of our favourite festive reggae tracks, longside our usual selection of brand new riddims and classics.

Posted at 15:33, 14th December 2011

well, i can't wait for christmas...

Foreign Thoughts // 15.12.11

it's that time of year again...where I get a wee red nose from the cold and warm myself up by listening to There Will Be Fireworks non-stop. Aye, this is pretty much what happens all year round but with more mince pies and Wham on the radio.

Tune in tomorrow from 12-2 to listen to some festive treats from Scottish bands as well as a cheeky wee session from a secret guest and interview with Miss Milk herself, Hannah Currie.

I am going to bring some mulled wine in a flask and some merry men.

Festive love from Foreign thoughts.

stefan blomeier / lotide / svetlana industries

Wavy Graves // 12.12.11

Svetlana Industries

Firing their arrows from outside the walls, Svetlana Industries, founded in Belgrade by Toby and Andrea (aka Andrea 3000), became a bit of an anomaly. Built upon the bubbling community of artists emerging in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet states. Their enthusiasm to represent and amplify what was happening around them led to the inception of a label that wasn’t faceless, wasn’t centred in a specific location, nor limited to a specific style.

Svetlana’s extending roster is a different cut from some of their uber serious, uber masculine contemporaries - evident at their showcases and parties. The self-sufficient label keeps a steady flow, with a bunch a sweet records this year including BNJMN’s esoteric flavour on a house tip, Nightwave’s alluring combination of melody and clattering juke flex, and most recently 1000names compelling boogie.

Toby, who once worked as a music consultant for the British Council, talks about their recent relocation to London and unveils some plans for a new subsidiary label: Woetone.

Lotide

Hailing from Washington, this artist serves as an insight into the vibe of Svetlana’s new subsidiary label. After a little debate about the best length to make a mix, we settled on 20mins... he hit it exactly. Although, this dude has made 20mins feel like quite a journey - consider it an express service. One of the most curious mixes that have been sent this way, it takes in sample moments from ambient works, his own remixes and Otomo Yoshihide.

Stefan Blomeier

The cryptic synth-centric artist based somewhere between Denmark and Dundee makes some selections of 'inspirational tracks'. Expect a swash of early tape experiments, alt-synthpop and deep house.

guest mix - tom dicicco (project squared/ism)

Animal Farm // 13.12.11

For our last show of this year we welcome Manchester's TOM DICICCO.

Tom is slowly but surely marking himself as someone to watch in 2012. Recent releases for Project Squared & Stockholm LTD has seen his excellent take of dub infected techno make more than a few heads turn this year. His mix skips effortlessly through some of the years biggest techno tracks.

Animal Farm residents will be on hand as always, although we are still in bits after Robert Hood's performance at the Sub Club last friday....We'll be going through some of our favourite tracks of the last year. An hour really isn't enough though.....

Thanks to all for tuning in this year! Remember our 7th Birthday celebrations on 28th December with ROLANDO then we kick off 2012 with bang with SANDWELL DISTRICT live (Regis & Function).

See you all in the new year!!

Roll N Square // 12.12.11

This fortnight we have a first for you.

A guest mix from our good friend Michael Callaghan aka 'Min-G' Not only is this the first Roll 'N Square guest mix, this is also 'Min-G's first ever mix... and it's a belter.

He is fairly fresh on the scene but his entry in the 'Death By Stereo Remix Contest' sounds like someone who's been at it for years. A moombathon remix of Umphrey McGee's 'Deeper' that's sure to help you get your grind on.

And news just in, his collaboration with Click Refresh (Roll 'N Square's very own Chris Williams) 'Ain't Playin' has just been signed to Melonsound for their Miami WMC 2012 compilation.

Enjoy!!

the best of 2011

Codeine Drums // 12.12.11

2011 has seen some truly amazing artists give us a much needed injection of fun.

The sheer breadth of variety is astonishing; from head-bursting smashers from Rustie to the most gorgeous, ambient house from Jamie xx, and good ol' fashioned dancefloor stompers from the likes of Mosca.

Some artists that we have played in the beginning of the year have now come to be super popular, which is amazing for us - to love someone new and see them blow up they way they do (nods to Jacques Greene and The Weeknd in particular here).

So, this is a very, very short selection of some of our favourites of 2011.

We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

See you in the New Year.

To kick the show off, Floyd will be tearing up the turntables with a live mix, mashing together our favourite tracks of the year, including productions from guests of Bangers & Mashup, plus a few gems from features like, "Year of the Week'.

The show won't be short in sharing love with said friend's of the show. Infact we'll be taking a bit of time to look back at some of our bests bits, but we've also put together a bit of a Christmas present, from us to you. Yes, lots of goodies so we'll also be presenting that to you.

johns lunds / yoyo oyoy

Wavy Graves // 04.12.11

The micro-manifesto of art collective YOYO OYOY states that it’s “one expression in different forms... free of genres and artforms.” With a catalogue of productions from (what can reductively be described as) experimental musicians based in Denmark, the collective and its output represent an ambitious community of artists that aren’t as po-faced as their manifesto might suggest.

The absurd and chaotic combinations of YOYO OYOY see its identity shift from rock band to DJ team. Although, improvisation and collaboration are the main component of their regular festivals and countless shows (most notably in a continuous 24hour festival they held a few years ago), their expanding base of collaborators come from beyond the field of music, including those from the culinary world. In 2005 they collaborated with 8 chefs for a bespoke concert and menu, then in 2008 they had The Big Fry Up (a night punctuated by large platters of herring, meat and sprinkles). Their newly found performance and studio space Mayhem plays host to all manner of performance and recording projects.

This episode is an audio profile of one of the musicians and collaborators at YOYO OYOY: John Lunds. His music is often at odds with itself, insanely and conflictingly beautiful, exploring contemporary improvisation, taking in free jazz, noise and punk.

Soulful Allsorts // 10.12.11

Fraser has always played a few Christmas songs round about this time of year usually borrowed from his producer but today's show is dedicated to this winter festival.

Of course Soul has roots in Gospel so it's not unexpected to hear The Staple Singers and Who took the Merry out of Christmas.

Clarence Carter takes an old blues theme subtracts man and gives us Back Door Santa.

Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Miracles and The jackson Five all recorded Christmas albums (of varying quality) for Motown.

Stax did a couple of festive compilations as well.

footnote to howl

Earthly Matters // 20.12.11

“Narrow minds devoid of imagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutely fear and loathe. Of course it’s important to know what’s right and what’s wrong. Individual errors in judgment can usually be corrected. As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around. But intolerant, narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host, change form, and continue to thrive. They’re a lost cause, and I don’t want anyone like that coming in here.”

the return of panda chat...

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 07.12.11

"Tune in or Funk off" seems to be the mantra of this week's serving of The All Day Cheeky Breakfast. It's piping hot, and waiting for you - we'll be discussing whether Jeremy Clarkson is cheeky (like us) or just a complete bell end, as well as looking at the arrival of Edinburgh Zoo's new Pandas. We also discuss what the laws would be if the Cheeky Breakfast colonised the new "earth-like" planet discovered by astronomers this week.

Callum also takes a look at The National Theatre of Scotland's latest show, an adaptation of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Featuring an interview with the director, Graham McLaren, clips from the show and a healthy dose of arts-student snobbery for good measure.

Of course, we still have your favorites - a chub-chub Teen Talk, what was described as "an all time classic" game of Defend the Indefensible, where Michael argues that Sarkozy should "Climb the mountain of Merkell", Michael's Hidden Gems and the boys' ideas for a new Reality show in "Pitch it".

Keep it locked to our Facebook Page for details of our upcoming night of music and comedy, "Building Blocs" on the 19th of December at Bloc. Listen out during the show for an exclusive Christmas track from one of our acts, Laurie Cameron.

Most importantly, however, keep it cheeky during this stressful time of year, and make sure you join us next time for the Cheeky Christmas Cracker!

We previewed some upcoming gigs, including Adam Stafford, theapplesofenergy, Now Wakes the Sea, and Lovers Turn To Monsters at 13th Note, theapplesofenergy album launch at The Old Hairdressers, Project Ability's fundraiser at Mono, and many more!

We also reviewed several films, including An American in Paris, Sunrise: A Story of Two Humans, La Grande Illusion, and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion.

There's a location chat with artists involved in the CCA's current mini-festival of writing around visual art (thanks to 2HB), a new release from Street Debelle, and Vile's fascination with the difference between studio and live recording.

Both TT and Nicolay are far more interesting than Vile, happily chatting about troubadours and the aesthetics of touring: they were even good enough to play live in the studio, giving Vile that warm rosy glow he gets when he realises that he has accidentally discovered something exciting.

a stroke of luck

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 03.12.11

This is the last regular-format episode of the year before I kick into my end of year list across the next two weeks, and it's a pretty spontaneous one - I spin a couple of freshly purchased goodies (John Maus, Neds Atomic Dustbin), and Allan from She Said even guests towards the end to talk about The Fall. At the time of writing, Okkervil River are offering a gorgeous new EP of covers for free over on their website. Grab it fast!

See you next week for part one of Source Tags & Mixtapes' favourite records of 2011 (#20 - #11).

killer kitsch

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 03.12.11

This show features an exclusive guest mix by none other than Glasgow's own Killer Kitsch.

Here's the science bit:

'Killer Kitsch was launched in February 2005 at The Buff Club in Glasgow. With very few other midweek nights offering anything other than the standard chart & r'n'b fare we took it upon ourselves to try and change it. Now 6 years later Killer Kitsch is still standing tall and is now seen as an institution within Glasgow.

Over the 6 years we have booked guests such as Simian Mobile Disco, King Roc, Optimo, The Glimmers, Cass & Mangan, Audiojack, Robot Needs Oil, Freeform Five, Tramp DJ’s, Joe Hot Chip, Shir Khan, Druzzi (The Rapture), Diskjokke, Kris Menace, Grum, Nadastrom. Yolanda Be Cool, Tom Staar, Reset!, Wafa, Late of The Pier, Drop The Lime, Hushpuppy, Nom De Strip, Neoteric, Clouds, Dem Slackers.

In 2009 we then too the party through the Edinburgh's best club The Cabaret Voltaire. Since then we have made Sunday's 'slightly' more bearable for people in our nations capital with our attempt at trying to be eclectic but cohesive.'

Enjoy!

She Said // 03.12.11

So the guests have been cast aside with carefree if not gay abandon. The studio lights have been softened, candlelight flickers suggestively whilst burning incense meanders causing occasional spluttering into the studio mics.

What is this nonsense? What delights will unfold in tonight’s show as Derek and Allan offering a comforting yet splendidly suggestive hand of support in what would otherwise be yer dampest hour? Well we're saying nothing so you'll have to damn well listen to find out!

Take a chance, take a chance, take a ch ch ch chance.....

Soulful Allsorts // 03.12.11

We launched Soulful Allsorts on the the road last night at Blackfriars and thanks to everyone who came down. Particularly Jerome who travelled from Amsterdam. We had a good time time, the sound system was excellent and our Guest Alan McKenzie came straight from a night at The Gilmerton Soul Club in Edinburgh stood behind our decks and played ninety minutes of dance active soul and R&B.

I don't know if Fraser has re packed his record box from last night but I'm sure there will be a top class selection of discs on today's show.

same sex marriage in scotland and beyond

Dialectic Society Lectures // 02.12.11

As the consultation over same-sex marriages becoming legal in Scotland continues, questions continue to arise over how valuable the success of this motion would be for LGBT rights, and what impact it would have on general attitudes towards homosexuality.

In a talk hosted by the GU Dialectic Society and recorded by Subcity, Kelly Kollman, a lecturer in the University of Glasgow Politics department, discusses how the change in government legislation allowing same sex marriages would affect the lives of LGBT couples as well as the wider community. Issues such as polygamy, the attitudes of religious communities and the impact of the AIDS epidemic are also discussed in relation to these changes.

Worst Chips Ever // 02.12.11

Excess consumption waste bin contraband distinction info dump flaccid trad Marxist cocktease attend to the right now ring out yer towel blast bad loan bollocks to bits consume/produce night shift data shift huff huff what kind of Keith Joseph wet dream is this?

"I don’t believe another world is possible, because I know that all things superseded stick around and stink as unwelcome reminders of that we have to deal with, so another world is necessary but only built from the gutted hull of this one"

"Cyberpunk was the dream image of neo-liberalism par excellence, albeit one that encoded within it enough short-circuits to wake itself again and again."

"for what is steam punk if not a romanticized do-over, a setting of the clock back, a time of craftsmanship and real (fetishized) objects, remaking the world, not in the mode of the ceaseless slow sprawl of cheap oil but in the Victorian self-aware world making spirit?"

"What I propose in the place of steampunk, that weak handmaiden of Obama capitalism, is what I call salvagepunk: the post-apocalyptic vision of a kaputt world, strewn with both the dream residues and the real junk of the world that was, and shot through with the hard work of salvaging, repurposing, détourning, scrapping. "

Tonight I present a mix inspired by Evan Calder William's concept of Salvagepunk, expanded and expounded upon at length in his book "Combined And Uneven Apocalypse" and his essential blog Socialism and/or Barbarism.

Who the fuck says I never bring you anything highbrow? Tunes from Elklink, Diamond Catalog, Moon Pool And Dead Band, Jessica Rylan, The Lost Domain, Patrice And Friends, Chris Watsn, Frozen Border and more. I might drop a Current 93 cover I finished t'other day in somewhere too. Easy now.

Soulful Allsorts // 26.11.11

Steve and Tina popped in to the studio with a boxful of records and some soul chat. Accompanied by Zane and Fiona a riotous time was had by the listeners grooving on Steve's selections.

From the Augustine Twins to the Young Sirs an alphabet of soulful songs was spelled out with zero squibs.

show 13: like you're peeling a monkey

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 01.12.11

Advent calendars are a bit of a luxury this year, eh? May as well just go buy an Animal Bar (how come they're just calling them Dairy Milks these days?) and pace yourself for 25 miserable days until you're left with nothing but a soggy wrapper and the icy reminder that your parents always bought your presents and they simply don't know you any more. Hence the shit socks and Top Gear annual. Again.

Or you could peel back the labial doors of your favourite Awkward Sons instead. We won't reward you with the moulded cocoa trinkets of a perenially exploited people, but a 60-minute brain gape should do the trick. Plus you don't even need to write to us once a year to get your frosty disappointment fix. Great, eh?

Wild Turkish psych, conversational English industrial and percussive Aussie minge abuse.

You might not get what you want, but you'll sure as fuck get what you need.

Were back on subcity this week with Vocal house business part 2. After the huge success!!! of part 1 we felt it was very fitting to celebrate its one year anniversary with the second installment, so expect everything well 'vocally' :). Ill be joined in the studio by the most reliable man in dance music mr j.b.d. caroll and baa mehmi, who will be presenting the show this week in his rather unorthadox manner.

the homeland of elves

Guns of Bristol // 01.12.11

Anyone who bothered at least once to search for some great music from somewhere apart from English speaking UK and US certainly knows that the northern country of Sweden is a goldmine of good music. Anything from metal to pop can be found there. But Guns Of Bristol obviously are going to focus on chillout. And find out how the skandinavian mythology of elves, closeness to the nature, relaxed and casual lifestyles and 'fika's affect the creativity of people from the Land of the Midnight Sun.

The Red Room // 29.11.11

On this week's episode of The Red Room, we were joined by Alan McCormack (of Redwings and Now Wakes The Sea).

Together, we discussed a range of topics, including recent Glasgow gigs by Thurston Moore and Muscles of Joy, the inner workings of the tofu burger, and the joy of turning twenty-one, as well as the phenomenon of confusing night with day, the relative calm of chaotic city storms, and strange, dark dreams.

We also reviewed films by Sergio Corbucci (Django), Marcel Carné (Les Enfants du Paradis), Bruce Robinson (The Rum Diary), and more.

billa ballin'

thirty-two // 29.11.11

On this week's episode of Thirty-two we're excited to bring you a very special guest mix from Billa Qause, a beat maker/graphic designer/MC and all round creative boss all the way from Athens, Greece.

We first heard Billa on Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz compilation with a track called All Night, and since then everything else we've encountered by him has been straight up dope. His album Jazzova was one of our favourite releases of last year, and it's still keeping it's solid place in our most played lists.

As well as his solo project, Billa is also a part of Pad Trio, a collaboration with J. Melik and Kill Emil that's determined to bring the old school hip hop flavours back to the scene with a whole lot of MPC button bashing. If you haven't caught their live stuff yet we suggest you go check it out.

With recent bombs dropping on Riddim Fruit, Cast-a-Blast, and his own label Beat Quick, you can be sure that Billa's mix today is nothing short of head noddin'.

v.c. / co la

Wavy Graves // 27.11.11

V.C.

A deft capacity for producing music that combines the sexual and robotic, V.C.’s uncluttered electro flex is closest to some originators of the skweee sound namely Pavan and Mesak. Fully formed and powerful like Heinrich Mueller remodels, sometimes sparing and cinematic, with a keen understanding of how to work a R&B bassline. Helsinki resident V.C. is no imitator. As a solo artist and 1/4 of the supergroup Yöt, he has created his own style that’s executed with economy, taking on dub and elements of non-European music tropes along the way.

Although he has releases on nearly every skweee label going (Flogsta Danshall/Harmönia/Mässy/Dødpop/Disques Mazout), as Sonic Router affirmed in a recent interview, his productions are ‘a testament to the versatility within the genre.’ This productive year for V.C. has included releases on Lo Fi Funk, Mässy and a forthcoming LP from Yöt. His recording sessions, mixed in a remote studio during the Finnish snowstorms of 2011, were finally released on the Brighton based label Donky Pitch - commanding their first foray into Scandinavian electro funk. Creating one of the most powerful EPs this year.

This episode features an interview with the producer and some unreleased tracks from the new Yöt LP and V.C.’s The Good Sweat EP.

Co La

Emerging this year with a series of sample based tapes that don’t fall into the bracket of mixtape, or 90s c+p, Co La has created a series of tapes and records that correspond with what he describes as “a new logic”. Privileging the Plunderphonic tradition; setting him apart from most contemporary electronic music producers.

The tapes and records create something that nods to Jamaican Rocksteady and 50′s American Pop re-purposing it into fresh, smart, electronic music. With smart arrangements and shifting sample moments, the differing moods have an immediacy, a fast-track immersing quality that allude to something recognisable yet transient. Other tracks are composed more rhythmically, their concise funk and repetition taking something from the musical tradition of the city he is based: Baltimore.

His latest record, Daydream Repeater, is described by NNA Tapes as “an attitude adjustment in the era of austerity,” its motivations somewhat engaging with the discourse and language of the moment. The Co La live shows explore this subversion more explictly; this subversion of a luxury lifestyle ideal.

Matthew Papich (the dude behind Co La) talks about his music and performances, as well as the changes and constants in Baltimore, Buñuel, drinking champagne and squashing peaches.

Brand new releases from Berliner's Shirley Holmes and Brazillians Ampex, are followed by some poorly judged christmas music segueing seamlessly into an extended 00's Electroclash nostaligia trip, sparked off by the brand new track from Scream Club and Electrosexual, featuring Sue Denim of Robots in Disguise.

If patterns could be emotions and thoughts then this episode sees a kaleidoscopic fusion of longing, reminiscing and reflection to an upbeat soundtrack of new discoveries and forgotten favourites. An overriding element of escapism into memory, the past, and the idea of holding onto someone and something creates a cryptic message which only you can decide for. The dots ('Bedroom eyes' 'Dry The Rain' 'Remember Me' 'Take it as it Comes' etc.) are laid out and ready to be joined together. Make your own picture.

A top selector and producer himself, keep your eye on Raksha as we expect big things from him very soon. Check his beats here http://soundcloud.com/rakshadubs

Also joining us is our friend Ray from the east side! You may know him from such things as the skinny club listings, the skinny student guide and now a recent recruit of The Scotsman! We've found Ray to be a fine selector of the house and techno variety and tends to keep his vinyl very clean. Deckard and him go B2B 100% Vinyl

Hanlo will be playing a couple of exclusive tracks off the forthcoming FREE Duncan Powell album - 'Franked'. After the death of Amy Winehouse Duncan rediscovered his love for her album 'Frank' and decided to remix the whole thing. Inbetween that all strains of UKG.

Join the boys as they return in a blaze of glory, loosen up their rusty joints, and fill your face with more cheek than wolf whistling monkeys in zoot suits.

You will be taken on a 2 hour tour de force as we catch up with what Kev, Callum, and Michael have been up to over the summer, and some regular items are brought back. Varty's condition is reported upon, Big Gay Tom attempts to kill the mood LIVE on air, and some more (seemingly) indefensible statements are defended.

Also, some new sections are brought to the plate, involving some games that have the lads hunting for treasure in the Subcity buildings, and Kev and Michael compete for Callum's confession in Pitch It.

You have no excuse. Tune in, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES GET YOUR CHEEK ON.

Legend is a word that gets thrown around quite a lot when it comes to music, but it's one that we're happy to use to describe the amazing AraabMUZIK. If you are a fan of early-mid 2000s U.S. hip hop and R&B, then you have most certainly heard his work. AraabMUZIK has produced hits for Busta Rhymes, Dipset, Fabolous and Cam'ron, and a quick scan of YouTube proves that he is an absolute monster on the MPC.

AraabMUZIK is playing a live show at The Glasgow School of Art on December 2nd.

It's an early show, as the union venue shuts at 12 due to a lack of a late license, but that won't hamper the atmosphere. If you are a fan of live electronic music, there's no reason to miss this live set. Whilst most hip hop producers garner a wealth of samples from soul, jazz and funk, AraabMUZIK takes a heavier inspiration from more recent electronic styles, making him not just your average hip hop producer.

We strongly recommend you check him out at his December 2nd show. See you there.

Also, DJ Mag has announced the nominations for their Best of British 2011 poll.

If you love what is happening in Scotland, and the UK overall, we recommend you go and vote for your favourites. Glasgow is being strongly represented in the nominations, with Numbers, Rubadub, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and The Sub Club up for awards. So, go show some love.

michael forshaw guest mix

Banjax // 20.11.11

This week we have a guest mix from Michael Forshaw, ahead of his live set at Banjax on Friday 25th November at La Cheetah, alongside Ben Pest (Live). The mix features recent and forthcoming tracks of his.

MICHAEL FORSHAW - LIVE

Michael quotes his biggest influences as being Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Visage, Human League, Si Begg, DJ Funk and all Chicago Shit and early electro...

He started DJing in clubs in and around blackpool (his home town) in 1988 before moving to cardiff and playing out regularly around that area for the next 4 years.

Michael moved back to Blackpool in 1995, bought a sampler, drum machine, a couple of synths and got writing. After a chance meeting with Dean Thatcher and Richard Thair from The Aloof and Red Snapper, they encouraged him to send them his tracks and they released two singles for him on their Flaw label in 1995. In 1996 Michael started his own record label with a mate called My Breathing (the name taken from a favourite Gary Numan track) and he released 5 records between 1996 and 1999 before starting the new label, Chan`n`Mikes.

He has also had releases on other UK and European labels such as Flaw, Red Seal, Mental Industries, Penalty, Magic Trax, Core, Automatic, Miditonal and Noodles.

Most recently he has been on fire, with his releases on Coin Operated and Banjax Crew member Dave Shades's Horror Boogie Records.

Since 1997 he has been DJing and playing live at venues in Germany, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. He is also one half of The Flying Lurinskys, with Dan Monox.

His insane live sets of fucked up techno, electro, rave and booty are guaranteed to turn any club into a sweatbox of raw energy.

BEN PEST - LIVE

Highly talented musician Ben Pest is perhaps best known as a member of brilliant electronic funk band PEST (Ninja Tune), but in recent years has blessed us with his unique take on techno, acid, house and breaks. Ignoring current fads or trends, he has a distinctive and original sound. His punchy drums, twisted acid, chopped vocals and huge bass whip dancefloors into a frenzy. With substantial appearances at Uglyfunk, BLOC Weekend and Glade Festival, Ben is one of the most exciting producers around and his releases on Victim, Bonus Round and his own label Panic Bridge come highly recommended. He has a forthcoming EP on Horror Boogie Records so watch this space.

Ben is also one half of improvised, jacking noise live act The Black E with the legendary Cristian Vogel.

gobbledygook

Tarantism // 17.11.11

This episode is dedicated to those song which simply make no sense. Some of these words have an underlying meaning, some are thrown into some kind of random assortment, and some... well... they just don't qualify as lyrics at all.

Moving from psychedelic to rock, and onward through to house and techno, this is an ode to apparent senselessness.

Yes indeed, She Said is delighted to welcome back unique and compelling contemporary folk musician Alasdair Roberts for tonight's show where amongst other things he's promised..."tracks from Alan Lomax's fifties Scottish field recordings including an appearance from Annie Lennox's dad, some Gaelic bird song imitations and an ancient Gaelic ballad about the exploits of King Arthur, a bagpipe tune played on fiddle by the poet Norman MacCaig....!!" Oh, did we mention Alasdair will also be performing live in the studio during the show?

Brace yourself for an experience unlike any other

show 12: utilitarian sex test

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 17.11.11

Even before the internet made you into a lazy listener (it did - admit it), you could usually tell whether an album was going to rip your balls out after a good 30 seconds or so. At least by the end of the first track. Hard feeling to beat, that one - a classic instant reward. Where did they piss off to, eh?

So it's album openers only tonight - 60 minutes of teasing you with the tip while keeping the bulk slyly out of reach, all the time playing with your giddy sense of nostalgia for a time when albums were a sit-down-and-shit affair.

Some of the greatest first tracks in recorded history on this one - everything from songs about your poop-chute through to two cunts on the horse recording what most folks refer to as 'their joke album'. Grimmest joke going.

And if you don't like arses and smack, we've got some grind.

Dicks out!

Stark bollock naked next to a guinea pig double check for smeared poo pellets all over the plastic sheets thank fuck praise the lord straight into the shower catch sight of yourself in the mirror cheap cloudy lemonade hand shandy deep breath check balls for lumps another day in paradise.

Who says I never play any pop music? OK, so I'm being a bit disingenuous... Tangles isn't pop music like yer Mam used to jive to. It's an aquatic exploratory drift through a half remembered, pre sleep capturing of something fucking sublime. There is far too much cynicism (most of it emanating from cunts like me) in the world these days. Tangles music makes me want to be so much less of a bastard, and, really, that's what we should all be aiming for.

Sure, it IS pretty stuff... I mean, this shit has a transitory beauty, some heavenly line of flight that soars through eyes-rolled-into-the-back-of-your-skull pedal pummeled bliss rock... but that's to miss the point entirely... it swirls, it trickles, bobs up and down in crystalline drip drip drips til it cakes your eyes with snowflakes an everything gets a bit kaleidoscopic... if half of those hypno/nugaze/whatever fruits meant it as much as Tangles did then we would all have saved A LOT of our precious time over the last few years.

So tonight the whole show is a big fat sexy Tangles takeover. Ricky will be picking some tunes that are currently getting him all hot under the collar then he's gonna play live.

Don't say I never treat you right.

red room dream

The Red Room // 15.11.11

On this week's episode of The Red Room, we reviewed the incredible Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. gig at Nice 'n' Sleazy, as well as films by Andrea Arnold (Wuthering Heights), Wojciech Has (The Hourglass Sanatorium), and Alfred Hitchcock (Shadow of a Doubt). We also discussed our band, Redwings, and our recent inclusion in Radar Scotsman's Best of the Rest annual list.

In other news, we also discussed our rediscovery and love of coffee (black as midnight on a moonless night, with three spoonfuls of granulated happiness), we reminisced about our audio experimentation as children, and we debated on public transport etiquette. We did not reach a consensus.

In other news, we discussed our recent trip to Edinburgh to participate in a ghost walk, the journalistic integrity of gossip magazines, and rapidly approaching winter and the ensuing bitter cold. Bitter!

On the subject of films, we discussed Tim Burton's Batman, Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future, and Stephen Frears' High Fidelity.

In other news, we discussed the joys of taking care of a puppy, the sorrows of overstuffed burritos, as well as debating on just why the clock changes during winter.

In other news, Jenny had a go at hosting the first half hour of the show herself, we ranted about the judgemental attitude of the Wii Fit, we discussed our passion for making cakes (banana cake and coconut cake, respectively), and who would be on our "list".

We're excited to have the two hour show to ourselves, expect fresh vibes and genre jumping, from house and techno to electro funk and everything else in between.

newest jams for cold days

Codeine Drums // 14.11.11

First off, our apologies for the show being 45 minutes this week instead of an hour - we had technical difficulties that held us up. We'll be back to an hour like normal next time.

This week Jamie was riding solo without Lauren, but what was lost in talk was definitely gained in good music - there's a little bit of everything in this one here. We're listening to Drake's sophomore effort 'Take Care' and getting a feel of it, and we're loving the Jamie xx/Gil Scott Heron sample.

We've also got a track from the B. Bravo release, which is out on the brand new Earnest Endeavours label of London. Already a respected and event promotions group otherwise known as Patchwork Pirates and Thugs & Hugs, they represent a tight knit creative family from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and even brought the incredible Dante's Fried Chicken to our shores.

We wish them every success in the new label.

Hold tight for more exclusive mixes coming your way.

Thanks for listening,

This week's (late night) broadcast includes my first ever use of a split 7" on Songs for Singles (coming from Tomutonttu and Oneohtrix Point Never), three short songs from the highly recommended debut record by Wire, and more stellar stuff from the Music Ruins Lives label. Genre-wise, then, I suppose it's a mix of sludge, post-punk, avant-drone and indie-pop for the forever alone. Featuring new/recent material by Girls and Atlas Sound. Parallax could be Bradford Cox's strongest record to date under the Atlas Sound moniker - what do you think?

kaleidoscope // 31.10.11

Recorded on Halloween, Nap on the Bow, looks to the pagan festival in search of spooky, bouncy and synthy delights. Im not talking your traditional pumpkin bumpkin nonsense or cheap thrill scares, its the kind of playlist that lends to the unknown, mysterious, possessive and obsessive. From Joy Division to White Noise there is an eerie atmosphere. A special 'Trick of Treat' mix is "brewed up" which appeals to the disturbed and takes from the disturbing. Ghosts and ghouls will not be found on this episode. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

The Organs of Love, latest signing to Optimo's label tolerate a series of stupid puns from the host, and even STaG make a visit to talk about the toilets in The Flying Duck.

Actually, it's Vile who does that. STaG talk about their festival of short plays. Other guests who have sworn never to come back include Josh Armstrong, fresh from success at the Tron with The Little Match Girl Passion and Meryl from cool new venue The Berekeley Suite.

Look out for the intimate moment between Vile and Producer Harry.

After extensive contract negotiations, empty promises of a rider comprising tonic wine and poppers and a whole range of delightful sexual favours from Crawford (at a time and place chosen by Allan) She Said is delighted to present Glasgow punk/hardcore legends Clocked Out, woop!!

Following an exclusive live set recorded 2 weeks ago before a charmed audience, band members are being rested in a luxury health spa before being chauffeured to the studio for 2 hours of musically debauched self-abuse and sordid chatter.

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.....

Worst Chips Ever // 11.11.11

Sploshing fetish comedown curry stains all over your flannel on a hot date nightmare fucking scenario son gonna have to sort that one out in the bog mid second round of drinks total rubberhead only drinking fanta (telltale titty sign) chewing her off upon your return time to rut get yer wangs oot and rut like the palsied patriarchal blowhards you are. Home in time for a massive teary wank and that. Hell.

It's been a tough week. I've barely slept a wink and it has nothing whatsoever to do with anything even approaching having a good time. I nearly got caught shoplifting again today. And I was sick in broad daylight outside Schuh in town. Seconds later I was that fucking close to being shat on by a pigeon that I can only interpret his last minute swerve to my left as being a pitiful gesture.

Pitied by a fucking pigeon.

You know what makes me feel mildly less agitated on days like this? Tape hiss. Lovely warm reverby tape hiss that you can climb inside and lose yourself in. I recently picked up a load of tapes I'd variously traded, bought, stole, swapped or inherited when I was back home recently, so I've slung you together a mixtape made of tapes. McLuhancy.

Liminal tracing paper noise static, ebullient afrocentricity, staggered sufi verses, PCP huffing psyche howls, squalid high rise minimal synth splats etc.

PLUS.

To celebrate the brand new Hand Loom Lament release from your total fantasy dream girl drone space synthesizer queen Emma Stirner, I've got an exclusive live set recorded in whichever room of her flat she doesn't use for storing her pathologically bagged 'n' backed collection of Weimar period erotic picture books and discarded dueling pistols.

It's a total harrowing drug mess.

Grab the album for no money whatsoever (nowt) here:

telepathic desert

Earthly Matters // 13.11.11

“Well, we’re not really in disguise, it’s just more or less given us our own territory, it’s more about being isolated to where you can go about your own daily business or whatnot and not really be involved, like an isolated community you know and it‘s more peaceful. If you look at some of the other documentaries about undersea life or whatever it just looks so peaceful down there, beautiful, no sunlight, total darkness, but then again how do you really know that, it could be, there’s a lot of area’s we haven’t discovered yet.”

show 11: two hard, one soft, one goat

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 10.11.11

So these dark evening are a bit grim, eh?

Whatever. I fucking love them - it's like being an extra in a film about Norweigan suicide rates every time you leave the house. Which rules.

It's also a great excuse to dig out the mankiest, mouldiest, most po-faced records you've got. You know, the ones you're ashamed to play to your girlfriend. The ones that add a bit of teenage in-ear atmopshere when you're popping over to Sainsbury's to get the stir-in sauce that you could just as easily make yourself.

So with that in mind, I thought I'd put together a show for all the Subcity goat-fiddlers and virgin-burners who see the coldest season as an excuse to listen to the recorded output of convicted murders all day. (And if that recorded output stretches beyond a demo and a split 7", those guys have fucking sold out.)

No female vocalists. No ballads. No benders.

And definitely nothing your mum would like. Unless she's cool as fuck.

*Note - there's a wee burst of silence (5 seconds-ish) about half way through the show - apologies! I made a boo-boo. Normal service resumes pretty quick-sharp, though.*

For the first half of tonight's episode we went deep into the mix with some of our favourite House & Techno doing the rounds at the moment, featuring the likes of Slam, Rob Etherson & Eats Everything. Fortywinks provided this week's Tea Time Rave Off with some dangerous grooves to get you moving into the weekend, plus Tim Narloch, Domsko & Bass City Rollaz fought it out for our Local Hero Award. Trust us, this week it was TIGHT.

We also spent portions of the show discussing our favourite kinds of dogs, bathroom etiquette and its effect on social interactions, as well as debating on what the superior meal was, aubergine and mushroom burritos or hummus wraps?

ango exclusive mini-mix

Codeine Drums // 07.11.11

Continuing our series in exclusive mini-mixes from our favourite producers and DJs, as well as new talent close to our hearts and ears, todays show brings you a very special mix from the one and only ANGO. As one half of the Jacques Greene touring live show, a brilliant house and R&B producer, and one of our favourite Montreal party-starters, ANGO really does brings that lil' something special. We're not quite sure what it is yet, but our mutual love of The-Dream probably has something to do with it.

This exclusive mix of his, made just for us, is a wonderful showcase of his DJ talents as well as his impeccable taste in modern electronic music. Check it out and if you like what you hear, please do buy his brand new release.

It's out on Scotlands own LuckyMe, and it's called Another City Now. Check it here >>>>

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 05.11.11

This show was broadcast on Bonfire Night which literally translates from the French as Good plethora of new music Night. How apt. If you survived blowing your fingers off with live explosives in a bid to impress your girlfriend/8 year old son/crowd of strangers, or managed to avoid incarceration for stealing your neighbours fence to ignite on that pyre you constructed as a homage to the execution of Britain's original terrorist, why not take some time out to listen back to what can quite honestly be described as one of our best shows ever. Probably.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 05.11.11

This episode oddly pairs slow-tempo melancholy (Sun Kil Moon, Mark Hollis of Talk Talk fame) with misanthropic noise-grind (Ultimate Thrush) and eco-terrorist, dulcimer-based black metal (Botanist). The recommended record comes from Alcest, who weave together uplifting soundscapes with a slight black edge on their album "Souvenirs d'un autre monde".

Worst Chips Ever // 04.11.11

Absolute lemon sponge reverberation slabs of primary school rim of the desk table ruler twanging Monday Night Football gladitorial nonce bashing cutting edge film making DAVID SILVA IS GOD stabbing ungrateful Rodger Red Hats in their thighs with a 2HB motherfucker and rendering their left thigh an eternal focus of ennui upon every repeated glance gutted mate you got sparked heavy in summat' like reception. Unlucky.

Tonight... well, I'll be honest. I did no work for this. None whatsoever. I was away making weird noises with the Awkward Sons beforehand, which is no excuse, coz' they still showed up and rinsed it, but aye, got stuff on me mind at the minute... so.

Anyway, dark nights. I fucking hate the cunts. As my magnificent mate Sarah says "you sleep in and it's night again".

Exactly.

I'm pretty sure that the onset of winter is amongst my many hang ups (flying, eating in front of people I don't know, eating food on any plate that isn't white, waiting until I'm just about to piss my strides until I run for the bog, like it's some kind of cosmic challenge to my bowels, not being able to go to bed without the light on when I'm stoned...).

I used to adore it. It meant Christmas, it meant some presents from my parents, living the Thatchero-Blairite credit dream until it went bollocks up... it meant home, it meant the vicarious imbibing of alcohol through the lived in husks of the middle aged.. it was hopeful, basically.

Now my life is like an Aidan Moffat song. A new one. Tax credits, value Tesco bacon, periodically calling up your increasingly aging parents to borrow yet more money to pay back yet more debts. Grim as fuck innit.

So here are some largely miserablist tunes. Fuck you all.

Cheers.

Also, for those of you (surely no one) who is following this series incredibly unsubtle dropping of 90's footballer names into every other show, there is another tonight. Keep noting them down for the chance to win a free copy of the next Ship Canal release (CD-R, vinyl or cassette, we're not fobbing you off with one of the digital releases) and two whole pounds worth of Premium Bonds.

In your wooden space ship.

You arrive at three rows of lights
That stretches indefinitely in all directions.
So, you stop there for a while,
Without realizing...
That you are, in fact,
Standing in front of...

I also had the beautiful Janine and Hamish of Vukovi in to give us a wee tune. They played two of their songs and were later joined by Ross Leighton of Fatherson for a lovely wee rendition of Jimmy Eat World's 'Sweetness'. The song will be available soon on itunes o raise money for a Childline set up children's charityv called Runaway.

marble plated reflects {devonwho & citymouth}

Earthly Matters // 04.11.11

º^º~~~º^º

For this particular broadcast of Earthly Matters, I am pleased and excited to say that there will be an interview from Los Angeles' funk-wizard-meister, Devonwho, and Portland, Oregon's very own experimental beat-centric, Citymouth will be providing a very special guest mix. ^__^

~~~~~~~~~~~~º^º~~~º^º ~~~~~~~~~~~~

DEVONWHO ~~~~~ { K L I P M O D E , A L L ` C I T Y }

--------

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Devonwho is 1/4 of the coast to coast, regional partnership of LA / Philadelphia based Klipmode crew which comprises of a group of four creatively individual, immensely talented, and visionary musical talents, with the others being, Suzi Analogue, Knxwledge, and Mndsgn.

Having grown up and discovering music for the first time in Portland, Oregon, Devonwho would begin to develop an enthusiasm for instrumental based rock music which would subsequently lead to him playing percussion/drums for various funk and blues bands. Despite his passion for bands, it would be the world of electronic music that would capture his attention. From the weird and wonderful and often bewildering sounds of pioneering Warp Records artists such as Aphex Twin, Devonwho would begin to appreciate the subtle and complex sounds of, electronic orientated music and be inspired to create the music that he plays today, all the while still picking up on the leisurely, and profound, tangible feeling of soul-felt bedroom styled beats.   

For a beatmaker, Devonwho certainly stands out from many of his peers. The attractiveness of Devonwho’s work is special for it’s broad musical approach, which provides us with a delightful concoction of fun wrapped gestures, oscillating flourishes of flashy synthesized tinsel-funk melodies and rhythms. Desirably controlled, cool, calm, low-curled, serenely sonorous hip-hop beats, to fine-drawn and obscurely gentle, sci-fi electronic effects and ripples.

  All in all you could say that Devonwho’s music has a steady sense of patience and cheerfulness. It’s good-natured, easygoing, pleasantly relaxing which likes to play around and have fun and discover new ways of approaching music - this is also reflected in the arrangements of his song titles - yet it is deeply uplifting and heartwarming. It’s something you can dance to in a club, or take with you cycling along a nature trail. It’s meant to accompany you everywhere you go.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~º^º~~~º^º ~~~~~~~~~~~~

CITYMOUTH ~~~~~ { D R O P P I N G ` G E M S }

--------

Another resident from Portland, Oregon alongside Devonwho is Citymouth who is a member of the highly magical, and oh so marvelous Dropping Gems label. Dropping Gems are fine ambassadors for capturing and providing our planet with an array of delightfully electronic-led, beat-centric, sound collage mirrors, and reflective sounds. Other organisms from the Dropping Gems label include, Brownbear, DJAO, Natasha Kmeto, Ghost Feet, Rap Class, Gumar and His Magical Midi Band, Nag Champa a.k.a. Bone Rock, Timeboy, and Digifid. It is their mission to provide a reverie of thought for the decades, centuries, and millennia ahead, and whilst we may still be living in the year 2011, these are template sounds, for what music will sound like once our planet decides to co-exist peacefully and humans lay out a platform for a Utopia to discover more and more life out there beyond the milky way.  

Citymouth is a true sentinel of the spaceways. His gathering of sounds, as displayed through his, “ Holodecker EP “, are exhilarating fusions of boogie pastured coiled beats, ethereal sound gatherings that are collected from everyday sounds from the streets to traffic on the roads and the wind brushing against leaves to an effervescent vacuum of weightless electronic circuitry ebulliently jumping from cloud to cloud throughout the stratosphere, never giving up and continuing on shining brightly from dawn to dusk.  

This is the sort of music that makes you feel like you are the catalyst of an activity at the centre of a nucleus. It is the feeling of being apart of something special from the beginning right through to it's culmination. It is your tool that allows you to sculpt the existence of life. As it blends and radiates a variety of scattered colors from a swooping rainbow down upon a zapped, gateway.  His music is the sort that makes you stop everything that you’re doing and has you standing still on the middle of a road or pavement or hill and gaze up into sky at the faint sight of stars in space, making you wish you were up above traveling afar.   

º^º~~~º^º

You can download Citymouth's mix for free, directly from his Soundcloud page on the link provided below.

http://soundcloud.com/citymouth

º^º~~~º^º

Furthermore both Devonwho, and Citymouth feature on this spectacular, "Gem Drops" compilation which is compiled by Dropping Gems and available to download from their bandcamp. The "Gem Drops" compilation also features the likes of Culp, Juj, AL_PD, Shigeto, Sumsun, Ages, Anenon, DTCPU & Filthy Ingredients, Ankaa, The Great Mundane, and yuk. 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

makin' shit guaranteed to bust ya fuckin' melon.

thirty-two // 01.11.11

As one half of the elite Jazz Spastiks, Mikey (Manyana) has really been at the top of his game recently. With their latest album Mode 7, an old school flavoured collaboration with Junclassic, hitting the very tops of the US Hip Hop Charts, and the legend that is Mark Farina queuing up for tracks for his critically acclaimed Mushroom Jazz series, it sure is a good day for REAL hip hop.

In his own time, Mikey loves his house music, be it deep, bumpin' or jackin', every time it's just straight up flavoursome, and he's got the collection to back it up however he may be feeling. We've been trying to get him into the studio for a while now but just kept on putting it back, but the time has finally come.

Expect tracks on wax from a DJ/producer and all round nice guy that we can't big up enough, along with a well rounded warm up from ourselves.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 01.11.11

This is the second broadcast of Source Tags & Mixtapes within the space of a week, and I took the opportunity to do another halloween special, a year after the first. Determined to outdo myself, I booked the studio for two hours and got semi-regular Source Tags contributors Paul McLaughlin and Timothy McQuillian back into the studio. Here you'll find a mix of extreme black metal, eerie electronic, spooky spoken word tales, and - when James T Mckay of The Cosmic Dead stumbles into the studio around 25 minutes before the end - super-hyper space dance. That's when things get a little weird.

Gerald and Zan hobble back into the den of Subcity's studio for another hour of chat and chiptune this Sunday. We wanted to make it worth your while but realised even that is a promise beyond our abilities. You'll get what you're given and sod ye if you complain. It's only free radio, innit? So we'll see you there then.

we carry on

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 29.10.11

This is the first of two planned episodes of Source Tags & Mixtapes within the space of a week. Paul McLaughlin guests as we broadcast before attending local band Dananananaykroyd's final ever Glasgow show. We follow up the opening track from their second and last album with a classic single from one of Scotland's most loved bands The Delgados. Scottish music double blow.

There's also some great post-rock flavoured stuff from FareWell Poetry - the recommended record this week is their debut "Hoping For The Invisible To Ignite". Also here: New Wavves (feat. members of Fucked Up), underrated Smashing Pumpkins stuff and some nice trip-hoppy sounds from Phantogram. There's also a track from Ripple'Field (Aaron Kelley from Airs' solo project) which we enjoyed so much words failed us. Paul put it better when he reviewed the debut album over at his Youtube channel.

Tune in post-halloween (Nov. 1st 00.00 - 02.00) for a (hopefully) guest-heavy halloween themed show. We'll be giving away 2 tickets to (MF) DOOM at the Arches, so get on it.

Metropolis Sound // 28.10.11

On Metropolis Sound D&B tonight we're staying strictly clear of the Halloween bandwagon and focusing instead on a hefty batch of new drum and bass releases.

I've got my hands on the Way Of The Warrior LP on Shogun Audio featuring Icicle, Rockwell, Alix Perez, Dbridge, Phace, Spectrasoul and more, plus Fierce's new album on Quarantine including co-labs with SPY, Jubei and Vicious Circle. In the bag I've also got Skeptical's Blue Eyes EP on Ingredients and a tasty Calibre remix of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

With Thalia out of action in a mid-term essay crisis, Eleanor takes on the show by herself. In an attempt not to embarrass herself completely, she turns to some old favorites and sneeks in some banned by Thalia material. With a full update on those all important questions such as - what drives Kate Hudson to make only terrible rom-coms and a definitive answer to all those is she/ isnt she Beyonce pregnancy rumours, lets hope Thalia returns next week.

Echolalia // 16.10.11

We were lucky enough to have the amazing Tin man in the studio for this episode. He gave us a bunch of poems including CHILD OF EDEN and LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL.

An amazing man with enough of a sense of humor to put up with my ramblings! We discussed his inspirations, his love of urban camel treks, the KLF and pre-theatre dinners for pensioners amongst other things.

Into the mix we add music from Bong Water, Vic Chestnutt, the John Knox Sex Club, Adam said Galore and PJ Harvey. So grab a glass and enjoy!

New tape minge from Sonic Oyster, crippled electronics from another one of Mattin's brilliant collaboration projects, splodgy African 80s synth action that would give Sherwood's productions a run, and a choir of deaf children.

Tonight, because I'm still proper out of whack from Supersonic festival, I'm going to have a go at just mixing. Mixing live, all the way through, no chat after the start. The Shock Of The New, eh?

It's called Dissociative Blues. It's kind of like an improvised mixtape germinated in a laptop and forced to consume data interpretations of a third rate William Gibson hack novelist.

But it's all a bit frazzled and cyborgcock and pre-pass out, so get in about it.

It was all about those pesky Duo boys this week as Will Da Beast provided a super-phat, turbo mix in for our Tea Time Rave Off. With the likes of JME, Mosca, Zinc & Brenmar all crammed into ten minutes you can expect your fair share of bass. On top of that, they also featured in our Local Hero run down competeting against Gary Beck and a new collaboration between Fall & Bronagh Monahan. New music also came from Domsko, Mia Dora, Colo and Cur$es...it were well tight.

new york, new york

Guns of Bristol // 27.10.11

New York, such a beautiful disease. Walking around the Brooklyn streets, listening to the echoes and sounds. Filtering chillout from the crowd. Breathing in the contagious bacterias of musical toxines. Come over, die peacefully around the sounds in the middle, speak softly 'New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down.' Musical katharsis, to be a new born again, you first have to die.

kaleidoscope // 19.09.11

From dancing like no one is watching, to encouraging you to dig out your rusting bike and peddle back to Summer in a last ditch attempt to remember warmth, this episode blends nostalgia with observation. A half hour mix of a dilemma between heart bursting optimism to doubt to mulling things over, carefully summaries a recording of images and sounds. 2 hours of new finds, old favourites and random musings. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

tuff wax special

Codeine Drums // 24.10.11

After playing some tracks sent to us by the Tuff Wax crew in Aberdeen, we decided - what better way to get a feel for a promising new Scottish label than to have them record a mini-mix for us to play out? The result is one half of todays broadcast. After selling out a hometown show for their record release party at the weekend, and Yoin's 'Martial Status' now available to buy through Tuff Wax, the boys have a lot to celebrate. Ears to the ground for these guys.

As well as the mini-mix, we are having something of a Planet Mu overload today. Severant (the debut album from Kuedo, aka formally one half of dubstep duo Vex'd) is a stunning release, and goes to show that good things truly are worth waiting for.

As well as these debuts, the Bangs & Works Vol .2 footwurk/juke compilation and the King Midas Sound remix album are getting serious rotation from us right now.

We always try to keep it as new as possible for you all, and today is no exception.

Earthly Matters // 23.10.11

“We’re so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past, like ancient stars that have burned out, are no longer in orbit around our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about every day, too many new things we have to learn. New styles, new information, new technology, new terminology … But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever, like a touchstone.”

Synth // 19.10.11

This week's show was a lot of fun, not least because I (Alaska) had to keep clearing my throat (it sounded like Father Jack regurgitating twenty years of cigarette depositary) but also because we had Mixking's NoFace in the mix, throwing down ten minutes of bouncy Hip Hop, RnB and Ghetto-Crunk. Check out the links below, he's probably one of the most talented boys we know.

We also went in on a bit of a House tip to start the show with some classic material from HaHaHa & Raksha, plus new stuff from Pablo Rez and Dynamode. Finally, our Local Hero award came right down to the wire with Mia Dora, Domsko & Simon Stokes all in the running...serious heat.

Fraser has dug into the vaults and dug out some stuff that he's overlooked previously but now they're seeing the light of day.

You might yourself rediscover some favourites and then again they might be entirely new to you but it's all great stuff.

2011 rap special

Codeine Drums // 17.10.11

Rather than align ourselves with the a-typical hoards of hip hop fans around the world who seem to be constantly mourning the 'death of rap', year in, year out, we believe that the past 12 months has been great for rap music.

The classic criticisms of rap - shitty mixtapes, an over-saturated market, weighted emphasis on materialism and general rap beefs showing otherwise talented artists to be narrow-minded and discouraging of new faces - are being tackled in 2011 with much success thus far.

Mixtapes are constantly improving. Their quality as a serious promotional tool, as well as providing a more immediate and DIY approach to releasing music, has shone through in recent months. There's far less DJ shout-outs and more attention to detail. We can only welcome this move.

In terms of people to watch, Kendrick Lamar is doing great things, Yelawolf's debut album 'Radioactive' drops this November, and even Kreayshawn is featured on the cover of Complex. Wut. Rap is certainly more diverse than it's ever been. Beef still goes on though. Kreayshawn vs Rick Ross seems to be alive and well(and thankfully so is Rick Ross himself). Seriously though - Kreayshawn, back off girl. Ross is boss.

On the commercial angle of rap, the Occupy Wall Street protests have attracted U.S. rappers like Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, David Banner and Kanye West to the streets. But how can the often materialistic lyrical content of some American rap level against the public mood of today? Russell Simmons was boo'ed on camera in NYC this week as being 'part of the problem'. Hmmm.

2011 is shaping up to be a fire year for rap.

Shout out to Into The Swamp for some of these tracks.

Foreign Thoughts // 03.11.11

It has been nearly 6 months since the last show. Oops. I did a half arsed hour long show a couple of weeks ago and some of the audio from that will be played soon. Anna Meldrum of Kitty the Lion did a magnificent wee session, and it would be a shame for no one to hear it.

So...on the 3rd of november we shall return with the Kitty the Lion session audio for you all to hear, as well as a nice little studio guest yet to be named.

3rd of november...12-2pm.

37 - chase vampire

Chungo-Bungo // 18.10.11

Returning to the studio for our monthly visit, and October has brought a lot by way of huge releases, dance's, rarities and some nice forthcoming dates.

Tune-wise you can hear the new forthcoming Reggae Roast release Sensi Skank in full, featuring Ruben De Silva, Skinnyman, Murray Man and Placid, and some rub a dub 45 clash tune selection.

We'll also be selecting some of our favourite riddims that have been refueled and revived over the last few years. Expect the likes of Cherry Pie, Sleng Teng, Bam Bam, Shanty Town and more.

Most importantly, we'll be speaking exclusively about our next big dance on 03/12/11. You won't be able to hear about it anywhere else until we get in to November, so make sure you listen closely for the information.

And as you all know as well, this is the only place you'll be able to hear any CB special versions we've recently acquired

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 15.10.11

Notice: unfortunately, the stream for this episode is faulty due to server problems at the time of broadcast. Subcity are doing what they can to fix the audio speed, but some of the audio was also lost and can't be recovered. Apologies, this was beyond our control.

This week, I voice my fascination with ambient and electronic music with a focus on texture and otherworldly sounds. Minimal beats with more of an emphasis on stretched out dronescapes. Including recent material from Tim Hecker and Blanck Mass, and a track from a yet unreleased album from Steve Hauschildt of Emeralds. Hope you like atmosphere. If you want to hear more stuff like this, you can check out the Test Tube netlabel. They have a wealth of free electronic/ambient/drone releases.

Wavy Graves // 15.10.11

Not everyone is satisfied with moody looking b+w press shots of artists posing in some post-industrial landscape looking searchingly just off camera, some prefer to fictionalise like MF Doom, some want to get all po-mo by obscuring identity with mythologised press releases and bios like Hype Williams. Although, we know who Daft Punk are, those retro-futuristic cyborg masks and ensuing movie made those ordinary looking white French dudes seem somewhat alluring.

The most absurd case of anonymity is probably HeWhoWillNotBeNamed from the Dwarves. After a few years of masks and pseudonyms, the band decided to issue a press release stating that the singer had been stabbed - they even attached a tribute to the “late” guitarist on their Sugarfix album. When it was eventually revealed that his death was bullshit, they got dropped by their label and HeWhoWillNotBeNamed had some rather confused parents to deal with. His return from the “dead” was greeted with as much enthusiasm as the return of Superman in 1993.

The three artists that feature heavily on this episode are anonymous for some very different reasons. Whether its due to a concerned effort to remain faceless, or because they’re not preoccupied with having their face plastered on their productions like Pimp Daddy... although, one of them just hasn’t got his press shots done yet.

Constrobuz is a beat maker who emerged in 2009, hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, he mainly favours an orchestral flavour on his tracks, most notably on Fecal Vomiting, he also takes on some sample moments from psychedelic pop and Philly soul. His latest record is available on tape via Cicada Shell and comes with the NB: “These works are not meant to be 12" club tracks.” Constrobuz sent over a selection of his own tracks, which emerge throughout the episode.

DJ Akeera is a producer based in Glasgow who has chosen to remain anonymous. This episode features a mix of juke, comprised mainly of his own productions. If Burial managed nearly two years of total anonymity, perhaps this could last for at least a couple of shows... he is making a mask afterall.

Melvin has an EP primed for release on Chicago label Ghettophiles, his take on the sound synonymous with that label with some UK polish take on. He has sent over some selections of his work, including a track he finished 24hrs before the episode was recorded... so it’s new.

Today Eleanor and Thalia are riding high on the news that Roots Manuva is playing in Glasgow!

In other news... just kidding, what other news could there possibly be?

She Said // 15.10.11

Oh aye, in more ways than one!

So as Derek takes a break on wedding duties (who the hell would invite Derek to a wedding?!), the show is graced with the diminutive but joyous presence of noise merchant and ahem social butterfly, Kenny Love. Famed for his legendary shapes on the dance floor, hedonistic leanings and unfathomable screaming vocals, Kenny has long since acquired 'friend of the show' status so it's about bloody time he stepped up to the mark to avail us of his unique view of the world. Aye...and he's got some right good music taste as well.

Happy days

Worst Chips Ever // 13.10.11

Don't cry for Steve Jobs cry for the jobless 24 hour commodity fetishism flowers outside a fucking living corporate tomb some entire lifes work dedicated to making things easier better faster bro never wrote a single episode of Dads Army or got heavy wreckoed with John Renbourne slavering techno oblivion humping off the back of Ayn Rands skid marked test tube baby you can shove yer silicon valley up yer caramac pipe hippy no long hairs allowed.

Apologies for leaving you hanging there sugarpop. Me and Chris Awkward been smashing it at the Tusk festival in Newcastle. Intense man to man bacon swapping aktion.

Back, although not necessarily with any bone.

Last episode I piped new shit from a brand new label down your vibro-holes. This week it's all about pure old stuff. Like, before Ipads and that. Round the time of the third or fourth episode of Our Friends In The North like.

The Homosexuals done got a fair claim at being one of the most champion overlooked and downright inspirational cabals in all of the UK punk scene... although int' it, really... I mean, punks all postcards and mohawks and growing up to be a property developer for a lot of folk eh? Not these cunts.

They always sounded so fucking indoors, like everything outside their own windows was full of danger... luckily though they had obviously raided the only freak bloke in the neighbourhoods record collection before they decided to birth their own eco system squat experiments, snorting up otherworldly psyche, heavy dub and porno garage spunk, occasionally ripping up the odd cracked hook from somewhere behind the back of the sofa and casually frittering it away into a pan with some beans and farting it back out into the ether as some loop heavy homespun concrete project.

I love them.

And if that sounds wank, check what Forced Exposure had to say about the pimpin' three disc Astral Glamour collection that Messthetics put out a bit ago:

"They wrote and recorded for five years, but they never took out an advert, sent out a promotional record, or got paid for a gig. The legend has grown, and today the Homosexuals are arguably the most acclaimed-and-least-heard band of the postpunk era."

When Forced Exposure speaks, you bloody well listen. Standard.

I love them.

The best thing about them was that they were the total forerunners of that 2000s explosion of different bedroom bound fuckers pumping out new blats every other week under different names, often with markedly different results but always with that... summat...

You know when you've heard a Homosexuals related record. You just do.

So tonight, I'm bringing you a mix of some of my favorite homo related releases, all tossed out there by Black Noise or It's War Boys, their D.I.Y up yours moneybags labels. This shit was a beacon back in the day.

And I'm also gonna play you some wild new stuff from the likes of John Olson and Nate Youngs alcoholically spooked bass/sax/electronics duo Stare Case, some harrowing Romanian funeral folk, private press German synth obscura, some totally what-the-fuck Russian industrial bass and some kid from the states who sounds like he lunches on Jolly Ranchers and shoves E's up his arse for supper.

No Sleep // 14.10.11

On tonights show we welcome Frazer Devine and Jaya into the studio for a mix /interview. Frazer & Jaya have been very busy recently with there Depth charge night, building a reputation as a credible house night leaning towards the deeper side.

show 8: fucking you and your new shoes

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 13.10.11

A wise man once said: "I don't want to be one of those pricks that sits round listening to OSTs all day".

Amen to that. So, on that sentiment, you're lucky that these two pricks sat round listening to OSTs all day so that you only have to suck up an hour's worth of them... Some of our favourite pieces of music from films, or some pieces of music from our favourite films. Either way, it's going to be a belta.

king of compilations

Build And Destroy // 13.10.11

We love compilations. They are a great way to get access to lots of different music in one go. It's great when your favourite artist makes a compilation up with their favourite tunes, or a record label compile one of all their vinyl releases. In fact, we even like all those old NOW compilations too. So tonight, we'll be playing tunes from a variety of compilations.

We hope you can tune in and discover something new and unheard to you.

We also had tricked-out flavours from the likes of Rustie, S-Type and Thiskk while Daniel Donnelly, Julius Funkhouser & Sei A fought out a closely contested battle for our Local Hero award.

I've got new vocals and instrumentals to play from the likes of Wiley, Manga, Little Dee, Typikal, Gasp, Perfect Practice, Lex, Nocturnal, Konchis, Teddy and Preditah as well as a crazy new track featuring Snoop Dogg, P Money, D Double E & Professor Green spitting over a fresh True Tiger beat.

I'll also been throwing in some chilled out oldies from Physiks, Loki & Bill Breaks.

bjork - return of the ice queen

Guns of Bristol // 13.10.11

Bjork is an unquestionable queen of experimental electronica and downtempo. With her recent release of 'Biophilia' it would be a shame not to present her work and with the exploding diversity of her music, I quickly realised she would steal the show and outshine all the other artists I could include in the episode. And whether you have grown to love the biggest contemporary pop star of our times or not, her over 30 years career and involvement in music, film, education and activism gives a great story to tell. So turn on your speakers and listen to the story.

We also announced several more artists for our Exploding Plastic Glasgow exhibition on 17 October at the Rio Café, as well as our next gig; Redwings, The Radiation Line and Noma at The Flying Duck, Glasgow on 22 October.

In addition to all that, we discussed such varying topics as the feeling gleaned from owning a material possession previously thought unattainable, the dos and do not dos of cooking quinoa, and the moral implications of microwaving one's breakfast cereal.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 08.10.11

We can't go providing exciting and talented new guests on every show now can we (no basically)? So on tonight's show we're presenting a special "no guest" special. It's all about Layman and Romance back to back. The way it should be. Expect a whole slew of new music and some old stuff too. Tune in at ten or listen again whenever. Oh and if you want to spark some form of interesting and/or topical debate email the studio via studio@subcity.org. We look forward to hearing from you.

UPDATE:O-kay. So, we weren't entirely honest with you when we said that this was going to be strictly a no guests special. Sorry guys but we managed to secure the last minute services of local medical man Dr. Phil, who very kindly agreed to pass on some of his extensive medi-knowledge to you our listeners. Thanks to all who sent in their medical nightmares. We hope Dr. Phil's advice helped.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 07.10.11

After the international success of the national tour, Vile struggled with his increased fame. Increasingly aggressive towards Producer Harry, and arranging the programme according to an erratic internal poetry, the Radio Hours of late 2011 were only held together by the consistent quality of the guests. For one episode, he called on the mighty Paul Puppet from Scunner and Spangled Cabaret, the cheeky Des O'Connor just before his experimental vaudeville sent his profile stratospheric, science fiction master, poet and rapper Bram Gieblen, an expert on Kandinsky and spiritual realism and a Proud Granny.

Overtone-heavy electric blues straight off Alan Licht's Minimal Top 10 list.

Psilocybin mushroom rituals from the throat of a Mexican curandera.

Heart-bursting '50s doo-wop drenched in eternal echo.

And devotional bedroom electronics with a massive stonker for Terry Riley's never-recorded krautrock masterpiece.

zigaretten nach berlin

Techno and drugs. Mountains of drugs. We Children from Bahnhof Zoo. Or the other way round. Rigid traditionalists with and sterile environment. Scratch that. Goethe and Faust. Wagner. And Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'. Oktoberfest and Wurst. Or differently. Love parades. Colourful streets, cafes, bookshops, restaurants and clubs. And the grey concrete skyscrapers of city jungle. The city, once divided by the Berlin wall. The country, once divided by the war. The opposites and contradictions fascinated with each other once they met in the early 90's gave birth to one of the most eclectic scenes of the world, which prides itself with the great selection of electronic music.

Earthly Matters // 09.10.11

In the early 1970s, Harold E. Puthoff and Russell Targ joined the Electronics and Bioengineering Laboratory at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). In addition to their mainstream scientific research work on quantum mechanics and laser physics, they initiated several studies of the paranormal. These were supported with funding from the Parapsychology Foundation and the newly-formed Institute of Noetic Sciences.

Remote viewing experiments test the ability to gather information about a remote target consisting of an object, place, or person that is hidden from the physical perception of the viewer and typically separated from the viewer by some distance. In one type of remote viewing experiment, a pool of several hundred photographs are created. One of these is randomly selected by a third party to be the target. It is then set aside in a remote location.

The remote viewer attempts to sketch or otherwise describe that remote target photo. This procedure is repeated for a number of different targets. Many ways of analytically evaluating the results of this sort of experiment have been developed. One common method is to take a group of seven target photos and responses, randomly shuffle the targets and responses, and then ask independent judges to rank or match the correct targets with the participant's actual responses. This method assumes that if there were an anomalous transfer of information, the responses should correspond more closely to the correct targets than to the mismatched targets.

admiral fallow in session

The Pop Cop // 09.10.11

Louis Abbott has his finger in more pies than a pastry chef. Most commonly known as the frontman of much-loved folk-rockers Admiral Fallow, he also plays guitar in Song Of Return, is a member of The Moth & The Mirror, conductor of Blochestra and hosts the open-mic night at Bloc. Oh, and he does drumming on the side.

Admiral Fallow have been the only Scottish recipient of The Pop Cop's annual Album of the Year award, which they picked up in 2010 for their stunning debut record Boots Met My Face.

Tune in for a couple of exclusive acoustic tunes live in session from Louis - both earmarked for Admiral Fallow's second album - as well as some chat from the man himself.

rebirth

The Red Room // 04.10.11

After five months of silence, The Red Room has returned. We spent out first show back discussing how our summers went, reviewing gigs by Tenniscoats, Damo Suzuki, Lydia Lunch, The Seventeenth Century, Wounded Knee, The Cosmic Dead, Music is the Music Language, The Electric Frog, as well as our own exhibition at Beanscene in August.

We also discussed TV shows we had become obsessed with, including Breaking Bad and Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well as marathon viewings of the original Star Wars trilogy, our next exhibition at The Rio Café on 17 October (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=235474896503964), and our infatuation with Glasgow's burrito culture, centred around the supreme Glasgow Mega Burrito (http://glasgowmegaburrito.blogspot.com/).

thirty-two // 04.10.11

On this weeks episode we have Subcity stalwart Shaun Fae Solar, who, alongside being a humanized encyclopedia of the station, helps co-ordinate some of the finest parties ever to grace our fair city for Vitamins.

In his free time Shaun likes to collect rare wax, give out abuse over the phone live on air and collect stats for the masses.

He's taken some time out of his busy schedule to throw it down in the studio today, and we've been promised it's going to be a bounce.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 08.10.11

This week, I'm excited to bring to you a special two-hour long session featuring an exclusive interview with Connecticut-based musician Dan Barrett. Dan is involved with several home recording projects, namely Have a Nice Life, Nahvalr, and Giles Corey, his solo project. He's also behind ENEMIES LIST HOME RECORDINGS, the record label that "wages war on music". Think of this one as a great big Enemies List mixtape which showcases their artists, complete with some insight as to how the label operates and why everything they do is so exciting and significant to modern music.

Special thanks (again) to Dan for agreeing to take the time out on such short notice to do the interview, and for being so insightful.

Remember to follow along on Facebook and Twitter if you're new to Source Tags & Mixtapes.

Codeine Drums // 03.10.11

This week, we bring you some sounds from a young Aberdeen-based label called Tuff Wax.

Although we are an internet-based radio show, and station, we very much feel that we are a Scottish show. We love to support our local musicians, party-starters and everything in between, not only because talent deserves a platform regardless of genre or style, but also because we are often personally attached to or invested in those individuals. So when Tuff Wax Records got in touch, we were happy to play some of their records. Let us know what you think, and check them out for yourselves too on Facebook.

http://www.facebook.com/tuffwax

On top of that, we have some new rap mixtape joints from the U.S., some melodramatic R&B from The-Dream's personal moniker/project (what else?) and the new Sepalcure (forthcoming on Hotflush).

Much love,

Posted at 13:13, 4th October 2011

Animal Farm // 04.10.11

As this week, in conjunction with Subculture, Animal Farm bring one techno's luminaries MORITZ VON OSWALD along with long time friend and collaborator TIKIMAN, I thought we would take a special look at the deep and wonderful world of Dub Techno.

In the first hour we'll take a look at the more contemporary edge of the genre and how Moritz's (alongside Mark Ernestus) blueprint has inspired a generation of producers to follow in their rather large footsteps.

The second hour will be dedicated to the pick of Animal Farm's favourites from the many original tracks and remixes from Basic Channel/ Maurizio / Rhythm & Sound / Main Street back catalogue.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 30.09.11

Musical guests and Glasgow festivals dominate the bill this week. Eddie Harrison drops in, in advance of the Mental Health Festival this month. Nick Spaghetti comes to the studio to fill us in on touring Europe with United Fruit (French government trumps the British on grassroots arts funding). More from him next week in the form of William Douglas and Willy Mason in interview. Peter Clerke and Frodo of Rhymes with Purple cover cabaret and theatre talking about Occasional Cabaret, and the Glasgow Cabaret Festival respectively. With a slight overrun to finish off, Lea Cummings at long last joins us in the studio to talk Kylie Minoise, Opaque, actions (not performances) and other projects with an exclusive track from Angel of Everyone Murder.

guest dj - bungo (chungo bungo)

Gutter Riddim // 09.10.11

This week Reggae selector and Bass enthusiast Bungo will be joining me in the studio and bringing the vibes with a heavweight guest mix.

Bungo is the co-founder of Glasgow Reggae collective Chungo Bungo and has been doing big things in the scene in the past year with his good friend and fellow DJ, Chungo. As you can see from his solo show here on Subcity you can expect to hear anything from Hip Hop, Garage & Grime to Jungle, Reggae & Dancehall and everything inbetween. So sit back, crank the levels up high and prepair for some heavy bass music.

Straight dubplate fire on this one.

Check out myself and Bungo's B2B session on Gutter Riddim back in May here and listen to some exclusive Chungo Bungo dubplates and mixes on their Soundcloud page here.

kylie minoise walks with us.....

She Said // 08.10.11

So it’s quite conceivable this show will see the mighty Lea Cummings (aka Kylie Minoise) crash into the Subcity Studio, blood cascading from a streaming head wound, microphone in hand, body writhing in jerking movements on the floor, pained screams fighting to be heard over a crescendo of loosely structured noise.

Alternatively, we might just settle for some informative and memorable chatter and get him to select a few tunes!!

Let’s wait and see……

I'm still buzzing from a pretty killer week overall, and I think it shows on this one. Check out a couple of new tracks from Mastodon and The Twilight Sad and listen to me give my first impressions, whynot.

This episode's pretty all over the map genre-wise, but if you've listened to the show before I guess you've come to expect that.

Good vibes this week. Next week I'm going to be doing something I've never tried on the show before, so stay tuned. Especially you, Enemies List fans.

In addition to several music video observations both past and present alongside the usual patter of labels and releases, Kaleidoscope finds a new format in it's return. 2 hours of music, including a straight up, no lyin', cryptic half an hour mix from the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes webbing more musing and thoughts. xx

Worst Chips Ever // 29.09.11

Shibboleth ribcage hardon the great English eccentric and his record breaking number of gnomes culturally anachronistic that he should wear cowboy boots boring boring guitar pish Jam and Spoon these men have given of their lives inside that cell tonight is there anything more fucking agonizingly long ball game than a tweed polite cunt ale geek alerted to the existence of the proletariat in a skip outside Leyton Buzzard is there fuck mate.

Heavy rinse or heavy mince? YOU DECIDE.

Tonight it is my absolute fucking pleasure to dedicate most of the show to celebrating the launch of Exotic Pylon Records.

Exotic Pylon is like some triple (four, five?) hardwired one man matrix of fucking getting off your arse and DOING something. It's the brainchild of my bro Jonny Mugwump, who has been bringing you the mighty weirdo echo chamber of heavy warp shtick that is Exotic Pylon radio on Resonance FM and Fnoob.com for proper time now.

I ripped that shit off summat' proper for this show, that's for sure.

Jonny is also the brains and balls behind the monthly EP nights at The Vortex in London, bringing you the likes of SHACKLETON, MORDANT MUSIC, EKOPLEKZ, NEIL LANDSTRUMM, ANDY STOTT, ENSEMBLE ECONOMIQUE and a bacon butty load more live interceptions... I'm told that the lad eats occasionally, although how he has time amid all that finger in pie shit I will never know.

But he does, and the world is a better place for it innit.

So tonight I'm gonna play you some forthcoming tracks from the label, including absolute pencil sharpeners from The Lord and Infinite Livez before indulging in the on air equivalent of one of those soul crushingly artificial porno's in which some dead behind the eyes seasoned vet of the game flicks one out in some shabbily converted suburban garage until the most artifical of orgasms... I'm gonna play you my set from last months Exotic Pylon Live at The Vortex.

*FULL LINKS AND DETAILS TO ALL EXOTIC PYLON INFO WILL BE UPPED AFTER THE BROADCAST (I'VE HAD A LONG DAY YOU GET ME?)*

Thrust club provided perhaps our finest Tea Time Rave Off to date with a ten minute mix which literally made us kak our pants, plus Beta, Rustie and HiRO stepped up to the plate for our Local Hero award.

jeg elsker musikk

Guns of Bristol // 29.09.11

'Jeg elsker Musikk.' means in Norwegian 'I love music.', and if you really do, open yourself to new horizons. Talking about music from Norway, the first thing that you may think of is metal, but in the collision of sounds and colours of the white nights chillout was also miraculously born. And here the synth flutes and acoustic guitars befriend the empty spaces of experimental jazz. Norwegians know how to make them work together in a perfect balance.

Codeine Drums // 26.09.11

Thank you to every single person that came to The IVY last night to see some of our favourite Montreal residents - Jacques Greene and Ango - play some dope records and make girls dance like crazy. Dumb Southern rap always sounds better when there's a whole-pub singalong (with hand actions).

We DJ in The IVY the second Wednesday of every month, 9pm til 12am, so if you want to hear more of the kind of music we play on the show in a more personal setting (plus awesome food, alcohol and vibes) then come down and see us some time. We love seeing you all!

This week is back into the swing of things after the new term, with our standard eclectic mix of rap, hip hop, R&B and general electronic goodies. White labels and 'forthcomings' all round.

Thanks to all the listeners

av take over

Animal Farm // 27.09.11

This week the boys from AV takeover the Subcity studio to preview their upcoming event @ Chambre 69 with Pokerflat's ANDRADE

AV returns with another quality line up having found a new subterranean dwelling in Glasgow city centre. Located underneath Urban outfitters on Buchanan street, Chambre 69 will host the next wave of AV parties with the team enhancing the club with their updated visual rig and musical selection.

This October AV bring's Parisian young pup Andrade into town for his Glasgow debut which is not one to be missed. Olivier has been cooking up a storm on the continent this year, releasing his 'Talk About' E.P on the highly acclaimed Poker Flat recordings and gaining respect from reputable house heavy weights Steve Bug, Karotte, Milton Jackson, Ralph Lawson and Alex Niggemann. Well known for his 'funky, post-minimal tech house' productions, Andrade reflects this in his Dj sets so expect plenty of solid, chunky house music with a splash or two of techno on the night.

AV resident Eddie Wagner and Animal Farm's Darren Quail will finish the night off b2b and the warm up will be provided by local veteran Dj, Colin Mclaren - back by popular demand after last years bouncing set in December! As always, AV's Andrew Winton will furnish the walls with a super abundance of visual entertainment………………….. so get your fine asses down!

Afterparty activities will also take place as usual at the not so secret - secret location x

Ahsan is away on business (how very grown up) so it's Graham holding down the fort for this instalment of Braille. Kicking things off nice and slow, I'll be easing you out of the weekend and picking up the pace as the show goes on. I don't do microphones so don't expect a lot of chat, just sexy vibes followed by a bit of obligatory bass.

EDIT: As a nice surprise, Simon from Beat Beneath joined us for a little b2b session for the last hour, possibly his last session in the Subcity studio for a couple of months.

This was definitely our first show back of this year, with all new, bonanza FRESH material that hasn't been ripped from an unsuccessful earlier show, and anyone who told you otherwise was a liar. One of Shabazz's boys, was it? What, cat got your tongue?

In this show we play tracks relating to Summer - predominantly new releases, discoveries and purchases from the past few months since we've been off-air. Tom Vek, Tim Key, Kurt Vile...and other, less linguistically harmonious artists.

We also attempt a 'bit' with some soft cell sampling (won't be trying that again)

techno bizness

Beat Beneath // 26.09.11

After last show's excursions into slower, deeper territory, this week's Beat Beneath plans to start where we left off by kicking off with a few tracks of subtle, experimentally-tinged beats then brushing all that aside to launch into some proper dark techno smashers from the likes of Mike Dehnert, Skudge, a certain side-project-of-a-side-project named Pacific Blue and of course many more. Expect pounding bass, warehouse vibes and big minor chords aplenty.

You will not forget the first time you encounter Small Scale Collisions in real time. Their music resonates with pulses of energy and sound form, with sparkling tones sometimes apparent, occasionally implied. Words can be spoken whilst carefully crafted imagery focuses the stare. There is a very real sense of something new, urgent and compelling.

It is indeed a privilege that Gary and Ant will bless She Said with some material recorded exclusively for the show. We await their sounds, their words and their insight with a gently drawn breath.

The Pop Cop // 25.09.11

We're back! It's the first show proper of the new term and we've got Emma's Imagination in the studio playing two songs and chatting to mark the special occasion. Since doing this, Emma has been living the high life in London, so we had to pull out all the stops to lure her back to the motherland.

Emma has had two top-10 singles, her debut album entered the UK charts at No.14 and she received a cheque for £100,000 from Sky for winning talent contest Must Be The The Music - but is she happy? It's time to find out...

this is just another retread

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 24.09.11

There's a bit of déjà vu this week on the show as I present to you the true ending to last week's show, the other 7" from Divorce I promised to pick up earlier and another Thrice song, even though I played one on the last episode. Don't worry though, this one's from their pretty damn impressive new album, "Major/Minor".

This episode also dedicates nearly twenty minutes to Jesu in the form of two tracks from their self-titled record, which I highly recommend. I have to force myself not to play Jesu every single week on the show, so I guess this helped me get it out of my system. For now.

Oh, and I play some Planning For Burial - one of his latest tracks.

You know me.

nosleep. feat. ronin (live)

No Sleep // 23.09.11

This weeks show features an really talented young producer residing in Glasgow called Ronin.

We are delighted to welcome him on the show for an exclusive listen to his new Live set, he has been working on over the past few months.

news & summer special

Digital Domination Radio // 23.09.11

There's been a few changes here at Stomp HQ, namely that the show now goes out live on air at the new slot of Fridays at 2100hrs. You can of course still access the shows via 'Listen Again' if you can't manage to tune in live.

The other change you'll notice is the show is now one hour long, this is purely due to personal circumstances (I went back to uni so I need more time for beer*) but it means I'll be working extra hard to bring you the best industral tunage I can possibly squeeze in to that one hour of hardcore awesomeness.

DD returns to Subcity on 23rd September with a special summer show, I'll be playing a whole load of summer releases & other little nuggets of greatness I acquired while we took our summer break.

Stay in the rhythm!

Eleanor and Thalia are back in the studio after a long, not so hot summer of nothingness. In our first episode back we eat skittles, play music and chat hip hop. Desperately trying to think of something interesting to say about our lives these past months, we resort as ever to the late great tupac - 'ambitionz az a ridah'.

northern soul special

Funky Junk // 24.09.11

Funky Junk returns to the Subcity net-waves for the new season with a Northern Soul 'special edition' episode. Playing a wide selection of both classic hits and rarer grooves, we delve through the record crates of the 1960/70s dance-hall phenomenon.

Playing hits by the likes of Holly St.James, Frank Wilson, Gloria Jones, Martha Reeves, Tammi Terrell and many more. The history and origins of the movement will also be discussed, along with what happened during the long summer lull, but as with everything Northern Soul, it's all about the music.

Keep The Faith.

So, after pounding your fucking cocks in at the new Art School Union last night, we're gonna be playing it slow, dark and smokey for this one.

No theme tonight, but I'd say nausea, sleep-deprivation and industrial levels of intoxication will be a fairly constant presence.

red planet

Earthly Matters // 26.09.11

“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”

represent represent!

Synth // 21.09.11

One of our biggest shows to date? Quite possibly. This week featured some of the best music we have ever brought you, all locally sourced and sounding completely fresh. Looking down the tracklist, we featured only two songs from outside Glasgow, with the rest standing testament to just how well the local scene is doing at the moment.

Big tunes came from the likes of Harvey McKay, Forty Winks, Beta and The Revenge, while up and coming rave-tech producer, Click Refresh provided our Tea Time Rave Off, almost blowing the monitors in the process. Our Local Hero award this week could well have been the most closely contested to date, with Daniel Donnelly, Simi Simi and Barrientos turning out some simply incredible music. As we say every week, labels listen up...half this stuff isn't even signed!

* We made a light error when talking about Simi Simi's track 'La Paz' - it is infact new and unsigned and you can check them out here: http://soundcloud.com/simisimi

Guns of Bristol // 22.09.11

In our journey round the scenes of the world, it would be a shame not to stop by Canadian avenues full of vibrant sounds of metropolises and multiculturalism. This diverse atmosphere is favourable to the process of creation of brave new sounds that squeeze the hearts and plug them out. Modern Toronto, gardens of Vancouver and galleries of Montreal set the stage to the soundtrack of the passing time. We might not get a chance to see Aurora Borealis but everything might emerge between the closed eyelids and ears.

Bangers & Mashup // 21.09.11

"In the summertime when the weather's high, you can stretch right up and touch the sky, when the weather's fine.."

- Mungo Jerry: In The Summertime..

There's no denying, when the weather is fine, it makes us feel damn fine, so to kick off our return to the airwaves, we'll be looking back to the summer for your favourite tracks & memories. With the weather getting biblical on our ass', We'll be reminiscing with the likes of Indra, Bungo (Chungo-Bungo), NoFace, Kid Robotik, Pasty 32 & more to talk about what kept them on their feet over the summer.

Also on the show, we have the first of our monthly guest mixes, from none other than Pasteman! With forthcoming releases on Second to None, and Sounds of Sumo, to name a few, and support from the likes of RinseFM, he's currently our one to watch, so we caught up with him briefly, plus grabbed this fresh mix for the show packed full of exclusives. It's also, funnily enough, his birthday today (Sept 21st.) so a massive Happy Birthday is in order, it's definitely one not to miss!

If all that wasn't enough, there will be plenty of floor fillers & new releases aswell in the tracklist, so get locked in from 10pm tonight.

underground sounds

thirty-two // 20.09.11

DJ Dribbler was one of the original four DJ's at the world famous, seminal, house and techno night "Pure" in Edinburgh. As well as residing at Pure nights in Glasgow, London and Dublin he has played all over the world thanks to his stint as Orbital's tour dj in the mid 90s.

He’s been living for ten years in New York DJ’ing and 7 months in Tokyo. During this time he worked closely with Belle and Sebastian organising their aftershow parties across the states and in Japan. He also works with Roots Manuva's "Lord Gosh Sound System" throwing memorable parties in Glasgow and Brooklyn with more to come.

Recent appearances have seen him DJ'ing on Ibiza’s Sonica radio and holding fort every week at the Solid Gold Safari, Glasgow’s only all day free house party every Saturday at the almost as world famous "Halt Bar."

DJ Dribbler defines underground and has been a highly regarded and respected purveyor of the realest house music you will hear anywhere on the planet for the last 20 years.

He also saved a seal once.

Soulful Allsorts // 17.09.11

Soulful Alsorts started off life on Radiomagnetic and originally went out live on a Sunday afternoon. Fraser Dunn built up a good live following and exchanged e mail banter with soul fans from all over the world. Sadly (well for us) radiomagnetic decided to move to a listen on request format.

Soulful Alsorts transferred to Subcity and built its audience above and beyond our old listenership. Today we're in the top five shows on Subcity for live and Listen Again audiences. Our fellow top rated shows include Disco Disco, Vitamins and Screen Shrapnel. We're getting even more e mail than ever before and http://www.essentialmodernsoul.co.nr/ features a topic headed Soulful Alsorts which acted as a chat room. Last Saturday we received our first soul poke via Facebook.

We've set up a Facebook page Soulful Alsorts on Subcity. Head here

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Soulful-Allsorts-on-Subcity/200170500043237

We're still playing the best in soul music and we're taking Soulful Alsorts on the road. More details on next week's show.

guest mc's - gasp & depths (the being)

Gutter Riddim // 25.09.11

Gasp & Depths have been making music together for quite some time now and there is no denying that they work well as a team. Lately they have been absolutely smashing the Dont Flop doubles tournament with their hillarious lyrical content and showing the world what Glasgow's got. Over the past year they have been teaming up with top producer Scatabrainz and bringing us a steady flow of hard hitting tracks such as 'The Beast', taken from the newly released Depths & Scatabrainz album 'Less Than Human' and 'Accidental Secretions', taken from Gasp's 'Trying To Find The EXIT' mixtape.

This week they will both be joining me in the studio for a live session, to let us hear some of their new music and to chat about whats been happening lately and what they have planned for the future.

You can buy the Depths & Scatabrainz joint album 'Less Than Human' for £5 on the Depths bandcamp and download his 'On My Level' dub from his Soundcloud page here.

You can download Gasp's 'Corpus Mentis', 'A Girl Called Glasgow' and 'Trying To Find The EXIT' mixtapes completely free from his bandcamp page here.

We have another fantastic action packed two hours of soul searching poetry outsider folk and left field hip hop. In this episode we play you a little more of the fantastic work from giant of the written word Langston Hughes.Two beautifully visual poems from the likes of Carl Sandburg and Vijay Seshadri. Charles Simic well crafted poem on the nature of having two sets of parents and James Tates haunting tale of the lost Pilot.

We have some stunning sounds from the likes of Nico and The Psychedelic Furs. The actress Scarlett Johansson doing a great Tom Waits cover. The ghostly delta sounds of timber timbre, plus The Van Pelt, Two Gallants and many more.

We focus on reinvention in this episode. Looking at collaboration works and artist who are reinvigorating classics including a new take on Langston Hughes, the weary blues. Because I could not stop for Death by perennia, Symphony of Science - The Poetry of Reality and DJ Krust working with Saul Williams classic poem Coded Language.

looking back again

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 17.09.11

This week, Source Tags & Mixtapes gets a little nostalgic. When deciding what to play for Songs for Singles this week, I came across the first 7" I ever bought. That got me thinking about the stuff I was listening to in my pre-teens and early teens. There's a lot of stuff I couldn't bear to listen to at this stage - phasey crap one gets into because it's readily available and tailored to a specific demographic. But there's music that I still hold dear now; albums and artists that give me vivid memories of where I was at that point in my life. I can even see where my current tastes and obsessions stem from. Some of the songs on this playlist may be considered "guilty pleasures", but I hope to make a case for them and explain clearly why they belong here in this episode.

Listeners: I'd really like to hear your own music memories. Get in touch via Facebook or Twitter.

º^º º^º º^º

An interview with WEDIDIT's and Friends of Friends LA situated aerodynamic, fantasy-guided, map weilding, arcade gaming, button basher-A-ZOID melodic hip-hop champion, Groundislava. Whose heart wandering, House music merging, nostalgic, gliding synths and arpeggiated textures smoothly climb up and unexpectedly lift you, soaring far off into wondrously pixelated lands that you haven't even dreamed of yet. Think about the water temple from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64 crossing paths with Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation One whilst stepping foot into the land of Kirby on the SNES combined with the sensibilities of harmoniously structured songs and LA beats.

º^º º^º º^º

On top of that there is an exclusive guest mix from Richmond, Virginia's very own sampledelic-ambient absorbing, soul stirring, beat head, Ahnnu. This young producer creates and reconfigures boogie-jazz instrumental filled, beat templates, reminiscent of early 90's hip-hop whilst being deeply ingrained within a sun-lit tangled web of beautifully constructed sounds of the forests, butterflies fluttering through the pollen filled air, all the while autumn foliage lands serenely on electronically enhanced fresh water ponds.

There is no denying that Typikal's work rate has been strong over the past couple of years, whether it be through solo work or tracks with his crew, his music is always top notch. This show aint one to be missed!

This year the Tongue Acrobats crew (Typikal, Ken Da Koalah, Kid Robotik, Jet One & Tom Weir'd) released their 'A Touch Of Delerium' EP for free download. I would say its one of the freshest downloads to come from the Glasgow scene this year. Highly recomended, get it for free here.

Back in 2010 Typikal & Kid Robotik released the 5 track 'Bad Joke' EP which you can download for free here.

Catch him and his crew alongside The Being supporting Jehst next month at Classic Grand - For more information check out the Facebook event here.

a game of two halves

Build And Destroy // 15.09.11

Tonight on Build + Destroy we're taking a break from our traditional format and taking a whole god damn hour of the show each to indulge you with our aural aurora. Think of it as radio role play - we get to pretend we've each got a guest mix slot, it's just on our own show...

what will the future bring to us?

Guns of Bristol // 15.09.11

That is the a question. But Guns Of Bristol did some spying on that topic and collected a nice selection of things that you might expect from this term in Glasgow. Autumn 2011 is not planning to disappoint the chillout lovers. To light the upcoming dark and wet months a bit, there are a lot of new albums coming on and gigs to warm you up.

Animal Farm // 13.09.11

This week, continuing with local dj/promoters we have IVAN KUTZ of NOMAD.

Previously Ivan was resident at Club 69's Seasons, but since the formation of NOMAD, he has brought HEARTTHROB, RHADOO & KAROTTE to various venues across Glasgow. Their most recent party being held at the fantastic Glasshouse!

Animal Farm providing a more house warm up this week, as we've (I mean me) been battering the techno recently!

More updates on the Moritz von Oswald & Tikiman gig tonight as well!

Vitamins // 13.09.11

Ahead of Vitamins 5 on Saturday, Shaun & Sam will be joined in the studio by some of the acts who are playing for a special 2 hour warm up session. Aunite Flo, Smiddy & Hektor Ruiez will be on the decks whilst Cur$es are hauling their synths and MPCs up to perform a live session for us.

On top of this, we're giving away another pair of tickets - to enter is the same as last time: reply to our latest post on facebook with a youtube link to the song you need to hear most on the night. The winner will be chosen at random during the show.

We will be paying our respects to DJ Mehdi, who sadly passed away at the age of 34.

Beat Beneath // 12.09.11

Straight from the excellent Electric Frog festival and moving right into Freshers Week, this week's Beat Beneath aims to counteract the effects of too much Stella, St Helier and taps-aff antics from the weekend, and also the upcoming barrage of insipid pop music and questionable student union lineups in the coming week, by delivering a selection of no-nonsense, discerning deep tuneage to the citizens of Glasgow and beyond. Whether you're a student re-engaging your brain and liver for the upcoming term, or you've already been there and done that and just starting another week in the office, or you're the one random listener in Venezuela (statistics don't lie...), indulge your ears in an hour of quality tunes from the likes of James What, Taron Trekka, 6th Borough Project, and a couple of the stars of last weekend.

Digital Dust // 16.09.11

Been a mad summer, Played many party's in Edinburgh along with hosting weekly Edinburgh festival club night twenty twenty, having just returned from Outlook festival and having played the subcity freshers party at the sub club Digital Dust is now focused on returning to the air waves.

With recent departure of Didge(fresh paul/xtra p) we welcome Hanlo & Deckard who over the past year or so have built up a heavy rep in the Edinburgh club scene, rinsing out venues week in week out such as sneaky pete's, cab vol and the store.

They are now part of the Digital Dust stable and will be joining me every week to bring their heavy house party vibes they are known for.

So for the first show back we will be focused on playing quality vinyl we have collected over the summer and also anything else released that we have been feeling......

........summer was dusssssty

(Dust Head & Hanlo rock separate sets each then collab on a b2b towards the end of the show)

two minutes late

Soulful Allsorts // 10.09.11

Fraser I and forgot the main gate is being rebuilt and that we should be coming in the long way off Byres Road. We were lucky that Josh was in the office and the studio open so I think we managed to get Penguin Breakdown on within the first two minutes.

The show itself flew through with a great mix of tunes. I was doing some research on them yesterday and discovered a couple of now expensive items and a whole load of cheapos as Fraser would call them. I don't think you could listen and say that now costs hundreds. The music on the show is picked for quality not cost.

Some great tunes , some new stuff courtesy of Soul junction and a few requests gathered when Fraser was DJ'ing over the last few months mixed in with some previously unreleased Motown on the "Cellarful of" CD series.

I took photos of some of the 45s and you can find them on Facebook hopefully on the Soulful Allsorts on Subcity page and more than likely on my home page. You won't find price stickers on them and you still won't be able to spot the big ticket items.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 09.09.11

And they are back. While Producer Harry Parlane spent the summer in his hill-top retreat, slowly attuning his ears to the cosmic radio (they say he can now pick up transmissions from India just by squinting), Vile took a less mystical path and bum-rushed Fresh Air - the radio station of the year according to the New Scottish Music Awards - with a five hour show of anti-talent show chaos. Reunited on air for the first time since early July, the dynamic duo have been arguing about dubstep by text for the past fortnight.

As always, the programme is packed - to Harry's despair. Exclusive tracks from Holy Mountain, Bigg Tajj, John Knox Sex Club - interviews with Linden Tree Theatre, a visit from Alan Miller out of RPZ and, hopefully, Mr Fielding Hope from Cry Parrot. Plus Vile reveals an extract of his interview with cabaret darling Camille, and explains why he didn't go for a drink with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`` It's a night chock-full of wonderful treats as I'm thrilled to say that we have guest mixes from the brilliant beatmaker Minipimp who is the mastermind behind the excellent Collective Resonance blogosphere, and local Glasgow hip-hop, lo-fi, folk head, Ken Da Koalah ` `

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`` There's also tracks played from new record releases in the form of Thundercat's Jazz Flavored, funkadelic shakin', soul-gliding groovalicious psychedelic rushin', "The New Age of Apocalypse." A new one from Shlohmo's, "Bad Vibes" record, which is released on Friends of Friends and Tall Corn Music respectively. The track in question from Shlohmo, "Just Us", reflects a more touching, intimate take on his work that sounds like a gathering of peacefully gentle vocals being sprinkled across the floor of an ice cavern, the ripples and drips of an underground waterfall trapped in a hidden domain, forever shut away from the outside world and a composed sense of steady ambient patience.

Plus other captivating songs from Odd Future's, more spaced-out side, in the form of a smooth acid-jazz like electrically sex charged shape twister of a group, The Jet Age Of Tomorrow. Accompanying that will be a subdued, bassy-beat-squashing stomper that combines all of the alluring attractions of a seductively glamorous oracle from a middle eastern bollywood film, come courtesy of Vlek's Squeaky Lobster, and an exclusive beat from a talented hip-hop musician from New York, who I believe is going to be big in the future that goes by the name of Mattron. So make sure you pay close attention to his work further on down the line ` `

show 3: the junkie's piano

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 08.09.11

So, we've done drummers, singers and producers. Next up - guitarists.

Still the instrument of choice for simpering skin-tights and the romantically impaired, guitars have taken a kicking since... Well, since time immemorial, really.

Not a real instrument, the symbol of a generation's sexual and cultural decline, a sneaky fast-track to fat stacks, the junkie's piano, not to mention the endless crimes of the hair metal elite.

But in the right hands, it's still the quickest way to an out-of-body brain bleed, no matter how jaded Linkin Park made you.

Obviously, we're the right hands. Tune in tonight at 11pm for 60 minutes of insane amp destruction, riffs that would make Theresa May drip, and not one use of the word 'axe'.

(We hope)

We're back in the studio and getting far too excited for our own good. We've been stockpiling the tunes over the summer and tonight they were unleashed down your headphone extension like a tiger in your local butcher. Expect to hear fresh cuts from local producers such as Mia Dora, Jinty, Grobbie, Dynamode and Ovr Kill, plus hot shit from outside the city by Julio Bashmore, Scuba and Cadenza.

The Revenge, Hudson Mohawke and Ovr Kill battled it out for our Local Hero award (they're all winners in our eyes) and the bass was naughty.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 10.09.11

In anticipation of what stands to be a coupling of Earth-shattering magnitude, Theez Boyz invite the Dirty Beautiful Science chaps down to the studio to give us a taster of what to expect at the upcoming Chambere69 collab (more details here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=150687071681934).

Tune in for electro/techno/dubstep mayhem and join us dans le flesh on the 16th at Chambre69!

More about DBS:

DBS, playing out of various clubs around Glasgow, have an obsession, nae, a lifetime homage to BASS. Vik Vector with his fingers in as many pies as possible spanning fuzzy dirty electro-house through to harsh scything saw bass lines clashing with satisfying womp womp with a sprinkling of DIY punk ethic. Along with The Black Prince, who handles the business AND party end of pounding techno, electro, rhythmic pummeling and any other electronic skullduggery he can track down in his aural travels!

So were we gonna start with a gentle meandering or a barely awake 'good evening'? No way, we started with an absolute belter as a mere 2 weeks away from launch of new album 'The Quickening' at Stereo in Glasgow, Remember Remember stalwarts Andy and Joanne joined us to rave about what those in the know (ie us!) believe to be quite simply the band's most outstanding venture to date. .

sweet home melodrama

Tarantism // 08.09.11

Tarantism are back on Subcity Radio for the third year running.

If you're not by now bored of our poor quality chat and lame senses of humour, you'll be pleased to know that we now will be gracing your ears for 2 whole hours and that we will be on air every Second Thursday for the rest of eternity, in accordance to the scriptures.

Our first show back will be this Thursday : 8th September!

The pair of us and our 'friends' have spent the majority of this summer dicking around in various corners of the continent, sampling from the array of cultures, food and, of course, music that our varying destinations had to offer. Since the experiences of two men isn't enough to capture what the summer of 2011 had to offer, we decided that it was fitting to bring Tom, Dick and Harry into the studio to hear what they had to say about their respective summer escapades.

With reports hailing from the likes of Sonar (Barcelona), The Nottinghill Carnival (London), Outlook Festival (Pula), etc, etc, expect a musical diary of a summer of fun, sun and strange cultural shifts in a changing world... all accompanied by the finest stories and anecdotes.

* In the meantime, please take the time to fill out this questionnaire in order to help Subcity bring you better quality entertainment in the year to come. *

We're excited to have him in the studio today, and are expecting four to the floor bangers and low frequencys to engulf the airwaves. We know he can deliver.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 03.09.11

Every year when that Autumn feeling sets in my hunger for atmospheric sounds gets more and more prominent, so this week's playlist brings a variety of songs from wildly different genres, all held together by that heavy sense of atmosphere and mood. There's a brand new track from Wolves in the Throne Room taken from their upcoming album "Celestial Lineage", some dreamy pop from Asobi Sesku and The Field, as well as some droney and euphoric electronic music from M83 and Fuck Buttons member Benjamin Power under the alias Blanck Mass. Songs for Singles comes from Tarwater, who demonstrate completely opposing characteristics with these two songs from their Tar Babies/Stawberry Statement 7".

Music Is The Music Language // 27.08.11

Scottish promoters Cry Parrot, Tracer Trials and Winning Sperm Party have been putting on shows with the same fundamental DIY/non-profit ethics for sometime now, but “ethics” in the context of the music promotion business seems like asking China to halt it’s production and reinvent money. Besides, does the politics behind putting on shows really matter when all that’s important is enjoying it?

We’re spoilt. Most venues have more posters than wallpaper. It’s soo easy to ignore the defiance that these collectives conduct themselves with. Consistently low door prices; money directly to the artists; not to mention their unwavering support of the inclusive community of local artists and putting on artists from outside the UK that haven’t sold much more than 50 records let alone pull more than 50 people to their shows.

This is something that’s felt at the nights to - the vibe is very different - especially when the gigs are put on anywhere not just a venue desperate to sell booze while it’s clientele, intent on getting a winch that night, chatter in the front row.

Nothing highlights this defiance and spirit of independence more than their latest project: Music Is The Music Language. The festival is a two day event spread across a number of venues. Involving a ton of artists from the experimental pop of Muscles of Joy, the punk rock of Gummy Stumps to the afro-noise of Cut Hands and guitar goth of Vom.

In a recent interview Fielding and Emily (from Cry Parrot and Tracer Trails respectively) stated that ‘underground music is strongest and most exciting where and when the values of diversity, cooperation, inclusiveness, generosity and fun are most vigorously defended.’ With this statement in mind, the studio will be filled with a bunch of artists and organisers from the festival, all collaborating,

Plus there will be some live recordings from Hype Williams, Ben Butler & Mousepad, Damo Suzuki, Falconry et al. All recorded at past Cry Parrot shows.

theez boyz present galaxian's broken britain mix.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 27.08.11

With the return of Theez Boyz R Athletes, we thought we'd kick off the new session in suitably bombastic style. And so it is with great pleasure that we invite you to tune in to Galaxian's Broken Britain Mix.

Galaxian's been on our radar for a long time and we're seriously psyched to have secured this exclusive mix from him. We'd recommend you give this a listen, your ears will appreciate it.

Here's the science bit:

'Based in Glasgow, Scotland, the grimey murder capital of Europe provides the perfect environment for Galaxian's distinctive take to the electronic sound.

Influenced by the purveyor's of classic Detroit techno, UK electronica and more recently the myriad hybrid sounds and styles which are now at the forefront of electronic music. His mutant sound incorporates dark atmospherics, quirky and strange electronics, menacing baseline’s and creeping groove's fused with full on, twisted, mind warping hi-tek funk.

With a diverse and varied approach to sound production he fuses a variety of different styles and has found favour with discerning DJs and audiences from genres as diverse as electronica, dubstep , techno and electro.

heaters.

thirty-two // 23.08.11

It's the first show of a new season, and what better way to kick things off than with 2 hours of hot wax?

Smiddy's been causin' a ruckus all over Scotland for some time now, with residencies at Acid Thunder, Electrikal and Die Late to name a few, anyone who's caught him in action know's that he's only packing the serious heat. Detroit is in the house.

We'll be warming up to that with a selection of tracks gathered over the summer months, expect some after hours electro funk and booty bass.

the mainstream pop special!

The Pop Cop // 28.08.11

It's a brand new term so me (The Pop Cop) and my co-presenter (Big D) have come up with something a bit different to blast our way back into broadcasting...

We're hosting a one-off Mainstream Pop Special show!

The Pop Cop team spends every waking hour trying to unearth the best music that Scotland has to offer while brain-mushing commercial pop pap is served up on daytime radio to the masses.

HOWEVER... sometimes, very, very, very rarely, along comes a song that is so close to scientific perfection that it can't fail to unite the sheep and the shepherds. You know the sort of thing we're talking about...

Beyonce - Crazy In Love
Sugababes - About You Now
Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer

For 60 minutes, we invite you to lock away your obscure vinyl, shake the hipster fringe out of your eyes and join us as we celebrate the greatest mainstream pop songs ever made.

They charted... get over it!
Your dad knows all the lyrics... sing along with him!
Someone else probably wrote the song... who cares!

Go wild, go crazy, go POP! (for one hour only)

The first episode of this session takes an exclusive look at the upcoming Airs album "Gloomlights" ahead of its release later on this Autumn. Oh, and while we're on the subject of Autumn: many of the tracks here evoke the atmosphere and mood of that time of year in a number of ways.

I'll be back next week - until then, follow along on Facebook and Twitter to be kept up to date and to receive links to recommended music.

Special thanks to Chris and Aaron from Airs for letting me hear "Gloomlights" so soon.

Jackie your Body // 18.08.11

Ghettophiles isn’t your usual hyped up record label. Run mainly by Matt Frederick, the label has only been around for ‘little over a year’ and was mainly started to put out chicago juke since no one else was. I asked Matt a couple of questions about Ghettophiles. You should also download the new Phil Good EP because I told you too.

How exactly did the label come about? It’s fairly new label isn’t it?

The label came out a little over a year ago. Basically, my friend Neema decided he wanted to start a label focused on the Chicago juke/footwork scene. He was friends with a bunch of the guys already (there's a picture of the Geto DJ'z with him slinking in the back as "DJ Neemah"). All that being said, the first actual Ghettophiles release was a DJ Tameil album... which is bmore and not juke. Go figure.

What made you like this kind of music so much?

I am not from Chicago originally, so juke was pretty unknown to me for a long time. I had heard a few tracks before meeting Neema and not being impressed... then one day we took a road trip and listened to juke for like 3 hours straight. What finally hooked me was DJ Rashad's "Flashing Lights" remix. Of course, what totally hooked me into footwork was actually going to see footwork battles for the first time. It's just raw energy, and as much as I admire Planet Mu for doing the juke/footwork tour, there is still no comparison to actually being at a footwork event.

Juke and footwork has obviously been about for a long time in Chicago, why do you think it has gotten so much attention over the past year or so?

It's just like with house music... house was around for like a decade before France figured out it was good, then the rest of the world decided it was cool. Juke has been around here for awhile, France figured it out, then the UK, and so-on. It's just one of those things that was bound to happen eventually.

What do you think of the new British juke inspired stuff? I’ve found it to be hit or miss.

Chicago juke stuff is also hit-or-miss. Juke is addictive and really fun to make, and I really appreciate people who like to experiment with it. Footwork music, on the other hand, is way more utilitarian. You can't really play around with the formula or else it just doesn't work. We're actually putting out a free e.p. from this dude Melvin who is out of the UK. It's ridiculously good, and I hope to see more people attempt to hit that level of polish.

Is there any rivalry between the artists/DJs? Some of them seem hella aggro.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Yep.

There does seems to a real community vibe within the actual footworking dancing itself, why is this?

Everybody teaches everybody else how to footwork. All the footwork DJ's are/were footwork dancers themselves. It just makes sense, though. What's the fun of footworking if you're the only one who knows how to do it?

What are some of your favourite juke/ghettotech/footwork records and why?

I wish I had favorite records... but there are sooooo many good ones. Or I can just say "4 The Ghetto" by Spinn and Rashad. Out now on Ghettophiles, available everywhere that sells music!

To end it up, who do you think would win in a fight; Dance Mania or Subterranean Playhouse? Night Slugs.

opaque

kaleidoscope // 01.06.11

Fresh from seeing the riot grrrl film 'All Over Me', the penultimate episode of Kaleidoscope (for the summer) starts with a 90s inspired double from Beck and The Breeders. Granted it's not exactly from the same mould as the soundtrack, which features the Sleater Kinney and The Murmurs but I'm saving the riot grrrls for a later date. Throughout the show I talk about a vast amount of visual related content however a Prince trance set off from 'I Would Die for You' paves the way for tracks from Onra and Vanilla. Captivated by the sight of a man swimming in a lake full of jelly fish to the sounds of Radiohead, see here - http://vimeo.com/23079092, the tranquility of his actions synched with 'Nude' are perfect for a Midday Madness Cure. In an episode few of new releases, one stands out from the rest, described as "heartache for the dancefloor" by Numbers, London producer Deadboy samples Bon Iver in his latest track 'Down on Mind'. Finally, Kaleidoscope pays tribute to the late Gil Scott Heron and his wealth of music in Golden Oldies, noting how adaptable his spoken word music was over the decades. Music from Arcade Fire, Nouvelle Vague, Sun Glitters also feature.

Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

harmönia family

Wavy Graves // 24.07.11

“Skweee is modern electronic dance music in all the ways the overtly-polished contemporary club music fails to be” states Randy Barracuda, one of the key figures that took the word skweee from being an in-joke between a handful of artists into a very real music subculture, and onto international renown.

Alongside Mesak, Barracuda has made Harmönia home to an ever expanding number of artists. The label compilations (in a similar vein to Flogsta Danshall’s Museum of Future Sound) have always been at the centre of the label’s identity. A compendium of artists and collaborations from around the world all represented by the multifaceted tag Skweee.

Their latest release is a gate-fold album entitled the Harmönia Family Album, this is no ordinary compilation as Barracuda explains “most of the time compilation albums are just piles of second rate leftover tracks, but that’s not the case with Harmönia. The process of compiling these sixteen tracks took more than six months, since each track was carefully handpicked from a selection of more than hundred songs from around the world.”

This is an international family featuring 12 artists from 7 countries, the youngest in the family is Nero Hetare one the emerging Japanese producers. The elders are some of the most prodigious of the Scandinavian stable, like Joxaren who features on the album with Gibril Jobe as Ransta Congregation. Their track was one of the first to be selected for the album, because as Barracuda explains “we thought of taking the whole thing to the next level and asked our artists to make their own versions of ”ethnic” music...the idea took off like a lazer beam in an Ethiopian desert.”

interview: randy barracuda

Wavy Graves // 24.07.11

Like many artists, Barracuda isn’t simply a producer, IRL he is Perttu Häkkinen, broadcaster on Finland’s national “youth” station YleX, and a columnist for HS.fi. Currently on vacation in Batumi on the coast of Black Sea, I sent Randy Barracuda some questions about the differences between Perttu and Randy, his new record B-Side Music and Stalin.

5 years of Harmönia... Wow! Why did you start the label?

Me and Tatu (Mesak) just thought that Flogsta Danshall needed a serious rival!

What has been some of the best moments you’ve had playing with the Harmönia crew?

Sitting in a basement in Stockholm and watching a gay prostitute desperately trying to pick up Joxaren. And Sonar 2008 of course. And Russia, Sweden, Germany, United States...Too many to mention.

What does family mean to you?

Hard to say.

Who are your brothers and sisters?

When it comes to bloodline my big sister Sanna and my big brother Sami. If we talk in a spiritual context I have to name all these Skweee guys as well as lot of my old friends. Sometimes I also feel brotherhood to animals. Especially to cats and squids.

What is/what happens at a family occasion?

When I spend time with my biological relatives we normally have a drink and eat good and then we start fighting about something that happened ten years ago. Inside the Harmönia family we don't fight that much. Maybe me and Tatu once in a while.

Why did you decide to call the latest Harmönia record a Family Album instead of giving it the tag: “compilation”?

Because we wanted to thank all our artists and show their faces to public.

Do you think Harmönia and some of the other so called Skweee labels cultivate a sense of community or family, if so why do you think this is?

I think so, because it still is a revolutionary movement destroying the conventions of boring and safe electronic music. Skweee artists and fans usually are very weird, but intelligent individuals with a macabre sense of humour. I guess that's one of the reasons. The other reason is that one artist's success or misfortune is everybody's success or misfortune, we don't compete against each other but together.

You are working on a new record, what can we expect?

Space age cripple funk. Songs about the garden of Eden, diggin' in the digital and masturbation.

How does it fit into the Randy Barracuda cannon of compact funk?

It's the next step, the challenging second album that will sell 93 copies and make me a total outsider.

You worked with Michael Black Electro, Mama Africa and the Afro B on the last record and there are a few songs on the new record that feature a singer. Is this you? If it is (and I very much hope it is)...what made you decide to sing on this record? If it's not who is the singer and why did you decide to work with them?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's definitely not me. It is still "angel of Helsinki" Michael Black Electro. I swear if you would hear me singing you wouldn't sleep for few nights. The two analogue talkboxes on the record are played by Olli, a breakdance legend from the world famous Flow Mo Crew.

Will there be a lyric sheet on this album?

I guess not. I treat human voice like it was just one instrument among others.

The new record is called B-Side Music, is this a reference to your statement that Skweee is like the b-side of music?

Yes.

Whats the differences between Randy Barracuda and the broadcaster, journalist and columnist Perttu Häkkinen?

The genes are same, but the tasks are different. In the end it's all about human communication and enlightenment. I have to say that journalism is far more risky business than playing music. So far I've been locked in a prison meeting room with an angry scissor murderer, who's trying to kill a guy, I've been in the middle of a gang-police shootout and interviewed people from druglords to copshooters.

Do you have any other aliases you wish you reveal?

Visa Electro.

You have your own radio show in Finland, how did you get involved with this and what is you try to do with this show?

The head honcho of Finnish national radio's youth channel asked me to do something. In the show I'm interviewing people and playing a large variety of music that would never otherwise reach the ears of Finnish public: Skweee, world music, funk, punk, noise, electro, ghetto house, minimal wave, italo disco, country and western, euro techno, afro, ambient, crunk, reggae, dubstep, schlager etc.

I use google translate to translate your column, unfortunately the results haven’t been completely satisfactory. What kind of things do you cover in you column?

Sex, politics, drugs, history, philosophy, theology, science, graffiti, opera, freedom of speech...You name it. I normally get a lot of feedback of my writings which is nice. Once I wrote about the pope protecting child rapists and received a hateful letter from the head of Finnish Catholic Center. He demanded a public apology and also forwarded his threat to the main editor of the newspaper. I wrote him back saying I won't apologize to an organization whose protecting itself instead of the innocent. I also told him that Jesus don't accept behaviour like that either, haha!

But, don't get me wrong, I'm equally ruthless to all double standard religions and cultures. I love people, but sometimes I think they need a kick in the ass.

You have just returned from a trip to Joseph Stalin's birth place. Is this something you've wanted to do for a long time? What is it that you find fascinating about Joseph Stalin? Is there anything you admire about Joseph Stalin?

And at the moment I'm hangin' out in Batumi on the coast of Black Sea where Stalin used to relax after slaughtering 10 000 000 peasants. Since I was a child I found dictators fascinating, especially Hitler and Stalin. I was always fascinated by history. I can't say I admire anything in Stalin, but the fact he got 60 000 000 people killed in the name of communism is absurd.

Have you ever drunk the perfect beer?

I like beer but I'm more of a vodka drinker. Aura is the best!

….About your previous question "what family means to me?" I forgot to mention my sexy wife!

interview: joxaren

Wavy Graves // 24.07.11

I interviewed musician and film maker David Giese about his work as Joxaren and his involvement with the documentary We Call It Skweee. He was waiting on his car being fixed in a garage in Stockholm.

In We Call It Skweee you're in a car on your way to Fran’s (aka Pavan’s) studio with some of your recordings? Is this the same car?

That’s the one I’m fixing right now. I’m trying to get it sold. I bought a new one, I’m fixing the brakes now before I sell it off. Which is a shame because I love that car, but it’s impossible to have two of them and it’s a drag in winter having a car that starts one time out of three.

Why did you decide to make the documentary We Call It Skweee? What was the impetus behind that?

Actually it wasn’t my idea initially, it was the other guy Iacopo. We were working at the same production house in Stockholm. He was working on Videocracy which is a documentary about Berlusconi and corruption, I was working on this type of sci-fi animated movie called Metropia, both were made by the same production house. We meet there and after a while it turned out that we had some shared interests, one of them being dubstep.

I thought he might be interested, so i took him to a skweee show. He was soo into it, he said it was more interesting than anything he had ever worked with back in Italy. Then Nordic MTV were interested in covering our show at Sonar in Barcelona, so they wanted a cameraman to come with us, so we made them pay for his trip to Barcelona.

Before that, he started working with the camera a little bit, working on some rehearsal bits. Then the rumour spread that he was working on a skweee documentary and after a while the rumour outgrew his original plan - so he just had to pull it through.

One of the things I took from the documentary and Harmonia calling their latest record a family album instead of a compilation, is the sense of community the artists and labels making so called Skweee music have?

Definitely. I think it’s the most important part of the whole scene. That's the perfect ideal in this particular state, when we eventually decided to call the music style something, whats happens is we become members of the same community instead of competitors. You know like, here's this guy making 8-bit hip-hop dancehall music and there this other guy doing it, who's the best? Instead its like we are all the same, saying do you like skweee, or don’t you?

It has turned out to be quite a perfect move after this word came up, we tried to work with that instead of ignoring the fact that people were calling it that. Its really a big community and that’s a nice thing. It’s growing over the world. It’s a lot of friendship, I gotto say.

I’ve been in the music business a long time and there’s always competition and bad vibes, beef ya know, but in skweee there is no such thing. It’s really just everyone really happy about people making skweee, every time a new artists shows up everyone is really happy about it, there are no bad feelings.

It does feel like a big family. There is only one problem with it, the family is just men ya know. There are too few girls, I mean really there should be much more girls making skweee music.

Are there none?

Yeah, there a few DJs and there’s this American girl Belle E Belle who is making Skweee music, but she hasn’t released anything so far. One half of the Canadian band Miramichi is a girl. Not many really.

Then there’s Mrs Qeada who turned out to be a guy, and Stilitsina could have been a girl, but its a Finnish guy - so what ya gonna do? I'm always hoping for some female skweee producer, I think it would be really interesting. I don't know why its only men, it’s the only thing boring about this nerdy culture

The track on the Harmonia Family album that your involved with goes under the name Ransta Congregation. It’s a collaboration. Who is it with and why did you decide to collaborate for this one? Is this a new project you’re working on?

That project wasn’t supposed to be associated with skweee at all. Its a thing I do with an old time friend of mine, who is originally from Gambia, but we've been playing music together since 1995 or something. Gibril Jobe is his name.

We’ve been in different projects, a few years back we had a big West African electro project, with some guys playing Kora and percussion and me with an MPC. It was really nice but hard to contain, hard to keep up rehearsals and gigs because these guys were spread all over the planet. We narrowed it down to just the two of us.

I’ve always been fascinated with rhythmic structures and I get a lot of inspiration from non-western music. I don’t listen to that much club music at all. I like a lot of African music, a lot of Eastern European, a lot of Gypsy music and Indian music. It’s all there, its the same basically. It’s more inspiring listening to the music that is further away from the stuff you do than what is right next to you.

I DJ’d this track in Berlin along with Tatu, he recorded this session. Then Pertuu heard it too, these are the guys that run Harmonia...so they were like...”ok yeah! lets take this track and build a compilation around it...lets make a compilation with a bit more ethnic sounding skweee music”. So my track was actually the first one to be assigned to this album.

It was kinda funny, I really tried to make a project that wasn’t supposed to be skweee and then it ended up on a skweee compilation.

...more of this interview will be available from Saturday 24th.

zane hunter selects some good stuff

Soulful Allsorts // 25.04.09

Zane Hunter has been a friend and fan of Soulful Allsorts for a good number of years. He listens in using whilst studying for his accountancy exams and let's us know when the Subcity broadcast quality dips (usually because Felonious has forgotten to blow the fluff off the stylus). He has also come in and helped produce the show in the absence of Felonious.

He is soul fan not restricted to any particular soul genre but it's a treat for presenter Fraser Dunn and fans of the show when he brings in a box of records usually accompanied by some food (Usually made by his partner Fiona.)

Anyway her's a reminder of his first appearance on Soulful Allsorts from 2009.

#9 autopsy protocol

Wavy Graves // 10.07.11

Eduard Catafal Abril, aka Autopsy Protocol, is an enigmatic producer hailing from Barcelona. Eduard creates industrialised breakcore and gabber, which always teeters into noise and cybergrind territory. What’s formulated is an intense and uncompromising composition of head splicing Kaoss pad frequencies and heavily distorted, synthesized bass drums set to constantly changing, angular speeds. Vocal samples tend to be dark in content but still keeping with that humorous element that’s apparent in most breakcore, albeit far, far darker. Autopsy Protocol has released on Lost frog and Sociopath recordings, as well as running his own netlabel Day of the Droids.

The mix he sent us is a frenetic mix of old Dutch gabber and speedcore, entangled with mutant industrial and hardcore.

FUCKIN AVE IT!

alan beattie and soul on uk labels

Soulful Allsorts // 22.11.08

If you ever check out a Northern Soul DJ's record box you'd think they never released soul records in the UK. The typical hot box contains seven inch singles with bright coloured labels and record companies with strange sounding and even more strangely spelled names. They have large holes and might be made from polystyrene. However in the sixties whilst you could buy singles on import from say Gloria's Record Bar or High Street Tops in Glasgow several UK companies issued them on black labels with UK spellings and push out or solid centre labels such as London or Stateside, or the red and yellow of Pye International. That was after they let Cilla, Dusty and Lulu pick the best of the USA girl group sounds. Smaller labels such as Sue (Island), Ember, Pama reached deals with US producers and labels to issue climbers on the R&B Charts before the major labels wakened. A profit could be turned on the sales of 500 singles and if you were lucky you might have a Harlem Shuffle or Feel Love Comin' On flying off the shelves at the one stop.

Anyway we managed to persuade a collector of these pressed on decent vinyl artefacts to come in and have them played. Alan Beattie is a soul fan not a DJ. He collects records because he likes them not because they're rare (and some of them are) and not because they fill a dance floor. There's two hours of great American soul released on UK labels in this show.

trance farmers / not not fun

Wavy Graves // 11.05.11

We all have our own list of musical bugbears, whether it’s the hyper-compressed “never been louder!!” mastering of some 90s metal CDs, or the coked up uber-masculinity that often plagues 808 boom-bap. Amongst these, you would surely place the sound of surf guitar and vinyl scratches on one song, well...lighten up because that's way too reductive for Trance Farmers. His EP isn’t something to listen to with the usual rationale, its filled with slow cosmic jams, the hiss of vinyl, rockabilly boogie and Busta Ryhmes. Surprisingly, none of this feels like pastiche or gimmicky, its more akin to the playful cut and paste mixtape stylings that Jib Kidder had going on with All on Y’all.

The Boston native is now based in LA, a city getting pinned as being an almost utopic centre for collaboration, alluring beat production and esoteric pop. Trance Farmer’s £LVI§ ? JÅPÅN mixtape highlights some of the music being made in the city, with a pysch trip through Matthewdavid, Daedelus and some other weirdo electronics. We continued this vein on this episode with some tracks from distros and artists that mine a similar dark wave hyperactive palette, diverting via some electronic boogie with Jonwayne’s vocoder yoodle and a track from the forthcoming Niño EP out on Donky Pitch to keep in bubblin.

Vibe label of the moment Not Not Fun features heavily, interview with Britt from the label below.

How would you describe Not Not Fun?

Not Not Fun's an LA-based record label with a thousand eyes and hobbies. What we like is always changing but we're never lacking for new weird sounds to love on and obsess over and support.

What is your role in Not Not Fun, do you own it or curate it?

Me and Amanda own & run NNF together. We curate together, or take turns, depending on our moods and the particular project.

A number of your releases have been collaborative, this is also true of another label based in LA (i.e. Human Ear Music), do you feel that Not Not Fun is somehow part of cultivating a home of collaboration in LA?

A large part of the joy of music as an art form is that it can function socially (unlike writing for instance), so to not engage the collaborative possibilities seems like wasted potential to us. Right now we're living in the age of the solo project, which is fine (it's just a little less romantic than the band/collective concept), but collabs can be a real thrill when they're done right. I wouldn't say it's something we consciously seek out, but maybe we're drawn to them more than I realize?

A lot of Not Not Fun records have been released on cassette, what is it about this format that you find interesting?

Its humility -- and near-indestructability! Too many things break too easy, and neither Amanda nor I take care of our collections/objects that carefully, so it's awesome how rugged tapes are. The sound is sick too.

Are there particular attitudes you frequently encounter towards your music (whether as an artist yourself, or as being part of a label that distributes music)?

Every day. I find a lot of music fans get really annoyed by new bands/albums/scenes, etc, because they feel like they can't "keep up" with it all, so they're extra-quick to write shit off and disregard it. Which is stupid, cause there's no pressure to know everything about every release that comes out, obviously. People sometimes complain about NNF being "too prolific;" I just think that's goofy -- we're a record label, we put out records, that's like our 'thing,' you know? We like to put out as much rad music as we can afford to. Why not? Life's short and there's so much amazing art, screw being a cold-eyed gatekeeper.

What does the term DIY mean to you?

Doing things the real way. By humans, for humans.

Do you have any bugbears with particular approaches to creating music?

I'm not too familiar with the term 'bugbears' but I'll assume it's a negative thing? I like when bands come across as having actual personalities as people, rather than just some goal-based art project. Also I'm not hugely fond of excess professionalism in music; I find it rarely produces better things.

What is it about the 7” that you love?

I like their size, and the idea of framing one small sliver of music; it's like framing a sketch rather than a full finished painting. I will say I don't listen to 7 inches very often. I don't like to get up and mess with the turntable so often!

What are the best/worst things about running a label?

Best: hearing radical new music before it's even been released. Worst: the impatience and anger yr faced with doing customer service. There's a lot of people looking to vent, and a label ends up on the receiving end of that too frequently.

Where do you buy records?

Mainly I trade with other labels and bands. And there's some cool LA bargain-bin kind of spots where me and Amanda dig through abandoned dusty records for 50 cents a piece. Not all old records are valuable, and it's fun being able to make impulse purchases when the stakes are so low. In general I think most vinyl is overpriced.

What was the last piece of technology to inspire you?

My Alesis drum machine.

Tarantism // 06.06.11

For our last show before the summer break, we focus on the country of the United States of America.

With the help of music about and from U.S.A., as well as our American friend, Ben, we try to understand the stereotypes that surround the country, and discuss how real they really are.

Hope you enjoy the show, and thanks for listening throughout the year.

awkward sons - 3 new mixes!

http://soundcloud.com/the-awkward-sons

Alrite you slavering sociopaths, since we've been off the air, we've been mostly toying with our arses.

In between that, though, we've been doing you up three hefty new mixes, covering wildly skewed 80s dub, psychedelic dada-influenced drone, obscure French anarcho electro, cavernous Japanese psych, David Lynch soundtracks and minging industrial techno.

You could ask for more but you'd get a fucking slap.

#8 vlek

Wavy Graves // 20.06.11

Vlek are three 30-year old boys who have spent the good part of the last 10 years promoting Belgian artists and music in various structures, Boups, Unrezt/Thin Consolation, Radio Campus Bruxelles, Radio Panik etc. In the summer of 2009 they decided to team up and create Vlek. According to Julien from the label “the first goal with the label was to try and give a few Belgian artists the exposition they deserved, we have so many great artists in this country”, they spent a year finding the funding to do that right, at the Wallonia/Brussels federation they found the financial support they needed, and thanks to a deal they locked with Köln's Kompakt they secured worldwide distribution too.

Deciding to make small runs of vinyl, all home-crafted with care, they came up with the idea of the split 7”s. These compilations of 7"s feature a Belgian and a better-know "international" artist on each side. The first volume featuring Cupp Cave & Dem Hunger sold out, only a few remain of the second featuring Squeaky Lobster & Lapti - you can hear both volumes on Soundcloud. The next pair of AMAI 7"s are out in the Autumn.

From Vlek this summer is Cupp Cave's Dice Pool, the cover was made with a letterpress, elbow grease and some 576 dice - you check the craftsmanship involved on their Flickr. Next week they are releasing an EP from Squeaky Lobster, consisting of his older tracks that badly needed an output on vinyl. It's called 'Will-o'-the-Wisp' and is available via their website - as is all their other releases.

Expect another 12" by Squeaky Lobster, and a 12" from another Belgian producer Sagat later in the year, but for now you can hear what the label is all about on this exclusive mix by Lowdjo featuring some of the label’s forthcoming releases.

at the talkies // domino records and ten tracks

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 22.06.11

Amongst the usual fare of film and industry events at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, this year they have been hosting a new strand, Sound Tracks. Events have ranged from open discussions through to the expected film and documentaries (even a Kings of Leon flick for the kids) as well as regular club nights throughout the fortnight (appearances from Den Haan, Hushpuppy and Rustie (LuckyMe) at the end of this week).

Bringing with them a bunch of ideas, Domino Records are up in Edinburgh for a variety of events that are taking place. Label artists have been working in collaboration with filmmakers to bring us a series of creative live music and film events such as Shadow Shows with Pram in collaboration with Film Ficciones. As well as events like these they are hosting Cut & Paste on Thursday, 23rd June, a demonstration of how to cut music and film together alongside a discussion about how the relationship between filmmaker and musician can be nurtured.

Ten Tracks are also getting involved with Music Pictures, a one-off event on Friday, 24th June. Artists including Iona Marshall, R M Hubbert, Found and Kid Canaveral have each invited filmmakers to create original films for one of their tracks. The winning films will be selected by the artists and shown accompanied by live performance on the night.

Gareth and Nick spoke to some of those involved.

xander harris interview / 100% silk / not not fun

Jackie your Body // 10.06.11

Xander Harris has been making music for around 15 years, he recently released I Want More Than Just Blood on Amanda from Not Not Fun’s new dance label 100% Silk. I Want More Than Just Blood consists of some sweet dancefloor jams with a big 90s horror vibe. Imagine running through a field in pink neon leggings to the sound of Hellraiser and you’ve just about got it.

This episode will features an interview with Justin Sweatt (aka Xander Harris) about his record Urban Gothic, synthesisers and being awkward in clubs - something which we can all relate too. This guy knows his synths and has a lot of love for Chris & Cosy and Skinny Puppy.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 09.06.11

This is the last episode of the session. I've made this one a two hour show, split into two parts. The first takes the format of a regular episode with the normal features, whereas the second part is more freeform, with established show favourite artists/labels/genres popping up. It's been fun, and I hope to return with Source Tags & Mixtapes sooner rather than later. I hope you've enjoyed listening.

Watch the stunning video for "Sleeping Heart", a track from this week's recommended record here.

Get the new Mamaleek album as a pay-what-you-want download here.

teleportation ~ glances { matthewdavid interview }

Earthly Matters // 10.06.11

It's the final broadcast of 2010 / 11.

````````````````````````````````

Before I decide to hop through one portal and out through another into unfamiliar realms for the duration of the summer, I'm really excited to leave us with an interview from the sui generis of beatmakers to emerge from Los Angeles. The wonderfully enigmatic, Leaving Record's founder, Matthewdavid whose "Outmind" LP - which is released on Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder label - is one of 2011's most beautifully crafted records released this year.

ººººººººººººººººººººººº ººººººººººººººººººººººº

As the tide recedes, emerging from the uncomfortably ferocious dense clutches of the oceans stormy waves whilst resting softly, submerged under a thick blanket of microscopic entities within a vast and fragile underwater empire is the gentle hibernation of Outmind.

````````````````````````````````

Once ready to flourish into the ether it gently thrives along the naturally winding movement of the ocean floor interlacing it’s tender fins in between water droplet bubbles, graceful currents, and the passing inhabitants of the barriers peculiar array of species. Outmind represents the gaze of the sun’s luminous reflections upon the inhabitats scales, shimmering and tinkering softly from one organism to the other. Outmind represents the collective memories of coral families upon the shores of land. Outmind represents the tangible sense of touch from one individual to another. Outmind is scattered amongst us. Outmind is belief.

````````````````````````````````

Matthewdavid is the embodiment of diversity, a kind of optimistic energy that shines through from his experiences with Dublab, Brainfeeder, Poo-Bah Records, Low End Theory, and other active hives of creativity within the Los Angeles vicinity. The full spectrum of his work from the awe-inspiring lo-fi, dispersion on the cassette tape releases which are filled with a deep, reverberating sound on his Leaving Records imprint to the visually contented direction of the images that emanate upon each recording gives the music an additional layer of heightened self-awareness.

````````````````````````````````

His approach to creating and distributing music conveys a warm, pleasurable sensation which radiates through his precise attention to detail by focusing on what many would consider to be perhaps trivial and mundane aspects of life by focusing on the intricate sounds of our everyday surroundings through the use of sound collages and field recordings and nourishing it’s fullest potential and tapping into a lush, sonic wooziness of our deepest, most transcendental desires.

ººººººººººººººººººººººº ººººººººººººººººººººººº

Matthew kindly sent me some links for you to enjoy as well. The first link is part one of a 49 minute live transmission, as apart of Dublab Radio's - TURNING ON TOMORROW Proton Drive! - it is also available to download as well.

Statistically, you probably have. Just variables and that innit. Freduian variables mate.

WHEN WIMPY WAS KING OF THE FUCKING HIGH STREET)... so what better way to prove my total hetero-supremacist street cred than by polishing off this bottle of rose and heading up to the studio to attempt to meld together all that fractured once forgotten synthwave numbers with those wacked out vanguard House pummelers... the two most stridently MACHO genres of them all. Just so you are DEFINITLEY sure that I'm not gonna try and join your military and leave my safety catch off while I eye up Private Wilsons sweet sweet ass, I'm gonna drop some new stuff by Pascal Nichols (Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides) and that wild industrio-horror tech thing what Regis did under his own name with that other bloke once.

AND FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW? It's only fucking Vickie Charmicarmicat (polymath and that... artist, bringer of pain in DIVORCE, booty mangling WAVEY GRAVES cat) with her insanely handy "Tangled Mains and Fiber" mix... THIS is how you put together a mix, y'all are gonna whisper into your cats ear. Put it this way: She starts off with Delia Derbyshire. She ends up at Ultra Eczema's doorstep, all ragged and bleary, like Behan out of a Belshill bush. That good.

"TANGLED MAINS AND FIBER" Mixed by Vickie Charmicarmicat:

1. Delia Derbyshire - blue veils and golden sands // BBC 2. Bad Boy - shooty // animal fact

3. Doggs - centipede stationary // animal fact

4. Wolf Eyes - ancient delay // subpop

5. Doggs - tongue hole // animal fact

6. Unicorn Hard-on - gold pony // self released

7. The Minty - slipstream 2 channel 9 // animal fact

8. Guam River - map3 // ultra eszcema

9. Unicorn Hard-on - in the fix of the fox // [tanzprocesz]

10. Can't - the sun the sky the world // ultra eszcema

11. Black Vomit - constdecnt // rusty axe

12. Can't - butterfly collector // ultra eszcema

soaring surface embers { 2 hour special }

Earthly Matters // 02.06.11

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Me and Fergus have been granted a lengthy slot tonight for the penultimate broadcast before summer. We are both going to be in charge of the Subcity airwaves for a full 120 minutes. With some other friends joining us in the studio as well. Dare I say it, but we're even going to use the decks for the first time as I'm finally going to brave walking from Scotstoun all the way to the studio with some of my favorite records. So I'm dreading the thought of them being stolen from me!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

_______________________________________

so here's a brief synopsis for the music we're going to play and what it conjures up this time

_______________________________________

Soaring through the extremities of parallel embers within touching distance of the cosmos’s electrically charged, cataclysmic central position where the fulcrum of timelines of the past and future interlock beside the three barren pyramidal islands.

Whilst enduring shattered faces, transparently brittle bone structures, the consistency of syrup like gloopy-mushy mush, acid squelch mass, and abnormally distorted twisted shapes.

He searches for a prisoner caught within a sphere. The animal who revels in his enormous physical strength. A cultivator who constantly nurtured the nature of his surroundings. A golden coated vain and brazen sprinter. A collector fascinated with different species. And finally a cunning and deceitful intellect.

We’ve descended upon a cavernous battle on top of a chess board in amongst a plain and desolate desert. Reduced to the size of a particle and avoiding the treacherous optical rays that are being ferociously charged from the mightily powerful hands of the bearer of a semiprecious magical stone.

And all of this culminates in the devious capture of this semiprecious magical stone in order to take control of one half of the universe’s living entities. All six were required. All six were captured into his possession. All six grant the resurrected tyrant conscious longevity.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 02.06.11

So, my genitally absurd co-host (Tony, obviously) is laying low till the heat dies down, which means you've got an hour of bone-withering subterranean minge straight from my dangerously bowed shelves later on. Horrific, eh? Let's just get through it as quickly as possible.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 03.06.11

Although his producer Harry has betrayed him by heading off to Cornwall for a weekend in the surf, Vile has taken this week's show very seriously. He is digging out tracks by Can and Lydia Lunch to preview upcoming gigs, inviting guest presenters from the worlds of contemporary dance and science fiction, buffing up his interviews with the cast of the NTS' Dunsinane and extending invitations to Flatrate Theatre, The Virginia Gallery, Nick Spaghetti (who is bringing North American War ) and Andrea Marini. As usual, he takes Harry's holiday as an excuse to overload the Hour.

But he still has worries...

Funky Junk // 02.06.11

The final episode of Funky Junk, before the summer break, sees a Beatles inspired 6 degrees, going from Fats Domino through to John Lee Hooker. Vintage vinyl also returns, along with a whole host of other artists including The Coasters, Frankie Valli, Cream, Charles Wright, and The Primates. Also, melancholy music from the film 'Blue Valentine', and a selection of tracks from the late, great, Gil Scott-Heron.

" You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat. "

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 02.06.11

It's the penultimate show of the session this week. Listen in for some atmospheric, moody music from home recording heroes Airs and Have A Nice Life, a new song by Godspeed You! Black Emperor spokesman Efrim Menuck, and a recommended record by Portishead. I also find myself onboard with Liturgy and 65daysofstatic, despite my initial gripes. I think this one went pretty well. You be the judge, though.

See you next week for the finalé.

i can't go for that (let's talk shop)

Have you ever noticed that some disco songs have quite banal phrases concealed in their titles? We have.

Have you ever had a haircut that makes you look simultaneously like King Henry VII, Wayne Campbell, a member of the Brady Bunch and all four of the Ramones? We have.

Have you ever done a show that features songs from Let's Wrestle, David Shrigley, the Fall and the Ravonettes? We have.

Have you ever started writing show news in a stupid way and realised you're going to have to stick to the format even though it's dragging on for several paragraphs and isn't that funny?

We have.

end of season

Beat Beneath // 01.06.11

Sadly it's got to that time of year again... Subcity is drawing to a close for the term, and Beat Beneath has just one last show before the summer downtime. It's going to be a rather good one - brand new music from the likes of Truncate, Argy and Zentex alongside some recent favourites and oldies-but-goodies. The schedule doesn't stop til the 15th but your presenter will be happily sunning himself in Barcelona by that point and gearing up for some seriously good music at Sonar ;)

The show will of course be back as soon as possible, watch this space and as always keep an eye on the Facebook - fb.com/beatbeneath - which will be updated regularly with general music chat, nightlife recommendations and even the odd DJ mix if you really need to get your fix...

Vitamins // 31.05.11

Sam is back on Scottish soil to join Shaun and the rest of the vitamins crew in the studio for a 2 hour special dedicated to the Glasgow institution of Thursday nights up The Arty.

Featuring interviews and selections from Dema from Freakmoves, Hushpuppy from Record Playerz, Ben from Mixed Bizness, Andrew Devine and Felonious Munk; this is a documentation of 30 years of dancing in the soon to be demolished and much loved Vic Bar.

Also joining Shaun & Sam in the studio is vitamins family member S-Type who will be previewing some of his new material ahead of his set at The Vitamins Art School Takeover this Thursday.

How many £1 pints of Tennent's have you consumed over the years? ? What was your favourite era, guest, night? Bob or Brian?

Note: Apologies for the sound quality during the first hour. We managed to fix it by flipping the on/off swtich while having a 30 second silence for the Art School's passing.

Let us know your stories.

exclusive - shifted (mote evolver/avian)

Animal Farm // 31.05.11

As this years broadcast are shortly coming to a close we bring you YET ANOTHER exclusive mix from the depths of the techno world!

Shrouded in anonymity, Shifted’s productions are fuelled by a personal passion for techno.

A passion that represents an earnest expression of creativity from an enigmatic artist; freed from the restrictions of expectation and reputation. Shifted, whose identity is, for the time being, classified, but whose pedigree cannot be questioned. The debut on Luke Slater’s high-flying Mote Evolver imprint speaks for itself. His own label AVIAN has just released it's first ep to critical acclaim with much more to follow!

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 30.05.11

Aloha radio world! contrary to the vicious rumour that we may have started, last month was not our final show, this is.

It's worked out well though as now we have time to showcase our good friend and music making machine Nick Dow. Nick is a resident at Animal Hospital. He breaks the mould in terms of a clubbing experience by lovingly hand crafting each set with only his own music, something which has really struck a chord with the Animal Hospital faithful and his closing set last month will be remembered for years to come.

We're stoked to have Nick in the studio today to play us out of what has been a wonderful year.

We promise this is the last show, we shall endeavour to return after the summer with bells on, all our bells.

Thanks again for listening to our wild ravings.

Left Of The Dial // 29.05.11

This week: there's no completing the jigsaw puzzle that is Bob Dylan (especially since he seems to keep changing the picture), so consider this our attempt to at least get the corners in place. As one of the most important artists of the 20th century in any medium turns 70, we go a little deeper than "Like A Rolling Stone" to try to piece together how one man has made it his life's work to fully embody every aspect of the old, weird America in music and lyrics. On air at 2pm, on listen again thereafter.

straight off the decks at the flying duck

The Funky Cuts // 28.05.11

The Flying Duck is at the corner of Renfield Street just up from The Atholl Arms and down from The Herald office or so I thought when I turned up last Saturday night. But no, Ishould have round the corner at the Kitchen Bar in Renfield Court. Down the stairs into a quirky lounge obviously part of the Flying Duck but a much more cosy lay out. No obvious dance floor but there never is with The Soul Cellar run by Stephen Scanlon and Trevor Bond. A decent sound system and a pair of Technics and a Mackie mixer.

The sixty minutes on today's Funky cuts is an extract from the two sets I played. I hope to edit Stephen's for the last Funky cuts. You'll hear an hour of mostly up tempo Funky soul.

The next Soul Cellar is in The Kitchen Bar of The Flying Duck in Renfield Court from eight. Entry before eleven is free and it's six pounds after midnight which gives you entry to Singles night in the main club.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 27.05.11

The bleeping of texts throughout this episode was part of Vile's campaign to encourage live listeners to text in their reviews of the shows.

This was the most positive one.

"I have been told to switch off the radio now, or else one of my colleagues is going to break my legs and he has described it as a "very, very strange listening experience."

Also features a new, retitled version of John Cage's classic 4 mins 33, now scored for two radio presenters, a studio and audience.

Well here we are, the end of a (short) era, as The All Day Cheeky Breakfast draws to a close for the year. As Terry Jack or Westlife might say - we've had joy, we've had fun, we've had seasons in the sun, and today we celebrate past episodes, along with lots of the usual features you have come to love/loathe.

A cracking game of Defend the Indefensible, a cheekily insestuous Teen Talk, the news in brief, cheeky tunes and much more besides form a fitting farewell to a cheeky year.

Stay tuned to our showpage (www.subcity.org/shows/cheekybreakfast) and our facebook for news about some summertime specials, more live appearances and about our new show, coming to your ears this September.

Can you believe it? We've got only three more shows before Subcity breaks for the summer, what are we going to do between 6-7pm every Wednesday now huh? Naturally we need to make the last three count and tonight's episode was straight fiyah...

Starting off on some deep Moombahsoul vibes we went through future Hip Hop heat from Peace & AC, tricked out Dubstep from Dillon Francis, smooth House grooves from Ooft! and HaHaHa before our incredibly addictive Blog Burner from Drake - sampling Jai Paul no less. The Tea Time Rave Off was all about the 2011 House rhythms and our Local Hero Award was closely contested between Milton Jackson, Simon Stokes and Julius Funkhouser..

guest mix from audiosyncracy

Build And Destroy // 26.05.11

This week we have a guest mix from Audiosyncracy. Check out the blurb for more info.

Audiosyncracy is the work of Northern Irish Dj Nate Thompson. Often collaborating with long time co-creator Rob Swain, the two worked closely together during the mid-late 1990’s when they both contributed to the output of Fresco Recordings. Pioneers in their local arena they pushed quality vinyl in many of Belfast’s clubs and bars throughout the 90’s.

There’s been some exceptional solo material on several independent EP’s, tracks on obscure compilations and remixes to boot. ‘1997’ is a collection of the work produced in that year, most of which was up until recently unavailable. Now signed to gamma Proforma he had three releases last year with new material in the pipeline, expected to be released late 2011 on Gamma Proforma www.gammaproforma.com

Echolalia // 22.05.11

Gianni is back from the basement and I went exploring the attic looking for rare and new material to bring to you here on echolalia.

Snogs, David Thrussell brings us a painfully aggressive poem 'The Chewing Gum of Hate' Sean M Welan ropes in a heart felt piece about love in 'Sweet Cowboy' and Archibald MacLeish poem as relevant today as when it was written The Two Priests.

Musically Lou Reed delivers a rare version of 'Caroline Says' which we absolutely love! Plus Crooner Dave Graney, Rock Prophet Nick Cave with the barely heard 'Dead the passage of Jesus' and the ever present Magnetic Fields.

So basically boxes and boxes of L.Ps we brought out of storage so come on in grab a coffee the kettles hot and there's wine in the fridge.

Grab a seat, listen up we're just blowin scenes and minds.

called to account

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 20.05.11

"Let's have a little look at this playlist, shall we?" Phil Kennedy smiled. Catching Vile as he left the studio ("If I must," he complained. "But I have Virginia Kennard's sharing at the CCA, the launch of Alegebra at Tramway, Terminus at the Citz and Tron's INK to get to..."), Phil ushered him into the palatial Subcity office.

"I know how busy you are, but let me see. Obviously, some of these tracks are from guests. Julian from Miaoux Miaoux and Dave from Theoretical were very generous... but how on earth did you manage to get Julian on without securing an exclusive radio play on the new single?"

"I thought that was kind of cool, the way he brought in other music. It bespeaks a collaborative nature."

"It was, and it was great the way you managed to insult him, and the entire East Coast. Looking forward to your reception at the Edinburgh Fringe, are we?"

"Phil, you know that I am inspired by your shows..."

"The ones where I let the music do the talking instead of letting an ego run wild in the control room."

"Harry got locked outside because Pop Goes The Revolution were setting up the bands in the Green Room. I had to take command."

"Back to the playlist. Let me see..."

"Right. Spank Rock,Gummy Stumps, Sparrow and the Workshop: all have gigs coming up in the next week weeks."

"As do Andrew Jackson Jihadi and MEN."

"Plus, they have extra resonance. MEN are the project by one of Le Tigre - we played Bikini Kill last week, and Kathleen Hanna was in both bands. And feminism is getting back in the press again, what with the Slut Walk."

"Jihadi?"

"I thought a song about hipsters was a good choice to lead into the British Art Show piece."

"George from PGTR was laughing at that. He felt the chorus summed you up quite well."

"Skud Boots are pretty cool. The sound of young Glasgow, never before on the radio."

"This is you down with the kids, grandad?"

"You know how I like to give props to my old students, Phil."

"By your account, Latin classes with you inspired a generation of musicians."

"And radio station staff..."

"And the very difficult slices of Messiaen, and the Glasgow Arcade recording?"

"You'll see soon enough... next week's show will be helpful."

"Why don't you explain this on air?"

"Look, I have to get to the CCA..."

With approaching 20 years experience in the business, if you love original reggae music, you'll love the world of Axis.

As always t'ings a run 11pm-3am, and its still only £3 in.

Finally Johnny made a triumphant return to the show. He played a couple of songs and insulted some bands but all in all brought back our wonderful partnership that I've missed the past few shows.

hospital special!

Metropolis Sound // 20.05.11

Hospitality is once again back in Edinburgh this weekend courtesy of Xplicit D&B so we thought we'd mark the occasion by putting together a Hospital records special for tonights show.

Myself and PH1 will be going back to back for 2 hours playing a whole variety of tracks from the Hospital back catalogue including artists such as High Contrast, London Elekricity, Cyantific, Logistics, Nutone, Danny Byrd, Commix and many more. 10pm - 12.00 tonight on Subcity Radio.

Posted at 12:23, 20th May 2011

y.a.s.s.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 20.05.11

6 days till PGTR Live III. So we thought we'd get three of the bands playing to come in and visit the studio, so we'll have Young Aviators, Shooting Stansfield and Kochka all in the studio on mic. Furthermore two of them, Young Aviators and Shooting Stansfield will be playing live in the studio. And what is the acronym of that? Young Aviators + Shooting Stansfield = YASS, which sums things up nicely.

Anyway, if that weren't enough we have tunes by Max Raptor and Black International plus a bit of a radio exclusive as play the fresh off the burning hot press recordings from PGTR favourite Rosie Jones's new project The Worry Dolls.

Update: Previous audio problems are now fixed. Audio sounds dandy.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 20.05.11

Ever since he left the safe embrace of Dave Kerr's Skinny playlists, the music on Vile's Radio Hour has been a point of contention. "Last week we were folk, this week electronica," Producer Harry sighs. "And what the hell were you thinking playing the Swedish House Mafia?"

Taken aside by Phil Kennedy during an interval at last week's Matmos and Tanya Tagaq gig, Gareth had the problem explained to him. "Swedish House Mafia aren't some Underground Resistance side-project," Phil began. "They were hyped by Radio 1. Aren't you supposed to be some kind of avant-garde beard-stroking intellectual?"

Unfortunately, Vile's idea of popular radio is Resonance FM, or Radio 3's late night specials. He is a bit out of the loop about what is mainstream. Even worse, when he was a lad, loud music signified rebellion and punk. When Harry sat him down and proved how Lady Gaga's latest album is actually louder than mid-1980s SWANS, he lapsed into the silence familiar to his debtors and drinking friends.

This week, he is relying heavily on his guests. Miaoux Miaoux is visiting, as are Theoretical Records. Since Vile lost his diary, he knows that he has a few other guests, but he can't quite remember who they are. That means another news item at some point tomorrow morning.

After about fifteen minutes, when the office had managed to get back to the work that Vile had originally interrupted, he started to shout.

"Hipsters! Like that Andrew Jihad chap. Some tracks by MEN."

"Maybe some by women too?" Harry chuckled.

"No, by JD Samson out of Le Tigre. And there is a drone show coming up. I am going to mix that in with some Tallis - that is part of the West End Festival. And Mono, the Japanese post-rockers. Plus the Quartet for the End of Time. And I shall start the show loud and gradually get more relaxed. It's high concept."

He lapsed back into silence, and plugging in his hard drive. Harry could be heard muttering about how lucky Vile is to get guests as he discreetly dismantled the decks before DJ Vile worked his mash up magic.

laurel halo

Wavy Graves

An interview with Brooklyn based artist Laurel Halo on her UK tour with Gatekeeper ahead of her next release Hour Logic on Hippos in Tanks.

You played a lot of music tonight filled with 808s and 303s, a lot of it from Detroit and Chicago. Which drum machines do you favour and what other technology has inspired you recently?

The Roland “number-zero-number” series I’m probably most inspired by is the 303, but I do very much like the 909 as well. Gatekeeper actually lent me their 707 once when they went on tour and I made good use out of that, but seeing as that is more of a sampled based instrument as opposed to an actual synth, it wasn’t necessarily what I wanted.

Technology that has inspired me recently? I stumbled across an advertisement for Virgin Galactic and apparently for £20,000 or $20,000 or whatever, you can go up into space with a commercial entity such as Virgin. Its funny to me because i flew out to the UK on Virgin and had zero leg room to speak of, so maybe I can work really hard on music I can afford to go to space with adequate leg-room. (laughs)

You’ve been touring the UK with Gatekeeper. That’s quite a show they bring with them.

I don’t think there was enough fog (laughs). I’ve seen them play before and I couldn’t see 6” infront of me, I think at a Gatekeper show, the quality of it can be judged by the inability to see your surroundings. The more fog there is the better. I mean the music is always amazing, but they take very seriously the visual element of their music, so its always funny to think about.

We were staying in a flat in London and I went into their room last night and all of a sudden I see strobe lights and flashing lights and the entire room was filled with fog, they seem to bring the fog where ever they are.

I prefer a fog machine to dry ice, especially seeing that Hippos In Tanks like to call it a smog machine, because they are from LA. So I always imagine breathing in these toxic fumes as I’m enjoying some industrial techno music.

So are Hippos In Tanks based in LA now?

Hippos in Tanks is oddly international. They have been in LA for the past 8 months before that they were in London, they’re in London now and they may be in London during the summer. They’re pretty flexible with where there at, but its basically LA and London and its funny because they don’t have any artist based out of LA. I think most of the artist are in Brooklyn, Austin and in London.

Where does the artwork for King Felix and your new record Hour Logic come from?

For King Felix the album art was taken from the United States government website, it was taken from Sandia National Laboratory. Basically, there is a government lab called Sandia National Laboratory that do nuclear weapon testing, nuclear fusion energy testing, so the image on the cover is called a Z machine. The Z machine is the largest x-ray in the world, the image you see is the machine when its activated. The machine is activated for a matter of milli seconds, nano seconds, for a tiny fraction of time but in that moment when its shooting out lighting bolts of energy the temperature inside the machine reaches temperatures hotter than the sun. So basically its used to gather data for the modelling of nuclear explosions and fusion. Its pretty drastic and epic.

Hour Logic is another record i have coming out on Hippos In Tanks, it sort of employs this almost anachronistic internet art. Its this collage style art done by this amazing artist Laura Brothers. I thought it was interesting to use in the context to the music, because the music is like this fucked up observation of electronic music tropes. I just thought it would be interesting to pair that with internet art that’s made into a printed form.

So what are the electronic music tropes you are investigating on that record?

So you have your synth-funk-electro, drum and bass, ambient, synth pop, your sort of ambient techno or dub techno and techno in all of its manifestations. I guess the next record is sort of my playing with the standard expectations of an electronic music producer and digesting that and turning it around and coming back around with my damaged fucked up interpretations of all these different genres.

Do you feel that’s a pastiche?

It does run the risk of being interpreted as a pastiche, I feel like a lot of electronic music aficionados might be hesitant to like it because it takes these genres and highlights their qualities and their faults. Classicists who really cherish specific tropes and specific vibes wont like it either.

I’m a huge fan of techno and various other forms of electronic music, but I’ve always had a problem with just accepting the standardised route vibe of it all, like you need a minute or two minutes of intro with like no kick, or you need to start of with a kick but then you need to cut it out. Or you need to start of with your classic kind of string synths, like the beginning of a drum and bass anthem, or you need to have these kind of hats, these kind of claps or these kind of snares.

I think its just soo irrelevant because there is soo many types of music and types of things being made every day on the hour. There’s just this quickening of time, there’s no way to up hold a modicum of expectation because everything is just broken or bent and you can make all these interesting sounds out of this rubble of time quickening.

I don’t think it’s necessarily pastiche its more just personal expression through this various forms, i wasn’t trying to make like a techno record or like an ambient record, or a pop record. I feel like King Felix was definitely a sort of pop music exercise, just making pop songs with catchy electronic arrangements. Hour Logic is more of an interpretation of these different types of music that I love and trying to express myself through this lens in my own fucked up damaged way.

What you just said about the quickening up of time and everything being broken and bent made me think of Juke and Footwork, do you like those types of music?

I love it! I’m always scared to put it in a DJ set, if your gonna play Juke in your DJ set, you might as well play Juke and Footwork for the whole set, or just throw in some Ghettotech and your done. Its just soo exciting, it makes your heart race.

I mean DJ Rashad had an absolutely amazing set he did for Rinse FM, like a month ago and it was a joy to listen to. Its almost this sampledelia, this almost psychedelic heaving through all these different various tropes and emotions and sample moments. I just really love the total absence of a back beat on a lot of these songs, and you can just ride on this syncopation for minutes and its really exciting.

I really respect the work Ghettophiles does as a label in Chicago, I really love DJ Rashad’s music and DJ Earl’s and there are countless other producers. I also love how there is this fearlessness to it, you could say the production is amateur, i think it speaks to a very specific feeling.

I feel like on a lot of electronic music you have this perfect production: serene, perfect, beautiful...cripsy highs, full round lows, pulsating mids or whatever. Everything is also loud and smacky yet airy and light. I get that production is a very important thing for a lot of people, but you can listen too soo much of it and you realise that there is all this music that sounds the fucking same, because the production is good but there is absolutely no vibe. There is no element of searching or suffering, or any sort of uncertainty. There is a lot of certainty with good production and that certainty replaces the need in some people heads for expressing something else other than the production itself.

Do you think the UK variants or interpretations of Juke or Footwork can suffer from this?

Zomby made some tracks recently, that had a very heavy footwork element to them, meybe I’m just a Zomby fan girl and didn’t mind what he had done, but i know what you mean where other producers will take it and make it more clean.

Its just when you pull those really fat distorted subs and hard claps out of that original sound into something more rounded, i just wonder if it ceases to become what it is at all. I mean for me, Juke and Footwork is defined by the sound of the kick by the sound of the sub, the sound of the clap, the sound of the snare. Its like this unrelenting syncopation, and if you add all these different elements to it or a higher production value to it, its not the same thing. I don’t think its a bad thing that people are inspired by it, I mean I’m inspired by all these different sounds, so i cant judge another person for wanting to explore the music, or try to make the music they love to listen to.

Where do you buy your records?

I am a vicious illegal downloader, but when i do buy records, I like to go to two places in Brooklyn. One is called Record Grouch and another one is called Academy. Record Grouch usually has more deep cuts and really good recommendations, and Academy generally has a really good rotation, there is always good stuff to go through.

Do you listen to any other music, like punk for example?

I know nothing about punk music. I’m a huge pleb. I mean i feel i have very strong pockets of knowledge and complete blank zones. Although, I have worked enough shitty jobs to listen to a lot of different kinds of music on the stereo. I was a freeform DJ for a few years, so i know how to wrap my ears around a lot of differernt vibes.

Ive been listening to the Forever Changes album by Love a lot recently, I was listening to it on the ride up and i was thinking about how pastoral and fucking appropriate that album is running in parallel to all the cows and sheep that we were passing by.

The race and progression in the songs is fantastic. I think its a beautiful record of its time, that record takes traditional idioms of the time, with rock and pop, but stretches and pulls them and twists them around. The song structures are really sort of so free flowing and lucid and very psychedelic. The melodies just kill me, there are these small pitch bends here and there and these unexpected breaks. I mean i really love that record because it takes those things and breaks them and then rebuilds them into something completely unique and special.

too white, too weak.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 19.05.11

This week, I take a break from the regular format of the show to focus on some of my favourite hip-hop music. I'm joined by Tim again, playing some new Beastie Boys, some classic Public Enemy and some abstract hip-hop by Company Flow and Cannibal Ox. Particularly recommended is the new mixtape by Death Grips, which you can download from the Source Tags & Mixtapes facebook page, linked here on the show profile. Get tha' fuck in here.

fancy & spook live

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 21.05.11

Theez Boyz R Athletes R proud to present Fancy & Spook. This will be a night to remember and a super little warm up for Subcity's Vibes night (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=198144160230139), so if your planning on attending that why not tune in or even come down to the station beforehand for some quality Detroit influenced LIVE electro? That's a rhetorical question btw FYI.

From http://pestcontrolrecords.com/:

'Fancy & Spook have known each other longer than they haven't. They've been making music almost as long as that, most of it electronic.

They have released two 12”s so far, both on Glasgow based Heatray Records. The Detroit influenced electro of their “We Had The Technology” EP received the Dave Clarke seal of approval on release in 2006. 2008's “Extended Peril” EP saw their sound come closer to home with British bleeps and bass coming to the floor.

They specialise in live performance, taking as much of their analogue gear as they can carry and an MPC full of home-made loops with them to thoroughly road-test their sound. They are named after two cartoon cats and their favourite decades are the Fifties and Twenties.'

Tune in on the night to listen live or listen again at your leisure any time after the event at: www.subcity.org/shows/theezboyzrathletes

RnB Me Up // 16.05.11

This mixtape is from Clair and Lila, their club night RnB Me Up was one of the only clubs in the city were girls out numbered boys 5:1, the dancefloor was always full and the grind was always complicit. A selection that makes you want to grind with your hunnies, sing-a-long with your bros and make the uggers look hella chung. Just fucking sexy music. Its the tunes you had on repeat while you got your outfit planned, or stole from your sister hoping she would never find out and tell her friends.

The reason this selection is so awesome is because these two chicks from R’n’B Me Up don’t care about doing some rewinds and needle drops like some lame taps-aff bro-step dude. Instead they make girls drop to the floor when they drop some Destiny’s Child and when they are asked by Booty Bass to “shake that ass bitches and let me see what you got” - they do it, with absolutely no qualms.

Industry // 15.05.11

Ally Reid provides a glitchy, fun-filled mix of techno on the more minimal side of things, reminding anyone who went along to the sadly now-defunct night BON BON at the Sub Club a year or so ago, at which Ally was a resident DJ, that the boy still knows how to pick a party tune or two ... keep an ear out for Ally as he surfaces in the most unexpected places around Glasgow to deliver quality tuneage ...

trance farmers

Wavy Graves

We all have our own list of musical bugbears, whether it’s the hyper-compressed “never been louder!!” mastering of some 90s metal CDs, or the coked up uber-masculinity that often plagues 808 boom-bap. Amongst these, you would surely place the sound of surf guitar and vinyl scratches on one song, well...lighten up because that's way too reductive for Trance Farmers. His EP isn’t something to listen to with the usual rationale, its filled with slow cosmic jams, the hiss of vinyl, rockabilly boogie and Busta Ryhmes. Surprisingly, none of this feels like pastiche or gimmicky, its more akin to the playful cut and paste mixtape stylings that Jib Kidder had going on with All on Y’all.

The Boston native is now based in LA, a city getting pinned as being an almost utopic centre for collaboration, alluring beat production and esoteric pop. Trance Farmer’s £LVI§ ? JÅPÅN mixtape highlights some of the music being made in the city, with a pysch trip through Matthewdavid, Daedelus and some other weirdo electronics. We continued this vein on this episode with some tracks from distros and artists that mine a similar dark wave hyperactive palette, diverting via some electronic boogie with Jonwayne’s vocoder yoodle and a track from the forthcoming Niño EP out on Donky Pitch to keep in bubblin.

Vibe label of the moment Not Not Fun features heavily, expect some exclusives from their forthcoming releases and an interview with the label soon.

unlucky for some...

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 13.05.11

At the heart of The Vile Arts Radio Hour is a struggle for power. As Vile himself points out in the closing minutes of this episode, the fundamental dualism between himself and Producer Harry echoes a series of less tangible polarities: between youth and age, dancing and listening, performance and representation, Aristotlean attention to detail and the broad sweep of a Platonic vision. Yet this series can be reduced to a single defined conclusion: where Vile stumbles, Harry catches.

For this episode, Vile's tour around Glasgow has led to an excess of riches: Harry begins the show locked in the office, fixing up the sound on a variety of different interviews. But even with Harry's hard work, the show is overloaded, giving the team a chance to boast of their latest enterprise - the Mix Cloud.

Deatils are currently sketchy, but Vile will make an announcement soon. What is certain that this episode features: a chat with Leann O'Casi, the director and actor that Vile has a massive crush on, talking about Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco (that the cast member she brought along is virtually ignored is a testament to Vile's inability to remain objective for a second); an argument about the value of performance against recorded music, with a thoughtful introduction from Wavy Graves, in advance of his Art Rock gig at The Flying Duck; Green Film Festival Fun; Jo Shaw explaining the aesthetics of Slut Walk; The Mutual art collective discussing their latest exhibition and the politics of collaboration and a bunch of tunes that preview the month ahead.

and respect for all

As Vile makes the final preparations for the show - he claims a deep meditative state, but it just looks as if he is just staring at the No Means Yes team in the studio, again - the many people that support his infinite loop of egotism go into action to make things happen.

IT maestro Gavin remins the crew that it might be time to get some show news going: Wavy Graves warms up for his guest appearance in support of his gruelling DJ schedule. Producer Harry hits the files to clean up the interviews, removing all trace of the Vile dribble from meetings with The Mutual and Jenny Soep and The Crew from Loop. Phil Kennedy inspects the track lists for traces of Jesuit influence, while the Tron sends across the wonderful Leann O'Casi to chat about Crazy Gary's Mobile Disco. The GFT offer their Green Film Festival and SlutWalk strolls across to deconstruct some language.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 13.05.11

Well with PGTR Live III only a couple of weeks ago, we play a couple more tunes from the bands playing our series finale gig, as well as visiting a couple of acts from previous PGTR Lives.

We See Lights release their EP on Saturday, so we caught up with them to record a few special acoustic tracks and so they could explain exactly what happens at a Twee Jamboree.

Add to that some brand new tunes by Skinny Villains, Reverieme, Max Raptor, Where We Lay Our Heads and a lot of other bands with names, then we can consider it job done.

So after last week's special episode featuring brass-crazed Trumpeter, Ray Foxx we had nothing but straight tunes this week - and they were sounding BIG. I know we say that every week but this time we truly mean it (not that we haven't on any of the other occasions).

Quality House vibes from Broke One, Prince Club, HaHaHa & Raksha, big bassey Drum&Bass from Ray Vose and straight future Hip Hop vibes from Lunice & Indra. We also had a rather deep Tea Time Rave Off, a super sexy Blog Burner from Tensnake and a closely heated battle for the Local Hero award between Dirty Basement, AKA-SA and Megamegaman.

california dreaming

Guns of Bristol // 12.05.11

While we are all here stuck in Glasgow sweating and fighting in a battle with exams, it would be a perfect dream to jump on a plane and get our shiny bodies tanned in hot Californian sun. Maybe 'American Dream' would be quite an inappropriate expression for the uncomfortably beautiful and mesmerising music from the neighbourhood of plastic dream factory. Let's see if seriously the only thing we can musically get there is spoiled sweet tunes for always smiling actors from 'blend-a-med' commercials or tattooed kids. Maybe not? Perhaps there will be another niche of echoes and love.

harry surveyed the carnage...

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 06.05.11

"I can't even revise for my exams anymore, without you demolishing the studio, can I?"

Gareth's usual brash exterior was, momentarily, replaced by a grimace. "I did it on purpose."

"Okay," Harry replied. His demeanour remained unruffled, and the smooth tone of his response, familiar to regular listeners as the only way to bring Gareth out of his flights of artistic fantasy, allowed the host to make his plea.

"I wanted you to know I can't run the show without you."

"But you had done all the work. The interview with Kronos - admittedly, I arranged the call and the technology. And the chat with Watson for King of Scotland - you actually had a radio celebrity and the star of Only an Excuse there. Well, I edited that. And the John Knox Sex Club. And Fielding Hope rescuing you with a playlist. Plus the guys from Big Foot's. You even had a competition to win tickets at Tramway for S'poart."

"It isn't complete without you."

"It isn't complete if you leave the microphone off for forty five minutes either."

And so, in silence, Harry spends a sunny Sunday fixing up the audio. It sounds great now.

Formed in 2009 with the aim of creating a completely unique new type of musical act the duo have developed and refined their show since then into an explosive live experience that re-interprets some of the biggest, most popular and best loved tunes across all musical genres. The pair talk about their unique live act, mixtapes, recent gigs and upcoming events. We also talk "riders", asking the guys what their backstage demands are when performing a gig, and what else they might demand should super-stardom await them.

kollektikast // ivy sessions volume 1 // behaviour

Tarantism // 09.05.11

This week, Tarantism promote the launch of the first of a series of Podcasts from Glasgow based DJs, KOLLEKTIV, named the KOLLEKTIKAST.

Kollektiv currently play Wednesday nights fortnightly at The Ivy, on Argyll Street, at which a sub-section of the Kollektikast, named The Ivy Sessions will be recorded and released, also fortnightly.

The first of these Podcasts was recorded by Kollektiv's own Doug Shearer, a.k.a. Behaviour, who has decided to take a different approach to the conventional mash-up of lounge, chill-out, lo-fi and house that Kollektiv normally bring to their bar-sets.

Instead, Behaviour played a 50minute long mix of ambient and experimental sounds, using the new Traktor 2's sampling facilities to its fullest, with recordings of birdsong and the click-clock-click of grandfather clocks smoothly complementing the soft tones and relaxed drone of the tracks he selected to play.

The next Kollektikast // Ivy Session:

IVAN KUTZ.

Animal Farm // 10.05.11

Tonight we have an exclusive in studio live set from Colin Bain & Joe McGeechan aka THE BCR BOYS

The guys have taken the techno world by storm in the last 12 months, firing their own original material and remixes out left right and centre! Their efforts have been rewarded by upcoming gigs at techno meccas TRESOR and BERGHAIN. Tonight they preview their set and I'm sure we'll get a wee chat with them about what these two clubs can expect from the possibly the two most passionate techno lovers I have ever met!

Either way, it'll be a laugh.

We've also had a Scottish election result that has paved the way for an independence, which could be pretty interesting. The We'll bring you the unique Disco Disco twist on all of last weeks goings on, along with some pretty sweet tunes.

ray foxx

Synth // 04.05.11

You must simply know when you’ve got it – that one tune that people are going to instantly react to, the tune that is going to soundtrack a summer. For London based producer Ray Foxx, that tune is ‘The Trumpeter’ – a brass laden, feel-good House number with a bassline which resonates pure, head-nodding funk. The Spanish conquistador vibe is one that we are currently loving and as such invited Ray to provide a special guest mix for our show this week...

We also had an interview with the man himself on our blog, check it out here:

Worst Chips Ever // 06.05.11

"What hope for a country where people will camp out for three days to glimpse the Royal Couple? Where one store clerk refers to another as his 'colleague'? ... God save the Queen and a fascist regime ... a flabby, toothless fascism to be sure. Never go too far in any direction is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole stinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top ....

The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Inglorioulsy foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empre. You see what we owe to Washington and the Valley Forge boys for getting us out from under this den of snobbery and accent, this ladder where everyone stomps discreetly on the hands below them:

"Pardon me, old chap, but you aren't you getting just a bit ahead of yourself in rather an offensive manner?"

... The English thing worked too well and too long. They'll never get all that ballast of unearned privilege up into space. Who wants that dumped in his vicinity? They get out of a spaceship and start looking desperately for inferiors."

- William Burroughs, The Place of Dead Roads

(Except I haven't read that one, so I nicked it off K Punk. Cracking though, eh? Oh what? Fuck off! I've read Junkie, Naked Lunch, Interzone, The Soft Machine and possibly another one... 2005 was a bit much...)

Tonight I'm bringing wild synth fantasies old and new (Harold Grosskopf/Nigga's With Guitars), raging hardon white man outsider metal (White Boy and The Average Rat Band/Bone Awl), murder gawking horror OST fear (Tobe Hooper), a prostate pokingly camp Franco disco funk melange (Arpadys), harrowing documentary folk and phantastical bastard song (Karen Dalton/Alexander Tucker) and a hunk of yum from the Nurse With Wound List ( Pekka Airaksinen/Agiation Free).

And a thrumming piece of vintage Oramics to finish you off. Plastic sheets over all yer sofas.

This week, Source Tags & Mixtapes bring more hip-hop to the table with some reissued material from MF Doom and a cut from the upcoming "Goblin" album by Tyler, The Creator. Elsewhere, there's melancholic folk-rock from Y'all Is Fantasy Island as well as from Red House Painters on this week's recommended record. Throw in some classic-sounding post-rock from Explosions in the Sky, another great Enemies List artist and a particularly good Deerhunter b-side and you've got this week's episode down.

lawrence english

Subcity Sessions // 01.05.11

Lawrence English is an Australian sound artist with a penchant for field recordings, audio sculpture, and other intellectual acoustic practices. English curates Room 40, as much an international collaborative body of work as it is a record label. Each of his performances offer a unique take on the room; playing its resonant frequencies, rumbling its tables, and forcing its occupants to get contemplative, or giggly, or leave. This recording serves as an account of his exploration of Nice ‘n’ Sleazy, an excerpt of a live show intent on provoking deep listening, a shared artistic experience, and - ultimately - enjoyment.

How did you come to be involved in sound art?

My interest in sound comes out of a very simple experience I had when I was a kid. When I was very young I used to go birdwatching with my dad. There was a particular kind of bird called a reed-warbler, it's a really small, brown marsh bird. It basically lives in very dense reeds. We'd go looking for this bird when I was a kid and my dad would say, "Listen, what you have to do is close your eyes and listen for where the bird is. Then once you get an idea of the space the bird is in, open your eyes and look for the bird." It almost always worked. You'd find this bird, whereas if you'd just looked in the reeds you'd see nothing. If you listened you got an idea of space and a sense of where it might be, then you understood it. So, while I wasn't thinking about it at the time, for me that's probably my first experience with this idea of space and sound, which are basically the fundamental building blocks of what I've been interested in since then. A large percentage of the concert tonight involved actually playing the room, physically manipulating objects and, unfortunately, making glass bottles fall off and smash on the ground. That was an unexpected side effect, but it's very much about this idea of how sound influences and can be shaped by the space in which it is found.

Which medium do you find the best for your art?

I think I enjoy them all differently. Everything is a quite discrete experience. What you do in the studio, for example, never translates necessarily into live practice. The same goes for the art installation. Working in installation is probably the most direct way to create an experience with people because in some ways you're actually setting the circumstances in which people will experience the work entirely. Whereas, if you record an album, the moment you finish that album you hand it over to someone and they either listen to it with their ipod earphones in, or they put it on a home stereo, or they put it through a big PA. Your control ends at the point that you issue it and give it to the world. In a gallery context, you're controlling that to some degree.

Full interview from Crasier Frane.

absent shows

Live From Las Vegas

Hello all you fans out there (25),

Unfortunately LLV (Live from Las Vegas) will be away for the next couple weeks as the exams are coming up and if I don't study I'll be stuck pretending I have a job in the media, sitting at my laptop masturbating to twitter, instead of getting a job. Until we return with some hot new topics like 'royalty', 'religion' and 'psychological geography'; I suggest you listen to some older shows from our encredible back catalogue.

You could join us in our leap into 'the future', aid me in my search for my pussy in 'cats', help us on our quest as we battle 'myths and legends', come on 'holiday' with us and special guest bafta award winning director William Campbell, or check out the 18year olds in 'jabes'.

Go on give it a try. It isn't illegal. Just listen. Do it. Just click on it. Click on it. NOW. Click NOW!... please, please click. I didn't mean to shout. Please just click - I need this. For my sake, will you just click?... Oh screw you then! Fine, fine I don't care. Do what you want. I don't give a toss if you listen or not... It would be a laugh though. The jokes and the banter. Ah go on - give it a listen eh? FUNKING LISTEN WILL YOU!

'where did our love go?'

Bangers & Mashup // 01.05.11

Rosa & I had agreed this week we'd get back to basics in the studio, so tonight its just us and the music, no interviews, no mixes, no features or guests, and certainly no technical hitches.

Now with the summer vibes well and truly setting in, all the summer music has been coming out of the shelves and off the harddrives, and we've non stop been all over the legendary sounds of Motown.

Without, Year of the Week, we haven't had many opportunities to stick on some old school classics, so this week, we've decided to dedicate a whole show a bit of a Motown special, where we will be bringing to the table many of the classic motown tracks of the past few decades, plus our usual banter.

Join the boys as they take an alternative look at "The Royal Wedding of The Year" (Daily Mail) - with some of the usual features, including a regal game of Defend The Indefensible and a lovely edition of teen talk... Most of the show, however, is made up of glorious coverage of the wedding of Kate Middleton and William Wales. We're excited, and we hope you are too.

Aye, aye it’s that time again as She Said is very pleased to welcome the return of accomplished novelist, playwright, performer and undoubted music fan Alan Bissett to the show. Not only will he be terrifying us with tales of glamour and excess from this week’s New York Book Festival, we're sure to get a wee sneaky insight into his forthcoming novel set amidst the bedlam of Rangers 2008 UEFA cup final in Manchester.

And of course there will be tunes, lots of them...

gareth k vile and his producer officiate

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 29.04.11

The Vile Arts Radio Hour brings you the Civil Partnership that they are already calling the wedding of the century: the holy union of arts and politics. Vile once again tries to convince Producer Harry that religion has a higher hit rate for aesthetic endeavour then secular ideology: Harry counters that it doesn't need to be explicit to count as political, citing Black Watch.

Since neither of them have actually seen the play, they quickly switch on some Holy Mountain.

The ceremony is attended by members of 85a, the three artists who will be making Cryptic Nights a sound CCA special, a representative of A Bunch of Fives, who are bringing back the political cabaret of 7:84 and Wildcat, the star of Scottish Opera's Rigoletto, Nick Spaghetti and his plus one Blochestra. The hymns are provided by The Kronos Quartet, and the signing of the register conducted to the Creative Martyr's romantic acapella.

The reception features a selection from Vile's research into the upcoming gigs: Kid Robotik brushes shoulders with Prince Rama.

noface vs era (electrikal)

Custom // 29.04.11

Our Guest this week hails from Edinburgh and is one of the founding members of the Electrikal Sound System. As well as this, his residencies at both Jungledub and Big N Bashy allow him to unleash his intense medleys of jungle, drum & bass and dubstep upon respectable crowds most weeks while also co-hosting the weekly Big N Bashy show with Deburgh on internet radio outlet, Nasty FM. Just lend him 10 minutes of your eartime and he’ll no doubt show you why his nickname of ‘The Don’ has been affectionately bestowed upon him by those who see him ruff tings up.

topical royal wedding gag factor

Worst Chips Ever // 29.04.11

Fucking inbred bunch of humanoid lizard people. That's what they are.

I'm fully aware that in the wider political cosmos one wideo ballbag's utterly cackhanded armchair activist posturing is completely empty.

But I'm fairly familiar with cowardly emptiness, so piss off.

Seriously. State of us. That we cowtow to the likes of them... and those MENTALLY ILL folks who camp out over night in union jack sleeping bags... is that just to get a wee documentary realist take on the disgusting social problems that their beloved Maggie pissed out onto us? They should make them sell Big Issues while they await the unjustified authority of the royal slugfuck?

So yeah, tonight I'm pumping my big radio wedding cake with creamy jets of Topic records. Seriously, I know earnestness and all that is not really in these days, but folk was better when it were like that. Trust.

And there will also be some stuff from Clay Man In The Well, Kode 9 and Spaceape, Russell Haswell, Gunter Shickert and Cosmic Dead.

Footsteps // 30.04.11

One day you are in Scotland. The next day you find yourself in Mexico all on your own, having no destination, nowhere to sleep at and + you are ginger. Tune in this Saturday at 12:00 Glasgow time to listen to the amazing story of Jack, who left his home to see what else is out there and spent two years traveling around Mexico and Latin America, working as a chef, being on the road and quite simply getting the most out of his life.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 28.04.11

This week, the features are based around two heavy as shit, yet strangely humourous bands: Harvey Milk and Pissed Jeans. This week's recommended record is in my opinion Harvey Milk's most playful and enjoyable effort, and the 7" by Pissed Jeans isn't available on any of their albums. Also here: that band Airs I've been getting excited about, a couple of recent tracks by artists I've missed out on until now: Six Organs of Admittance and Cass McCombs. Come join the misery!

'La musique adoucit les moeurs.' With a coffee and cigarette on the spring morning I was contemplating music. Spring breeze was tickling my back and lightly moved my yellow skirt.

Tonight - taste the sweet taste of the introduction to subtle French trip-hop. Venez écouter.

The Red Room // 20.04.11

In this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed the various trials and tribulations of getting up to do our show in time, Jenny's venture into the exciting world of vegetable patches, and the exhausting yet satisfying joys of employment. We also discussed our cameos in a twee pop music video, a book by Derren Brown (Tricks of the Mind, from which we did a short reading), as well as our methods for curing phobias. We also discussed the movies of Woody Allen including Hannah and Her Sisters and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.

The Red Room // 13.04.11

We also, in somewhat of an echo of last week's show, discussed Woody Allen and his movies, including Love and Death and Radio Days.

The Red Room // 06.04.11

In this week's episode of The Red Room, we discussed the pitfalls of "married" life and the laziness that ensues, our recent forays into the exotic world of culinary excellence, and our current obsession with the sensation that is Frasier. We also discussed haircuts (and the inevitable arousal that ensues from receiving a shiatsu from a pretty hairdresser), our recent gigs at The Paisley Arts Centre and The 13th Note, and embarrassing incidents from our lives involving toilets. We also discussed obsession with Woody Allen, as well as several of his films, including Manhattan and Manhattan Murder Mystery.

The Red Room // 30.03.11

We also discussed the recent Crystal Stilts gig at The Arches, Thom rescuing Jenny from a potentially sticky situation by impersonating Clint Eastwood, and films by Richard Ayoade (Submarine), Alfred Hitchcock (The Wrong Man), and Oliver Stone (Platoon).

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 29.04.11

By May 2011, only four months after beginning the Radio Show, Vile's delusions became terrifying. Once a familiar face on the Glasgow circuit, he began to hide at home, spending hours perfecting his interviews or mixing obscure electronic music into local Glasgow bands' demo. In a late April episode, he managed to pull together Joe from the mighty Hivver, the star of Scottish Opera's Rigoletto, the producer behind the revival of Wildcat and 7:84's cabaret agit-prop A Bunch of Fives, before ranting about the dangers posed to democracy by the closure of The Ramshorn Theatre. Even his closest friends, and Producer Harry, were concerned.

That Takeshi's castle is well funny isn't it? Makes me laugh so much to see those wazzocks falling down or hitting their heads off things. It's a laugh, everyone on it seems like they're having fun. Sure sometimes they get hurt but people get hurt playing any kind of sport. They're just having fun. What's wrong with laughing at people having fun? The wazzocks, all having fun fun fun fun fun.

The Chinese version of Takeshi's castle isn't fun at all. Nobody is smilling and they all have to wear the same outfit and there is only one challenge - "peaceful liberation".

guest - marcelus (deeply rooted house)

Animal Farm // 26.04.11

oooooft.....

What a weekend! Kenny Larkin was unreal at the Sub Club, never heard it so loud!! Then the Frog....well if you were there then you know what it was like. Fantastic day/night/afters/after afters! Ben Klock @ Substanz....wooo!

So back to tonight's show!

Special guest mix from newcomer to he techno scene MARCELUS. With only two ep's to his name, this young French producer has definitely made a stamp on the world of techno. Releasing on Dj Deep's DEEPLY ROOTED HOUSE, EP1 was a deep atmospheric stomper, designed to destroy dance floors worldwide! EP2 offers more of the same, with tinges of acid bouncing between metallic drums, twisted between rasping hi-hats, head down, dancing fodder!

Marcelus' mix provides us with more of his house influences, drawing on more recent techno at the end. A great Summer's night listening!

Pop Goes The Revolution // 22.04.11

Well it's a show of mixed emotions. Good news: The awesome Suspire came by and chatted about their brand new single, for which the press launch is Tuesday at the Captain's Rest. They talked about the band, music, the universe and everything else that came to mind. Briefly they also brought along Gordy Goudie of Echo & The Bunnymen fame, who produced their new release.

Combine with that a new exclusive track from Male Pattern Band, an album teaser from Natalie Holmes and another new Max Raptor song and it's all celebrations right?

Not entirely... Nikki has left the show till September. Till Series 4, there's now just two of us.

NOTE: The previously reported audio problems are fixed.

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 22.04.11

Once again playing the part of a badminton widow, the boys lack Kev. Thankfully, however, Big Gay Tom swooped in to save the day, taking up Kev's mantle and looking dashing while he did it.

The boys get up to the usual cheek, we ask Diana to stay just one more time before the royal wedding special, Callum gives us his recommendations for what's on in and about the Glasgow toon, and Miks shares some "gemmes cachées".

We also find Varty is suffering from a very complicated psychological trauma. And Callum pulls another teen back from the brink of oblivion in Teen Talk.

Kevin's not here, but it's not bleak Cause we've got bags of choons and cheek.

Get it down ye.

Over and out, Bacon Fries.

Foreign Thoughts // 22.04.11

It's bloody sunny outside, and I was cooped up for an hour in the studio with the lovely David Weaver (who I think has been on the show more than Johnny) and Matt and Liam from Friends In America. I played a nice wee mixture of songs, many from Edinburgh, many a wee bit different than what we usually play but all really gid. Also had the token classic and obligatory there will be fireworks number thrown in too. Also, the Bronto song was played twice in a tow for no reason at all other than it is pure good.

They played a really lovely set in anticipation of their gig tonight, which everyone should attend and eat some cake.

Also tonight You Already Know are playing in the Cathoose for free. Their new album is a peach and available on Bandcamp.

Tomorrow night is the amazing line up of Paws, St Deluxe and Bronto Skylift in King Tuts. It will be bloody incredible.

Enjoy the sun, enjoy the show. ta.

the green lama strikes!! { dibia$e interview }

Earthly Matters // 22.04.11

It’s fair to say that Los Angeles is going through a renaissance period at the moment. The reason for this thriving, positive interest can be attributed to the burgeoning new swathe of producers, musicians, artists, DJ's, designers, record collectives, and quality club nights which are currently running within the city. With the weekly club night, The Low End Theory, the gig venue, The Smell, independent radio stations, Dublab and BTS Radio, and record labels such as Brainfeeder, Plug Research, Sun Ark, Not Not Fun, DATAMOSHPIT, Stones Throw, Leaving Records, Poo-Bah, Alpha Pup and My Hollow Drum amongst others doing the rounds. The driving force behind this electrically charged, big burst of enthusiastic excitement can be traced toward a healthy community of melody makers, beat makers, beat heads, beat-wave, brain drain bedroom beat maestros that are consistently creating new and thoughtful sounds on a regular basis.

/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\

One such producer that springs to mind when speaking about the sounds that are coming from the coastal lines of California goes by the name of Dibiase. Signed to the likes of Alpha Pup, All City, and Fat City Recordings, and accompanied along with releases such as “Machines Hate Me,” “Cakeology,” “Up The Joystick,” "Sound Palace," and a recent collaboration with fellow contemporary P.U.D.G.E. on All City’s, the LA Series, Dibiase is perhaps one of Los Angeles most unique and distinctive beat makers to emerge within the past number of years.

/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\

His sounds incorporate a happy blend and melded fusion of 8-bit, chip-tune like, glitchy hyper-active madness, unquantized beats, funky, soulful, jazzy interludes. Smooth, hazy, sun-drenched hip hop melodies, fun, eccentric samples whilst going awash down a mountain top stream and evaporating into the ether. From listening to his beats, they all add up to a seamless, transitional blend of memories transgressing through the boundaries of reality, making you end up in an entirely different state of mind and environment altogether.

/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\

We talked about sampling computer games, his All City collaboration with P.U.D.G.E, to the Roland SP-404 to WWE wrestling. There's also a fun anecdote about his purchase of the Emu Systems SP-1200.

/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\/º\

Enjoy.

section 27 - label showcase / guest mix

Industry // 01.05.11

Tam Ferrans of Scotland-based experimental/electronica/IDM netlabel Section 27 provides a mix for INDUSTRY and gives us the low-down on the label (http://section27netlabel.blogspot.com/):

So, tell us about Section 27...

"Section 27 began in April of 2009. It was originally conceived as a platform for Andy and myself to release our collaborative and individual music projects through whenever we felt like it, both of us really being into the DIY ethic of labels like (the sadly no longer in operation) Monotonik and could keep complete control over what we put out and when. After a few weeks we started to release music by artists we had got to know through Myspace and Soundcloud and this grew over time, through that we ended up where we are right now. For me personally it has been a great way of hearing new music and meeting some bloody talented individuals along the way. We do develop quite a queue of releases sometimes. There is a minimum of two weeks between albums (one week for short EP's) which can be a frustrating thing to some people having to wait a couple of months before they see their work released but so far everyone's been understanding and really nice about it. Can only be a positive thing I guess."

And what's this mix all about?

"The tracks in this mix are a blend of past, present and future work that we have on the label. I prefer the music to talk for me here. It's a real shame that I couldn't include every roster artist in this one, the idea was originally to get all artists who have released music on Section 27 till now shrink wrapped into one very restless mix, but hopefully this one is an enjoyable listen and gives a feel for where we have been and are going. There are a couple of little exclusives in there too for those that listen to it. ;)"

How is running S27 as a netlabel working out?

"Running this netlabel is a lot of fun but understandably there are a few downsides to being a strictly "digital" netlabel. First off all our releases are just that, digital. A lot of love goes into the releases and they are great pieces of work, but we still remember when we got excited about physical formats. Certainly you can burn the releases onto a CDR, but it isn't the same as having a complete package with printed art and stuff. Another downside is that there are literally hundreds of netlabels out there on the web, so with all of that choice and quantity it makes it harder for some labels to break out of that. With the ability to share your art online it has opened up a whole new way to create which is both a blessing and a curse. There are a few notable netlabels that we personally follow as their output is consistently of high standard and their cover art is brilliant, I believe I listen to more "unsigned" music than I do commercial music these days and always seem to find something new on a regular basis. Having music licensed under Creative Commons and released through a netlabel is a great way to get your stuff out to people for free. It doesn't take a genius to know that the music industry is all about profit and is teetering on the brink of collapse and more people are going independent... From an artist's perspective netlabels can be an additional mode of promotion plus they also have a dedicated core following that have a tendency to check out anything new they put out. In turn artists could get exposure to an audience that may seek out other releases on the label, just because they picked up something they really enjoyed listening to. I have done the same thing many times myself."

What does the future hold for Section 27?

"We just release what we like the sound of, it would be very good to have live nights where we get some artists to play at it. Realistically though due to everyone's geographical location this would be a very difficult thing to get into operation! Its also been discussed in passing between Andy and I the subject of doing some limited runs of physical releases at some point in the future once we can afford to press up a few CDs and distribute them, or just play host to an artist that wants to do a physical release and they deal with the shipping and Paypal stuff. There are a lot of things we have talked about regarding the future for Section 27 but nothing has been set in stone, the spirit is to keep the music free to obtain so that will always be the primary focus. Some ideas get suggested from the artists too, they always have suggestions they contribute to us. It's a community and we really could not have got this far without them, which is (by shameless plug) evidenced on the latest Section 27 compilation called "Sectioned v2.0". The response to shape the sound of our second year celebration was overwhelmingly positive and the feedback from people outside of its creation tells us it has been very well received do far. That for me is enough, to know that people are listening and feeling the sounds we share is such a great thing. Here's to more.

It Ain't Workin' Chief // 23.04.11

Several songs with 'Trouble' in the title have been on my radar, so I thought I'd find some more, and play them. No trouble at all...

A truck load of trouble from artists including Jessica Lea Mayfield, Keren Ann, Big BIll Bronzy, Marvin Gaye and The Burns Unit.

Don't trouble yourself, join me at 4pm. And if you haven't already, take the trouble to 'like' the facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149442998456597

show 22: holding the butter

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 21.04.11

None of Morrow's marrow this week unfortunately, but you'll get a super creey solo sex show instead. Repulsive, eh?

Orchestral covers of Whitehouse tunes, blunt 80s industrial, dub jazz and some almost dead blues. You could ask for more, but could you be fucked?

Worst Chips Ever // 22.04.11

I can't afford to eat meat at the moment. Not even some coley portions or any of that imitation prawn ring shit. I can't even eat vegetables without risking imprisonment (supermarket self service. No bar codes on onions. That's all I'm sayin').

So I'm back home at my parents place. Mum cooked me fuckin' PRAWNS today. Living the dream, serious.

Anyway I'm getting shit DONE. I'm a million miles away from my skunk dealer and I'm not drinking myself half to death every other night because I'm shit scared I'll end up in one of those horrendous botty clenching conversations about how much I'm totally inspired by, like, your life, Dad... what was it like to see The Pop Group? I FUCKING LOVE YOU.

So yeah, been writing a load of poop and making music. I've even started using Soundcloud recently, summat like 30 years later than every other cunt. Social bloody butterfly me.

I've discovered a fair bit of awesome weird on there too, as well as being able to check out a lot of stuff by folk I already totally spunked over in the first place. So tonight the mix is made up of completely free completely killer stuff by people I "follow" or who have been deluded enough to "follow" me. Yeah, I'm like Mohammed and Jesus and Rio Ferdinand's Twitter feed. Rio pure got merked by Balotelli innit. Amazing.

So I'm bringing some rapturous free psyche from Vampire Blues, gothic isolated wooden hut backwoods jings by Mystery Phil, an outrageously magick reworking of You Got The Love what Universal Swimsuit made, some more Somerset oddball electronics from Kek W (seriously need to do a Somerset special like) and a corkin' remix from Lunar Halo. Plus loads of other stuff that I would be genuinely suspicous of you if you didn't like.

I managed to get my hands on everything I set out to get, so tune in if you want to hear the brand new Radiohead 12" single (limited to 2000 copies), some alternative cuts from Flying Lotus, as well as a couple of other interesting choices. See you next week for a return to the regular format.

Echolalia // 10.04.11

We had to be true to our hearts and cast our eyes down. On this show we open our hearts and play for you a selection of songs that dip their quills into the the human heart.

Tim Buckley sings of his desire, Lords of the Empty Ballroom recite a sorrowful tale of love and want. Areogramme give us a Hal Duncan poem and First Tiger with a sorrowful look at our world.

Plus Dylan Thomas, Nick Cave and William Carlos Williams speak truth from the third eye.If you see yourself as a lover then you need to see the other side of the mirror. The other side of love. So tune in weep laugh and sigh its all about our listening heart

Jackie your Body // 20.04.11

Sisters With Voices are a pretty big deal. In this show we've got some sweet girls with cutesy voices. Grimes is also a pretty big deal. Hailing from Montreal, she's part of the Hippos In Tanks gang who are on repeat on any radio station with a clue. We'll be playing some of her new stuff that she released with D'eon...not the usual D'eon we play. We also have an exclusive from Nino who is on the Brighton based label Donky Pitch. Most of the music featured has got some really sweet words to it too. I went all soppy for a brief period.

Earthly Matters // 15.04.11

Fairly recently I've been lying low during these past few weeks, and the same applies for tonight.

The reason for this is to allow me to work on new ideas, discover new artists, train new thoughts, etc, etc, before the summertime arises. Beginning with next weeks show, which features a special guest interview from one of Los Angeles most prolific beat heads.

So my producer Fergus is doing an hour long mix tonight, featuring lots of early uk garage and funky music apparently. Which are styles I'm not entirely used to, but it's something different so it should be interesting to listen to. There is also the customary odd bit of hip hop thrown in for good measure as well.

another portion of links to warm your hearts

Hello Dear Listeners, By that point you probably got tired of my monologues. But don't worry - if everything goes well and Michał's plane doesn't get shot down by the Liberation Front Of Guersney Island we shall kick in with some powerful tunes after my three weeks of jazz and mellow melodies. In the meanwhile however, I'd like to provide you with a couple of myspace links. Several artists we have played on 18th of April have released some hot stuff for free. I would recommend starting with Odme and DeFacto projects you can download from Odme's myspace. You'll find them on a right side of the page. http://www.myspace.com/panodme

And make sure you also check out Robak's profile. He seems pretty good in recycling classy tunes. Two albums you can legally download from his website. http://www.myspace.com/robakccc

joshua inwood (ctv)

Wavy Graves // 17.04.11

Joshua Inwood is Christian Television (or CTV), compiler of mixes and tapes, composer of non-linear, adult contemporary jams - a selection of CTV's music is available via KBOO a community radio station based in Portland, Oregon. His Last.fm is more like a "you have never heard of this" generator than a "you might like this", throwing up classical compositions from the likes of Francis Poulenc and Igor Stravinsky, alongside Jan Terri and Sibylle Baier.

His blog the Pony Engine is a collection of some of the most ridiculous yet sincere trash pop, like the middle aged California artist Leonte who dresses in different cultural cliche outfits on each video or shoot, or George Smallwood's internet soul classics performed on different community TV networks. Amongst all these oddities is some lush seductive pop, precisely produced, pitch perfect and addictive - this episode features Joshua Inwood's selection of that kind of pop music.

The boys discuss their loss of faith in you, the quiet listeners, whilst sharing the usual serving of cheeky tunes, chat and more Royal bashing than you can shake your inherited wealth at.

We discuss the new advert we made, now gone viral*, and we showcase a plethora of terrible accents. Callum also extends his helping hands to another crooked teen.

He didn't know whether a ghost so transparent might find himself in a condition to take a chair, and felt that in the event of its being impossible, it might involve the necessity of an embarrassing explanation. But the ghost sat down on the opposite side of the fireplace, as if he were quite used to it.

This week, drifting through the ether towards you is our show on Ghosts. Music includes some great folk songs, the original version of Riders In The Sky and a couple of tracks from Esopus magazine inspired by ouija boards. We listen to some different ghost noises and Dave and Sean get a bit carried away à la Ghost.

More often than not, that's the one that shapes the future career, whether for good (finally hitting that unique sound and sticking with it) or bad (failing spectacularly and retreating to safer ground). We'll looking at classic thirds from Springsteen, Talking Heads, Radiohead, The Replacements, The Stooges and more, and arguing that they're the real legacy-makers for any band.

It's a Trap! // 14.04.11

no real theme this week, mainly recent stuff...a quick overview:

some throwback LA/Bay Area jams + one track culled from the Thizz Nation back catalogue

Tony Yayo's world weary wisdom (or terrible rapping, however you wanna call it)

Spaceghostpurrp's resurrection of the Memphis sound

Keyboard Kid (based affiliate) with some oddball number that sounds a bit like a spacey Egyptian Lover b-side

Soulja Boy's #based ramblings over Super 3 production

some post #based, post #snooki super tasteless but totally awesome stuff from V-Nasty and Kreayshawn

an assortment of Main Attrakionz/Green Ova stuff that i'm currently obsessed with - the perfect culmination of crazy hypnotic lo-fi crunk/celestial abstract blunts

plus some ye olde classics (DJ Quik, in honour of his upcoming and sure to be awesome LP: The Book of David + a cute and somewhat misogynistic jam from Filthy Phil's second tape offering released while he was on the run after being on America's Most Wanted for allegedly killing a police officer...his label was called Fugitive Records...clever huh?)

Hailing from Mandeville parish in Jamaica, an area with a rich heritage in reggae music, Ista Lion has worked with several UK sound systems north and south of the border, including Nation Vibration, Roots Garden, Messenger and Mungos' Hifi. Resident MC and selector at One Drop in Edinburgh, Ista Lion will be holding the mic at Argonaut Sounds for what promises to be a big night.

a silence descends...

... over the studio. Eventually Harry shuffled uneasily.

"It's lucky that the name DJ Rubbish is already taken," he murmurs. "What are you going to call this megamix?"

"The Vile History of Electronic Music," Vile replies proudly. "It's a tribute to the Electronic Music Awards for Scotland. It's got a bit of Alex Smoke, some Autechre, Kid Koala, even Bjork. Plus an exclusive from Psignal."

"And what brought on this foray into experimental composition?" Harry sighs. "When did you get into electronic music? We were a folk show a few months ago."

"We respond to the streets of Glasgow. When Celtic Connections was on, folk was the sound of Sauchiehall. Now it's time for some clubbing: Electric Frog is coming up."

"Have you ever thought we could have a theme to the show, a consistency?"

"Ah, but look at how I arranged the show. We start off with an interview about the Veil at Tramway - nice bit of live acoustic guitar there. Then I segue into the Mummers, who are up here at Tut's - a nice folky connection that leads naturally into Explosions in the Sky: they are touring in a bit. Then that moves nicely- the atmospheric sound - "

"Into two Russians shouting over Taz Buckfaster," Harry interjects. "Where did you find that?"

"My record collection is vast and deep. Like the sea."

"And equally insensible to rationality."

you bunch of cynical automotons.

Worst Chips Ever // 15.04.11

That's what you are, with your bloody vicarious spunk offs wrriten pseudonymously underneath essentially fucking inane pieces of news and comments that we absolutely MUST read. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. Got it.

People that do that really puncture my rim. It's the overbearing micro-climate of NOTHING HAVING ANY MEANING ANY MORE that really fucks me off.

Sidney Lumet was twice the man you'll ever be, punk.

He's also just died, so to add to the grim catalogue of mortality (check out the DEATH SPECIAL I blessed you with the other month) that Worst Chips seems intent on documenting as a wankerish method of making you realize how CULTURED I AM, tonight is about Sidney Lumet.

Well, it's mostly me playing stuff, but I'll make a vague gesture toward including some samples of his films.

The Wiz wasnt THAT bad, anyway.

woebot

Wavy Graves // 13.04.11

On this episode we host a jackin’ mix from Matthew Ingram aka Woebot. Woebot started life as an influential blog, part of the nameless network of critic theorists that also include Simon Reynolds and k-punk. As evidenced by his mix of ambient jungle for FACT magazine, Woebot's revelatory discovery of rave was perhaps the formative experience of his musical life. But as a blogger Woebot didn’t just stick to things associated with the hardcore continuum. His influential post of his 100 greatest albums of all time included Can, Slint and Big Black.

Next came Woebot tv, an internet series that included a look through JD Twitch’s record collection. Woebot has a multitude of Glasgow connections, including being one of the founding members of Sweet FM, Subcity’s predecessor. The Woebot blog and it's later incarnation of Cybore are both now retired, though Matt remains an online presence running the crucial Dissensus forum.

Ingram now focuses full time on making music and running his Hollow Earth label. He started out around 2008 making budget hauntological collages using a trusty MPC sampler, though now his records have become more conceptual. Last years ‘Moanad’ used guitar samples to subvert the modern day association of the instrument with tedious corporate indie rock.

On his latest record ‘Chunks’, he tries to reclaim pre kraut rock blues based boogie rhythms from unfashionable genres like metal and prog, and tease out the strange quirks inherent within. Despite this, you can still hear the distinct echos of rave, and his approach to making music and his use of sampling is still very much informed by hardcore and jungle.

The mix Matt has sent us is called ‘Slave to the Rave,’ and it's a full on hark back to his musical roots!

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 08.04.11

At long last, the latest serving of The All Day Cheeky Breakfast has arrived, steaming hot, at your table.

Join us on another adventure as we seek to insult each other, put our very unique spin on current affairs, and get our cheek on to some questionable music selections.

This week we tell you about our new stickers you've probably seen in Glasgow, why 80s synths are a sure fire way to score a number 1, and once again question why Princess Di left her grieving children to fend for themselves.

It's all day, it's cheeky, and it's a (wholesome) breakfast treat.

Tune in, or funk off.

Animal Farm // 12.04.11

Fantastic show lined up this week as Informa label boss Darren Roberts aka DEEPBASS will be performing LIVE in the studio!

"Darren Roberts aka Deepbass has been part of the techno scene since 2009. He has had some major releases on his own labels Informa Records & Dark Beat which have received support from everyone from Speedy J to Ben Klock to Len Faki. Earlier this year he also done two exceptional remixes of Claudio PRC & Svart 1's track Black Moon on Mono Records. Deepbass has recently joined the Rising Management team and shares a strong roster of artists together with Claudio PRC, Jeroen Search, Max M & Ness. The rest of this year looks good for the up and coming Glasgow producer with international dates confirmed and a solid string of releases lined up. Including the 2nd release on Informa Records with remixes from Modern Heads (Prologue) & Schermate (Schermate Recordings) which will be out on 12" at the end of April and the digital release due on the 10th May."

Industry // 17.04.11

For the 4th installment of INDUSTRY, host 27B welcomes the first guest DJ to the show: ALLEN SPION. One of Croatia's finest, this up-and-coming DJ/producer delivers a superb mix of dubbed-out chords and tough techy beats. Allen's mix includes tracks from techno stalwarts such as Sandwell District and Ben Klock, as well as the critically-acclaimed Swedish young team, Skudge, who are currently conquering clubs across the world with their powerful analog assaults. Mixed in Allen's typically flawless style, this mix reads like a who's who of quality underground techno right now ...

Be sure to take a listen to Allen's releases and remixes, which you can find on Deep Nota Records and Balkan Connection, to name but a few. To get you in the mood for the show, take a listen to Allen's recent mix for Public ∏: http://publicpee.alternacija.org/2011/02/public-025-allen-spion.html

http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=136794319725535"

"Selective Service launch their 2nd EP (You Best Believe) at Glasgow's newest and coolest underground space. Chambre69, the door you never knew existed, leading to the club you always wanted to find; inspired by the dive bar/speakeasy culture that is sweeping New York. The band will perform an extended live set on the night, followed by a set from Kasabian tour DJ DanRalphMartin. This is Dan's first ever gig in Scotland, and the band are delighted that he has picked this night to debut his skills north of the border. He's in huge demand down south, not to mention the fact that his musicianship features on every Kasabian album to date, with word reaching us that he will also feature on the new album out this year. The evening will commence at 9pm with a champagne reception and will run all the way till 3am - not your typical record launch that's for sure!"

The She Said team's day (yeah that's right, we live together just like the Monkees used to) began with a mega hangover, that wasn't a metaphor though that was the real thing. Then the sun shone in Glasgow which in many ways was indeed metaphorical cos we always bring sunny happiness into yer Saturday evening or whenever you damn well listen.

And then we just had to play Squirrel Song by Shellac cos that's the only one we know with the word metaphor in the lyric.

So you see what we mean then? Aye? Good!

Custom // 08.04.11

Tonight on the Custom show, we bring you Pasteman & Euby in advance of their show at SUBFRICTION tonight @ CLUB 520!!!

PASTEMAN (Cut&Paste) A long time in the scene and a sound system veteran, Pasteman is part creator of in the infamous Leeds sound system known as Cut & Paste. Although he started out on the underground Rave scene in Leeds, Pasteman has began to focus more on his productions taking a unique approach to dubstep with stripped down sublow sounds and complicated melodies which progress into often soulful and clever breaks, his many influences show in his take on production and with his attention to detail and hard graft approach he looks to showcase a sound that pulls away from the harsher side of the scene. With more and more doors opening up to Cut & Paste and Pasteman it is sure to be an important year.

http://soundcloud.com/pasteman

and..

EUBY (Sumting New/Second To None) Another household name in the scene down in Leeds, Euby has recently been signed to COTTI'S label "Sumting New". This guy has some big releases on their way. Promises to go in hard on his Glasgow debut. Watch out for this guy! http://soundcloud.com/eubydub

the vile sulk

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 08.04.11

Despite his claims of being "on the run" from undisclosed injunctions, the rumours spreading around Subcity HQ are that Gareth K Vile has thrown a massive strop after he lost his copy of the new Orkestra Del Sol album. He is not currently in hiding, but sitting in his bedroom, lights off, listening to a Wavy Graves mix.

Fortunately, the Hour has its own consciousness, and in the host's absence, it has collected together some interviews, a bunch of exclusive tracks - the final nod to the beginnings of electronic music may hint at the sort of music artificial intelligences love. So: Nick takes command of the musical interviews, meeting with Fangs; Claire Cunningham talks dance and singing; Orkestra Del Sol back up the promises of a Balkanarama special and that interview with Boom Monk Bem finally hits the internet. More words on Lent Fest and a visit from Graeme from The EMMAs Awards.

Perhaps Vile should be encouraged to sulk more often...

Worst Chips Ever // 08.04.11

Sound good? Aye, thought so.

After last week's aural abortion of a program, in which your preternaturally sozzled host managed to semi-puke his way through an hour of meticulously planned best-of-the-first-quarter-of-the-year radio sound with all the verbal panache of a sack full of Premier League post game interviews... I have decided to play it oh so fucking safe this week.

Six tracks, one hour. BIG FAT LONG SONGS. Weirdo gurgle spasms and broken glass blips that nudge at the ten minute mark (and then some). Ecstatic synth drone, sound art, free jazz, gutter HxC and total teuton machine worship.

Hope I'm back in your good books or summat.

The Structure of the show will be similar to last time, righteous reggae style dancehall for the first part fo the show before moving to bashment stylee

As you may have gathered either by youtself or through the news section here is that there is a campaign for justice for Smiley Culture. This show is dedicated to him and has information on the upcoming march in London on the 16th.

This week: I spin a new track from Fucked Up's upcoming batshit insane concept record, share my scepticism about the upcoming Panda Bear album and talk about my second time seeing drone kings/queens Earth, who played in Glasgow this week. The Notwist's classic "Neon Golden" is this week's recommended record. Special thanks to Enemies List for spreading the word about the show, and a subsequent thanks to anyone who was turned onto Source Tags & Mixtapes as a result.

heatseeker: shoot to kill

Synth // 06.04.11

We've only got ten shows left on Subcity before the summer break now and the music just gets better and better. Tonight we had one of the most tightly contested Local Hero awards since we started doing the feature, with Aymard, Monopunk and mysterious new producer, Ovr Kill all clashing over the prestigous title.

The Tea Time Rave Off was strictly dub based with low-slung Hip Hop, jump up Dubstep mainroom Rave. Meanwhile our Blog Burner went to Ray Foxx for his summer anthem in waiting 'The Trumpeter' and we also had new music from Joy Orbison, Julio Bashmore and B-Tone. It were phat.

déjà vu

kaleidoscope // 06.04.11

Last month saw Subcity Radio turn 16, as part of their celebrations I was asked to make a mix as well as play at the 'Sweet Sixteen' party in the Arches.

To be honest, I had mixed feelings about being 16 but it certainly was a formative year for my music.

I started to pick up on artists that had come from years past, mainly because the music in 2004/2005 was dreadful (Crazy Frog, Eamon, James Blunt...BOKE) I raided my older brothers cd collection and came across 'Kid A' - the first play of 'Everything in its Right Place' dumbfounded me and I was hooked. The release of Sofia Copella's 'Lost in Translation' not only provided my teenage self an insight to a similarly gloomy love life but a flawless soundtrack, the closing scenes saw 'Just Like Honey' blaring out as a sultry Bill Murray left Tokoyo's concrete playground.

The first generation of the mini ipod had hit the streets but I was rockin' (yep, not cool) the sony discman stuffed in my blazer pocket look, crumpling English notes in its wake. I wore doc martens shoes (not the boots because of the grief that would ensue from my strict school uniform) but thats as a "rebellious" as I got, and at that the only recognition they gained was from a ned by the neighbouring shit school who exclaimed "ho! Geeky shoooews!" in his nazely pre-ball dropping voice.

Great.

Six years on, having left lime and orange bacardi breezers behind (my jaw just clenched with sugary disgust at the very thought) I still have my docs and continue to experience 'Teenage Kicks'.

Being 16 was definitely the platform to a better life, the start of parties, the importance of music, the stereotypical heartache and having fun with friends and not having to worry about much else...until the exam results came in the post. For me joining the dots from then until now in terms of my likes and dislikes in music draws out a massive map of journeys, memories and experiences some which I am fond of, others I hope to forget in years to come

Enjoy the mix and the live set from the Arches!

kaleidoscope // 30.03.11

While the rain batters against your window cast your minds back to Wednesday when Kaleidoscope had brand new music from Anna Calvi, Eternal Summers, Metronomy and Holy Touch on the show. Joined in the studio by Sebastian Rivera Varas we get an insight into his musical mind as well as his thoughts on the records that he has chosen. Fresh from the John Maus gig the night previously, I talk a wee bit about his performance and play one of his tracks alongside Sleater Kinney, Aretha Franklin and the 'warm your bones perfect' Tame Impala track which is the show title.

thirty-two // 05.04.11

Since our last episode's tracklist was lost somewhere deep in the Subcity vaults, we've decided to come back swinging this week with loads of fresh tracks that we guarantee you will not hear anywhere else.

We'll be blasting out tunes from Thirty-two favourites Jazz Spastiks, AGT Rave Cru and also giving you the first listen to our latest set, recorded live at Fiasco last weekend.

If you want to catch any of these guys live, we're on it. On Wednesday the 13th we'll have Mr. Manyana (Jazz Spastiks) and Ed Marco (Fiasco) bringing the Chicago vibe to Glasgow at In About It, and on the 22nd you can catch AGT Rave Cru and Simtek playing alongside us at our Die Late > Everything Starts with an E Launch Party.

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 04.04.11

We are a bit strung out this month, so we'll let the music do the talking. And talk it will.

We've chosen to get a bit more excitable, after last month's foray into the dark murk. For that reason, we've elected to cast our attention somewhere a little bit hyperactive.

Our featured artist this month is Sébastien Léger, a frenchman who doesn't just make electro-filter house.

Our label is Form, brainchild of the mighty Popof.

Enjoy!

Animal Farm // 05.04.11

Our good friend at AV will be joining us in the studio this week for a live mix plus filling us in on their upcoming event on Friday 8th April with SASHA CARASSI...

AV @ The Art School Assembly, 08/04/11

Sasha Carassi (Drumcode/Phobiq)

AV Residents (Andrew Winton & Eddie Wagner)

+ MONSTER SOUNDSYSTEM & AV Visual Installation

11 - 3am

Drinks Promos

This is our last event at The Art School so get down early!! We have the big room upstairs, we're bringing a beast of a sound system in to send us out in style and with Sasha Carassi flying in from Napoli we're going to blow the roof off the place :). Looking forward to seeing you all again.

---------------------------------------------------

Sasha Carassi Bio...

Sasha Carassi's comprehensive discography has spanned the last 7 years with his sound and production style developing throughout. The success of his track "Hypercombo' released on Adam Beyers imprint Drumcode reached the top ten Beatport techno charts in 2010 and the top 100's are continually peppered with his no nonsense four to the floor productions. Harthouse, Sleaze, 8 Sided Dice, Rekluse, MB Electronics, Paragraph and even Chicago house label Guidance recordings have featured either a remix or an original giving you an idea of the scope of his musicality.

Fresh off the back of a rocking remix of Erphun's 'Brood2' and SLAM's 'Collecting Data', Sasha's productions continue to go from strength to strength gaining support from industry hard hitters ( Stephan Bodzin, SLAM, Tom Hades, Alan Fitzpatrick, Virgil Enzinger, Umek, Dustin Zahn, Spektre and The Advent ) as well as actively collaborating with fellow Italian, Joseph Capriati. As founder of Globox and Phobiq recordings the guy know how dance music should sound with super crisp production, powerful grooves splashed with twisted reverberations, noise and effects guaranteed in all of his works.

Sasha's Dj sets combine his love of techno, funk and breakbeat that create an explosive mixture that's definitely not to be missed.

house sounds

The Co-operative // 03.04.11

Strange, she thought, pausing on the landing, and assembling that diamond shape, that single person, strange how a mistress knows the very moment, the temper of her house! Faint sounds rose in spirals up the well of the stairs; the swish of a mop; tapping; knocking; a loudness when the front door opened; a voice repeating a message in the basement; the chink of silver on a tray; clean silver for a party. All was for the party.
Virginia Woolf

This week, Buildings. We made a trip to St Peter's Seminary at Cardross, near Glasgow. A seminary is a training college for priests, and this one is quite spectacular. It was built in the '60s, but it's already derelict - a modern masterpiece with the atmosphere of an ancient ruin. We spoke to Mark Baines at GSA about this intriguing building. While you're listening, you can look at pictures on our blog. We also have half a feature on the fascinating London Sound Survey. More on this next time when our theme is Ghosts.

kaleidoscope // 23.03.11

The Kaleidoscope team (producer Scott & I) have been joined in the studio by 'the one who does not speak' also known as Alice Esher, for the last couple of weeks. Finally in this episode we manage to coax her to the mic to not only broadcast her voice to the Subcity masses but also bring some tracks in to let us hear what goes on in her musical world. On top of this we have an ode to the Hetherington chaos that was descending at the time in the form of our 'Midday Madness Cure'. Music from Ariel Pink's Hauted Graffiti, Love Inks, Metronomy, Girls, Star Slinger, LCD Soundsystem, Craft Spells, StewRat and The Hundred in Hands also make it on to our 'Morning Light' playlist. Rub those eyes, stretch and open your ears to these sounds.

have you seen any rainbows recently?

The Co-operative // 20.03.11

On the table beside the thurible, a brightly coloured book was lying open. I approached and saw four strips of different colours on the page: yellow, cinnabar, turqouise and burnt sienna. A dragon was set there, horrible to see, a great dragon with ten heads, dragging after him the stars of the sky... And suddenly I saw the dragon multiply, and the scales of his hide become a kind of forest of glittering shards that came off the page and took to circling around my head.

descended path «º« producers takeover

Earthly Matters // 01.04.11

A cave or cavern is a natural underground space large enough for a human to enter. Some people suggest that the term cave should only apply to natural cavities some part of which is in total darkness; however, in popular usage, the term includes smaller spaces like sea caves, rock shelters, and grottos. Speleology is the science of exploration and study of all aspects of caves and the environment which surrounds the caves.

Throughout history, primitive peoples have made use of caves for shelter, burial, or as religious sites. Since items placed in caves are protected from the climate and scavenging animals, this means caves are an archaeological treasure house for learning about these people. Cave paintings are of particular interest. One example is the Great Cave of Niah, in Malaysia, which contains evidence of human habitation dating back 40,000 years. Another, the Diepkloof Rock Shelter in South Africa contains evidence of human habitation and use of symbols dating back 60,000 years.

Porth yr Ogof is an open access cave with several entrances and a very bad reputation for deaths. The cave is very much overused by adventure groups and for military training. The main route follows the river which in wet weather flows into the main entrance, the largest entrance in Wales (20 m wide and 3 m high). This route is generally very wide and between 10 and 1.5 m high. Upstream inlets enter a complex divers only area and to the right inside the main area, a complex of passages bypasses a deep section in the main route. A survey is available on the UBSS site. The resurgence pool at the water exit is the area that has claimed so many lives, being 4-5 m deep and cold with undercuts and strong under-currents. As there are 15 entrances - the most of any cave in Wales - the exit is best avoided by using one of the other entrances. Notices within the cave before the exit pool warn of the danger and point to the safe ways out.

The current death list follows. Please do not add to this list. Only very experienced cavers who are strong swimmers should attempt to cross the resurgence pool.

23 June 1957 Leonard Garraway (experienced) [20] died crossing the resurgence pool

20 June 1966 B. Speakman [age unknown] died crossing the resurgence pool

7 August 1968 Anthony Stannard (experienced) [28] died crossing the resurgence pool

18 October 1970 Stephen Sedgewick (novice) [18] died crossing the resurgence pool

13 February 1971 Paul Esser (trainee cave diver) [21] died while diving in an upstream sump - not the resurgence pool

19 July 1973 Graham Alston (cadet soldier, novice) [15] died crossing the resurgence pool

22 July 1981 Adrian Luck (novice) [28] died crossing the resurgence pool

28 July 1986 Gwynfor Hughes (outdoor persuits instructor leading a party) [45] died of a heart attack whilst installing a rope across the resurgence pool

16 June 1992 Amanda Stead (soldier [sometimes incorrectly stated as an army cadet], novice) [26] died crossing the resurgence pool

14 October 1992 Graham Lipp (one of two leaders of a party of children from an outdoor pursuits centre) [34] died crossing the resurgence pool, while trying to retrieve the body of a 15 year old from his party who had just drowned in the pool but was successfully revived

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 01.04.11

A bit of bitter banter with No Means Yes, a tip of the hat to Glasgow's first Electronic Music Awards, a shout out to Alex Smoke and a missed birthday greeting to Harry and Vile's sister: the opening ten minutes are jam packed with Vile disasters, that only recede as the parade of guests arrive.

Balkanarama is remembered and respected, Take A Worm for a Walk Week speak of their future ambitions as cover stars for adult magazines, a spot of Scottish Opera, words from the Arches and the CCA, and the usual eclectic musical selection (and rancour between the musical tastes of Vile and Parlane). However, the interview with Jeremy Millar is a great walk through of his exhibition, and Platform 18 offers a performance supergroup.

Deadbeat Club // 16.03.11

'I agree with many of the views expressed here (and have felt this way before).

It makes sense that deadbeat club would plea to songmeanings.net (it's known by radio experts that on radio shows, underprepared presenters almost invariably resort to songmeanings.net... this phenomenon transcends time and space to be almost universal).

Powerful and moving do not begin to describe the force of this show. Deadbeat club have tapped into something (emotions, memories) that is almost dangerous to contemplate. A truly beautiful show.

Anyone who has worked in a studio (i have, actually) will tell you this is so rare as to be amazing. Just makes me love the song more.

shiny new things

Worst Chips Ever // 01.04.11

...in which I play a selection of records that are not chronologically schizophrenic in the least. I know the Worst Chips Ever all three of you listeners know and love has built it's continental reputation on a solid foundation of plopping out a pre WW2 primative blues 78' right after a throbbing gob of lo-fi noise scuzz recorded in someones bedroom the night before and available in an edition of 10... but tonight I'm keepinbg this strictly 2011.. OK, that's essentially a massive porky, as I'm gonna be dropping some mythical Brazilian psyche to kick things off in tribute to the great Lula Cortes who sadly popped his clogs recently. And yeah, fair enough, there will be a wee little something from the reissue of The Black Artists Group seminal free jazz opus "In Paris, Aries 1973"... but sandwiched inbetween them it's all stuff from the last three months. I hope...

So you can look forward to that incredible new UK funky banger on Hyperdub from Funkystepz, the latest transmission from the chilly trance-folk universe of Christina Carter, weirdo late night fuzz disco from Maria Minerva, earworm candy pop from Dirty Marquee and Illum Sphere remixing Bjork.

Contemporary as FUCK mate.

dark matters

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 31.03.11

This week's show focuses on music rooted in the black metal sound, though all of the tracks here stretch the definition of the genre in some way. A lot of the focus is on interesting acts coming out of the U.S. rather than on black metal's origins in Norway, though the show does kick off with a couple of artists from there.

As well as this week's recommended record, I'd like to draw your attention to Mamaleek, a very experimental (and shadowy) duo from San Francisco. You can pay what you want (or don't pay at all) for their new record "Kurdaitcha", which is available for download here. Pick it up on vinyl if you like what you hear - it's limited to 150 copies!

I'll be doing loose genre-specific shows like this from time to time. In doing so I hope to provide an introduction of sorts to certain types of music through personal recommendations. Let me know if you think this is a good idea by leaving me a comment here.

Fuck kvlt - you are not excluded. This music is for you, whoever you may be.

-R.

Whose Responsible This? // 31.03.11

Okay, sorry to disappoint but Whose Responsible This? is back this week with Gerald and Allan representing the collapse of neo-neo-classical civilisation. If we get round to it, I want to talk about the enterprise to create a paid for fake girlfriend for Facebook, totally bollocking stupid girls breast feeding toys... things other than that. I can't stress enough what Subcity has done to us to force us into the position of caring less, but it wouldn't be too hard to imagine. Just Google Paul Shane and You've Lost That Loving Feeling. WRT? returns on the 31st March @ 14:00 local time.

Synth // 30.03.11

A big week for us here at Synth, we've finally pulled our finger out and developed our blog into a full blown website. Since interest in our writing has been growing and growing we felt the time was right to go independent and bring you the finest Glasgow vibez from our very own patch of internet. So from now on you can catch all our musings at http://www.synthglasgow.com/ where we will continue to keep you up to date on the best Glasgow has to offer and those big worldwide exclusives to...

This week's show was a diverse affair, starting with some 2011 straight up pop music from Sbtrkt & London Elektricity before taking you through some big House & Techno from Barrientos, Gesaffelstein, Worx and Homework. This week's Tea Time Rave Off was Electro central with local heat from Monopunk & Dirty Basement while Domsko walked away with the Local Hero award for his track 'Hard Yards' with Astral T. It was BIG. Believe that.

london fever

Guns of Bristol // 31.03.11

This time the gun will be pointed at the heads of London's producers. But don't worry Ninja Tune will be safe, that's another of long stories saved for the future. Cigarette smoke, taste of red wine on the lips in obscure jazz pubs and underground clubs, the fever of the big city and uncomfortable thoughts blinded by the lights explode in a blend of completely diverse interpretations of downtempo. Not always so chillout.

Well it's only six days to PGTR Live II so we thought we'd give you a little taster of what to expect.

So Napoleon In Rags, Male Pattern Band and Skinny Villains will all be joining us in a specially build studio, for a two hour extravaganza.

The bands will be choosing a few of their favourite songs, giving us some chat and playing a few live tracks for you at home.

On top of the PGTR Live II teaser you can also expect some great new tunes by some Pop Goes The Revolution classic acts such as We See Lights and Max Raptor. It's going to be busy.

The Hammy & Jenko Show // 29.03.11

We're joined by unofficial producer of the show Nick Afchain for the usual pile of pish. This week the three of us have "Bongo'ed" ourselves to find out what some guy in a call centre can learn about us off the internet; as usual we take a look at what's been "In the News this Week"; and finish off with an in-depth discussion on conspiracy theories.

As usual, good wholesome family fun.

dubstep history

NASA // 29.03.11

tonite::tonite::tonite

Before it became as commonplace as the term 'Angular Guitar Music' Dubstep was once seen as an exciting new derirative hybrid genre stalking out of garage b-sides and the like. Very quickly we were all salivating over each new prospective DMZ, Hyperdub, Deep Medi or Tectonic release and so it continued for a few bass driven years which we aim to pay homage to. From here we go to the second wave of producers from various other genres, expanding, evolving the notion of what the music could be whilst undeniably raising the production bar. We then finnish up by taking a look at some of the biggest tunes from the past two years whilst asking head in hands 'where did it all go wrong?' This is merely our own interpretation of how things have went and since we only have two hours can't really look at many of the great new music that has been influenced by or is a direct offshoot of the dubstep sound... Hope you darlings enjoy

Chungo-Bungo // 29.03.11

On this show we're celebrating and appreciating the sounds of Jamaica in the late '50s & '60s as well as '70s 2 Tone culture in the UK.

The creation of ska is credited to the legendary Prince Buster, taking parts from American jazz; rythm & blues; Carribean mento and basically turning them on end to make a new, exciting sound.

So tune in or listen again for music from The Specials, The Maytals, The Skatalies and the long-awaited results of our competition to win tickets for Nas & Damian Marley this week.

toes on the nose // surfer rock

Tarantism // 28.03.11

Tarantism explore a genre of music that has been known and loved throughout the latter half of the 20th century by both surfers and non-surfers alike. Paying particular attention to genre pioneer, Dick Dale (a.k.a. the 'King of the Surf Guitar'), friend and Surfer Rock lover Alex Martin joins us in the studio to give help discuss the cultural, social and musical impact the genre had on 1950s and 60s west-coast USA.

Acting as a bridge between rock-n-roll and psychadelic rock, the chilled but groove-orientated sounds of Surfer Rock have been perpetuated throughout the years by both the original recordings from the 50s and 60s, as well as the continual re-invention and re-use of the style by musicians and producers from all over the world. Bands like The Coral and Queens of the Stone Age attribute much of their musical style to Surfer Rock, as well as even more contemporary acts like Dent May, who in the year 2011 are still paying homage to a genre that was first conceived over 50 years ago.

Enjoy.

HELLO THERE BOOKCLUBBERS!

Today, especially as I am writing this in the evening, I have chosen a poem called 'Moonrise' by DH Lawrence.http://www.blackcatpoems.com/l/moonrise.html

This was the first poem by Lawrence that I have read, and it is beautiful!!!!!!!!! On an evening like this, it fits perfectly! I hope it was as beautiful with you as it was with me!

Havve a read and let me know what you think :)

"That beauty is a thing beyond the grave, That perfect, bright experience never falls To nothingness, and time will dim the moon Sooner than our full consummation here In this odd life will tarnish or pass away."

Oh, and the Total record? That's my sunshine, drinking in the park record. With weather like this, we'll need to start thinking of our summer jams playlist a lil' sooner than we thought.

We gave away two pairs of tickets for the Nas and Damian Marley show at the O2 Academy on April 1st on air today.

Congratulations to the lucky winners, you'll be emailed soon with details.

Thanks once again for all the love.

Codeine Drums // 28.02.11

Wow. So, Wolf Gang blew up. And we're loving it, so we're gonna keep playing their records. This episode features a little more heavily on the founding vibe of the show - our love for hip hop and rap, both commercial as somewhat guilty pleasure modern pop music, and the more underground artists that are on their way up by doing their own thing. The Weekend are creeping across the internet, and they personify everything Jamie and I love about modern R&B. Here's hoping they blow up something crazy.

easter challenge - day eleven!

Bless Riddims // 27.03.11

GOODMORNINGALL!

Day eleven's poem has to be 'Macavity: The Mystery Cat' by TS Eliot!!!!! http://www.poetry-online.org/eliot_macavity_the_mystery_cat.htm

Oh what a wonderful poem it is!!!!! As a cat-lover and owner myself I know that the contents of this poem are incredibly true!!!!!!! It is a beautifully written poem and completely captures the characteristics of a cheeky cat!!!!

Most of you probably know the this poem from the musical Cats, a musical that, I must admit, I am not particularly keen on!!!!!! However, It remains a beautiful poem, one that is a lot of fun to read allowed! Try it!

"And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known (I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone) Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!"

easter challenge - day eight, nine and ten!

Metropolis Sound // 25.03.11

BOOKCLUBBERS WELCOME!

Apologies for a combined number of days!!!! I have been reading my poems, just not writing them up here! I am now writing to you from my beautiful bedroom at home in sunny Lancashire! EXCITING TIMES! So let us go back to Thursday and see what was rocking the poetry boat........

Day Eight - 'Daffodils' by William Wordsworth. On Thursday I left Glasgow (Sad sad sad), but ohmygoodness what beautiful weather it was! On my way to university I walked past Park and saw the beautiful Daffodils on the embankment. Immediately it was this poem that sprung to mind! And what a wonderful poem it is! Wordsworth's attention to detail in this poem is incredible and I guarantee just reading it will transport you to a hillside somewhere surrounded by a blanket of yellow daffodils. See what you think.....http://www.poetry-online.org/wordsworth_daffodils.htm

"My heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils."

Day Nine - 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear. This is one of my ultimate favourite poems! As a child I had it written on a painted plate in my room. It was always above my bed so I would read it as I went off to sleep. It is without a doubt one of the best childhood poems ever written! I remember reading it to the class at School when I was in Year 8 - very nerve racking! The rhyme scheme in this poem is so so simple, but it really captures the reader, and creates a rhythm which allows us to picture the two characters dancing at the end in perfect harmony. The romance in the poem is something that will remain with me forever, as my introduction to romance! http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/ns/pussy.html

"Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long have we tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?'"

Day Ten - 'Wild Nights' by Emily Dickinson. After waking up to a cold and grey morning, it was time for a bit of 'Wild Nights'! It is a short, but very very effective poem! Its wild and ferocious description of the see, is to me incredibly romantic and exciting! As a lover of the sea, anything related to it has attracts me! Just close your eyes while you read it, and imagine the sea and a special someone! http://www.potw.org/archive/potw58b.html

"Were I with thee, Wild nights should be Our luxury!"

We discuss the news in brief, talk about recent happenings at the University, enjoy a "delicious" Teen Talk, narrowly miss the spirit of Diana and of course we find out how Lisa Varty is doing.

Great tracks as well from The Clash, The Beatles, Steely Dan and of course, the man himself - Prince. All in all, it's not to be missed. Remember to contact us with all your complaints, compliments and critique to alldaycheeky@gmail.com and don't forget to tune in next week, 10AM at www.subcity.org!

Jamie played us a couple of his favourite songs and brought with him the loud, but ever endearing Ross Clark of Three Blind Wolves.

Have a listen and enjoy.

Ross is playing with TBW in the Arches tonight with Open Swimmer and Bwani Junction. Also playing tonight is Glasgow's Otherpeople with Carnivores and You Already Know as part of Glasgow PodcART's Mix up Mayhem night in Bloc. After that if I am still standing I will be going for a dance at Clouds in the Subclub.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 25.03.11

Producer Harry breaks cover - following his acts of guerilla film-making, he is currently in hiding from both the forces of establishment repression and radical revolution - to prevent Gareth K Vile from making any jokes about student protest. Fortunately, a packed programme ensures that Vile has got his serious face on.

Howie Reeve from Tattie Toes kicks off the Hour, before Lizzie Cass Maran of the Skinny comes in to talk comedy. Then a quick visit to the park for a spot of zombie spotting, and a chat with Lent Fest's artistic director keeps Vile on the straight and narrow. He then pauses to top up his Kinky Karma... before being booted off his own show, again.

It's a Trap! // 25.03.11

2066, the Zombie Alan Lomax swings his cyber machete, cutting through the digital undergrowth, tripping over expired mediafire links, brushing away low bitrate transcodes, 96kpbs distorted cassette rips, bass overload, in the red...untagged! cautiously, he enters the sordid depths of the sonic jungle, seedy blogspots, depraved fragmented tumblr postings, pixelated jpegs, trap doors...blogs last updated 4 years ago, the graveyard. a box of tapes. hazy... sinister cassette jams from 90s Memphis, Tennessee. Production values = el zilcho

horrorcore? not quite, beneath the murk and tape hiss there's a groove, distant remnants of funk and soul + the early seeds of the crunk movement (see episode: http://www.subcity.org/shows/itsatrap/31422/)

post show note: the cassette motif worked out quite well: lousy sound quality and abrupt endings...authenticity!

live: mass meeting with the principal

Subcity Update // 25.03.11

Subcity Update should be bringing you the principal's emergency open meeting with staff and students to you live. That is unless the builders dig up the secret cable we have had planted in the Bute Hall for the past 16 years.

This emergency meeting was announced yesterday after the events of the 22/03/2011 where both university security staff and Strathclyde police attempted to evict students from the "Free" Hetherington. The incident drew the attention of the media across Scotland as the police launched a major operation in an attempt to control the situation that arose which included police dogs, a helicopter and after the eviction police on horses patrolling the area.

The incident has caused major embarrassment to both the University of Glasgow and Strathclyde Police as questions were asked about the "disproportionate nature" of the operation.

Because everyone is protesting that they want summer NOW and then the police were like "Thats unfair we only get on holiday for summer" so everyone started being jerks.

Look, we all like summer. Sand, orange juice and sunshine and shades. But please, being a jerk ain't gonna make Mr Sunshine turn up at your party.

I'm on some Unlucky Alf shit right here. Swear down.

In the park next door to my house there are feral Rangers fans with taps aff smacking footballs square in the face of students on that hill. Old Swampy is loitering with the sheer intent of talking to you, off on another one of his gargling poppers or eating dog poo sized kernels of hash and banging on about he had all his dub 7 inches stolen by someone at a party and he finally managed to get reunited with his family when some mad bastard taught him how to use the internet and he did the whole Friends Reunited out yer face on cheap Brandy shtick.

Frosty Jacks is getting supped and warm tonic wine is at that stage where its all spicky and weird and calpoly. Some skater just vommed next to that ice cream van where that NEDS style hammer incident happened a few years back. One of those fucking horrendous Glaswegian just stepped outta the Belle and Sebastian LP cover goons is tootering around on one of those lame bicycles (never a BIKE with these twee cunts, eh?) and everyone on the hill secretly wants her to fall off and graze her sickeningly smug face off and go all Mel Gibson in Man Without A Face. Try getting your leg over at a Camera Obscura gig with THAT look loser!

Some weirdo on day release is feeding the ducks. That ALWAYS happens.

Anyway all that bop is happening in the park but I'm indoors in bed and I do not feel well at all.

So I've bunked off the studio stuff tonight and instead produced this mix of odd from old and new stuff I've been digging recently. Including a new one from Falty DL's latest, some archive synth action, NDW spittle subversionists Die Todliche Doris, abusive reaction wind and brass humping from Arnold Dreyblatt and Colin Stenson, total underground brain-out with Acid Birds and more.

the red room runs the voodoo down

The Red Room // 23.03.11

In what is probably our most/least controversial episode yet, we discussed such topics as the recent events surrounding the Free Hetherington and the students who are occupying it, the times where you find a total bargain in a used record shop of a totally amazing record, and the horrors of employment.

We also discussed encounters with crazed Englishmen, attending wedding receptions, and also inserted several references to The Simpsons throughout the episode, see if you can find them.

In addition to all that, we discussed the latest films we had seen, including films by Stanley Kubrick (Barry Lyndon), Wayne Wang (The Joy Luck Club), Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Freidman (Howl), and more.

Not much to say this week theme-wise because we've decided to just go play hunners (Chris) of balls-out, fannies-out, tits-out, cocks-out, taps-aff (Duncan) beasts of tunes. Expect the usual compendium of sheer noise terror, quasi-religious bullshit and relentlessly overwhelming urge to rip yr own womb out. Then we'll stop talking and play some tunes.

Disco Disco // 27.03.11

We did have a super cool idea for this show, but unfortunately we were poltely requested to refrain from carrying that idea out by the Subcity Board of Management. So, instead what we've done is we have replaced our usual chat about how many girls cheeys has failed to have sex with this week, with a unique overview of the Campus goings on from the past week. With such colourful viewpoints, who knows what will be the conclusion? All we know is that it's worth a listen.

live broadcast from src council meeting tonight

Subcity Update // 24.03.11

Subcity Update will be broadcasting live from the SRC Council Meeting tonight, where amongst other business, an emergency motion which calls for disciplinary action against Hetherington occupiers is being discussed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The motion is as follows:

"The SRC opposes any kind of occupation that affects the quality of learning and teaching, such as the continuing occupation of the Hetherington Research Club. Furthermore the SRC requests that the University takes disciplinary action against:

a) Any student who vandalizes or damages university property
b) Any student that assaults university staff
c) Any student whom actively seek to disturb the learning and teaching environment of the university.

Council reaffirms its commitment to free expression and consultation, in a constructive manner, in keeping with the University of Glasgow’s tradition of student representation. "

In accordance with the SRC Constitution Schedule 6, Section 3.2, I hereby submit an ‘Emergency Motion’. We consider this matter to be time sensitive, because discussion is ongoing with the University regarding the continued occupation of the Hetherington Research Club is ongoing and there is a growing demand from fellow students for the SRC Council to take a stronger stance against the actions of University Students on Tuesday 22nd March 2011.

I trust an email will suffice as a submission in writing. However should your require written consent, we hope you will allow us sufficient time to do so.

Yours Sincerely Matt Morrison (SRC Clubs and Societies Officer)

Seconded by:

Ana Cohen (Post Graduate Convenor)
Flo Weber (Arts College Convenor)
Hannah Mary Goodlad (College of Science Convenor)
Ellen Grant (Charities Officer)
Stuart Ritchie (College of Social Science Convenor)
Jenny Court (Women’s Officer)
Suzanne Milne (General Rep)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We understand that Flo Weber (Arts College Convenor) has since withdrawn his support for the motion.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 24.03.11

This week's playlist has a lot of catchy, straightforward pop-rock brought to you by likes of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Girls and The Smashing Pumpkins. J Mascis makes a whole lot less noise with a track from his new solo LP, and Explosions in the Sky get to the point a whole lot quicker with their new song "Trembling Hands". TV on the Radio bring this week's Recommended Record ahead of the release of their upcoming album "Nine Types of Light". A final treat comes in the form of a Public Enemy cover by the Dillinger Escape Plan. Featuring fuckin' Chuck D. That's what I'm talkin' about.

Tune in next week for something a little more sinister.

P.S. Here's a download link to the free Smashing Pumpkins album mentioned in today's show: "MACHINA II: The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music". The link works at the time of writing.

Pop Goes The Revolution // 18.03.11

Well the famous random letter selecting powers of Dave Reed have been used many times before on the show. So it felt only right we used his marvellous invention for a special guide through the historical back catalogue.

We play songs from the first two series of PGTR for those that might have missed our younger years BC (before Caroline). And to help us choose the songs from the back catalogue, we enlisted Dave's excellent random letter selecting abilities. So join us as we scrape over old forgotten playlists to pick out a few gems from yester PGTR year.

Local heat came from Slow It Down, Mia Dora & Sei A plus Dirty Basement, Peace & Cinephile were in the running for our prestigious Local Hero Award....

We also announced that as of next week our blog will be no more as we launch our shiny new website in it's place.

His new sound of french juke and mixing has been on repeat for me along with DJ Rashad's most recent record on Ghettophiles; Just a Taste. Get some tissues, I've realised this is a pretty emotional record, well as emotional 160bpm juke music can be. I'll also be playing some DJ Manny, another Ghettophile boy who released Harvey World back in January.

Slave to the Rhythm // 21.03.11

Morning All!

I have retreated back to AA Milne again this morning......due to my HUGEEEEE breakfast!!! Today I have chosen his poem 'The King's Breakfast'. This is another wonderful children's poem, and believe me it still makes me smile today. I love it! I used to love doing the voices for this poem with my Grannie, and even today it is a fantastic poem to have a read over. Basically, AA Milne is just a genius!

Here is a link: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-king-s-breakfast/

'The Queen took The butter And brought it to His Majesty; The King said, "Butter, eh?" And bounced out of bed. "Nobody," he said, As he kissed her Tenderly, "Nobody," he said, As he slid down the banisters, "Nobody, My darling, Could call me A fussy man - BUT I do like a little bit of butter to my bread!'

Masha was beaming // 21.03.11

On this episode we started of with one of the best remix's I've heard in a good while. Floating points have always been a favourite with their own productions but they also know what it means to remix a song, both making it their own and respecting the original.

Apart from that we played a tune from the début release from Koreless who we had play at our last Deadly Rhythm party and loads of new stuff from FaltyDL, BNJMN, Joy O and the massive 'Thomp'and 'When I dip' from Instra:Mental. Big stuff.

To hear those last two in their proper surroundings Deadly Rhythm will be hosting Instra:Mental at our next party on 16th April.

DAY SIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Today is the day for some Roger McGough! I have chosen his poem 'You and I'.......here is a link: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-and-i/

A short but extremely good poem for today! I have been to see Roger McGough at poetry readings a few times and he is utterly superb. I love his use of rhythm and punctuation in this poem, really gives it some bite. Let me know what you think!

'You bleed. I see crocodile tears. I withdraw. You reel from the impact.'

Posted at 18:55, 22nd March 2011

So, yeah, everything we're playing this week dropped within the last few days either online or in record stores. Doesn't get fresher than that. We're loving Pusha T's new material from his upcoming Fear of God mixtape on Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label - seriously different feel from his typical coke rap style of Clipse, but rappers can do pop music brilliantly, albeit not very often. Pusha T seems to have a good thing going here. Killer Mike is consistently fire, and Chris Brown is making his comeback as their heir to Usher's dancer/singer/heart-throb throne, albeit with a public awareness of his domestic abuse incident with Rihanna. There's something rather bitter about the whole tale - how quickly a public can forgive and forget. "I don't care if Michael touched those boys, Billie Jean is my jam!". Yeah, heard it before. It really does appear to be the case that there's no such things as bad publicity. Still, we'll see how this one rolls out. We're still obsessed with the cryptic The Weekend - we're dying to here more material - and Wiz Khalifa has quickly asserted himself as Top 40 pop without even dropping his debut yet. Rap truly is the new pop.

Posted at 23:07, 21st March 2011

Codeine Drums // 07.03.11

Jamie and I have a real soft spot/passion for R&B producers such as Just Blaze, Timbaland, Ryan Leslie, The-Dream, et al. The list goes on. Your childhood jams were pretty much all made by these guys, and we think they're modern pop music at it's best. We're also into the new Hyperdub releases, which show us that the summer of funky house that we drank and danced to a few summers ago is still alive and well with releases from Funkystepz and Ill Blu. Real mixed bag here, hope you're down.

Posted at 23:00, 21st March 2011

Codeine Drums // 21.02.11

Our ethos is always to represent the music that we love and to play you the newest possible music every week - be it through hunting through blogs, getting exclusives and white labels minutes before the show, and the occasional sneaky under-the-table record that has passed through very few hands indeed. Sometimes the music isn't fresh that week, or that day, but they'll be gems that fit seamlessly with what's brand new too. The new Jacques Greene remix dropped the morning of the show, OFWGKTA seem to be taking over with their second album, and Koreless is yet another example of the many stupidly young and stupidly talented producers dropping great tracks on a regular basis. That, and r'n'b goes with everything. Musical hot sauce.

easter challenge - day three, four and five

Charmicarmicat // 20.03.11

BookClubbers, apologies for the combination of these three days! I have been in Edinburgh over the weekend and finally touched down back in Glasgow!

Day Three - On Saturday morning I read Tennyson's 'Tithonus' for the first time in about a year. Oh such a good poem! I studied Tennyson at school and this was always one of my favourites out of his collection. Like Hardy, Tennyson's ability to capture the emotion of the narrator is incredible. It is hard not to feel very involved with the life of Tithonus in this poem. Have a read and let me know what you think! http://charon.sfsu.edu/tennyson/TITHONUS.HTML

'The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,'

Day Four - Yesterday was time for a childhood classic! After a tiring weekend it was nice to snuggle up in bed on a Sunday night with a bit of AA Milne! I read his delightful poem 'Lines and Squares'. This was my favourite poem as a childhood, and I can remember it being read to me endlessly. My dad was of course wonderful at it, but my Grannie was incredible! I remember she bought my a copy of the Milne poems and I always begged her to read this one to me. She did the voices wonderfully! Even today I still play this game! It is set in London, so whenever I go I am always playing lines and squares in my head. I even did it when I went two weeks ago at the age of 18! Next time you are walking down the street, watch out for those bears! http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lines-and-squares/

"Whenever I walk in a London street, I'm ever so careful to watch my feet;"

Day Five - TODAY! Seamus Heaney day I feel! Another one from the schooldays! I studied this poem, 'Death of a Naturalist' in Year 10 for my GCSE's and immediately fell in love with Heaney as a poet. I have been obsessed with his work ever since. So thank you to my GCSE teacher Mr Bisset!!!!!! I especially love this poem because of its descriptions, they are incredible. The immense attention to detail makes you feel like you are the one literally seeing the Frogspawn in the pond. The way Heaney uses these descriptions to emphasise his themes is another fascinating element which draws me in all the more! I hope you like it too! http://www.eliteskills.com/c/9327

"Some sat

Poised like mud grenades, their blunt heads farting.

I sickened, turned, and ran. The great slime kings

Were gathered there for vengeance and I knew

That if I dipped my hand the spawn would clutch it."

guest - horizontal ground (1n4)

Animal Farm // 22.03.11

Extra special how this week as we host a fantastic guest mix from the highly secretive HORIZONTAL GROUND collective. provided by producer 1N4.

Since parent label FROZEN BORDER launched in early 2009, the collective have fired out some of the most modern innovative techno in years which is reminiscent of artists such as Dan Bell, Robert Hood, Basic Channel, Downwards Mexus 21/Mark Archer, LFO, Robert Gordon, Peter Ford, Joey Beltram and Sleeparchive.

Since Horizontal Ground was released as a sub label, it can boast a large number of the world's top ranking djs as followers, with the outlook that it should be more about the music than the producer behind it.

radio presenter abducted

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 18.03.11

After the previous week’s debacle, when Vile’s plaintive appeal for Harry touched the hearts of both his regular listeners, and the complaints from all quarters about the general lack of technical expertise, bad fact checking and pretentious monologues that replaced the usual conversations between Vile and his producer, Harry is safely returned to the fold. Just in time, too: with a bumper line up of guests, the studio has never been as crowded. Even Keith Richards turns up with some advice.

Vile’s roving has taken him to Edinburgh, where he spoke to Dee from the Itsy Collective about the forthcoming Torture Garden. Gary MCNair explains his work with the National Theatre of Scotland and Nick Underhill gives a taster for his next play at the Tron, What Happened Is This. The studio is upsurbed by the Wee Man and Bratchy, leaving Gareth struggling in the cupboard, hog-tied and gagged. You can even hear him struggling to escape during one of Bratchy’s introductions.

Interviewed following his dramatic escape – after Harry found the key to the handcuffs – Vile claims that the show is taking shape. “The mixture of music, both local and visiting, and performance is becoming clearer. I’ve also learnt that Harry’s advice to me about broadcasting was very useful, and I regret ignoring it. I also regret putting on that Patrick Wolf track. Harry was right. It is not very good. But I am not apologising for the Van Der Graaf number.”

soul cellar special with stephen and trevor

The Funky Cuts // 19.03.11

A few months back Stephen Scanlan and Trevor Ford invited me to their club The Soul cellar.

As well as taking a box of records I packed the digi corder and taped three hours of solid soul and funk sounds.

Both Trevor and Stephen played some great soul and funk sides mostly up tempo and a lot were new to me.

We've selected some tunes played on that night and we'll be chatting about them, what's happening to the The Soul Cellar and a joint club nigh Stephen's involved with.

But mostly the show will be devoted to the music

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 18.03.11

Tune in for a low fat serving of the All Day Cheeky Breakfast!

Without Callum "The regulator" Smith in the studio Kevin and Michael run riot. What little moral conventions they had previously fly out the window in the 2 hour onslaught.

We find out what's wrong with Varty, we delve into another Hidden Gem, the spirit of Diana descends once more, and we are visited in the studio by the one and only Big Gay Tom.

Not only do we have all these features, but we also are visited by a real life, genuine Turk!

Ceniz is her name, and she wants to tell us all about STaG's new 'found spaces' piece No Way Out. More importantly, she wants to tell us where Hummus REALLY comes from.

The away team then take on the home side in a heated Defend The Indefensible, an epic match not to be missed.

Tune in, get your cheek on.

Over and out, Bacon Fries!

dirtbox: last japan & calvertron interviews +

Bangers & Mashup // 20.03.11

OHKAY!

Another busy week of getting good content together has come and gone, but what a show we have for you.

Another prerecorded show (due to Mungos & Uni Commitments...)will see us presenting to you - Dirt Box, a fresh monthly night at Stereo brought to you by Fraser Welsh & Crocky! The boys launched last month, with a banging line up of local dj's to support the massive dj/producer Will Bailey, and this month, they have turned the heat up.

Next week will see the Glasgow debut of Last Japan, along with Calvertron, who has been an established producer on the UK electronic music scene for well over ten years, notably as one half of duo Twocker among more. So to get you hyped, we caught up with the guys on thursday ahead of the Glasgow gig to find out what they've been getting up to, what we can expect from them next Friday and anything they could spill about what they have in the pipeline. If that's not enough, the Electrikal soundsystem will be powering this one, so get bass faces at the ready. Here's the event:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178507788854245

We'll be giving away guestlist + 1 to the event so tune in tomorrow to find out how you can get your mits on that. We'll be announcing that on the day.

Aswell as that, we'll be playing a Last Japan mix for Big Up Podcast, and an exclusive Calvertron mix for Dirt Box on next weeks show. Also on next weeks show, we will have some exclusive productions from De_Phect, Pete Mullen with live vocals from Lu Angel, so it's not one to miss. We have put together a schedule of content right through until May, so keep your eyes peeled and ears to the ground for more information on upcoming guests... trust me, there's some mega exciting stuff coming up..

In other news, after our final night Blackfriars last week, The Subfriction crew have been keeping busy and getting prepared for our re-launch at Club 520. Mega thanks to all the DJ's who came down to Blackfriars like Indra, Skandy, Bungo, NoFace, Taz Buckfaster and All Caps, we had a great time! If you aren't up to speed, here's the link to the Subfriction Tumblr, where you can find some great stuff plus all the info on our move.

http://subfriction.tumblr.com/

If you've haven't been down yet, and you're not convinced, check out the review of February's Subfriction at Blackfriars by fellow Subcity show & blog, Synth. Massive props to them.

http://synthesiseglasgow.blogspot.com/2011/02/subfriction-presentstaz-buckfaster.html

And before we go, there's a new night launching in Glasgow called Rumours, which the Subterrain boys are behind, and it looks set to be massive!

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=109791572433120&ref=ts

In the coming weeks, we will be getting the guys in the studio, big tings... but we'll keep that close to our chest just now. However, we have tickets, so if you want any, drop us a private message on our facebook page with your deets etc, they are a £5 each.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 05.03.11

Romance couldn't make this episode as he was off doing important work for the UN. Layman, of course, was more than willing and capable of taking the reigns on his own. This show featured a selection of excellent funky cuts chosen by Layman and a special "Sweet 16" mix recorded by Romance in celebration of Subcity Radio's 16th birthday. Happy birthday Subcity!

Thanks to regular guest Sarah "Shawsome" Shaw for joining towards the end of the show to keep Layman company.

Part one - summer jams, bubbly synths, bizarro lo-fi disco.

Part two - bass heavy murderation. borderline dancehall/ragga aggressiveness.

easter challenge - day two

It Ain't Workin' Chief // 19.03.11

Morning BookClubbers

Day Two = Poem Two!!!!!!

Another of my favourite poets today, Thomas Hardy. I adore his poetry!

I have chosen his poem 'The Going' for today. This one of my favourite's of his, but also has a lot of significance to me through personal experience. Here is a link to the poem: http://www.poetryconnection.net/poets/Thomas_Hardy/2716

I first read this poem at a time when I had lost someone very close to me. The accurateness of Hardy's description of the emotions one feels at the time of a loss is incredible, and for me was spot on. When you read it, focus on his use of techniques and how he uses these to convey his emotion.

It really is a very, very beautiful poem.

"I seem but a dead man held on end

To sink down soon...O you could not know

That such swift fleeing

No soul foreseeing -

Not even I - would undo me so!"

Worst Chips Ever // 18.03.11

Underground Mancunium:

Manchester. Fuck all to answer for, now you ask, y'nosey cunt.

The Peterloo Massacre. The civic totem of the Chartist and Suffragette movements. The worlds first nuclear free city. Fuck, the worlds first CITY In industrial terms. Cottonopolis. Friedrich Engels Dad's factory was kickin' about, his broke mate Charlie Marx and him came up with a few ideas. It was one of our lot who first imported E into the British Isles too, so sorry about that.

And then there was Acid House and shit. Factory. Which everyone knows about. Joy Division, New Order, all that. Oh aye, the birth of the Football League and the Trades Union Congress happened in the capital of the north too.

This is part one of a personal view of the Mancuniun underground. We have more to offer than testosterone fuelled cock slapping Gallagher tragedy snuff rock. Serious.

Guy Called Gerald. The Stranger. Irma Vep. Big Flame. Tools You Can Trust. Infinite Light. Autechre.

Yes mate.

Anthony Burgess too. And Trevor Griffiths set The Comedians here. And our fucking takeaways dont shut at like 1am, like some fruity blah. And we can get alcohold till 2am at Spar and for 24hrs a day at certain supermarkets.

Beat that.

C'mon, we're not that bad are we? This week University of Glasgow graduates Hammy & Jenko (well he's nearly there) discuss philosophy, psychology, and various other weighty topics in an hour of high-brow radio excellence. Obviously, to pander to our ever-decreasing army of listener we've had to pepper it with some jokes, crude comments and awful contemporary hip-hop. But what else d'ye expect fae two bams, eh?

mesak (harmonia)

Wavy Graves // 16.03.11

This episode of Wavy Graves hosts a live set of new material from Harmonia’s Mesak. Oscillating bleeps and micro glitches stutter and falter over raw synth harmonies and experimental tonalities, all under laid with almost acidic basslines. This robotic, left field electro-funk is skweee at its darkest.

Alongside our favourite finnish electronica we’ve got some fresh post dubstep from Boxcutter. ‘Allele’ is off his latest release on Planet Mu and integrates the scattered toms of footwork with contemporary garage vocals. We also rinsed some fractured, sub aquatic sounding 8 bit from Dem Hunger from his split with Cupp Cave. We then reduced the tempo to 108bpm with some tracks from 'the fall of moombahton' compilation from Heartbreak.

easter challenge - day one

Live From Las Vegas // 16.03.11

BookClubbers HELLO!!!

Today is Day 1 of our Easter Challenge! I hope you have read or are going to read your daily poem!

Today I have chosen to read my favourite poem OF ALL TIME, 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'

Here is a link to a copy of the poem: http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html

I first discovered the poem about two years ago, when my old English Lit teacher suggested it to me. It was indeed love at first sight with this poem! Have a read through it and consider the use of imagery and the self deprecation of Prufrock himself. It remains my aim in life to find J. Alfred Prufrock. Never mind Brad Pitt, Prufrock is perfection.

'I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.'

family

Oh families. I remember my family. Odd lot of pricks so the were. There was one day when father of my family came home from work early and heard the strange noises mother was making. He rushed upstairs to see what the cause of such commotion was. He found mother on the bed naked, sweating, and breathing heavily. "What the cuss is going on?" enquired father. "I'm having a heart attack" replied mother. Father rushed downstairs to call an ambulance so that mother could be safely taken to hospital. Before the call could go through, however, sister came through and said to father: "Uncle is hiding upstairs in your closet; he's completely naked!” Father dropped the phone, marched upstairs, opened closet and proceeded to kick the cuss out of uncle while screaming "you cussing prink! My wife is having a heart attack and you're running around naked scaring the kids!”

"Happy families", my mother whispered. "Happy Families".

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 17.03.11

This week sees the continued separation of The Awkward Sons. Faced with having to fill in whilst Chris is grounded on account of his rampant drug abuse and horrific porn collection, I've decided to fall back on an easy selection for myself. Tune in or listen again for an hour long mix of drones, noise, ambience, shoegaze and beats - and you'll probably not even have to listen to my fearful quivering voice.

Hip Hop lost a true legend yesterday. King of the hook and West Coast original Nate Dogg past away and we thought it only right to start this week's show with a certified classic in the form of 'Regulate' with Warren G. Nate Dogg was an inspiration in Hip Hop and we're looking forward to digging through his back catalogue this weekend! Sad times...

Anyway, local heat to move your feet came from the likes of Raksha Vs HaHaHa, Domsko, Koreless and Quahaze this week while OOFT!, Worx & Barrientos battled it out for our Local Hero Award - quite possibly the closest contest we've ever had!

The Red Room // 16.03.11

In this week's episode, we were broadcasting eight hours later than we usually do, which, in addition to giving us eight hours more sleep, also enabled us to deliver a more upbeat and jaunty show, despite both being quite, quite ill. Topics discussed included the films of Ahn Hung Tran (Norwegian Wood), Alfred Hitchcock (Dial M for Murder, I Confess), and Ivan Reitman (Ghost Busters).

We also discussed Jenny's theory about everyone having feline familiars, upcoming gigs we are looking forward to, and the ethics behind paranormal fellatio, as well as discussing victims of bullying standing up to their tormentors, the stars of the Golden Era of Hollywood vs. today's celebrities, as well as Jenny's tremendous homemade tomato soup and pancakes we had earlier in the week (though not together, for that would be disgusting).

Yes, you guessed it, Week Two got off to a less than stellar start as we battled with a few technical issues at the start of the show. There's about a minute of silence after the first song and we almost played the Backyard Babies again instead of Flags Raised.

BUT WE SAVED THE DAY.

The second half of the show is pure gold, so don't let that put you off. Bitchen.

spoken word

Tarantism // 14.03.11

Tonight Tarantism explore a world of music that utilises the power harnessed by the very ordinary medium of spoken word, from the voices of Iggy Pop to Black Francis.

The songs chosen for this show will hopefully help illustrate that some of the most emotive and endearing atmospheres can be created by pieces of music which instead of using singing put to use the most elementary form of human musical contribution - the basic tones of the speaking voice.

Join us once again for another show jammed with chat, news and tunes. This weeks affair will be a trifle more subdued than the previous one and slightly more diverse, but will be no less rawkin'.

This weeks mixtape theme is "Artists In Bands Who've Made Great Music as Solo Artists" and will contain a couple of surprises, let me tell you. We'll also shoe horn in a bit of discussion on this weeks Monday Mixtape.

Also, we'll have some two word reviews of some new and upcoming releases (there's more than last time!) as well as a couple of unsigned acts to wrap your ear lugs around.

Expect that a whole lot more, including some irreverent chat about pointless rubbish.

tingling ˜˜˜˜ tongue ˜˜˜˜ meltdown

My producer and record connoisseur, Fergus, in whom I owe an enormous dosage of thanks for trekking through the severe winds, torrential rain and generally abysmal Scottish weather, compiled the playlist for this broadcast as I negligently left late, arrived late, and ultimately ended up playing nothing for this particular installment. so props to FerGo.

However, as previously mentioned it was left in perfectly capable hands so enjoi this wonderful variety of sounds which includes swathes of hazy, glacial, exotic, and shimmering, brewed up beats. From the sliced up, dark-step presence of a high-pitched wailing of a desperate lover’s search on Dark0’s, “Icebox Rmx,” conjuring up a scene involving a ghostly, and somewhat mystifying walk on a treacherously steep, foggy, marshy mountain on a crisp winter’s night where clouds lay low and the oxygen levels reach tipping point on the verge of running out, to the spatial exploration of the imaginative virtuoso of Flying Lotus’s, “RobertaFlack,” remixed by another virtuoso of the recent, contemporary wave of beatmakers, Mike Slott, as it ebbs & flows from one tinkering grazing comet to the other. The android, liquid-boogie, love hop of Onra as he searches for, “The One,” with the help of Slum Village’s T3, (r.i.p.), to the embryonic ambience of the rather ethereal and pleasantly hollow, tranquil sounds and quaking beats of Mount Kimbie’s, “Before I Move Off,” to the playfully quirky and erratic stop-start, broken melting beats of Dimlite’s, "Firevomit (O.D.N.)," a downtempo yet aurally uplifting, otherwordly composition which always helps the senses to thrive and awaken or reawaken our state of consciousness. Finally we subsequently culminate with the fantastic remix of MF Doom’s “Great Day,” remixed by the always amazing Four Tet.

( also on a minor note - - - - Listen out for the mention of the former WWF/E wrestler and former olympic gold medallist, Kurt Angle by MF Doom, or otherwise he'll ManGLE you and make you Tap out - - - - !!!! )

you got to walk home, baby

The Co-operative // 06.03.11

I thought I heard the creaking of an ancient ship: ropes and timbers straining to hold it all together. An awful chorus of discordant screeching and scraping, it was, before some final coming-apart. But the sound came not from beyond the windows, nor even the bed where I failed to sleep. I was sickened to discover that the sound came from me, and that I was that creaking ship.
Mick Jackson

This week, Transport is our theme. Cars, trains, planes, spaceships, tractors, hovercraft, pogo sticks - we discuss how we have and haven't travelled, and place the pleasures of boats in their correct order. There's a story about a moral dilemma on board a speeding train. Songs, variations on these themes, including Sun Ra, Elvis, The Young Knives and T-Rex.

Here is a complimentary ticket across cyberspace to our blog. Travel safely.

The Co-operative // 20.02.11

What can I say? Possibly the most glorious moment of our little lives, we visited the Tunnocks factory in Uddingston to talk to Boyd Tunnock, the head of a mighty biscuit dynasty. I hesitate to compare this to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because, frankly, it was better. Look at some awesome pictures of our trip here.

dj jinty live at subcity party

Gutter Riddim // 13.03.11

This week I'm joined in the studio by Alexander of the imfamous G20 crew and for the first half of the show he will be spitting over some of the freshest beats to come from the scene. I also have new music to play from Dream Mclean, Wiley, Rival & kozzie.

On the second half I'll be playing the recording of my DJ set at last years super sweaty Subcity party. The event was mad! About 200 people packed into Sleazys basement, tunes supplied by Bangers & Mashup, Biba Nights, Codeine Drums and myself.

The mix itself is about 40 minutes long and full to the brim with classic grime bangers and theres a wee bit of crowd participation in there too!

Left Of The Dial // 13.03.11

This week: Dead Kennedys like short songs. They like short songs. They like short songs, etc. So do we. So we're taking up the gauntlet - 30 songs in an hour, without sacrificing the show's regular features or eclectic tastes. The rules: THERE ARE NO RULES, except nothing over two minutes, and they have to work as songs in the same way that anything longer would. Can it be done question mark

Last night was indeed Subfriction, so tonight we'll have a live b2b with our very own Floyd, and Co-Resident at Subfriction, Kid Robotik, plus some exclusive productions to play from him. We've also got some banter with the one and only Dj NoFace, so it's not one to miss.

We'll be filling you in on Subfriction, and the big tings to follow, along with upcoming interviews & guests for the show.

the discrete charms of a bourgeois radio show

Screen Shrapnel // 12.03.11

On today’s Screen Shrapnel we discuss the latest cinematic appropriation of a Philip K. Dick novella. How appropriate, then, that the structure of the show follows the Philip K. Dick formula: namely, things appears mind numbingly normal until some all knowing force reveals to us that the whole show has in-fact been a sham(bles). That omnipotent force is our regular (and perhaps only) listener, Matt Lloyd. Cheers for the blue pill / facebook post. The good thing is we can now blame our poor broadcasting skills on the mysterious men in fedoras who pull life’s strings in the Adjustment Bureau.

Also shambling through their lives, teetering on the edge of despair, is the well heeled family at the heart of Joanna Hogg’s second feature, Archipelago. Helen found sympathy in this disintegrating clan of toffs; Jamie loved watching them suffer.

What are your thoughts?

identity crisis

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 11.03.11

It's been a busy week for Vile. Having discovered both My_____ and ReverbNation, he has been chasing local bands with the tenacity of a yapping, annoying dog. The yapping then turned to growling, as Vile explains to Harry that he has become the champion of the Glasgow Underground. Harry's sighs are clearly audible throughout the show.

In an attempt to capture some of the cool left over by the previous show - No Means Yes - Vile begins with a spot of Primal Scream before settling into his eclectic musical selection. Visits from Quinn, Bigfoot's, Paper Girl Scotland and a quick visit to the RSAMD rescues the airways from yet another monologue about the nature of performance and how great critics are.

Harry, as always, denies all knowledge of Vile's activities.

Nothing but big tings on this week's show...

After finally recovering from Subcity's Sweet Sixteen (big thanks to everyone who came down early to catch our Hip Hop nonsense) it was time to get some big tunes together, and as always Glasgow produced. Raksha dropped a free EP on us last week which provided us with a few gems as well as the new Heartbeats compilation 'Beastiality' which is finally available for free download.

Further to that we had new heat from Profisee, Julio Bashmore and Classixx as well as the customary Tea Time Rave Off which was distinctly Garage tinged this week. GET ON IT YO

an absolute drink sodden mess of friendship parps

Worst Chips Ever // 04.03.11

I'll level with you.

I was drunk. My mate Sarah txts me at about 3 in the afternoon. I'm flat broke, dole day aint for another week, I'm proper surviving on shoplifting/asking my girlfriend to cook for me/hanging around outside the Noodle Bar in town loitering with intent, hoping my number one cosmic ordering wish will be heeded by the planetary overlords...

... but no folk ever take their eyes off their chop suey in time for me to make off with it. Fair enough. Shit is like 6.50.

Anyhow, Sarah invites me to the bar round the corner from my flat, and she's buying. Between her and another nutter I know (this ones Italian, which makes him even more bonkers) we get absolutely Summerslammed on pink wine. Sarah legged it off somewhere quite unexpectedly, me and Enrico watched the football. Lovely.

The next day I woke up next to a full bottle of wine. I drank that wine. At some point, my mate Tim came over with another bottle of wine. I drank that too. In the studio Earthly Matters were on it. I drank more.

This show is the result of a two day binge. It is, therefore, not for the faint hearted.

It was meant to be about the concept of friendship, but I circumnavigated all that by playing a whole hunk of St Vitus and Heresy and shit.

Don't really remember much from half an hour in.

Go forth. Be brave.

show 17: the friendly ghost hour

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 10.03.11

So, last week's show was all about the recording, the use of studios, about men sat behind desks getting that perfect sound for the artist. As visceral as that can be it's just not the same as taking that full on experience of a live show right in your face. Recorded live shows get a bit of a bad press, they can be doctored within an inch of their lives and the line between studio and live gets blurred - but that's not going to put these guys (loose use of the term) behind this desk off.

Get involved and hear our take on seminal live recordings tonight. Your room will look like a painter's radio by the time we're done.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 10.03.11

Source Tags & Mixtapes returns once again and, for better or worse, I'm single-handedly presenting the show from this episode onwards. There's also a few guest spots in the pipeline for future episodes. This week sees the start of a new feature where I'll be pulling a record from the Source Tags vault, highlighting why I think the album's significant and playing key cuts from it. This episode has a focus on some gloomy, droney music, with a couple of exceptions as always. Along with a nod to Trent Reznor's oscar win, the mood is set by show favourites Swans and Planning For Burial. While I'm on that: you need to check out the Planning For Burial/Lonesummer split.

See you next week.

Whose Responsible This? // 10.03.11

It's been pretty rough on fans of the show given my obligations elsewhere but empirical evidence suggests that tomorrow a show can exist in this dimension of March, like a strange singularity of white hot hate spooging across the interzones. Just a onesie until April I think, but I need to scratch the monkey. Expect topics of choice news about your crippling social deficiencies and some science as well as tunes of a fantastical nature. You can listen in or you can seek fulfillment in that seventh muffin you've shoved in your language pipe, it makes little difference to me.

The Red Room // 09.03.11

Another back-to-basics, raw, uncut episode of The Red Room, in which we, while belatedly celebrating International Women's Day (and more importantly, Pancake Day), discussed/reviewed/rated the nudity in movies by Fritz Lang (M), Chan-wook Park (Cut), Sam Raimi (Evil Dead II), Dario Argento (Suspiria), and more, as well as our experience at Glasgow's Grosvenor Cinema and their All Night Horror Madness event.

Some of the off-topic discussions we inevitably wandered in to included the proper ethical methods involved in the successful running of a band, basslines that are fun to play while performing music, the loudest gigs we had attended, the current trend of domesticating foxes for home use, and the merits of having a girlfriend who dresses awesome and rocks out on the bass guitar.

Screen Shrapnel // 05.03.11

So, with Graham frolicking in an antipodean paradise with koalas and possums, it falls to Jamie to take the reins at the Screen Shrapnel mix-desk – expect links as smooth as Gordon Ramsey’s forehead. Helen Wright, film buff and 3D nut, is gracious enough to join Subcity amateur hour this week to save our audience from a very boring monologue.

On the show we discuss the Os-s-s-s-s-s-car results, cast our minds back over eleven days of cinematic fun at the Glasgow Film Festival, and we dissect the pointy shenanigans of Nic Cage’s latest subdued character study, Drive Angry 3D.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

kaleidoscope // 02.03.11

Joined in the studio by Calum Russell, Kaleidoscope gets an exclusive insight into his forthcoming show on the station 'Funky Junk' as he picks out this week's Golden Oldies. I finally play the Nite Jewel cover that I've been saving since last year and in between times preview new music from Hard Mix, Sleep Over, Keep Shelly in Athens and Jamie XX with Gil-Scott Heron. Old favourites from Washed Out, Bibio, Wild Nothing and The National fill up this diamond of a playlist. All that glitters is not gold, besides this.

look who came crawling back....

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 07.03.11

Believe it or not, our New Year's Resolution was not "miss every show this year".

We're itching to get back into the Subcity intimacy den, and after being consistently usurped by circumstance and error, we've made a pact that nothing short of armageddon is stopping us this evening.

This month, we cast our focus over some exciting talent a little bit closer to home...

Scotland has undeniably been a driving force behind the forward motion of European techno in recent years, and it's high time we paid tribute to to the people carving out their own niche in a constantly evolving scene.

Our featured artist this evening is Gary Beck, who's been a veritable whirlwind over the last couple of years. His distinctive yet varied trademark sound has been heard across the continent, ever since breakthrough single "Consumed" was snaffled up and championed by a certain Mr. Richie Hawtin.

On the label side of things, we've selected Sleaze Records, consistently one of our favourites of recent times. Also coming straight out of Glasgow - you'd be forgiven for thinking label boss Hans Bouffmyhre is some kind of Swedish-Flemish-Ukrainian male model. He's from Paisley, and it's not his real name.

So, join us, as we cement the reputation of that old adage - "third time lucky".

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 04.03.11

Tune in for another jam packed, fun filled edition of the one and only All Day Cheeky Breakfast.

The boys celebrate in style as they arrive at their 15th show (totally coincidental that it co-insides with Subcity's Sweet Sixteen), by doing more of the same...

They discuss this week's news, play a great game of defend the indefensible, find out what's on In Glasgow (kind of) and what's up with Lisa Varty.

Great tracks too from The Commitments, Yelle, Feist, Prince and some cheesy party tunes thrown in for good measure. We revel in the joy of mid-90s TV theme tunes, with yet another revelation from Callum's childhood. Don't forget to stay until the end, to splendour in the boys enjoying a good old fashioned run-rig to bring the birthday to a cathartic close.

It's another good one! Get involved with the next show: song requests, slanderous abuse and creepy stalkers all encouraged: e-mail alldaycheeky@gmail.com or find us on the old facey-book.

den haan album launch - rpz & wrong island

RPZ

The Official Album Launch night for "Gods From Outer Space" by DEN HAAN.

Friday 11th March 2011 Stereo, Renfield Lane.

Entry £7/£6 11pm - 3am

Den Haan (LIVE), David Barbarossa(Hung Up!) Teamy (Wrong Island), Hushpuppy (RPZ/Death Disco).

On Friday 11th March RPZ & Wrong Island jointly present the official launch party for DEN HAAN's debut album "Gods From Outer Space" at Stereo.

DEN HAAN are a live synthesised dance act - Glasgow based duo Matthew Aldworth and Andy Gardiner. A chance meeting some years ago saw the two bond over their love for insane euro-disco and HI-NRG, and it was in that moment that the idea of Den Haan was born. Den Haan are the sounds of a seedy 1970's disco - sweat, synths, mechanised tribal rhythms and dazzling lights. Den Haan are two guys cruising the night for kicks, rock gods soaked in poppers with booming vocader-vocies and hungry for cheap lovin'. Their debut LP is a loving homage to the ground-breaking productions of Azoto, Tantra, John Carpenter, Patrick Cowley and Claudio Simonetti and a live performance on the night will provide an ear-gasmic glimpse into the musical journey that awaits the listener on the "Gods From Outer Space" debut double LP.

Supporting deejay duties on the night will be provided by two of the LP's fabulously manly cover stars - David Barbarossa (Hung Up!) and Teamy (Wrong Island) - along with RPZ and Death Disco resident Hushpuppy.

DAVID BARBAROSSA (Hung Up) - A regular contributor to club events on the cutting-edge of the musical spectrum, Mr Barbarossa has lent his considerable crate-digging credentials to events by Huntleys & Palmers, Optimo, Fun Sized, Future Sonic and the Wee Chill, playing alongside Todd Terje, Matthew Dear and Black Devil Disco Club. With a record collection running into 5-figures and a musical knowledge of equally immense stature, this pint-size DJ is one of Glasgow's biggest disco hitters.

TEAMY (Wrong Island) - Teamy is an avid collector and consumer of music whose passion for the politics of dancing was forged in the heat of a thousand sweaty Optimo Sundays. He runs his own Wrong Island Event with fellow DJ Dirty Larry, and despite its mere three and something years of parties has become, according to the taste-making Lucky Me collective, somewhat of a "glasgow Institution". The first to host Glasgow parties with LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy & Pat Mahoney, King of Town, Xaver Naudascher, George Issakidis, Ramadanman, Shit Robot, Andy Blake and Prince Language, Wrong Island is firmly established as one of the city's most ambitious and eclectic underground events.

Hushpuppy (RPZ/Death Disco) - Hushpuppy was the creative brains behind seven club-scene-defining years of the Art Schools thursday nights (with RPZ, now monthly at Stereo) and is also main room resident at Arches super-club Death Disco. In addition to years of successful club running he has added his expansive deejaying abilities to major film premiers, Burlesque parties, fashion shows, Art exhibitions and music festivals, sharing the stage over the years with Aeroplane, Zombie Nation, The Crookers, Bang Gang, AC SLater, Brodinski, Villa, Don Rimini, Erol Alkan, Rex The Dog, Siriusmo and Surkin to name but a mere few.

beauty

Live From Las Vegas // 02.03.11

Happy birthday to me... Happy birthday to me... Happy birthday to me...

It was birthday fun all round. There was cake, there were balloons, there was jelly (and I'm not talking about the stuff in my pants... because the doctor gave me pills for that and it's clearing up); birthday joy was had by all. "Who's this one from?" I asked, referring to a neatly wrapped blue box adorned with a ribbon and no indication of who it was from. When no response met my inquiry I shrugged and set about opening the package. It was so carefully wrapped and sealed that it took me the best part of four hours to open, cracking my fingernails and cutting my hands to shreds in the process. When finally the present was open a horrible smell was released from the box. I hesitated to look in. What I saw in there was some kind of sea pig, gasping for breath and dying in the open air. Its movements were slow and alien. I could hear a sound coming from its little mouth. It sounded like little more than a moan but for some strange reason I thought I could make something out of it. I leaned in closer till my face was but an inch from the creature’s dry crusty mouth. Then I heard it speak to me: "you beauty".

In saying that, regardless of the amount of effort we put into these the end result always seems to be the same - two guys talking pish and havin a laugh. If that's what you're into you might just enjoy it, and we PROMISE we'll be back better than ever next time! Maybe.

Rumours // 26.02.11

We're in a junglistic mood this week. Skandy starts things off at 140bpm for half an hr ending on a jungle vibe before Indra spins a straight half hr of rolling Drum & Bass!

DnB is a genre we don't play much on the show these days but Indra has an extensive collection of records from when he used to play it regularly, and still makes the odd purchase when something worthy pops up...

Expect to hear some timeless classics as well as a couple of more recent releases...

~ celestial journey ~~ we goin' explorin' 2nite ~

Earthly Matters // 04.03.11

Have you ever read that Silver Surfer comic, “In Thy Name?” Well this particular episode of Earthly mATTERS is inspired by that comic as it follows the Silver Surfer wandering aimlessly throughout the SpaCe WaYS, searching for intelligible life forms in a Cosmos which can seem so desolate, barren and lonely. So we're packing the bags and goin' off on a journey throughout the universe's huge vacuum which is full of delightful spectacles of stardust, nebulas, exotic, planetary surfaces, and solar systems, whilst dodging organ pirates, corrupt utopian galactic empires, and a being that devours planets. SHEEKS!!!! It is an exploration to seek out new and unusual discoveries.

_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_

SO as PER usual, it's brim full of fluidic, hazy, steady streaming, psychotic beats, tribal squelch rhythms, and tracks from the most wonderful and obscure labels that deserve recognition for consistently exuding their creative juices on a regular basis and pushing the barriers all too frequently. Record labels such as Leaving Records, My Hollow Drum, Alpha Pup, Plus Research, Circulations, Thin Consolation or anyone similar; amongst others.  

_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_

The journey to quadrant 8-5/9's was a static one. I’m lost and really don't know what happened..... specific gravity.

towards a hermeneutics of post student radio

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 04.03.11

... Gareth K Vile proudly claims that the Radio Hour is an expression of a specific post-modern approach: the emphasis on surface, the refusal to delineate between high and low art forms, such as the awkward segue from Stravinsky's Orpheus suite to the raging roar of Holy Mountain, the battle between Producer Harry's musical sensibility and Vile's vision of himself as some sort of free form jazz musician. Yet beneath all of this, there remains a fundamental narrative to the Radio Hour, and in this it is more primitive than post-modern.

Vile's intention is to link the threads between the various artistic communities on the West Coast. For this reason, the apparent juxtapositions, from Andrew Catternick's intelligent musings on visual art, via advocacy of New Territories, to Paul Puppet's cabaret invasion are not so much random or de-centred, but focused on Vile's agenda. Or, as he often admits himself, a ridiculous exploration of one man's endless egotism.

Industry // 20.03.11

Industrial techno don Mike Dehnert will releases his 6th album, "Framework", this month. INDUSTRY's second episode focuses on Dehnert's FACHWERK RECORDS label, which is responsible for delivering uncompromising, machine-driven tech perfect for warehouse parties, but equally at home in a dark and dingy basement club (on this note: can someone PLEASE bring this man to SUB CLUB!!!)

Most of FACHWERK's releases are crafted by Dehnert himself, but Sascha Rydell and Roman Lindau also feature.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 03.03.11

This week, it's all about the producers who've made those great albums into total fucking clit-clenchers, the gods on the knobs, the fruits on the faders, the dicks behind the desks.

And speaking of dicks behind the desks, the sexiest of all the sexy co-hosts, Tony 'Secret Queer' Morrow, couldn't make it tonight cos of a hard drive problem. He's driven it hard into me plenty of times before, and it's never been an issue. Guess his computer is less forgiving than my billowing hoop. So it's a solo spectacular, much like my crusty, tear-stained 'love life'. HOT.

the first show!

Industry // 06.03.11

"Industry" will present the finest in deep and dark house and techno, with a focus on dub-techno flavoured, industrial-strength techy goodness. The show will also seek to expose the work of some of the many unsigned DJ's and producers, both locally and from around the globe, who use platforms such as Soundcloud to share their talent. Expect to hear tracks from labels such as Ostgut Ton, Fachwerk Records and Zeeec, as well as your obsessive techno pal who never leaves his home "studio" unless he's nipping out to buy cables, equipment or play a gig.

For the first show, host 27B drops some Nadja Lind, Mike Dehnert, Roska ... and even Nina Simone ...

*** My favourite track of the show? This outstanding, dubbed up remix of Nina Simone's "Strange Fruit" - check out Glasgow-based producer INERTIA's Soundcloud, this track has already had over 1,000 listens and nearly 300 downloads, one to watch: http://soundcloud.com/inertia_soundcloud ***

The Red Room // 02.03.11

For this week's episode of The Red Room, we decided that, after more than a month's worth of special guests, we should go back to the basics; good old raw, unfiltered, Red Room Radio.

We discussed, as usual, movies, including the works of Jean-Luc Godard (Alphaville), Fritz Lang (M), Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition), Chan-Wook Park (Oldboy) and more, as well as launching an attack on the abomination that is 3-D movies.

We also discussed/reviewed the recent and utterly tremendous Mondo Morricone night at the Arches, The Red Room's own A Night of Experimental Film at 13th Note, as well as a gig by theapplesofenergy at Mono Café Bar. We also veered off topic several times, discussing things such as our first forays into the world of smartphones, hanging out with Yoshimi P-We for a day (we wish), and the decline of society due to its growing obsession with technology and the internet. The very internet you are reading this on now.

Enjoy!

worst chips ever

Worst Chips Ever // The Portal To The Counterulture

“Punk was the portal to the counterculture. That’s where I belong. That’s where I live. That’s how I got there”. Ian Mackaye is right. He's always fucking right of course, inspirationally, magnetically right. So unutterably correct that I often like to think, just by way of atheistic bet hedging, “What would Mackaye do?” before I ignore Mackaye and do something totally unethical.

Ian Mackaye's bands changed my life. More specifically, the record label that Ian Mackaye founded changed my life. Even more specifically, hardcore, the subcultural ferment that gave rise to all those things, changed my life. If you are currently between the ages of 13 and 19, you are not a teenager, at least not in the sense that I ever understood the term. Instant access to all knowledge ever, free music and socially networked micro-scenes are just yummy, I know. But it's all just there, innit? The postmodern freeplay of signs and meanings, the subversion of the mainstream Mojo humping rock canon with outsider modes, that shit is basically spoon fed to you moptop kiddos these days. Have you seen Altered Zones? Fuck me.

25 year old pensioners like me remember what it was like before all that blah. Mine is the last generation to remember what life was like both before and after the internet. I wasn't a precocious kid but people thought I was. I was just lucky to have a Dad who had a seriously killer record collection. When I asked him if he had been a Mod or a Rocker during the 60's he simply looked at me, all cockeyed and funny like, and said: “Nah son. I was a freak”. Being a freak meant Beefheart and Bunuel and John Fahey and Can. When punk happened he was all over it like a recently divorced woman is Tina Turners later work. Loved it. Real kick up the arse he said.

But Dad carried the scars of the mid twentieth century idealist. Thatchero/Blairism was an abomination that tired him out and now and again he would come over all defeatist. When I told him about this band I had just read about in the NME (uh huh) called Fugazi who refused to sell their records in shops that stocked them for extortionate prices, who only played benefit shows for worthy causes in and around their hometown, who used the same amps and guitars that they had when they were 15, who released everything one hundred percent independently on their own label which they ran themselves, who barely broke even and ploughed all their money back into the collective, who booked tours all by themselves with no promotion, who refused to be put on the front cover of any magazine under corporate ownership, who refused to be interviewed in any other publication alongside adverts for tobacco and alcohol... he just stared at me, blankly. “But all bands sell out in the end.”

Except, of course some bands don’t. Ever. Because you don’t need to. It might well be now easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism, but it doesn’t fucking have to be. I had discovered hardcore. D.I.Y. It didn’t stop me from doing all sorts of ridiculous shit during my teens, questionable, to say the very least, predilections in other areas of musical interest most amusingly. But this is the stuff that still moves me the most from those years, the stuff that opened up another world. Every subsequent musical, personal and political life-changer since I discovered these records has been coloured by them. Free jazz, drone, noise, psyche, dub, avant garde composition, rave... my love of all these things and the reason I play them on my show in all their strident, underground, I'll-opt-out-thanks-very- much glory, is because hardcore led me to them.

- Daniel Baker (Worst Chips Ever)

Sweet Sixteen // 01.03.11

Jackie Your Body // Butt Weans

McDonalds has given us a lot, the double cheese burger, the big tasty and wack hybrids like the mc gangbang, but what its really done is insure white girls aren’t lacking in their booty game. These high fat products have irreversibly changed the Caucasian women’s form - everybody can get back and everyone loves booty, especially Sophie Reilly who presents Jackie Your Body.

When she was 16 she unashamedly loved R&B, didn’t wear Ugg boots, or baggy pajamas outside her house, didn’t shop at Holister, let her palls get changed round her place because their mothers wouldn’t let them wear Interlock Mini Skirts - didn’t judge. A beacon of testicle-shattering awesomeness.

What makes girls like this such teenage wankfest epiphanies isn’t all their swag, but that they might just surprise you with the Aidan Moffat album Songs About Love, because girls like that...they get it! If your a 16 year-old boy and want to find a girl like this: stop masturbating, get a fake ID and start going to clubs and bring some big game, because girls like this are awesome. They might even put Can on a mixtape too.

Datarape // Chez Nous

Older dudes could get bitter, having to endure the barrage of friend requests from school friends who have squirted weans out, having to block them all, then looking at their stupid bodies reject some of their head hair, but you know...some of these guys didn’t turn into their parents immediately after high school, they don’t have to go on summer holidays with the girl they started dating in school, they have more money than you and hey life is still awesome at 24...amiright?

Back when they were young, French house was fucking huge. In the late 90s, the golden Roulé album covers guaranteed some slick soulful house music that although sounded more sophisticated than the Dance Mania records it took something from, it didn’t loose any of its dance floor muscularity. Daft Punk made next level pop music and next level videos, the Daft Punk Essential Selection ‘99 still sounds pretty fresh, taking in more rhythms than their Chicago House heavy Essential Mix ‘97. They lead the way, but their were plenty of others out in France creating some machine funk house music topping charts while HMV was still open.

vp learning & development

They're Only Records Paul // 03.03.11

VP Learning & Development is a role that carries a range of positions; bridging both the sobriety of following the University’s academic policy as well as the less sober mess of Freshers Week. The in coming VP will be thrust into the dizzying hectic world of organising the ‘best week of your life’, before midway through September being dragged back to their desk for a year of reading policies and sitting on committees.

Issues including fees, advisers of studies, class reps, exam timetables and a range of other bits and pieces that play a part of Glasgow student life are all under the remit of VP Learning & Development, so there should be lots to get our teeth stuck into.

Running for the position this year is Razvan Balaban, Cormac Beagan, James Harrison, Kenneth Law, Neal Robb and Marc Smith. The episode also features insights from current VP Learning & Development Tuula Erikkson.

Live From Las Vegas // 23.02.11

Here's an idea for a movie: Scarlette Johansen is this plumber and she's fixing a leaky pipe when suddenly the pipe turns into a dragon and she flies on it's back to a fantasy world that's a cross between Narnia and Ashton lane, there she meets a king who's played by Patrick Stewart but the twist is everyone is played by Patrick Stewart, even the dragon. The dragon seduces her at one point to get pumbing information, it's like inception or something. And then she wakes up and thinks it was just a dream but then she finds out she had a dragon VD. That's the twist. Morgan Freeman can play god.

Live From Las Vegas // 02.02.11

It was a curious case indeed. It happened in February while the winter winds still shocked my cock in his hutch at night. The victim was found with in the early hours of the morning and was thought to have been killed the night before. The unusual thing about this case was where the gentleman's head should be; in its place was a house. "But who could have dropped the house on his head?" I asked Homes. Homes replied, "That is elementary my dear Watson. This was a new walking house ala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvxIB83Y0PA." He continued, "It must have chased him down and sat on his face". I quickly responded by saying "Sat on his face? Are you suggesting a sexual connection?” To which Homes gently nodded his head and smiled for it was the question he had been waiting to hear for years. We kissed then made furious love to one another in our...HOME.

its grime time - the newest from the scene

Gutter Riddim // 06.03.11

The past few weeks have been very productive in the grime scene with new mixtapes, singles and free downloads coming out left right and centre. On this weeks show I'll be playing through as many of the most recent tracks as I have time to.

Iv got brand new material to play from MC's like Rival, Wiley, Footsie, Rinse, Trim, Jammer and Japanese MC Dekishi! Aswell as new beats from producers such as Scratcha DVA, Rude Kid, Rustie & Hudson Mohawke.

I also plan on playing a selection of tracks from The Street's recent collaboratory grime mixtape 'Cyberspace & Reds', the new Butterz Zip and from the 'Burrrtish Edition' of Gucci Mane's Free Gucci II which features tracks with Wiley, Dream Mclean, Tinchy Stryder and remixes from Toddla T, The Blessings & Swerve.

Most of the music featured in this episode was recorded at the Soul Cellar which is in the basement of The Liquid Ship in Great Western Road and meets on the first Saturday of the month. It's run by Stephen Scanlon and Trevor Bond who play quite a bit of up tempo soul and funk which distinguishes them from other soul clubs in Glasgow. I will be playing selections from their sets on Saturday March 19th on the Funky Cuts when i hope to have them in as guests. As a teaser for that show the last two tunes on this programme feature two of Stephen's soul selection.

The rest of the music in this show is taken from my first set.

The very first ever ever ever Daily Dischord radio show promises to be a killer show packed full of killer tunes and killer chat (hopefully!)

This week, we'll bring you some news about what's going down in the world of music (festivals mainly), some two word reviews of new and upcoming releases, and a bit of blether about Apple's brand new, money stealing "HD Music" service. It will, no doubt, feel the wrath of Thor.

Taking the theme of this weeks Monday Mixtape and running with it, we're going to chuck out a couple of tracks with exclamation marks in the title. Feel the rock.

Also, because it's Subcity radio's sixteenth birthday, we'll be playing a couple of tunes that we loved when we were sixteen.

After the barren monologues of the last shows, you've been gifted with two guests, in the shape of Ross Mathers - Election Candidate for Media and Communications - and Neal Robb - Election Candidate for Learning and Development.

Prepare for a light hearted grilling of their policies with some top notch folk rock to boot. Horrific, beautiful, squelchy, itchy, awkward, sexy are just some of the emotions stirred up during the broadcast.

Discussions include Goldfish, Gaddafi, Mumsnet, Marvin Gaye, Smear Campaigns, Jeremy Hunt - Cultural Secretary, Dr Deidre, Subcity, Stockings, GUM magazine - new issue released today! and buskers. Not to be missed.

Elections are on Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th. Kisses.

guest - markus suckut (stroboscopic / figure spc)

Animal Farm // 01.03.11

Up and coming German producer MARKUS SUCKUT delivers this weeks guest mix.

http://soundcloud.com/markussuckut

Markus’ own musical history began in 1999, at the brink of the new millennium an interest in electronic music was awakened in the young, Germany-based Markus. At the time it was less about committing to one musical direction, than about the excitement of DJing and testing sonic limits. Carried along by the excitement of these inital impressions Markus began to teach himself to mix and within a few short years his first productions followed.

It’s hard to categorise someone who himself detests thinking about music in narrow-minded categories and who takes influence from many different styles of music. His own productions are best described plainly and simply with the word techno, techno which often and willingly becomes dub. His sets are wide reaching, and even if they have a common basis it’s difficult to describe what exactly they have in common. Perhaps it is soul, a bit of dreaminess and a tendency towards melancholy that best characterise Markus and his music.

Good things take time. A good story can’t be told in passing; accordingly Markus Suckut can be seen as one of the most vocal opponents of short sets, and of a club culture where the next DJ jostles impatiently in the booth waiting impatiently for the start of their own set. To play in his own style, leading the crowd and casting a spell over it, delighting listeners with records selections that go beyond the remit of any kind of DJ charts, this is his world. And in the company of someone who loves to listen to elaborate stories, who detects subtlety while simultaneously appreciating current trends, the listener is in very good hands with both his productions and his sets.

benny boom // charmicarmicat

Sweet Sixteen // 25.02.11

Benny Boom // Who Da Best?

Now running his own collective of DJs and artists, including Point to C, Ruckus Roboticus and S-Type, Benny Boom’s involvement with Subcity goes way back to his teens, now a married, mortgaged adult, he plays in South Africa (and other places where he needs factor 50) and facilitates a lot of winching and grinding for soo many teens on a Thursday night at the Art School.

Since becoming a resident at Subcity’s Hetherington Club Parties back in 2007-08, Ben has been a staple at our parties, returning this year for Who Da Best? This mix is a recording of his set from that night.

Charmicarmicat // Confessions of a Teenage Gabber Fiend

This is a mix of some very filthy club music. Coming out of the Dutch hard house scene, the high tempo, distorted bass drums of Gabber is just the kind of intense music that would scare the dicks off any fey indie brat trying to make it with the goths. This selection is bought to you by Vickie McDonald who “fucking loved gabber at 16!", now playing guitar in Divorce (with releases on Optimo Music, Merok, Milk and Winning Sperm Party) and DJing as part of Wavy Graves, "nowts changed since then....". Her show Charmicarmicat is where to go for sludged out, atonal dissonance and harrowing vociferation.

our guest

Footsteps // 05.03.11

We are happy to announce that our very first guest is going to be Dr Greg Philo, who is a lecturer at the University of Glasgow as well as the head of G.U. Media group. Greg went to Cuba a decade ago and spent his time talking to people from various social backgrounds, gaining a rather unique experience.

We will try to catch a glimpse of Cuba by looking at Greg's visit there and we can promise a lively and humorous discussion.

the national radio of glasgow

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 25.02.11

Although Vile claimed that he no longer needed a producer following Harry's absence during the live set by RM Hubbert last week, Parlane forcibly reclaims his space in the far corner, ensuring that there are less moments of long silence and the occasional appropriate link between songs.

The show is getting packed now that the performance season is hotting up: New Territories is arriving, and Jack Webb talks about his entry. A plethora of gigs showcasing loads of bands caused Vile to get hot under the collar about the Glasgow scene, and to fill in a gap in his memory, he waxes lyrical about the Glasgow scene.

Synth // 23.02.11

The biggest show to date? Quite possibly. We had PMcQ roll through with a Tea Time Rave Off to make 2 Many DJ's shit themselves. Packing in twenty songs in ten minutes and mixed on four decks it included everything from bouncy house to slamming electro as well as some well overlooked 90's nonsense from INXS. You can download the mix for free from PMcQ's Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/pmcq

Further to that we had local heat from Megamegaman, Raksha & Monopunk as well as worldwide tunage from Dillon Francis, Seiji and Skepta. ESQ, Bodymilk & Koreless also battled it out for our Local Hero award with three inexplicably incredible tunes. Get a-listening and remember to catch us at Subcity's Sixteenth birthday on March 5th.

noel edmonds vs orbital vs the orb(s) in the mix

Worst Chips Ever // 25.02.11

WORST CHIPS EVER PRESENTS THE FIRST ANNUAL NOEL EDMONDS HEAVY COSMIC ORDERING JAM SESSION.

(This shit is gonna be MASSIVE in the untapped celestial lifestream)

Noel Edmonds believes that the souls of his dead parents follow him everywhere in the form of two orbs, he has revealed.

The TV presenter claims they are a constant presence by his side and often sit on his shoulders as bouncing balls of light.

The 59-year-old is a follower of the New Age theory of Cosmic Ordering, which involves writing a wish-list and asking the planets to carry it out.

TV presenter Noel Edmonds revealed in a television interview that his deceased parents are 'little bundles of energy about the size of melons' that follow him

Edmonds said: 'Orbs are little bundles of positive energy and they

think they can move between 500 and 1,000 miles per hour.

'They look like little round planets but they come in all shapes and sizes. Conventional photography can't pick them up but digital cameras can.

'My belief is that these are something to do with some form of positive energy I like to think they are my parents.

'I've got loads of photographs of me at home with two orbs that visit me.

'The two that I have are about the size of melons. One sits on my arm and the other is usually in the back of the shot, sitting just over my right shoulder.'

Edmonds's girlfriend Liz Davies, 37, introduced him to Cosmic Ordering after they met two years ago when she worked as a make-up artist on his Channel 4 series Deal or No Deal.

Edmonds's 18-year marriage to second wife Helen Soby - mother of his four daughters - had ended three years earlier.

He claimed he was not an ' evangelist' for his orb theory but admitted: 'I don't pour scorn on any idea either. It's the same with the Cosmic Ordering.

'I've got a few nice little orders in at the moment. I've got one in for a friend who would like to meet the man of her dreams. And another for a couple who had some difficult financial issues recently. I'm confident they will come true.'

Sweet Sixteen // 24.02.11

Build + Destroy // Sony Walkmen

Build and Destroy is a show run by a couple of librarians - well Andrew is a IT Tech at the GSA Library, a different kind of nerd I guess. Since 2004 these squares have been curating a show of electronic jams with recent guests like Point to C and Khee Siong Tian, or some Suburban Base old skool rave show. This mix is what Andrew was bumping on his Sony Walkman back when he was 16.

Its a Trap! // Can't Stop Jerkin'

Presumably spent his teenage years being an Internet tough guy on 4Chan fapping over the latest time stamped tits, ripping new fags cause they can’t triforce and hazzing cheezeburgers. But now he has a Tumblr and makes some sick weekly mixtapes of super-lo-fi digi-bass crunk...y'know before "crunk" became synonymous with American frat dudes bro-ing out to 3OH!3

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 24.02.11

"The last refuge of unimaginative b-sides" or "Absolute gold and how the track should've sounded in the first place". Two phrases you often hear relating to remixes...

We've chosen tracks that are guaranteed to fall within the remit of the second, so listen in and catch remixes that actually deserve an airing as tunes unto themselves. Lurching from static soaked dub-outs through to metal-infused gabba, we'll be making you all as wet as an otter with this offering.

ennio morricone

The Red Room // 23.02.11

In a special three hour episode, we pay tribute to the Maestro himself; the Italian octogenarian and composer of over 500 scores including everything from brutal Westerns to tender love stories; Ennio Morricone.

Joining us live in studio to discuss the Maestro as well as his Mondo Morricone night at the Arches (Sat 26th Feb) in celebration and tribute of the composer was Duglas T Stewart of the BMX Bandits. We all discussed times we saw Morricone live, our all-time favourite Morricone scores (incidentally, they all turned out to be the same one), as well as our favourite Morricone-influenced bands.

Molto Mondo Morricone!

business as usual

They Took Our Jobs!!!

Due to holiday/uni/job trouble (too many jobs to be taken at the same time) we have skipped a couple of episodes (with our hearts bleeding and heads aching of course). But the worst is over (including the most recent episode) and we're back with you and planning on making up for the lack of musical input. So in the next few episodes (from 28th of February) you can expect us to deliver some more "city-tunes". We shall start with wonderful soundscapes of Poznań in order to move back to the real gem of the Baltic seaside - Szczecin. Well, have fun and stay with us on every Monday night between 9PM and 10PM.

jackie, it's a trap!

Jackie your Body // 23.02.11

This episode of Jackie your Body will be featuring a mixtape from It's a Trap! The mix features mainly white label Bounce from artists Big Freedia and DJ Jubilee. Bounce music is a pretty frenetic style of hip hop music hailing from New Orelans which is said to have originated as early as the late 1980s. It mainly features "Call and Response" style chant which usually is shouted over the 'triggerman' beat which is fairly typical to Bounce music. Like Juke, Miami bass, Baltimore and booty music, bounce is a highly regional form of urban dance music. Nevertheless, bounce has influenced a variety of other rap subgenres and even emerged in the mainstream with artists such as Lil Jon and so on. Shaun fae Solar will be playing some Jackin House and Hip House from the late 80's from artists such as Todd Terry and Jungle Brothers. Josh Wavy Graves will also be playing out a sweet DJ Slugo mini-mix.

19 - dub inna modern style

Chungo-Bungo // 23.02.11

When someone mentions the word dub, our minds always seem to focus on guys like King Tubby & Lee "Scratch" Perry, working away making dub versions in studio's like the Black Ark in the late 60's/early 70's. People tend to forget that theres a fresh dub coming out on a weekly basis, and not just from Jamaica, but all over the world.

So this week we are focusing on dub from the mid 90's onwards, with appearances from artists like Ratman, Disrupt, Dub Gecko, Rob Smith, Henry & Louis and many many more.

Think spaced out.

Wavy Graves // 21.02.11

On the north coast of Colombia, amongst the African and Latin rhythms of the Caribbean is Cartanga, home to Disco Fuentes, the first and longest running record label in Colombia. Since 1934, the label has been popularising the distribution of cumbia, but this is only a small part of cumbia’s story and they’re not the only ones to have championed its sound.

JD Twitch’s obsession with the percussive music of Colombia started with the “really bad Latin records” his parents brought back with them from Argentina - “I listened to them as a child, there was something about their rhythms that attracted me”. After hearing a tape a friend sent him from a club in Argentina, where 2000 kids were dancing to old and new types of cumbia, Twitch was hooked on the sound and started digging. Picking up records in Brazil, searching discogs, going beyond the remastered compilations of Soundway Records.

“Cumbia was considered trash by the intelligentsia and the hipsters of the time...a lot of [cumbia] sounds like bad wedding music, but a lot of it is very strange, hypnotic, psychedelic, danceable music”. Now this raw danceable folk music has undergone the Twitch rework treatment on his new EP: Cumbia. His production keeps some of the bold instrumentation of the original rarities, but alters their structure and reimagines them a little faster and lower.

The selection of records on this episode are cumbia both old and new, from the sixties to mid seventies boom to the hybrid clashes like cumbia-step (available from Argentine label ZZK or Cabeza!), plus an exclusive track from a release due later in the year from Twitch.

Special guest this week in the studio, Soma rising star HARVEY MCKAY.

Since releasing his debut album on Soma a couple of years back, Harvey's profile has sky rocketed with gigs flowing in at home and abroad with his more recent releases being backed by some of the bigget names in the techno world. Harvey's tracks bring a power and groove that only he can deleiver. Staying true to his passion of tough, driving techno, his versatility as a dj allows him to bring out his deeper side, often delving into deep & tech house.

A good friend of ours here on the Farm we look forward to having him on for a chat and see what the future holds for the (not so young) Harvey ;)

Listen in as we take one step closer to the fortune promised to us by a mysterious email from Hong Kong and marvel at Callum's understanding of the human condition as he helps another youngster with an embarassing problem. We also find out that Callum has an embarassing problem himself - his past. So join Kevin and Michael in their discussion of Callum's school life as "Safety Man".

Earthly Matters // 18.02.11

This is the first broadcasted show in two, long, arduous weeks since being stuck in the void. One of the reasons involved me seeing, jumping, dancing and moshing like a crazed lunatic with a motorcycle helmet on, whilst listening to the sounds of the mighty Japanther last week.

~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~ ~~~~~~∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆~~~~~~

There is no particular theme this week, instead it sees me going back to my roots, or the reason why I’m doing this radio show in the first place, by playing a collection of some of my favorite and most exciting tracks that are on regular rotation in beyond my ear drums and into my neurotic mind from throughout the past year or so from some of the finest beatmakers and well rounded contemporary musicians.

So in the word of the The Great One, The Rock, expect to hear some of the most electrifying, glooped up, bleepy beats, the world has to offer. Loosen up, expand your muscles and mind, relax, CHILLAX, and absorb some fine compositions from Dimlite, MONO/POLY, Actress, Ruckazoid, De De Mouse, Nosaj Thing, Becoming Real and Lunice.

Oh and by the way, speaking of The Rock. Thurrrrs a bucket full of samples from the WWF(E)’s Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. It involves some interesting observations on a miscellaneous variety of Thanksgiving pies, The Undertaker’s abhorrent tattoos, and a workout regime which requires the emphatic use of squats, squats, SQUATS. So if you don’t listen expect either one of them to layeth the smacketh down on your candy bottom.

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 18.02.11

As the playlist is slowly entered into the schedule, Producer Harry Parlane has made good his escape to Stirling: it is rumoured that the possibility of Danish Dance at the Macrobert was more attractive than spending two hours in the studio with sweaty Vile.

Fortunately, many of Glasgow's artists are less aware of the Vile danger, and Andy Arnold, the team from A Scheme and RM Hubbert have all agreed to join the roving critic.

The usual arrogance of Vile's presentation style is softened by the charming presence of Fielding from Cry Parrot, who makes a few more of those all important Glasgow connections, including the inspiration for RM Hubbert's "play for food" approach. When Hubbert arrives with his guitar, Vile almost has to be dragged from the studio with delight, as the three songs he then plays are live on the spot.

Worst Chips Ever // 18.02.11

"Reed was famous for his excessive drinking, which fitted in with the "social" attitude of many rugby teams in the 1960s and 1970s, and there are numerous anecdotes such as Reed and 36 friends drinking in an evening, 60 gallons of beer, 32 bottles of Scotch, 17 bottles of gin, four crates of wine, and one bottle of Babycham. He subsequently revised the story, claiming he drank 106 pints of beer on a two-day binge before marrying Josephine; "The event that was reported actually took place during an arm-wrestling competition in Guernsey about 15 years ago, it was highly exaggerated." Steve McQueen told the story that in 1973 he flew to the UK to discuss a film project with Reed and suggested the pair go to a nightclub in London. They ended up on a marathon pub crawl during which Reed vomited on McQueen. Reed's face had been scarred 10 years previously during a 1963 bar fight after which he received 63 stitches and was in danger of having his film career terminated in his 20s.

Reed was often irritated that his appearances on TV chat shows concentrated on his drinking feats rather than his latest film. David Letterman cut to a commercial when it appeared Reed might get violent after being asked too many questions about his drinking. In September 1975, in front of a speechless Johnny Carson, Reed famously had a glass of whiskey poured over his head on-camera by an enraged Shelley Winters on The Tonight Show (Winters had been upset by Reed's seemingly derogatory comments toward women). He was held partly responsible for the demise of BBC1's Sin on Saturday after some typically forthright comments on the subject of lust, the sin featured on the first programme. The show had many other problems and a fellow guest revealed that Reed recognised this when he arrived and virtually had to be dragged in front of the cameras. Near the end of his life, he was brought onto some TV shows specifically for his drinking; for example The Word put bottles of liquor in his dressing room so he could be secretly filmed getting drunk. He was forced to leave the set of the Channel 4 television discussion programme After Dark after arriving drunk and attempting to kiss feminist writer Kate Millett, uttering the memorable phrase, "Give us a kiss, big tits." He was seemingly very drunk on the Michael Aspel chat show, to many highly entertaining, to others a waste of a great acting talent. However, author Cliff Goodwin, in his biography of Reed titled Evil Spirits, offers the theory that Reed was not always as drunk on chat shows as he appeared to be, but rather was acting the part of an uncontrollably sodden former star to liven things up, at the producers' behests.

In December 1987, Reed became seriously ill with kidney problems as a result of his alcoholism and had to abstain from drinking for a year.

In later years, Reed could often be seen quietly drinking with his wife, Josephine Burge, at the bar of the White Horse Hotel in the High Street in Dorking, Surrey, not far from his home in Oakwoodhill. When working in London, he was often found at The Duke of Hamilton pub in Hampstead, an area and pub he often frequented earlier in his career with Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton."

The above has nothing whatsoever to do with tonight's show, but why waste time reading some cack spurts from my brainhole when you could be filling it with trivia like THAT???

No theme tonight, I'll probably just play back to back Limp Bizkit.

Gutter Riddim // 20.02.11

This week myself, Philly Bluntz & Skola will be giving you a lesson in Scottish Grime.

I'll be on the decks spinning records from the early begginings while Philly Bluntz & Skola spray their bars on the mic. Without giving too much away I'll be starting the mix off with some early Slew Dem & Ruff Sqwad instrumentals, throwing in some UKG sensations and then rolling through into some classics from the South Side, Dice and Pirate Sessions labels.

Skola & Philly also have a hard selection of Glasgow Grime tracks ranging from early 2007 to present day Gutter Riddim exclusives that we'll be getting through at the start of the show.

This ones for the memories...

ICE-BREAKER: WORK WITH SOMEONE ELSE TO WRITE A DAMN FINE TUNE

Everyone hates ice-breakers eh? Awful things designed to not break down barriers but rather torture the souls of those nihilists that walk amongst us. Luckily, the acts we'll be picking tonight aren't as overtly sociopathic as we are and have spouted forth some bloody excellent music for us to spin so tune in or listen again as we rattle through our choices of the best collaborations out there. No doubt there'll be some KoRn ft. Vanilla Ice action going down.

We’re delighted to welcome our friend Caroline to guest DJ – she used to mash up the dancefloor at Unity Reggae when we were just setting out down the soundsystem road, and if you haven’t heard her tunes we recommend you catch her show on Radio Kilimanjaro (www.radiokilimanjaro.org.uk) on Friday nights 9-10pm.

playground tactics

The Red Room // 16.02.11

In this episode we were joined by no less than three members of notorious Glasgow post-folksters The Seventeenth Century; Nicholas Grant, Mark Farmer, and Ryan Burns. Together, we discussed a performance (viewed earlier that night) by experimental acoustic guitarist Cheer at Mono Café Bar, our varied collections of literature and VHS tapes (including such classics as On the Road and The Great Mouse Detective), and what we all got up to on Valentine's Day.

We also haphazardly engaged the band in a spontaenous and somewhat informative interview, discovering such things as their composition process, their collective influences, and just what kind of mood their debut EP inspires in its listeners. Both Nicholas and Mark contributed several tracks to the show, and we look forward to having them back.

On top of that, he talks to himself about the up adn comign SRC elections and the National Folk Rock Awards. Some good music and standard patter.

kaleidoscope // 16.02.11

Ok, its decided. This Wednesday we're going to explore one of the most popular song subjects, thats right - l.o.v.e. Now before you haters start whining about it, I refuse to go down a mushy path. Im talking songs that make you're heart pang whether its about the good stuff when you are as high as a kite, or when it goes sour and you wish that you were a 1000 miles away from pain. It seems no matter what genre or era it's always there, from Bob Marley to LCD Soundsystem tune in to hear a Kaleidoscopic love mix and whether we'll still have rose tinted glasses on by the end of it.

episode 4: love hurts

The Hammy & Jenko Show // 15.02.11

This week we talk much more pish than usual - whether that's to the detriment to the already questionable worth of this show is something we'll leave you to judge.

Right off the back of Valentines Day, we generally talk about relationships and all that, but as you can expect, the conversation leads to talk of toilet pans, pricks working for T-Mobile and the male strippers who come into the studio.

18 - introducing... greensleeves

Chungo-Bungo // 16.02.11

This week we take an hour to give you a full introduction to one of the most influential record labels in reggae and dancehall music, Greensleeves.

Over the years Greensleeves releases have paved the way for reggae and dancehall's development into the music we hear today, having released tracks like Under Me Sleng Teng in '85 all the way up to the present day with huge signings such as Gappy Ranks & Alborosie.

If you don't know alot about reggae or Greensleeves as a label, you will after this show.

oxfam gold

One More Tune // 15.02.11

Well I needed a cheesy-old-vinyl fix so got myself to Oxfam early this morning. What did I find? Well, cheesy 90s house, r&b, hip-hop and some scratchy funk/soul which i'll leave til another time. Some admitted shockers in this set but the rule was Oxfam Music only. No bad for an hour / £17 investment. And beware! Some of these will return in clubs near you soon(ish).

Support your local 2nd hand charity shop, not just because it'll make you feel morally mighty (fuck dat) but because, if you look hard enough, THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR CRATES.

music = hope

cheers to Ben Hackman who was a total leg end at saturday's party - we'll invite you back very soon, pal.

raresh

The Tech House // 10.02.11

Following his move to Bucharest, in 2003, Raresh faced the Romanian capital's night life. His talent as a DJ shone through and successfully distinguished him from the other young Romanian DJs operating at the time and he was invited to play at the Black Sea beach parties in the summer of 2004. Shortly afterwards Raresh joined the Sunrise Booking Agency and in 2005 he had the opportunity to play warm-up for the artists he admired. Securing a full summer residency for all the Sunrise events at the Black Sea Coast, he shared the stage with the likes of Richie Hawtin, Magda, Steve Bug, Josh Wink, Pascal FEOS, Troy Pierce, Marc Houle, Pier Bucci and Tobi Neumann. The developement of his work continued with the opening of the Luciano & Thomas Melchior event in Bucharest. Next step was the invitation to mix in East Club in Frankfurt on Christmas Day of 2005, where Raresh played together with Toni Rios, Chris Wood and Frank Lorber.

Back home, the young DJ became part of one of the most important moments in the Romanian clubbing scene, with The Sound Of The Sixth Season World Tour 2006, where he played back to back with Chris Tietjen the warm-up for german techno legend Sven Väth. By March 2006 Raresh was warming up for Ricardo Villalobos, who claimed to be impressed by his style of mixing, leading to them playing back to back at the after-party that followed the event in Bucharest.

Raresh has developed a unique and special style, combining minimal, tech-house with house in a warm and powerful way. One of Raresh's strong beliefs is that a DJ is not a complete artist until he becomes a producer, and that there is always something more to learn and practice in music. Together with his friends Rhadoo and Pedro he founded in 2007 the romanian electronic music label called [a:rpia:r]. Their debut vinyl contains also Raresh first production called "Dry Tool".

Initial Itch // 14.02.11

Dear listener. When we first took to the airwaves, in the heady days of 2008ish, we knew that together we could create the most beautiful arts and culture digest Glasgow had ever heard. As the years have passed, the show has changed, but our devotion to bringing you the most revealing interviews, startling reports, and moving art, has grown ever stronger. Listener, we sometimes don't say it enough... thank you for listening to Initial Itch Radio on Subcity.org

This week Andy Arnold, founder of the Arches and artistic director of the Tron Theatre, is in the studio to talk about his own play Staircase, as well as some of the other work coming up at the Tron, The Belief Project included.

We'll also hear from Jo Shaw, one of the many voices making themselves heard at the new Free Hetherington.

And finally, we hear from Marianne Maxwell of the National Theatre of Scotland, and Sarah Munro, Rosemary James and Sam Harrison of the Tramway, who are all looking to the future after a win at the GaGa Awards.

blue valentine

Left Of The Dial // 13.02.11

This week: Valentine's Day - load o' pish, right? Tacky, cynical, overpriced, existing only to cause tension between couples and make singles feel sorry for themselves. But enough about us (http://instantrimshot.com). Since you'd expect nothing more cheerful from an LOTD Valentine show, this week we're going to chart the demise of a conceptual relationship song by ever-more-depressing song, from the initial ask-me-out euphoria of The Marvelettes through the bleaker-than-bleak bathroom-based break-up of Arab Strap and eventually the wearily acceptant 'here's looking at you, kid' of Beirut. Also, since Pixies have the #1 Record for the week, there'll probably be whores somewhere in there too. Yup. Whole lotta whores.

The Beat Route

After a seriously long time off The Beat Route is back. Without Stroudy, who is in Wales, the poor bastard. Since I've been left on my own I've changed the slot to a more manageable fortnightly slot. It's also during the day to make sure that I stay sober. This fortnights show contains the finest in funky breaks and hip-hop, all scratched and mixed by the fastest set of hands this side of Baltimore. Get yo face down and yo ass up...

Bless Riddims // 13.02.11

Here at Bless Riddims, ideas were running through the mind on how to celebrate that romantic of days, the 14th February, Valentines Day. Then the light bulb clicked, only the great Curtis could possibly get across how we all feel about Valetines! So against medical advice, and to tuttings from his pastor, Curtis will be playing host to Jungle, Grime and Bassline to get the message across...WE DON'T LIKE VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Alla da shottas keep it locked!

21: cheesy owes luke an iphone

Disco Disco // 13.02.11

It has came to light recently that Disco Disco's very own Cheesy has got himself into a slight pickle. It appears that Cheesy has promised friend of Disco Disco Luke Winter (VP Comms) a refurbished iPhone in return for his hard earned cash. That cash was handed over in May 2010 (9 months ago) yet the phone has not appeared. Word has it that it's been sitting in Cheesy's house all along. We'll be quizzing Cheesy over this situation in an attempt to get some more publicity for Luke's cause. Help Luke out by taking part in his Facebook sweepstake: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=150685244989855

In other news, Disco Disco will be having another one of their legendary nights out to Sound at Club 520 on Friday 18th February, which you should come to.

Love is in the air, and the boys at the All Day Cheeky breakfast can feel it too, even if they are horribly lonely. Tune in for the usual blend of cheeky tunes and chat - we find out what's on, what's up with Lisa Varty, Callum recieves some very cheeky birthday gifts, the boys play defend the indefensible (with a shock result), a reading from Diana's biography (taken too soon...) and loads more besides...

We also have great music from David Bowie, Sam and Dave, Hootie and the Blowfish, Hidden Gems by Frank Zappa, Aloe Blacc and, of course, a great track by the one and only Prince.

Get in contact with us by e-mail: alldaycheeky@gmail.com, or find us on facebook - just search "all day cheeky". Keep it cheeky, and tune in next week for more!

brain bonking japanese psyche grope.

Worst Chips Ever // 11.02.11

Come with me, my little chipolatas, on a journey to the other side of the world. That's right children, we are all off to JAPAN!!! Wherein we are all going to drop a shit ton of bonkers street drugs and freak out. Not like 'dem plastic hippy bores at Woodstock though. No siree. In Japan, see, they are SERIOUS about psychedelia.

So serious, in fact, that most Japanese musicians can get high off just looking at their guitars (probably).

This one is a proper indulgence on my part (as if sitting in a nutsack-clinging-to-inner-thigh sweatbox playing weird shit for an hour every Friday morning isnt egotistical enough). An hours worth of uninterrupted far eastern brain buggering cherry picked from my own personal stash. I've drawn together noise, sound art, improv and traditional selections in amongst all that psyche too, so y'all dont lose the plot and try and crawl up your own noses or summat.

Les Rallizes Denudes. Merzbow. Flower Travellin' Band. Up Tight. Shizuka. Speed Glue and Shinki. And Hijokaidan covering Hawkwind. Uh huh.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 10.02.11

A word in French which translated to our mother tongue can be intepreted as "evil", and there's a whole pile of Mal bouncing round our studio tonight.Tim "Poppa Pump" Malseed joins The Awkward Sons for a special show focussed entirely on the art of murder. All tracks tonight come stained from the bloody hands of someone and for once it's not just our fault. Tune in from 11pm to hear the definitive soundtrack to malicious afterthoughts played out by an Evil fucking 'seed.

Coming to you now without a hint of regret, on this week's show myself and a worthless collaboration of similar fleshbags will be discussing recent controversy over the origins of the Moon and why this is so difficult for vitriolic chat show hosts to understand, proof the Pope uses an iPhone to keep up to date on all your wanking-related sins, evidence of man's hubris for building stupid devices to mess with your mum's fanny and so much more.

She Said // 05.02.11

She's hardly what you would call an able replacement for Allan's dulcet tones but the She Said team eventually relented to Sandra's endless begging and offers of all things sordid. So tonight, she and Derek played some awesome tunes and got very silly indeed!!

no show tonight

Have you heard about the word // 10.02.11

We've let down Subcity, we've let down our listeners, but most of all we've let down ourselves. Unfortunately we can't make it in for tonight's show due to a combination of violent diarrhoea and a complete lack of preparation - so instead of rushing out to the toilet every 5mins while delivering questionable links we thought it better to give it a swerve and come back fresh as Big Daddy Kane next week.

Once again we apologise and suggest you check out some old episodes for the shits and giggles (no pun intended) x

don't judge an episode by its word

Have you heard about the word // 03.02.11

This week we thought about 'nothing'. But what the show may have lacked in planned connotative content, it more than made up for with music. Thanks to the assistance of DJ Sartre and his collection of vinyl, the lonely vacuum of nothingness was a fulfilling musical adventure.

The Red Room // 09.02.11

This week on The Red Room, we discussed the wonderful and perculiar student occupation of the formerly vacant Hetherington Research Club building in Glasgow University and its wonderfully welcoming and friendly participants (http://freehetherington.wordpress.com/), an innappropriate (in terms of audience) Malcolm Middleton gig at Mono Café Bar, and the culinary delight that is quinoa.

Subjects also discussed included the literature of Gilbert Adair (The Dreamers), Stieg Larsson (The Millenium Trilogy) and John Wyndham (Day of the Triffids), the films of Jean-Luc Godard (Bande à Part, Week End), Pier Paolo Pasolini (Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom), Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai), Giorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth) and a certain Hoboken-based band currently performing "sitcom theatre" of a certain Manhattan-based sitcom...

everyone's a winner

Initial Itch // 07.02.11

It's been a busy week for Flatrate.

Monday saw the relaunch of Initial itch Live at the 13th Note, and you can hear some of the performers on this week's show. We also found ourselves at this year's arts industry spectacular, the Culture Sparks GaGa Awards, and we managed to capture a little of the glitz and the glamour on tape. We're also gearing up for The Belief Project at the Tron, our very own theatrical endeavour. So in a strange turn of events, the interviewers become the interviewees this week, as the Skinny's Gareth K Vile grills Rob and Steve on the what for and why of The Belief Project.

Show regulars Katryn Turner and Megan Reid of Junction 25 also make an appearance on this week's show to tell us about From Where I'm Standing, which is being re-staged at the Tramway. Anyone who missed it the last time round, get a ticket. It'll be excellent.

Finally Liz Carruthers gives us all the goss on new comedy Just Checking, and the low down on everything from Taggart to divas, from stand-up to the Globe.

17 - reggae covers

Chungo-Bungo // 09.02.11

Yeah, thats right. This week we'll be sharing the best reggae covers we have to offer. Some old, some new and to be honest some cheesy as hell. Whether you're a fan of reggae music or just want a giggle, this is one to tune in to.

Expect to hear reggae versions of The Beatles, The Police, The Eagles, D12, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and hunners hunners hunners more.

Also, this week is the first week we'll be broadcasting live from our NEW TIME 1 hour earlier.

So if you listen live then please tune in at midnight. And if you listen again then this doesn't really bother you...

PEACE!

getting ready to rumble

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 11.02.11

Reports coming in from an unknown location suggest that Vile is already researching for the show's tenth anniversary - how else can the huge backlog of interviews be explained? He is promising an appearance from Zoe Van Goey, more tracks from their new album, alongside the final instalment of the interview with Rob Drummond and words from anyone else not fast enough to escape his roving mike. At the latest estimate, these include chats with his next door neighbour, members of every contemporary dance company on the West Coast and some toddlers using the Tramway.

Exclusive new tracks include a sample from Fur Hood - soon to be seen live at Mono - and a track from Alex Smoke's exciting new score for Faust, part of the Glasgow Film Festival, flying the flag for dynamic contemporary classical composition.

Meanwhile, Producer Harry and Vile are in a competition to see who can provide the most relevant tracks for the film festival. An interview with cast members of Junction 25, who are performing a farewell to their celebrated study of family relationships, another with rising songwriter Andrea Heins and a guest slot from the Not So Secret Society are all arranged, and Vile's psychiatrist has promised that his tendency to forget what he is talking about, or launch into post-modern analysis of Glasgow's performance scene, will be lessened by the new regime of drugs.

rain and drug run

kaleidoscope // 02.02.11

I take a break from delivering dosette boxes to drop by the studio amidst a mild hurricane descending on Glasgow to do the show as per usual. Blowin' in from the West I play new music from Fleet Foxes, Vivian Girls and Young Galaxy while locals Belle and Sebastian have the right idea of shelter with their latest single 'I want the World to Stop'. A psychedelic golden oldie howls in the driving rain as we retreat to the 'Garden of Earthly Delights' where there is sun, warmth along with James Blake, Lykke Li and a beautiful tribute to John Barry through Nancy Sinatra's 'You Only Live Twice'.

episode 20: a reunion of sorts

Disco Disco // 06.02.11

We haven't seen much of each other (except Tanner and Cheesy who are soon merging into one super person) over the past week so we'll be having a one hour on air catch up. The murdog will be looking for suggestions of what to do while he is sitting in a hotel room for a week for his new job (we'll elaborate on air) and talking about how he is missing the start of the Superbowl so he can do the show. As for the otehr lads, you'll need to wait and see, it's probably a lot more exciting than the Murdog anyway (as per usual).

Expect a pished Big Cunt (Old Firm was today) and yet more choise tunes to end your week. Get involved on the Facebook page as always, and if you mis the live show listen again anytime.

this week, our theme is death.

Worst Chips Ever // 04.02.11

Everyone keeps dying. It's getting me down.

Rolf Julius is dead. Trish Keenan is dead. Casco is dead. John Barry is dead.

More importantly, Neil Young, one of the most graceful players to ever pull on the sacred sky blue colours of my beloved Manchester City, is also dead.

All these passings are categorical proof that:

A) Nietzsche was right. God is fucking dead. B) There is no fucking God. But I reckon that was what Friedrich was probably getting at.

So... tonight I invite you to shuffle off your mortal coils and join me for an hour of musicking themed around one of lifes only certainties.

Death.

Featuring brain dreck sermons from 16 Bitch Pile Up, hopelessly optimistic street corner gospel, doomstep auteurship fro Shackleton, paranoid dub fantasy from Augustus Pablo, industrialized nightmare clatter from Lemon Kittens, Thai pop exotica based around the death of an entire city, French underground electronic garishness and loads of other stuff to slit yer wrists to.

show 12: exercising our autistic license

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 03.02.11

Aaaah. The digital age. It's brought us many delights - the electronic toothbrush, dildos and massage chairs to name but a (vibrating) few - but it's also taken the romance out of a lot of things (see above). No longer do you routinely pour over the inside sleeve of CDs and marvel at the artwork that has been designed to sit so beautifully alongside those sounds that are reverberating around inside your ear canals. There's a disconnection associated with people downloading MP3s and uploading artwork into Itunes or having your favourite album's cover set as desktop wallpaper... It's not really what album artwork was first for, is it? Tonight we're going to be spinning out some tunes that came packaged in some of the best fucking sleeves you can ever lay your eyes and hands upon. Not necessarily our favourite tunes from said albums, but that's not the point of tonights show...

Not solely about the music, rather a raucous celebration of an oft now overlooked facet that you consider when buying music - the whole package. Luckily, that's also Chris' nickname so it all ties together nicely.

Show's on tomorrow. Arse-cancer dogs, probably zombie mosquitoes I think, bomb smelling plants, other news too. There's music. Will you listen? I bet you will if I promise you a pint. You're such a user, you know that? That's why she left you. That's why you can't satisfy her. That's why she's having me every. single. night.

Loser.

kid robotik clinches the local hero award...

Synth // 02.02.11

SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC. We don't like to toot our own horn, but beep fucking beep. This week's episode of Synth on Subcity Radio featured some utterly incredible local heat from the likes of Dersonna, NoFACE, Quahaze and Dirty Basement, while Massive Music's latest signing Kid Robotik stole the Local Hero award from Simon Bryan and Kabur - both equally bangin' in their own right.

This week's Blog Burner came from J Kamata & 2000F for their new mix on Encore - a deep slice of dubwise soul which rumbles away like distant thunderstorm. Serious heat. Trust.

Other musical delights came from James Blake, Broke One, Cassius & Harvard Bass, so what you waitin' on fool? Get listenin!

the return of beat beneath and other news

Beat Beneath

After a few months off, Beat Beneath has sneaked back onto Subcity's virtual airwaves (cable waves just doesn't sound as cool...) for 2011 and there's been a couple of crackers so far. 26th January's episodes explores some deep, dubby and raw techno vibes while 2nd February brings a bit of funk with some mid-tempo house numbers.

Also, your fine host Simon Bryan is DJing at the biggest new night-spot in town, Sauchiehall Street's Club 520, on the 11th of February. It's a Friday night and the soundsystem is suitably heavy so do come down and check it out...

Deadbeat Club // 26.01.11

Anna and Rachael fail to guess this week's By Popular Drumand track, a story of misplaced kindness confirms nastiness is inherent in Izzy's character, and Morrissey is used to continue an argument that broke out a queue the week before. All that's left to say is some sort of blustery middle aged statement: 'standard!' / 'classic deadbeat club!!' / 'business as usual then!!!'

phil gatt meets vile to preview the next session

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 04.02.11

"Ever since my producer Harry taught me how to press the record button, I've been roaming Glasgow for interviews," Gareth K Vile boasts. Indeed, his over-excitement at waving microphones in people's faces has led to performers frequently hiding whenever he appears at the Tron, Tramway or CCA. Fortunately, some of the artists aren't fast enough. Harry is currently musing over eighteen hours of interviews, which Gareth reckons will fit in the show "as long as I don't get distracted by some obscure critical point and deliver one of my ever popular lectures. Take the difference between performance and representation..."

This week's victims include Kirsten Innes, LJ and Iain from The Arches discussing Sound Thought, and Donna Rutherford. Vile is even promising some exclusive new tracks from an exciting local band...

As it turns out, Vile's tour around Scotland - he was spotted in Edinburgh giving his opinions on performance violence as part of the Manipulate festival - led to one of the worst quality recordings in Subcity history. Harry's look of despair was hardly assuaged even by the appearance of a preview copy of the Zoey Van Goey album.

now wakes the sea

The Red Room // 02.02.11

Joining us this week on The Red Room was the bespectacled maestro himself, Bo'nessian musician Alan McCormack, aka Now Wakes the Sea, who, in addition to playing us some of his wonderful aleatoric folk compositions, provided us with suitably acerbic banter. Topics of discussion included the pros and cons of spending six hours in a rehearsal room, drowning out drunk people on public transport via noise music, and our first gig together as a band.

Also included is a short review of local psychadelic kraut droners Frams Torners' second ever gig at Mono Café Bar, discussions on the act of shooting a screen test, on the films of Stanley Kubrick, Darren Aronofsky, and John Huston, on Thom's experiences with Transcendental Meditation, and of rebels who may or may not have causes.

journey to the centre of the forest

The Co-operative // 23.01.11

Most glorious night!
Thou wert not sent for slumber! let me be
A sharer in thy fierce and far delight.
George Gordon, Lord Byron

For our first show of the new year, we have as our theme Wilderness. We went for a walk in the woods and visited Keith Muir in the Forest of Galloway. He told us about the Dark Sky Park, light pollution and what it's like to be alone in the woods at night. Slip through a mysterious door and into Tropic of Clyde. This episode, our heroes begin to be hunted.

Theme for next time is Electricity. Get in touch on our blog where you'll also find pictures, videos and thoughts.

We'll be back this Saturday all night, so hopefully see you there.

episode 3: neds

The Hammy & Jenko Show // 01.02.11

We're back for another week of talking pish, and this week Hammy reveals that he's had some bad news which has torn his family apart - which is quite funny for the rest of us.

As is the norm now we look through what's been happening "In the News this Week", covering topics ranging from the Andy Gray/Richard Keys sexism affair to the Clydebank Post's expose of neds who post photos of themselves drinking 'n' that on the interwebs. What bothered us most was that this isn't a recent phenomenon, as we prove by playing a "diss" targeted at one local young team to another, that was made in 2005 at the earliest.

The theme continues as Jenko describes the audience at the cinema when he went to see the film NEDS, and Hammy recalls what happened when the junkie he'd left in charge of his house attempted to rob it.

Please have a listen to the show.

Not only because I play the 2 finest singalong tracks of my childhood (don't worry they are both The Small Faces at their very best), but also my producer Kathryn took over the show.

Yes that meant Paolo 'chuffin' Nuttini but you know what it wasn't my show (even though it kind of was) and she made that Paisley jakey impersonator work.

everything and more

Students for Scarves and Charm // 30.01.11

If you haven't already come to the conclusion that Allo Darlin' are the best band in the past, present and (I'm no seer, but most probably) future of indie pop, this episode of Students for Scarves and Charm is here to help you reach that epiphany. In addition to Allo Darlin' album tracks, covers and Elizabeth Morris's recent collaboration with Darren Hayman, expect to hear classic indie pop from Marine Girls, Hefner and Dolly Mixture.

Alex Winston is this week's Unsigned Act who you can hear more from at http://www.myspace.com/alexwinston and keep an eye out for her forthcoming EP 'Sister Wife' due out on Valetine's Day.

I also pledge to give the Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook feature a bit more love (so far this has only amounted to moving it to the first half of the show). This week we celebrate the pop perfection that is The Smiths' 'Rusholme Ruffians'.

19: the aftermath of club 519

Disco Disco // 30.01.11

So one half of Disco Disco finally had their big night on Friday opening what is soon to be Sauchiehall Streets second best club, and Cheesy and Tanner were busy too. Hear all the goss from Friday as Disco Disco had a night on the town for the opening of Club 520, which in our opinion was pretty tremendous. Also up this week is the usual opinions on stuff that's going on, apparently the Murdog has been mulling over how best to start a Tunisia/Egypt style protest to get David Cameron out of office.

Get involved on the Facebook page mid show for any shouts or requests, and most importantly some content ideas from us, as there is less chance of anyone having preparing an agenda like last week than there is of Cheesy getting a hair cut anytime soon.

Oh, there will be some music too

kaleidoscope // 26.01.11

'When You Wake Up'

The Kaleidoscope wake up call includes new music from Best Coast, The Vaccines, Earth Girl Helen Brown, Keep Shelly in Athens along with a cover from The Bamboos and golden oldies from The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and The Doors.

I guess I could try and make some philosophical attempt to try and define that feeling when you wake up, but doesn't it change depending on the day, time and season? I reckon it does, things like birthdays and holidays also alter the mood to which you start your day. When Im grumpy I get the age old "someone's got out the wrong side of the bed today, haven't they!" which I can only add to by a further dismissive grunt, as more often than none I only have the option to get out of one side... Anyway, despite all of this the best days start with music, right? I miss my radio alarm clock for it. No rude awakening here. Click. Listen. Enjoy

Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

extract from an interview with gareth k vile

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 14.01.11

"I like to think of the show as being the radio equivalent of contact improvisation,"laughs Gareth K Vile. "It takes everything that is going on in my life, and turns it into audio gold."

Of course, anyone familiar with Vile's behaviour as a "Performance Critic" will be aware of his idiosyncratic mixture of high ambitions and almost comic naivety. While he wanders around the studio at Subcity, holding his microphone like he thinks he is a rapper, his Producer Harry is in the corner, working hard to fix the sound levels on an interview that Vile conducted in the cavernous Briggait because "he likes the atmosphere there". Harry is the unspoken hero of the Radio Hour, somehow managing to contain Vile's frequent flights of fantasy and personal recriminations.

The first episode of 2011 is a fine case in point. At various points, Vile claims friendship with local celebrities, picturing himself as the nexus of the Scottish performance scene. Harry rescues him repeatedly from further disgrace by making sure that the playlist, inspired by Celtic Connections, interrupts the monologues.

Whether Vile's quest to create a new form of criticism succeeds or fails depends very much on the listener's patience. "I am influenced by Free Jazz, John Cage, anything experimental, Belgian choreography and forgetting to pay for my internet connection," he continues.

(Taken from Margaret Kirk's soon to be published collection of interviews, Meetings with Remarkably Stupid Men)

first live show (recording)

The Vile Arts Radio Hour // 28.01.11

Having been separated by competing timetables, Performance Critic Gareth K Vile and his producer Harry finally team up on air for their weekly look at Glasgow, and Scotland's cultural highlights. Vile races between the UK Theatre School, The Tramway,The Arches and the studio, seeking out burlesque theatre, wrestling theatre and Pecha Kucha, while Harry tries to clear up the mess this ex-Latin teaching neophyte contact improviser leaves behind.

Fortunately, the arrival of Adam Ketterer, drummer in Glasgow's There Will Be Fireworks brings some semblance of order, while Des O'Connor, Gypsy Charms, Chris Wilson and Rob Drummond all manage to get the occasional word in between Vile's monologues. Musical choices include plenty of rare tracks - an exclusive from Fireworks, a trinity of cheeky cabaret singalongs from O'Connor and a pair of tracks from Crystal Castles that cause further bickering in the studio.

dj squish kibosh mix!

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 29.01.11

Banished from his home planet for a crime he didn't commit, Squish Kibosh drifted aimlessly through interstellar space for millennia, desperately trying to uncover the true culprit of his accused felony so as to clear his name and reintegrate with the Flaxarian hive mind from which he'd been expelled. All leads exhausted, Squish reluctantly came to accept that he would never return to Nomicron Delta 5 nor see his beloved gastropod clutch ever again. With 14 heavy hearts Squish resolved to seek out a new home, somewhere he could be accepted, where his past wouldn't haunt him. After much searching he finally discovered a certain little blue planet he now considers home. Uranus. It was here he remained in exile, all hope of returning to his beloved place of gestation gone forever.

Theez Boyz first became aware of the plight of Squish during a charity fundraiser for victims of the Arcturian timequake that had left so many without adequate age. It was at this fundraiser that we had the honour of meeting Krom Krabash envoy to Nomicron Delta 5 who, over a plate of crabs, happened to mention the curious case of Squish Kibosh. Intrigued, and always interested in interfering with the justice systems of alien planets Theez Boyz decided to get involved. Word was sent to Uranus that Theez Boyz were on the case. Squish appeared in Glasgow soon after.

By way of thanking us for our efforts in trying to clear his name, Squish decided to repay us in the traditional Earth manner. By creating an astounding mix of hip hop, acid and electro that would convey his inner most feelings of gratitude. Having 17 tentacles benefited greatly.

And so, this Saturday Theez Boyz will be proudly presenting Squish Kiboosh's "Hand's Across The Galaxy Mix." Tune in at ten or listen again whenever you please.

Cya'll there!

Foreign Thoughts // 28.01.11

That was undoubtedly the most educational hour of Scottish music i've ever experienced. There was mind maps and everything. I'm going to try get a scan of Chris' scribbled notes as they really are interesting to see. We are definitely getting him back in for Vol. 2 very soon.

As well as being an encyclopedia of music, Chris plays with Dead or American (www.myspace.com/deadoramerican) and also Hey Enemy (www.myspace.com/heyenemy).

He also books bands for Bar Bloc, a cracking wee live music pub that I definitely recommend any night o the week. It is a truly unique little place and ye also yer pure cheap pizza.

Enough promotion, have a wee listen to the show and get educated x

Kevin is more interested in Murray's performance in the tennis, but that doesn't stop him from insulting his fellow presenters a healthy amount.

Great tracks too from Black Lips, Andy Williams, Hall and Oates, Madvillain and Blondie (and Prince, of course...). All in all, it's one of the best show's yet, make sure you e-mail us with your comments and requests for next week (we'll be celebrating all things German) at alldaycheeky@gmail.com

I was hanging out with the Colonial fleet, Battlestar Galactica style, in what I can only describe as a cool as nuts lounge bar populated entirely by lesbians, all tooled up with massive rail guns and rocking cool Terminator shades and stuff.

They were going completely bonkers to the music, grooving like hip cats did to Bird back in the day, but with a compellingly violent air about them, ready to blast some Cylon ass all the way back to the other end of the galaxy if need be.

I couldnt make out what the music was like, mainly because in the dream, as in life, I was precariously drunk, teetering on the edge of vomiting thanks largely to a sweet tasting purple liquid that I was being fed by Claire Balding, who was behind the bar for some reason.

Anyway, it was totally awesome so I thought I'd attempt to recreate a little of that dytopian sci-fi atmosphere on this weeks show. Minimal talking, more noise. It's a mixture of combined futurist lo-fi psyche and dreamlike tape visions, free folk freak out rituals, harrowing blasts of throat singing and mangled hurdy gurdy, poised Italian sound art and even a dollop of UK bass.

Frack 'em up sisters.

show 11: a night of ethnic slurs

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 27.01.11

"Krautrock is a subjective British phenomenon" - Julian Cope.

The key word there is "phenomenon". Teaming up with Krautrock specialist Gary NASA, this week we're bringing you the best of Krautrock as we see it. There's an "in" for everyone as we move through the more well known works of Can and Faust, spin some more obscure and less vaunted (but every bit as ball-grippingly astounding) sound from the likes of Popol Vuh and Kluster and even touch on a more modern take on the genre.

Tune in and find yourself utterly submerged in a world of 150bpm motorik beats and some of the best soundscapes you're likely to hear. We promise to touch the hearts and loins of even the most staunch Germanophobe.

Whose Responsible This? // 27.01.11

Was there ever any doubt that I would return to you? I'm scheduled into June so even after I've lost all will to even look at a computer again, I'll still be bringing you fresh Whose Responsible This? Look forward to this week's edition, as I'm going to be revisiting a story from the last episode, warning you about indestructible hand dangers and the dangers of blowing up your own hand for the sake of eternal love as well as rounding up an assault of lesser, weaker, more nerdy stories you can pick on and shame in the playground. Cut in some music like so much fine cocaine and you've got yourself an episode, folks. Broadcast begins at 14:00 GMT on Thursday 27th Jan, so be there.

mad & macabre

Jackie your Body // 26.01.11

Jackie your Body has two fresh mixes this week for you; Leatherface's french horror film-esqe juke and footwork mix, Mad and Macabre. Dave Quam described this mix as 'I had a dream about a serial killer who was the dopest footworker once, this was the soundtrack'. The mix contains exclusive new material and new mixes of The Escapists and Alkpote. The second mix comes from Soca obsessives D’Hana and Rizzla. Their Nu Life Vol. 1 Soca mix is heavy on low end bass and features some Philly Club from Bomber Gurl, a Jackie your Body favourite. I'll also be playing some new juke and footwork from the Bangs and Footwork album, recently released on Planet Mu and perhaps some tracks from up and coming Juke label Ghettophiles.

Argonaut Sounds // 26.01.11

No theme for the show this week, but after last week's Joe Gibbs marathon there's some serious catching up to do - as such, mixed in with a few oldies, we'll have two hours of the latest tunes tearing up the dancehall, a few big ones from last year, and a few from artists who are expected to do big things this year...

Foreign Thoughts // 28.01.11

So this Friday will be perhaps the most unusual show yet, as we are joined by Chris Cusack, a 'jack of all trades' character that as well as playing in bands, teaching kung fu and booking bands for bloc..also has an insane amount of knowledge of music that me and Johnny have never heard of.

So this show will be an education, as we will get to sit back and enjoy some sounds that Chris feels have shaped the Scottish music scene over the past few years. Johnny and I are not only excited, but also grateful that we haven't had to do any preparation.

Our fourth musician in session is a little less well-known than our previous guests, but you'll soon wonder where Reverie aka Louise Connell has been all your life. Airdrie, apparently.

The Red Room // 26.01.11

In yet another first for The Red Room, we were joined live in studio by local musician and bearded man Lewis Cook of experimental Glasgow groups Yahweh and Frams Torners, who provided not only a generous collection of exciting and unusual music, but also a wealth of interesting and sometimes amusing banter.

Topics discussed included the passive-aggresive "accidental" destruction of Jenny's laptop; polite, mysterious and potentially homeless/murderous gentlemen visiting the USA; our favourite new iPhone apps (including audio demos of some of the more musical ones), as well as a rundown of our most anticipated films at this year's Glasgow Film Festival; and brief reviews of films by Jean Renoir (Boudu Saved From Drowning), Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), and Pascal Laugier (Martyrs). Also contained somewhere within these two hours is Thom's very first big up.

Enjoy.

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 20.01.11

Alright, alright, alright. I know, this is late... Many apologies. Sidetracked by new jobs, old jobs and handjobs but at least we've got 'round to it eventually. This last instalment had us playing back-to-back, wall-to-wall, lips-to-lips tunes from some of our favourite storytellers. No Enid Blyton Crunk or Cormac McCarthy Polka, just a plethora of outright rinsers.

future dubs

Wavy Graves // 25.01.11

This episode features a mix from Tom Marshall (aka Dam Mantle) an audio and visual artist based in Glasgow who released two EPs last year, the latest being Purple Arrow available via his label Growing Records. Dam Mantle's refusal to temper his productions by deleting beats, reprogramming analogue synth jams and re-pitching vocals often explore what is absent as much as what is heard.

After investigating this grey area in performances around the UK and Europe, with improvised interpretations of the 8-bit pysch of Purple Arrow, the next tour in March comes with some changes and new dubs. Tom’s interest in “working at 150BPM, working with half speed and double speed..seeing how the body responds to that in a club environment” and his claim that all music is "folk music" connects the reclamation of the past that Juke and other Chicago House movements make and explains Tom's use of an 808 on new jam Movement. Dam Mantle's interpretation of the connections between sounds from the past and present included in this mix, the crusty dub of Dadawah, the "psychotomimetic collages" of Dem Hunger, the compact funk of Pavan, the meloncholic juke of DJ Earl are some indication of what is shaping his future dubs and new record First Wave.

dam mantle (growing records)

Wavy Graves // 25.01.11

Whats new?

I’m looking forward to playing in March with like a new set-up. Its solo, its kind of swaying to something steadier. Its probably a bit easier to dance to. When I was playing with Calum we were playing tracks that were totally different from each other, it was great and it forced us to improvise them a lot, but i kind of feel the new set is more club based. I’m working towards an album, kind of fighting self-doubt. I’ve kind of scrapped it twice now and restarted again. I’m making as much music as possible, and at some point I will decide what i will do with it, but yeah I’m going to select tracks to use for an album.

I’m working on doing videos for it to, I do that during the day, then I go home and work on the music. I work with other people for that, I’m working with my friend Richard at the moment, we are doing an installation soon at the Arches. Even the music comes from jamming with other people, then its a case of reprogramming it to have an end product. Its sounding a bit different, the new stuff has got more of an American influence. The new stuff is faster paced, more of an American dance music influence from ghettohouse to crunk -with a mix of what has ever a influence to me.

So whats the new set-up?

APC, MPD, playing with bit and bobs, its just mainly so I can compress it, so its easier to travel about the world. When I record, I dont use soft synths, its all analogue, recorded in and untreated as audio. So in may ways the live set doesn’t resemble the process behind making the music, but its a means to travel, you cant take all your synths with you. As much I would love to.

You have done a bunch of remixes for people like Gonjasufi, Ben Butler & Mousepad, Conquering Animal Sound, etc. Are you a fan of Gonjasufi’s work?

Yeah absolutely. That album is awesome. I think its kind of important in a way, like how its crossed a lot of of boundaries culturally, or like how music is recorded. I think its of-now because it goes through a lot of processes that have come in music previous to it. If that makes any sense? I remember them saying they didn’t want any digital processing in it at all, thats why some of them have such a real raw analgoue distortion that makes it sound like there is dust on the needle. I dont know what they were doing when they recorded that.

How do you pick and go about reworking other peoples songs?

I guess like with every remix I do, Its about being aware of the context of the track is already in. Some people i have spoken to that have done remixes before say the didn’t even listen to the original track before and I can’t quite understand that. So i guess in the reflection of that I try to take it somewhere, I think the remix I did for Ben Butler & Mousepad it operates in the same space as what Ben Butler & Mousepad does, but I don’t quite know how.

When I interviewed Joe Howe (Ben Butler & Mousepad) he said that he was interested in making music that challenges the standard or what could be considered a standard formula for a “dance” track...intro, 8 bars, breakdown etc.

Its something I think about a lot, I totally agree with Joe there, i think its starting to happen more and more, its happened tons in the past, but people like to deconstruct everything, but yeah its something I’m into, like playing with the structures of electronic music and not feeling any need to follow any unwritten rules of how you should structure music, and letting influences from the structure of other music other than electronic music..god I’m waffling.

So whats the mix about?

I guess i started off playing records that I would play to dance to, there quite electronic, then I sort of trailed off and started mixing with my housemate. We thought about it hindsight, it goes to many countries and lots of different styles. I guess all the music comes from the discourse of being removed from something, for instance the last track is by Thomas Mapfumo, who is from Zimbawae, they are kind of protest songs, or really sorrowful songs about being in the civil war. Its like my friend Richard said: “all music is folk music”. So its a mixtape of music from a lot of different parts of the world and it goes back and forth in time and around the world. They’ve all influenced eachother, there is a lot of dub on there, kinda crusty records. It starts of with some Hyperdub, or futuredub, well thats what i would call it, which is a really big influence, much more so than early 2000 dubstep. Scientist especially is a much bigger influence than say what was being played at DMC.

I've also added our newly founded Soundcloud to the links on your bottom right of the screen. We'll be using this page to host promo mixes, tracks and whatever else to supplement our show.

On top of that we will be going down a different route of playing out tonight. Tonight our show will be in the form of a live, continuous mixed set. This requires planning, lugging gear about and taking things up a notch. I'm excited about this.

the blogger battle

Pop Goes The Revolution // 28.01.11

Sometimes it's worth remembering there are a tonne of other people on the internet who talk about unsigned and independent new music. Some of these people release songs in small groups for you to download - we call these people podcasters - whilst others choose to write about music on a 'webpage' - we call these people bloggers.

Some of these people are actually quite good. And more often than not The PGTR Team can be found reading them, pinching bands, and pretending we found them first. So in a special one off we thought we'd hand the entire PGTR playlist over to some other people (I know what you're thinking, that's never happened before - that's right, we trust these people that much.)

We've invited 5 of the best bloggers out there to select four tunes each to try and win you over. The Pop Cop Peenko Aye Tunes Song By Toad and Halina from Glasgow Podcart (a blog that talks) will all be selecting tunes and explaining why they chose them, and why their tunes are the best.

The only question remains: Who 'da best?

Listen in to Pop Goes The Revolution and see who steals your ears and has you scurrying hurriedly to their website.

PS We apologise that this blogger battle will involve a distinct lack of physical jousting (metaphorical jousting is encouraged).

Left Of The Dial // 23.01.11

This week: since by the time St Andrew's Day rolls around we're usually knee-deep in year-end best-of lists, we've taken to celebrating Scottishness on the show around Burns Night, and this year's no different. In preparation for the cutting of the veggie haggis (or, y'know, something less gross) we've got some lesser-known Scottish indie, two sides of the same song from Teenage Fanclub and BMX Bandits, a gorgeous #1 Record from The Blue Nile and another, potentially-humiliating-for-Chris, new feature.

She Said had no reason whatsoever to apologise for a change to the scheduled programme as once more we welcomed back Josh (our first reserve stand-by substitute apparently) for some endearing punk/goth sparring with possibly the usual drivel about Echo and the Bunnymen being amazing (yawn!) and the supposed merits of J Mascis guitar solos (bleugh!).

Fear not, there were amazing tunes, the usual dodgy patter and lotsa loving in the air.

Aye.

let's take a step back here

Pop Goes The Revolution // 21.01.11

We've played a lot of really new stuff recently. We kept finding new bands and new artists and going 'oooo... you heard of these guys." However we realised that most of the time we were getting whole albums and playing just one tune or two - this is wrong.

So we've gone back and found more stuff by a bunch of great acts from the first three months of this year's PGTR.

However for those of you who think that playing something by a band you have heard even four bars of before is 'so last year/month/week' - rest assured we've got a few new tunes by the likes of The Voyeurist, Oh! Stockholm & Birdeatsbaby.

George also accuses Nikki of playing the worst song she's ever played in the Saving Grace feature, the Song Battle features three of George's favourite songs of all time, and the Nostalgia takes us to the world of Pete Gabriel. Enjoy.

Posted at 12:39, 22nd January 2011

we're back, properly...

Keep it Simple // 22.01.11

Its a new year which means, new years resolutions, change and broken promises! Our gift to you is a new feature, however what form that takes is down to you. Get posting your ideas on the facebook page, we have few ideas- but we're gonna let you decide!

On the show we'll be playing a variety of great music including Admiral Fallow (Andy's new obsession), James Blake and reminiscing of the year 2004 with a song by Dogs Die in Hot Cars.

And of course News or Blues, we can't forget that.

Happy New Year

the cartoon sex episode / top ten 2011

Screen Shrapnel // 09.01.11

It’s that time of year again when film critic types, even rank amateurs like ourselves, have a go at reducing twelve months of cinema highs and lows into ten films fit for the ages. We’ve roped in Chris Ward from the mighty Left of the Dial to help us in our rundown, which once again highlights the differences in our film tastes. Only two films have the honour of making it onto all three of our lists and it’s notable that both have nerdy, narcissistic child-men as their main protagonists. What does that say about us then?

It’s a two hour show, so sit back, relax and enjoy the best cinema from 2010 as described by the worst that radio has to offer from that, or any other year.

Subcity Sessions // 21.01.11

Having produced nearly 100 tracks in the past year, Frazer Graham (aka HaHaHa) is a dedicated producer, recording found sounds to create some of the phased melody lines that share something with the slick submerged DnB of LTJ Bukem. Manipulating the sound of snapping wood and dripping taps on some of the tracks on his Evil EP (available via Swimteam Records) has just been one of his approaches to a brand of house that takes some tighter ascending 8-bit synths on latest track Cyclops. His live performances involve a big bag of live percussion, re-edits, original productions, tight punchy bass drums and rattling toms.

His most recent project has been a collaboration with fellow Subcity cohort Raksha, a few tracks have already been leaked from an EP planned for release later this year. Even Subcity veteran Benny Boom has given his latest mixtape props on the Mixed Bizness blog.

Why did you start Swimteam Records?

Me and my friend Suezz, who I do Alpine Ski Champion with, wanted to start our own platform to release what we were recording, so we set it up and released Kingdom which was the first four songs we made together.

How do you approach your productions?

That track Leaky Submarine on my EP, took a couple of weeks. I was trying to limit myself at the time. All the songs were just recorded with a kick, high hat, cracking wood and water. A big influence of mine is Micachu and the Shapes, they have used the sounds of hoovers, that really influenced me. I don’t really like synthesizers, probably because I don’t really have a good one. I think it's kind of interesting using familiar sounds but making them sound a little bit different. Sampling them or make melodies of them to, I try not to do too much, I like minimal stuff. I like making it just to sound interesting.

Gutter Riddim // 22.01.11

Over the past couple of weeks I have been listening to a lot of old stuff and a lot of new stuff, some forgotten classics and some totally wierd shit. I thought for this show I would let you hear some of the music I have been getting into.

From South African hip hop and Brazilian ragga to Swedish skweee and London jungle. Expect to hear a bit of everything, this is an international urban bass music extravaganza!

episode 2: you can do it if you b&q it

The Hammy & Jenko Show // 19.01.11

We're back for the New Year and despite several resolutions being made we have, for the most part, failed to become any less shambolic than usual.

There is actually some content on the (now fortnightly) show, with segments including the self-explanatory "In the News This Week", as well as "What Happened to Hammy?", where an investigation leads to a phonecall with B&Q. We're also joined by our mate Nick as well as our new voiceover guy Charles.

Admittedly, it gets off to a bit of a shaky start, but by the end it has almost passed for what could be recognisably seen as a radio show.

Synth // 19.01.11

Yes, we were a bit late getting off the mark with this week's how. Trust me, had you seen us tearing through Glasgow city centre shouting at incompetent drivers then you'd understand our sweaty flustering.

Tonight we had two Blog Burner's, the first provided by Brighton Disco diamonds 'Maxxi Soundsystem' with their re-edit of Alexander O' Neal's 80's piano-house classic 'Criticize', and the second came from Zed Bias with a cut off his new album called 'Salsa Funk' - heavy.

Raksha, Kid Robotik & Daniel Donnelly all battled it out for the title of Local Hero with three exceptional tunes. Who won? You'll need to listen to find out. They're all winners in our book though. RESPECT

broadcast

The Red Room // 19.01.11

With regards to the tragic news involving Broadcast vocalist Trish Keenan, we at The Red Room decided that recording an episode revolving around their music was pretty much inevitable, as well as a fitting tribute to such a unique and precious band. We played material that spanned their entire career, as well as several bands who have been attributed as influences on Broadcast.

In an attempt to avoid spending the whole show in a somber mood, we also spent a good deal of it waxing lyrical about our daily lives, including our (sometimes successful) rehearsals with various bands, our casual criticism of a certain West End eatery and its clients, a gig by fantastic local artist Remember Remember, a documentary by Errol Morris, and a certain mentalist who has been keeping us entertained for the past week.

In living memory of Trish Keenan.

rpz & thunder disco club's "workout!"

RPZ // 19.01.11

FRIDAY 11th Feb 2011

RPZ & Thunder Disco Club

STEREO Cafe Bar. 22-28 Renfield Lane 11-3am £5

On Friday 11th February 2011 RPZ & Thunder Disco Club join forces to present WORKOUT! at Stereo Cafe Bar on Renfield Lane.

"First comes the warm-up, then comes the cardio-vascular section. This will last 15-20 mins, and will be un-interupted and steady. This aerobic phase exercises the most important muscle in the body - the HEART!" Jamie Lee Curtis "Perfect" (1985)

Club running mates for a number of years, the RPZ and TDC crews have been planing to team up on a club night for some time. Yet although they share a great many influences both musically and culturally, it wasn't clear what would be the best concept for a joint venture. With a dual history of running events based on high-end electro, italo and all manner of neon-satured 1980's video images, the choice for inspiration for their first event of 2011 was a difficult one. Ultimately, it was their shared passion for a certain day-glo, spandex clad moment in american 80's culture that proved the wining combination!

WORKOUT! is a night themed around the culture of wild 80's exersize and workout videos. While the djs from RPZ and TDC lay down some aerobic electronic rhythms to get everyone loosened up and ready for the main session (their very best selections of hi-tech disco, italomatic euro beats and cybernetic funk), visuals maestro Joe Crogan will be energising the whole room with ridiculously rare footage from mind-boggling 1980's workout videos. WORKOUT promises to be exactly what your dream of a sweaty, day-glo 80's mega gym would be - full of beautiful women and handsome, men all dancing together in a blur of smiles, tans, towels and tight jeans!

Stomachs in, buttocks tight, feel the burn ... its time to ITALOCISE!

Posted at 21:50, 18th January 2011

screw it, i'm off to america...

The Christmas Holidays saw George trapped up with the flu, and in his fever induced mind actually became lost in the search for music. After months of visiting blogs, myspace pages, websites, soundclouds and the odd bandcamp, he eventually came to a shocking conclusion - America's totally where it's at right now.

So expect a fair number of US Unsigned acts as we take you from Alabama, to Los Angeles, to Austin.

Also, there is a special treat as Nikki is away, so Caroline steps up to the mic and guests along side George. So for those of you who always wanted to know if she was real or just a figment of George and Nikki's imagination, here's your proof.

advertise-men

Tarantism // 17.01.11

Music can both help and take away from the effectiveness of a TV advert. Many songs have made adverts famous, and other songs have been made famous by advertisements.

Guinness' use of Leftfield - Phat Planet, for example, in the famous Surfer advert made the song one of the most iconic pieces of music of 1999.

Tonight we play a variety of songs that have featured in a collection of recognisable, and maybe some less well known adverts over the past 20 years.

the essential skweeelection

This episode from Wavy Graves features two slow compact funk mixes from two producers who create very different variants of the skweee sound. Showing off the more traditional forms of the Scandinavian funk is Ben Butler and Mousepad with a ten track skweee primer that "tries to cover all bases of skweee, from the awkward, funky, dissonant, soulful, icy, dumb". He followed Frans Carlqvist (Pavan, Limonious, head of Flogsta Danshall)'s original tenets of Skweee and kept everything to 105bpm. With a mix of recent US and unknown releases is one of skweee's kingpins: Mesak.

Also featured in this episode is an interview with UK imprint Donky Pitch who via their label and club nights support and promote some of the purveyors of the crooked synthline, dutty hiphop UK sound of Ghost Mutt and Slugabed.

// Ben Butler and Mousepad (LOAF)

Joe Howe (aka Ben Butler & Mousepad) left Glasgow for Berlin to collaborate on the Joemus project with "electronic vaudevillian" Momus, before that he was recording and performing with one of the best twisted pop duo OF ALL TIME: Gay Against You. Since then he has taken on a number of projects including a series of recordings at WORM studios in Amsterdam and most recently a sound piece to accompany an opera about synth pioneer Wendy Carlos. His performances have licks of improvisation, sometimes accompanied by a live drummer, welding the keytar for extended solos, or just some tight synthetic funk jams. A prolific artist, working on a number of synth centric projects, including his own brand of thick rocking skweee available on LOAF Recordings, his Souncloud, his Bandcamp and a split 7" with Sprutbass on Dødpop .

//Donky Pitch

The Brighton imprint have been some of the first in the UK to put on Coco Bryce, Randy Barracuda, Mweslee, Slugabed...they've even pressed a split 7" with Slugabed and Ghostmutt (whos love for Keith Sweat can be heard again on his latest mixtape Jam Your Boner). They talk about upcoming Donky Pitch releases, their seminal skweee record and losing their skweeeginerty

// Mesak (Harmönia)

The CEO of Harmonia, one of the originators of the so-called skweee sound and one of the chillest guys you'll ever meet. He's proven to be one of the most versatile "skweee" producers with deeper techno cuts on Klakson, putting out a collection of Pavan's recordings from 2003-2006 and some sweet live MPC performances.This is an exclusive set of strictly 7"s.

a pretentious return

Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites // 17.01.11

You may have noticed the lack of shows towards the end of last year. This was due to a butt load of work I had to do for my PhD and a whole bunch of non-work related stuff. I've finally got some free time and so Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites returns, once again.

As one of my favourite things is being pretentious, I though I'd dedicate an entire show to the theme. So tonight's episode will feature as many overly intricate and extravagant tracks as possible. To help make the show even more self indulgent I'll also be accompanied by some of my mates who used to present the show with me.

Bangers & Mashup // 16.01.11

So the holiday season is completely done and dusted. Now its time for Bangers & Mashup to get back into the nitty gritty.

Over the next three weeks, we'll be focusing our guest slot on new club night, Co-op, a night that brings together three institutions of Glasgows underground club scene: Dirty Noise, Orderly Disorder & Mount Heart Attack. The plan is to catch up with each of them over the next three weeks, starting tonight with Mount Heart Attack's Ryan (Lono) & Liam (Lebowski) on the old wheels of steel for a back to back.

I've also put together a small mini doc for each, giving you an insight on the guys, their nights, and how co-op came about along with a feel for what you can expect down there.

This week, we're opting for a quick look back at 2010 for Year Of The Week, throwing in what tracks stand out for us & what's kept us dancing through til 2011.

Unfortunately we are without Rosa tonight, but she'll be back next week, don't worry, she has been greatly missed, and we'll get back to the usual 'Year Of The Week' bust ups next week!

mesak (harmönia)

Foreign Thoughts // 14.01.11

// Mesak (Harmönia)

Whats your name? Who are you?

Mesak. "CEO" of Harmönia record label...

How would you describe what skweee is, or what it could be?

Retard electro funk from the north

Who or what is proto-skweee?

i think this is why the scene is so vivid and heterogenic; everyone has his/hers own roots for inspiration and vision for "proto skweee". i've heard so many different versions of how the music sounds and what are the origins etc... but at the same time there is some things that define skweee more than others. i'd say that Randy Barracuda and Daniel Savio, the biggest crate diggers in the scene, have defined so called proto skweee most. hopefully they give more precice answer.

Do you love skweee? If so why, if not why not?

I love skweee, it made me meet many great ppl who i would have not otherwise met.

Where, when, or who was there when you first heard/performed skweee?

First i found weird Swedish releases in Snickars Records in Stockholm, among them was a Påve (later Pavan) 10"... couple of years later i saw the man playing in Bergen's Ekko Festival 2004. That's when i lost my skweeerginity.

Which skwee label/artists do you favour? What differences do you perceive between the labels/artists?

All new labels and artists are welcome. we're always looking for new inspirational musicians to harmönia roster and new labels are considered friends, for sure.

Why is the 7” king? Is the 7” king?

Nice size, cheap postages... and it doesn't fit "extra" shit in it, only the essential tunes! practical in these digi-releases-overflow times..

What was the first bit of technology that inspired you? What was the last bit of technology to inspire you?

Oh, it goes way back! but some very very first "music" i made with a turntable and an open reel tape recorder which functioned as 4-tracker.. making tape loops etc... that was like -91 or so.

What are you doing today?

Since it’s the beginning of a new year, and everyone is trying to re-invigorate, rejuvenate, and incarnate themselves into a wholly new physical being to deal with the turmoil of the fressshh new month’s ahead, today’s show is all about sustenance and equipping myself, and all you lot for a year of disbelief, obliteration, annihilation, and to the other end of the spectrum being at ease with the environment and ~~spacious flows~~ around us.

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

So to get rid of all of those toxic fumes you inhaled from the year before and all of that nasty bacteria thats trying to invade our bodies, this particular show doesn’t focus on anything specific, instead Fergus has popped into the studio to grace us with a nice wee miniature mix which focuses on a lot of Deep house, bass bin, glitch step, mad beats that he’s been listening to recently to get us all shakin’ and dancin’ or just casually boppin’ into the next millenium and beyond.

I’m also going to play something a little bit out of the norm and share other musical tastes that I’m into cuz it’s always good to do things a little bit differently every now and then to moisten that squidgy, big organ of soft nervous tissue contained within our skulls. SO I’m going to play some ear bleeding, skull crushing, death defying, warrior chanting ``thrash``heavy`` metal and some anxious, android, schizophrenic hip hop from Sensational and a little bit of swagga from that Purple Ribbon All-Stars track about Superman’s most fatalistic___deadly weakness, a glowing green, crystalized rock from the outwardly galactic planet Krypton, called Kryptonite.

merry new year...

Synth // 12.01.11

So we're back on Subcity for 2011, feeling fresh and extremely excited about the New Year! So much amazing music to play you over the coming weeks and I'm pleased to say that a lot of it is local heat...Glasgow producers are really coming in strong this year!

This week we featured local music from Mia Dora, Barrientos, Slow It Down, Dersonna & Quahaze - all sounding utterly exceptional. Not to mention this week's Local Hero, Simon Bryan with his track 'Intersect'. We also put forward some of our predictions for the biggest up and comers of 2011 with Broke One, Canblaster, Jamie XX & Julio Bashmore. Quahaze provided our Tea Time Rave Off with an exceptional funk-tastic mix and this week's Blog Burner came from The Magician with his mix on Lykke Li's new single 'I Follow Rivers'. All in all, a great way to start the year!

Remember you can check out our blog at http://www.synthesiseglasgow.blogspot.com/ for more Glasgow appreciation where we showcase the freshest local beats, carry previews & reviews of the hottest club nights and post interviews with some of the most interesting names on the scene.

We're also on Facebook as well, get liking at: http://www.facebook.com/synth.glasgow

sprutbass (dødpop)

It Ain't Workin' Chief // 15.01.11

Skweee labels have been slowly emerging around the globe since 2007, last year American imprint Poisonous Gases started pressing in Portland, making that 3 Skweee labels based in the USA. In the UK, Donky Pitch have just put out their first release, a split between Slugabed and Ghost Mutt, who are both based in Brighton.

It all started in the Nordics with labels Flogsta Danshall and Harmonia releasing some of the first Skweee records. Flogsta Danshall takes its name from a community hall in the small town of Flogsta in Sweeden. Pavan who started the label says that the last time he went to the single floor Danshall, he saw “a guy stood on a table trying to knock himself out with a whiskey bottle...we never held parties in there, but its kind of a fantasy that people going there and going crazy to this kind of music. Its kind of its true home.”

Although the sound is almost sophisticated, or slick, its the kind of Danshall stupidity thats at the heart of Skweee, it isn’t ponderous muisc it wants to create the biggest impact with the smallest amount of effort.

//Sprutbass (dødpop)

Whats your name? Who are you?

Eivind Henjum, Sprutbass.

How would you describe what skweee is, or what it could be?

To meeee skweeee is more a way of attitude towards music and the process of making it, rather than certain sounds, rythms and different musical parameters. Skweeee is a positive, unpretentious way of thinking that goes to the core of what i think the real essence of music should be. Without all the nonsense and unmusical bullshit that often goes toghether with modern, popular music.

Who or what is proto-skweee?

Hmm....those genres.....Not shure here....maybe....my all time favourite germans Kraftwerk, old videogamessoundtracks like Atari or Nintendo, some old hip-hop and early works of some of the Darmstadt- composers like Stockhausen, early electronic music.

Proto means first, so i guess proto-skweee also can be a mark on the early skweee like the oldest Flogsta and Harmönia stuff by Pavan, Joxaren or early stuff by Mesak and Randy Barracuda. Really minimalistic soundscape and sort of naive melodies, and "cheap" sounds, although they are really complex works and true masterpieces.

Do you love skweee? If so why, if not why not?

I really LOVE some skweee artist, and some i dont like, or understand, to put it diplomatic. Im not a fan of all skweee. If it lacks a certain vibe and melodic structure and progression, i get bored. But i try not to think to much if somethings is "skweee" or not. I dont see the point of doing so, its limiting.

I love the skweee- way of thinking (see quest. 1), its a great way for me to work. Its a "play first, think later" -mentality that i find really healthy and inspiring. The "do it yourself" way of thinking really opened up for me, as i always played in bands or different groups making compromises all the time. I love collaboroating, but the skweee- scene made me do it all by myself. I dont think i would have started the Sprutbass- project if it was for the skweee scene Beatbully and Melkeveien introdused me to. So yes, i love skweee.

Where is it all going? It seems like fewer skweee records are being made at the moment, or am I just being dumb?

Hmm. It lives its own life now i guess, but i know Dødpop got a busy year ahead with many releases coming up, myself, Beatbully and Daniel Savio + + all with full length albums. And Chelis and the guys in Zaragoza got something coming too, soon i hope. And Harmönia, since im about to send them some new material...

I play alot live these days, and people seem to take interest in the "unfamiliar" typical skweee sounds. Especially people who usually dont listen to electronic music or are especially dedicated towards it. I often hear people say to me after the show: "I did not know i enjoyed this kind of music..." So, maybe skweee can be a eye-opener to more people; that electronic music and a laptop on stage dont have to be hard-trance, techhouse or a dj just spinning mp3s. Or to put it in a different way: its ok to take a beer and just listen or nod your head and whatever u feel like..its just music.

Where, when, or who was there when you first heard/performed skweee?

The first time i heard of skweee was back in 2008 when my dear friend Bård Beatbully asked me to join his liveset for the now legendary Norrköping skweee summit. I brought my old Korg Ms20 and Bård used a mac, and a old beaten Mikrokorg and off we went. Lots of impro on his songs, wich probably was the first skweee i ever heard. It worked quite nice: Only one laptop got stolen, and there was (maybe...) two or three others in the audience who didnt play, besides the 12 or so of us who did play. Thats the skweee-curse.

But we had a great time, meeting up with the Flogsta and Harmönia- guys, even my man, the legendary Thomas Wankers United came all the way from Paris playing. I think we all immediatly hit of with eachother, same crappy humor and a great hunger for beer, old synths and grandmas slippers. It was my first meeting with the both skweee and the scene, if u could call it that in 2008. Anyhow, it was a blast, and all of a sudden i released my first 7" along with Bård on dødpop some months later (hjemmebrentfunk/ulykke 7" -dødpop 02)

Which skwee label/artists do you favour? What differences do you percieve between the labels/artists?

All of them! Who i listen to varies from day to day.

I love the differnces and variations internally on all the releases. Anyone could hear the difference between my stuff and..lets say Pavan or Mesak, or Beatbully. I dont bother thinking of the difference between the labels, its som much variation internally anyway. And all the artists releases their stuff on all the different labels and we all play togheter. So..to me its kind of a blurry border between the different labels

In the big picture, the difference between the labels is mostly geographical.

Why is the 7” king? Is the 7” king?

Its cheap, small and without broadband. For me, its about giving the music the focus it deserves. You dont get the same ears with Spotify or digital releases. Guess im old school.

What was the first bit of technology that inspired you? What was the last bit of technology to inspire you?

First and last: My Korg Ms20. Its the main instrument for all my work, along with the Roland 707 drum- machine i got/still borrows/haventpaidforyet, from Bård and a Microkorg. I concider myself "technicially disabeled" , so not much softsynths or fancystuff.

What are you doing today?

Watching all the Harry Potter movies in a old monastery in the norwegian countryside. Saving up energy for all the hardcore skweee shows in 2011.

Left Of The Dial // 16.01.11

This week: the first show of 2011 brings an appropriate greeting from The Walkmen (playing the Oran Mor this Wednesday, incidentally); a catch-up of assorted albums missed from last year, based on other folks' year-end best-ofs; Orange Juice's seminal but long out of print debut record You Can't Hide Your Love Forever, finally available again thanks to Domino's wonderful new complete discography boxset Coals To Newcastle, in #1 Records; and a new feature to boot. Yes.

Worst Chips Ever // 14.01.11

It's the first Worst Chips Ever of the new year. Back to the fucking grind. We're all in this together! THE BIG SOCIETY, aye? Bollocks. I'm on JSA and I've been chained to a bloody toilet all day vomiting out whats left of my dignity. It's just the flu. Not that I've been to a doctor. I'm a Northern MAN, dammit. I dont have need for such quackery. Probably just read you some guff out of a book and fill you full of them antibiotics what mean you cant go down the pub. No ta. I'll see this one out with the spirit of my forefathers...and while I cant necessarily compare the sacrifice of two generations of British war dead to a tit with the flu, I reckon my struggle is, in its own way, just as trying.

Anyway, not in the studio in person tonight, but the show goes out live none the less thanks to the combined efforts of The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart and Earthly Matters, who have ensured I dont miss yet another show by sorting stuff out studio-side. Big up.

Due to me only being able to look at a computer screen for around five minutes at a time before everything goes all Anime and my brain falls through my nose, tonights show is a re-run of a mixtape I made for the short lived blog that Worst Chips Ever arose from. I only did a handful of these mixtapes but this was by far the most well received. It focuses on vocal manipulations, acapella, improvised sound poetry and non musical field recordings. Lots of garbled vowells and militant toasting, street corner proto hip hop enunciations, invocations of a parallel mystical Albion and much more. Anne Briggs, Henri Chopin, Blood Stereo, traditional vocal workouts from Burundi, sacred harp singing, gospel choirs, work songs and field hollers.

Enjoy!

It's a Trap! // 14.01.11

"i don't talk, i don't laugh. i just frown"

Flame, Waka Flocka (1017)

this week? mostly assembly line goon isht 3 colossal bangers from the new Gunplay mixtape featuring Rick Ross...coincidentally the first 3 tracks, the rest is trash Bust Your Heart = the new Hard in Da Paint speaking of... a few semi recent semi classic Flocka jams a bunch of Juicy J/Project Pat...J's Rubba Band Business mixtape produced by Lex Luger is sporadically brilliant plus some Wiz/OJ/Gucci/Jackie Chain/Uncle Murda/Ra Diggs

next on the agenda: ep8 - miami bass/electro/hyphy e9 - alabama mix #1

btw that ice cream cone Gucci Mane recently got on his face is, well, erm... nuts. Reminds me of that 30 Rock episode. You know the one?

observation: Khalifa's Black & Yellow is apparently a massive hit. Why? Sounds like a passable mixtape number to me.

show 9: we've been let out again

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 13.01.11

Well, it's been bloody ages hasn't it? Santa brought us those blood tests we asked for since Dad starting giving it the "you're not my sons!" shite again when we got home for the holidays, and they've proved that we are indeed Patrick Stewart's Sons. You'll also be pleased to know that we continue to be awkward in every situation,in every possible way.

To ease you back into our schedule we've decided to be very original and do a "BEST OF 2010!!!!" show. I got Kanye West's album for Christmas so expect plenty of that, and I hear that Chris can't stop spinning "Wide Awake" by Joe McElderry... IT PROMISES TO BE GOOD.

Whose Responsible This? // 13.01.11

DUH HUR WHAT? Whose Responsible This? is returning tomorrow for part two of this broadcast year's run of programming. Expect much conversation, music and less restraint since my tolerance for anything anyone does anymore is shitting itself into a slow ultra-vegetative coma. Things I hate this week: Hustler making Simpsons porn, weather toothpaste, Phoenix Jones: Fat Fuck and why you'd waste investments in an anti-pirate laser when a gun probably will do just as good.

You probably like sports too. You're fat.

The Red Room // 12.01.11

In our first show of 2011, we were in a tremendous mood, having just attended a gig by a wonderful local band, and having consumed a considerable amount of fermented vegetable drinks!

In this show, we discussed Xmas presents, Hogmanay, and the ease of attaining nookie in a certain local venue. We also discussed our upcoming gigs and experimental film nights, the merits of looking sharp in front of adults, and Jenny's encounter with some hypocritical toffs in a restaurant.

In addition to all this, we also discussed the films of Billy Wilder, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock and more! Enjoy.

allen ginsberg and the zone of ablation

Initial Itch // 10.01.11

Rob's away in Goa this week so Steve had full rein of the show. And what a show it is! Allen Ginsberg battles Crystal Fighters, Matt Cardle battles Biffy Clyro, and Steve asks a particularly pertinent question given Rob's absence, "who's gonna sit on your face when I'm gone?"

In other news, we returned to Toad's Caravan for a report on The Zone of Ablation, an exhibition bringing together illustration, animation, street art and a remarkable approach to curation.

Finally, in the run up to The Belief Project, Flatrate's new production for the Tron, we also asked our interviewees what drives them, and whether they believed in what they were doing. Listen on to find out!

Next week Rob Drummond make an appearance to talk about WRESTLING, his bad-ass new show for The Arches. We'll also have Craig Porter talking about Raindog's new production for the Tron The Ushers, and Mark Buckland from Cargo Publishing who'll be discussing the launch of their new e-book service.

wankers united (disques mazout))

Foreign Thoughts // 14.01.11

Randy Barracuda says “its an attitude”, Mesak calls it “retard electro funk”, Sprutbass says its “positive, unpretentious” and wiki just pinned it in a paragraph.

This is not London centric, po-faced or steely electronic music, its awkward, homemade and ramshackle. The sound palette has as much in common with Megadrive game soundtracks like Streets of Rage or Road Rash than DMX Krew’s synth geekery. Each record is so different, from the galactic low end perversion of Slugabed or Shlohmo, to the 8 bit g-funk of Pavan or Box Kite.

Skweee has the ability to confound, as Randy Barracuda says “its slow but complex”, subverting whats considered club music and spilling all its synthline juices onto its favoured format...the 7”. It has a totally community feeling to it and the artists really egg each other on, the releases are small and there isn’t loads of money wasted on press.

I sent a series of questions to skweee labels and artists. This is the first in a series of interview sthat take the form of both text and audio. The audio interviews will be part of an upcoming show with exclusive mixes and musics from Wavy Graves and Ben Butler & Mousepad.

//Wankers United ( Flogsta Danshall, Harmönia, Disques Mazout)

Whats your name? Who are you?

My name is Wankers United and I'm an arrogant french guy responsible for a few tunes on the funkin' fresh skweee labels Flogsta Danshall and Harmönia. I also founded Disques Mazout with the help of my brother Poborsk. We released a few 7”s by Cuverville, Poborsk, Daniel Savio, and soon V.C. We both run this Cuverville project aswell.

How would you describe what skweee is, or what it could be?

Skweee is a monster! It is the Scandinavian Synthetic Funk, or conflict RNB, or Kebab Krunk or whatever... It is mostly made out of synths and usually is slow on the tempo. It is the perfect blend between the good and the bad. Though it's good not to try to describe it too much because it can lead to integrism which is not so good. Grand Wizard Randy Barracuda said «Skweee is an attitude »

Who or what is proto-skweee?

Skweee from the past. Here is an awesome mixup by Frans Carlqvist aka Limonious aka Pavan himself! http://s3.amazonaws.com/luckymedia/_MIXTAPES/39.mp3

Do you love skweee? If so why, if not why not?

Hell yeah i love skweee. I do because it helps me not being too ashamed of making tunes.

Where is it all going? It seems like fewer skweee records are being made at the moment, or am I just being dumb?

Yea i think you're dumb. Lately there were american labels (Poisonous Gases, Losonofono, and soon Digital Vomit) pooping out 7 inches and LP vinyls! I highly recommend Daniel Savio's Nekropolis LP on Losonofono.

Where, when, or who was there when you first heard/performed skweee?

That was a few years ago. I was following Mesak on Klakson, and i really loved « Back to the Future ». Which led me to Skandinavian Skweee Vol.1 & 2 and to Museum of Future Sound vol.1. And it blew my mind. Then there was this Pixelache festival (a finnish festival i think) in Paris and Mesak & Spartan Lover were invited. That was a great show! Then, as they were in Paris, the 3 of us played at the Batofar's cantine a very very tiny place. And that was fun!

Which skwee label/artists do you favour? What differences do you percieve between the labels/artists?

Flogsta Danshall & Harmönia of course! Favourite artists??? Mesak and Limonious and Savio and Joxaren and Mrs Qeada and Randy Barracuda and Claws Cousteau and Poborsk and V.C. and Sprutbass and...and...and....and.... They're all so goooooood!

Why is the 7” king? Is the 7” king?

The best thing in 7”s is that there's always a B side.

What was the first bit of technology that inspired you? What was the last bit of technology to inspire you?

The very first piece of gear I had the chance to put my hands on was a Roland dr550. It was not mine, but I was the one who programmed it :D That was in the early 90's. Then I bought a Korg Ms10 at the fleamarket for about 20€ (yes), there were feathers and chicken shit on it. A friend of mine opened it and cleaned it for me and I still own it :D

What are you doing today?

The flat needs some cleaning... Having sex would be fantastic!

two thousand and eleven...

2010 left us with a massive massive mountain of good things in the world of Scottish music. All of our old favourite wee bands are selling out massive venues and leaving space for a ridiculous amount of emerging talent. 2011 promises to be a BELTER, and we have some exciting plans lined up for the show. We're back on the 14th of january and we're EXCITED.

Gutter Riddim // 15.01.11

So the festive holidays are over and everyones back to work. But while everyone has been away iv been getting on it gathering a hard selection of grime to play on the first show of 2011.

In the bag this week I'v got a bunch of brand new vocals from the likes of Rival, Marger, Kwam, Wiley and Maxsta. I will also be playing the recent Trim & Bloodline war dubs along with a fine selection of new instrumentals from producers such as Darq E Freaker, Spooky, J Beats, SX, Zdot, Royal T and some unreleased bangers from the Butterz & Oil Gang labels.

This is the show to kick start your new year with a hyped up injection of real grime music!

The Pop Cop // 09.01.11

For The Pop Cop's third monthly show on Subcity, singer-songwriter Roddy Hart came in to perform live on air and tell myself and Big D what it was like to play in front of the Queen, Ruud Gullit and bring in the Bells to 1.2million viewers live on BBC Scotland's Hogmanay show. There was also a disproportionate amount of chat about Jackie Bird.

Source Tags and Mixtapes // 06.01.11

It's our first show of the new year, so the whole Source Tags team (well, Ross, Jordan and Emma) got together for a special two-hour episode to reflect on 2010 in music, playing songs from our favourite albums of last year. Also, we spin a few tracks from underrated/underexposed 2010 albums. In the final portion of the show we look ahead to what the year has/might have in store. A couple of songs from upcoming records are played, giving you an early preview of some promising new music. Enjoy.

Subcity Sessions // 30.12.10

Halloween at the Art School: the perfect setting for a band like 7VWWVW (MAMMAL backwards and upside down, obviously). Their sparse and robotic sounds, supplemented with eerie melodies, set the perfect post-apocalyptic soundtrack for the Dimension B Party.

Whether or not you joined the mutant mob at Art School, this is worth checking out. If this mix wets your appetite, the Edinburgh 5 piece have released material which is available to buy on vinyl or download through Crystal Wish Records.

silk cut

Subcity Sessions // 29.12.10

In October with Halloween looming and much of Glasgow becoming lost under the descending fog of cobwebs, pumpkins, witch hats and devil horns which was thickly clouding the streets, Subcity were successfully managing to avoid choking on all this by keeping busy. Not only by investigating the fractured alternate world of Dimension B (it’s a tough life) but also hosting a party for all its freaks, unknown beings, and costumed oddities who gathered together in the safe if strange haven of the Art School.

Silk Cut’s set provided sparse but upbeat sounds to keep the mutants moving, pulsing minimal techno out into the mist. A fittingly strange and interesting bunch, they are pretty much untraceable, even on The Internet, which has never ever failed anyone in anything before. They’re definitely the Lord Lucan of the Glasgow music scene, except without the whole killing someone thing. Probably. You’ve got to be in the right place at the right time to catch a listen, so keep an eye out for club listings around Glasgow, or check this recording out and shuffle your mangled mutant limbs about accordingly.

The Co-operative // 12.12.10

'Look.' He pulled back the curtains from the window so that Peter could see the bright moon shining on a world of deep snow. 'You see, it's stopped snowing; it's a lovely night now.'
'I know your lovely nights,' Peter said; 'freezing like billy-o, and about a foot of snow to slodge through.'
'It's jolly fine being out in the snow at night,' Kay said. 'You see foxes, white owls and tawny owls.'
'I never heard such rot,' Peter said. 'Do blow the light out and let a chap get to sleep.'
John Masefield

Rosie fends for herself once again in our show on the theme of Sleep. There's a soothing lullaby, a horror-film soundtrack and a spoken word night-time tale set to a jazz score. This week, Tropic Of Clyde sees our heroes lulled further into a strange and snowy world in which they can't quite trust their senses.

For pictures, videos and other soporific curiosities, do look at our blog. You can also join us on Facebook. Send us your ideas for our next show, which is on the theme of Wilderness.

Keep it Simple // 30.12.10

You may have noticed, that its Christmas time! We've been enjoying the presents, merryness and general overindulgence that the festive period brings, so we thought it would be a good idea to share our stories with you!

We'll also be playing some of the best Christmas songs around, no Wham, no Cliff Richard & no Bloke from the Xfactor doing a bad cover version- we're talking Belle & Sebastian, The Ramones and of course The Pogues!

Join us for cracking tunes, Christmas trivia and cracker jokes. (see what I did there!)

Modern Highlife // 15.12.10

Yes its that time again, final show of the year. However instead of some weird remixes of festive crooners or the standard countdowns, Ive just decided to bring along a bunch of records that were big in my box this year. A bunch of them are from this year (Gold Panda, Flying Lotus, Joy Orbison, Ramadanman, Balam Acab, Quest;) but there are still some stellar cuts that are still doing it for me that made it into the set.

All vinyl, live in the studio......Merry Christmas everyone!

This two and a half hour special is complimented by a selection of tracks that have had significance to me in 2010. We are joined, albeit quietly, by henchmen Jamie and Rabenga Dunn, renowned Tarantism groupies.

Disco Disco // 26.12.10

We've got a good episode lined up for tonight. Not only have we got a lot to talk about, we'll be playing some great tunes to coincide. We'll be discussing how Murdo ruined the Lads Annual last week and how our respective Christmas dinners went: Tanner's turkey, Cheesy's chicken, The Big Cunt's cock and Murdo's... mute swan. There will also be some topical chat, certainly including Tommy's trial.

Oh aye, big news: Cheesy has finally made it into the big league of the Glasgow club scene. He'll be DJ'ing in Classrooms tonight. And Disco Disco will be in attendance to make sure he doesn't top himself half-way through the gig. So come down the the studio if you're going out and we'll have our own wee Christmas party.

We're on 9-10pm tonight so get tuned in for it.

patrick stewart's blood and spunk

Subcity Sessions // 24.12.10

Patrick Stewart’s Blood and Spunk - sonically speaking, just a slight misnomer...gross.

Comprising of Splashy the Blame Shifter and Small Scale Collisions, this recording of Blood and Spunk,(what? That’s an acceptable nickname)comes from a Cry Parrot/Subcity collaborative show put on at Nice n Sleazy which saw the combo mash together guitars, feedback, laptops and a shit load of noise. It was loud, punishingly loud. After the show someone said "that was had the most intense use of high end I've ever heard".

Splashy the Blame Shifter is one of the various pseudonyms of Subcity veteran Chris Storey who has made a couple of rare appearances at the station’s noisier events now, starting with our second Soundclash back in March.

Small Scale Collisions (no strangers to the station's output either) are themselve a collaborative effort; producing visuals and original compositions of haunting, drone-y* music.

xmas

The Red Room // 22.12.10

Our last show of 2010 (a two-hour special, none the less!) was permeated by thoughts and reminiscences of Christmas, the past year, and not to mention, an obscene amount of Esquivel!

Jenny regaled us with epic tales of her portrayal of the Virgin Mary in playgroup, her drunken ice skating in George Square, and her immediate family's obsession with Christmas, while Thom recounted the lameness of white people at a Wu Tang Clan gig, his one (and only, so far) attempt at dancing on Hogmanay 2009, and his affections for the Snow Queen.

In addition to all of this madness, we also played some of our favourite underground Xmas music. We hope you enjoy our this very special episode, see you next year!

a shrapnel carol

Screen Shrapnel // 11.12.10

Like Ebenezer Scrooge, this episode of Screen Shrapnel is haunted by the ghost of radio shows past, a one Nicholas Green Esquire. With the golden triumvirate of Fulton, Dunn and Green reunited for one week only we did what we do best. Namely, we set about badmouthing filmmakers far more talented, richer and better looking than ourselves by revealing our stinkers of the year. But first off we got all sycophantic and heaped praise on the performances that moved us most in 2010.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.

raksha

Subcity Sessions // 21.12.10

Raksha has had a pretty big impact on his extended Subcity family since arriving in Glasgow a couple of years ago: he’s played events, he’s not appeared on 1Xtra, he’s inspired one of Subcity’s most adventurous concepts with just a glimpse of his malleable face, and he’s even prompted spiritual epiphanies within the station management through his pseudonym alone.

This recording combines a set of Raksha's own tracks performed live at Nice N Sleazy whilst supporting Hype Williams at a Cry Parrot/Subcity collab show and an interview with the DJ/Producer where he talks about his influences (duh), his early days on Fruity Loops, and how he isn’t musical.

May induce spiritual epiphanies/unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum.

4 hour holiday special! dubstep, hip-hop, grime!

Chungo-Bungo // 21.12.10

80 tunes, 4 hour, this is THE show...

The first hour or so is strictly dubstep and grime with Bungo. Expect dark shit that will make your face crack. Heavy bass style!

And if that's not enough Chungo and friends will be along at 9 to bring you the usual upful vibes and maybe some festive treats too. A very reggae Christmas!

After this we both bang out some hip-hop, then Bungo whips out some more real dubstep bangers until he can't stand at the decks anymore.

Big ups!

Worst Chips Ever

Ding dong merrily etc etc etc!

I AM ALIVE!!! ALIVE!!! Just. And I’m about as well adjusted as a gentleman who has recently survived a horrendous snow laden fifteen hour journey from one end of the country to another (ATP, babes) with only one half of Subcity’s very own Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart for company to be greeted upon returning to his homestead by a DEAD laptop can be.

So chums, a recent plethora of bad weather and bad luck has meant that I have been on hiatus. Apologies.

In a shameless bid to smarm my way into back onto your Xmas card list I have put together two shows recorded live (kind of) in the welcoming environs of my girlfriends flat (I cant afford heating at the minute) to tide you Chips junkies – all 4 of you - over til the new year. It’s an MP3 download type jobby due to me not wanting to anger the good folks at the Subcity I.T department by asking them to upload yet another episode. Thin ice and all that.

OVER THREE HOURS OF UNADULTERATED EAR SYRUP! AND ONLY ONE SONG ABOUT FUCKING CHRISTMAS!!! For Don Van Vliet, whose death upset me so much that I nearly burned down my kitchen in a blubby alcohol sodden mess on Saturday morning when the news came through. Also for my flatmate Kenny, who quite possibly saved all our lives by turning off the hob. This ones for you.

synth's big fat chronological review of the year..

Synth // 15.12.10

So firstly let me apologise for missing last week's show, I did try and make it in, but after getting stuck on the M80 for two hours and finding myself sliding off the road everytime I tried to park, the whole mission just turned into a complete whitey.

However, I made a special effort to make it in to the last show of the year and what a show it was! Don't think I've ever had that much fun in the Subcity Studio (well, at least that I can talk about on here). 60's songs, two minutes a song, ten minutes a month, right through from January to December in our chronological review of the year - it was absolutely MASSIVE! 2010 was truly a great year for music and I think we've captured the best of it here.

Synth on Subcity will be back Jan 12th at the same time with more plentiful tunage and seriously reduced nonsensical chat. Have a great Xmas! x

P.S Remember our blog will still be in operation over Christmas and we still want to hear your music, so get in touch!

christmas episdode 2

Hunks, hunks hunks // 16.12.10

The second Christmas episode, where we invited all our friends and fellow hunks to come down to the studio and enjoy a good old fashioned Hunks Party. Unfortunately no one turned up, except our mate Josh of Wavy Graves fame. We expected more Hunks so we had alot of Wine and meats, so we ended up drinking a little bit too much and the show fell apart a bit.

We played some xmas games, a little karaoke and Josh played us some music.

After the end of the episode, we had the station manager come in and give us our season review, and offered us one last chance to get things right. So, we are using the xmas break to brush up on some radio techniques, and next season will be even better!

Merry Christmas everyone,

Love Hunks x

bobby wilson (equalised) guest mix...

Men and Machines // 16.12.10

We're not able to do the show tomorrow, but instead we have a special 2 hour guest mix from Bobby Wilson, who you may know as one of the Equalised residents. We fist came across Bobby DJing in our local The Halt a few years ago, and he was one of the first guests we had play at Men and Machines in Sept 2008. Since then he's been playing all over Glasgow, at EQ'd in the V Club, Equalised at Stereo, and with guest appearances at Sunday Circus, The Unit, and one of the New Year parties at the Carpet Factory. One of the best young DJs about, he's recently gone back to his Techno routes, so we feel you'll be in more than capable hands for your Thursday night listening pleasure...

Of note are poor-substitutes-for-masturbation South Korean iPhone apps, Japanese space disasters, the winner of the house designed to make existence hell itself in an undead world and the proof that "Rule 34" needs to be expanded to include a great many more things. It's broadcasting with sufficient amounts of new Tron music from 14:00 on subcity.org. End of line.

gus da hoodrat (banggang deejays) @ rpz

RPZ

On Wednesday 22nd Dec RPZ presents Gus Da Hoodrat (Modular/Bang Gang 12"s) at Stereo Cafe Bar on Renfield Lane.

Gus Da Hoodrat is one of the founders of Australia's Bang Gang deejay team - and a genuine red-haired Scots lad! After breaking out in Australia through running a notorious series of monthly parties, the Bang Gang formed their own label in 2005 and began flexing their creative muscles with a series of release that were spun by deejays all over the world. These Australian dudes scored further international notoriety on the back of two spectacular mix CDs for Modular Recordings - LSD (Light Sound Dance) in 2007, and D is for Disco, E is for Dancing in 2008.

RPZ have a long-term fanship with the Bang Gang duo Gus Da Hoodrat and Jamie Doom, having had them as guests on three previous occasions in Scotland over the last four years, as well as hosting an insanely memorable main room at Death Disco with their fellow Banggang-er DJ Ajax (whose label Sweat It Out was behind the Yolando Be Cool mega hit "No Speak Americano").

Since their last visit in 2008 the Bang Gang guys have been pretty damn busy - Hoodrat in particular has created a trio of absolutely astounding Finger Prince podcasts while BangGang 12"s have achieved international critical acclaimed for their label with releases showcasing the fertile and ever expanding talent on the Australian dance scene - Bag Raiders, G.L.O.V.E.S., Muscles, Flight Facilities, Light Year and Cassian - all of whom are regularly played out by most Glasgow underground clubs and deejays. But not satisfied with spinning out amazing tracks as a deejay and releasing some of the most interesting new dance artists on the Bang Gang label, Hoodrat also creates some fantastic music of his own under the PRINCE FINGERS moniker. His recent self titled 12" release on Bang Gang 12's has been creating demented levels of excitement, with none other than Tiga remarking that Prince Fingers is "the sound of the future".

www.banggang.com.au

RPZ are quite honestly shaking with excitement at having this Aussie dude back in Glasgow and are looking forward to one blistering night of digital euphoria, one last chance to rattle our bones before the clubbing population sit down to a full week of xmas food and over-indulgence. The support duties as always will be ably handled by RPZ team Hushpuppy, Bonjour Boi and Joe Crogan. By now you should know to expect on the very finest selection of irresistibly danceable diskotecas, street-beat boogie, cybernetic soul, galactic disco, Rimini sound, italo stylings, Oz-matic house and delinquent tech-beats all accompanied Crogan's dazzling manipulation of video-loops and eye-popping polygonal animations.

RPZ - making laser beams, in your dreams.

heroes

The Red Room // 15.12.10

For our last show before we take a well deserved break (aside from the super exciting upcoming Xmas special), we decided to focus on the subject of Heroes; the people or groups who have changed our lives, influenced us in countless ways, and given us unmeasurable amounts of happiness.

We selected a small portion of our Heroes and showcased some of their best work for this episode; and, in what is quite possibly another in the long line of firsts for The Red Room, Jenny gets to speak for a reasonable amount of time without being interrupted/silenced by Thom (most likely due to the fact that he was exceedingly ill).

Also, this show contains at least one piece of music that reduced Thom to tears, live in studio. See if you can guess which one it was...

initial itch winterval special

Initial Itch // 13.12.10

Like a gazillion presents around the country, the show's wrapping up, so we're getting all festive. Guests this week include Santa and Jesus who'll be in the studio silently monitoring proceedings, but if that isn't enough, we've also got Cherry Loco who's on to talk about his gig at the Classic Grand. It's called Cherry Loco's Twisted Christmas, and it's a variety night of fire-eating, glass-walking and burlesque. It's all very wrong and depraved, so have a listen as Rob gives Cherry a roasting over 'objectification in burlesque'.

But we didn't stop there. Lee Ivett also made it in for a chat about The What's New Nad/Bax 60 Hour Shop. Lee is one half of Nadfly and Baxendale, and he's on to tell the story of how he gathered together half the city's artists and convinced them that, in the spirit of Christmas, they should basically give away their work to the people of Glasgow. Music's gone festive too, with Yuletide tuneage from Sufjan Stevens, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and John Lennon, from our own guys Daisy and the Pollen Counts (Who have put out a lovely little Christmas ditty this year for FREE!) as well as prospective Christmas No. 1 Cage Against the Machine.

Finally, Steve couldn't make it this week due to being a finalist in the Poetry UK Slam! Championships 2010 - well done Steve! So as a tribute we've included Steve's reading of arguably his finest poem 'Whimper'. Merry Winterval!

the end of 2010! + sascha rydell (fachwerk)

Animal Farm // 14.12.10

And so, another year is ending. we've had some great guests on the show this year and we'd like to thank them all for their quality mixes!

For the last show of 2010 we have yet another exclusive mix from Berlin based Fachwerk records up and coming stars SASCHA RYDELL. Along with label boss Mike Dehnert, Sascha has had a string of releases on vinyl & digital this year pushing the tougher Berlin sound whilst keeping his production bound with deep, mutating synths.

As if you could forget! We have electronic pioneer A GUY CALLED GERALD gracing the next Animal Farm @ The Sub Club helping us celebrate out 6th birthday! In honour of the big lad we'll be taking a trek through some of his music past & present, giving you an idea of what to expect!

We will also be running a competition for guest list slots so make sure you TUNE IN !! (dont worry the question wont be as bad as guess our combined age again....!)

Thanks to everyone who has tuned in this year, it's been a blast.

See you in 2011!!

round up of 2010

Well the new year is rapidly approaching us and with this being the last show before the break I thought it would be the perfect time to review the best UK music of 2010, and what a year its been!

From well established MC's with vocodded voices signing Electro Pop on MTV to the new generation of young grime entrepreneurs hitting the raves and doing what they do best, spitting rapid flows over deadly new productions.

This weeks show is all about listening back to the good the bad and the ugly.

Bring on 2011.

things i found this year...

This week, it's the penultimate episode of Source Tags & Mixtapes before the Christmas break. Ross reflects on the music he's gotten into over the past year. There's a lot of "better late than never" moments here, plus some newer music and a couple of exceptions to this week's theme. Emma assumes co-hosting duties this time, choosing The Wrens for the "I Care Because You Don't" feature, providing yet another musical avenue for Ross to explore.

Subcity Sessions // 13.12.10

The Internet has no seasons, so don’t expect many references to the current weather or season. This is hardcore Internet music provision, so close the curtains, shut the blinds, or alternatively stare at the computer screen while your audio player of preference moves towards the end point of this recording. Perhaps if I set the scene for you, give you some visual aids, it might make you feel more at ease.

Some Subcity contributors took one of their favourite bands on a road trip to a small westerly village called Ardentinny. We set off early in a van full of instruments and recording equipment. The skies were clear and blue, it was one of those last days of summer, the temperature getting slightly cooler and the bloom of nature beginning to fade.

We recorded some tracks in the town hall and in the garden of a cottage that overlooked the loch. The village is located on the banks of Loch Long, so we set up and recorded a 13 minute performance of A Boat by Tangles on the beach. Ricky Egan, the guitarist and songwriter for Tangles, recommends Milkdrop for Winamp as your visual aid for this section of the recording because “its the trippyest".

Ricky runs a blog with Joe Howe (from Ben Butler & Mousepad) dedicated to fusion jazz, they are trying to reclaim the genre by highlighting some of its best shredders. When I interviewed Ricky, he told me he was “practicing in 6/8 time signatures a lot. I was watching a documentary about Miles Davis and he said that 6/8 is the funkiest time signature, I tried it out with my new drum machine and he was right, everything sounds great in that time signature. I really want to start a proper fusion band, so I need to practise...right now my riffs are like Robert Fripp’s but a bit slower".

Ricky learnt to play guitar in a band named after him: Teenage Ricky. They were a fun punk rock band, a lot of fun to watch and a wee bit daft. Tangles are fun, but sound totally different. Their releases to date have all been on tape, the Sweet Jams EP came out earlier this year and a release via UUU tapes is planned for 2011. Its melodic, psychedelic stuff that's quite beautiful.

no sleep feauring exclusive promo_ martin dawson

No Sleep // 15.12.10

No Sleep step things up a level this week as they welcome one half of epic production duo Two Armadillos Martin Dawson on the show. Martin Dawson plays a integral role in the European deephouse scene with multiple releases across Sasses mood music, Cocoon and a pending release on 20:20 vision , its not difficult to see why this man has done so well for himself. No Sleep has received this exclusive mix due to drop on 20;20 vision in the next couple of months. Also Martin is due to play no Sleep birthday lineup on tbe 15th April so this mix gives listener's the perfect opportunity to see the man in action, for his much antipated Glasgow performance ........

9 - dancehall riddims part two!

Chungo-Bungo // 15.12.10

We had a bangin' time last week putting out our Dancehall Riddims special, and didn't get to play even half the tunes we wanted to, so we thought, why not just keep on going?

Features include a load of fresh dancehall from 2010, and another EXCLUSIVE TRACK from Edinburghs own Riddim Tuffa.

This is an extension of last weeks Dancehall madness, with features including Bungo being robbed by a vending machine, and Chungo saving him from a Rubicon-less hour in the Subcity sweatbox.

Enjoy!

Disco Disco // 12.12.10

Right, we have a shit-load to cram into the show tonight, which means we'll have a job on our hands getting Murdo to have a go at short stories, instead of the show-hogging length his stories usually require.

First up, reaction to the live Challenge Cheesy from last week's show (which incidentally, you can still listen to at http://bit.ly/eZWw9W). Cheesy managed 4 litres of Asda's finest boost juice, and if you think during the show was hilarious, wait til you hear what happened post show.

The majority of Disco Disco went to Naive at the Arches on Friday night, which was excellent, and a rather random street party out the back of car ensued in Midland Street. We'll be discussing and analysing it all in-depth.

Another thing, or person rather, on the agenda is the burd who won the Turner Prize this year, Susan Philipsz. Cheesy has had the pleasure of working with her in the past, but he believes the credit she is given is undeserved. Find out why on tonight's episode.

Deadbeat Club // 08.12.10

This week's show kicks off with some songs to reflect the recent chilly weather, before we try to tempt fate and warm things up a bit (n.b - recent thaw almost certainly directly down to the song 'Lava' by the B-52s. That claim is Met office approved, so it must be true!!!!!satire!!!!)

Yet more feature puns are squeezed out of desert island discs (yes, that laughter cash cow is still going strong), and a sneak preview into the fascinating world of our culinary supplies leads to a dramatic ready steady cook style climax. Green pepper! Red tomato! Who wins? You decide..

Left Of The Dial // 12.12.10

This week: Chris is joined by a host of hosts from other fine Subcity programming - including Source Tags & Mixtapes, Hooray For Tuesday, Vinyl Cut, Modern Highlife and Screen Shrapnel - to talk in more detail over the year that was. Yep, getting all talk radio on yez. We'd even make it a phone-in, if the studio had a phone. There'll be chat about the year's musical high- and lowlights, both recorded and live, there'll be various trivial detours, there might even be conversational expansion into other media - it's a live conversation, so who knows. Tune in for this meeting of the minds, live at 2pm on Sunday then on Listen Again from just after 3pm.

i don't know what dub-step is

The Black Lodge // 12.12.10

Seriously I don't. This admission makes me feel like the girl with the wonky eye and the glass of cider and blackcurrant at the school dance.

Anyhow, the driving force behind the last episode of The Black Lodge for this year of 2010 is redemption. Red Dead Redemption. (But not actually). Coming of the heels of what some in the business referred to as "The worst thing ever" two weeks ago (ie The Black Lodge Adult Swim Mac Book Pro Freezes on Air Spectacular) this edition will be powered by old fashioned cds and elbow grease.

Expect one or two tracks that were only heard on a frozen skipping loop two weeks ago in addition to the usual offerings of Tom Waits, Devo and others!

TIGER UPPERCUT!

She Said // 11.12.10

Okay, so in the second last show of the year, She Said promises to bring you a splendid mix of loveliness and noisiness. With Derek temporarily out of action Allan wass joined by (ahem) goth legend Josh from Glasgow's finest psychedelic warlords The Cosmic Dead.

Expect the unexpected in all its glory.

a return to friday street

The Funky Cuts // 11.12.10

I promised we would have another go at playing an hour of Non stop sixties grooves from Friday Street with Mikey Collins, Paul Molloy and myself selecting the tunes.

This is the stuff that was played between midnight and two am so it is get the dance floor busy with a bit of an up for it crowd. Watch out for the Motown requests and of course the Friday street perennial request "No drinks on the Dancefloor". Can you tell which record was bumped as someone did place their drink on the table beside the speakers.

As you will see between the three of us we played some classics, some obscure sounds and kept it mostly up tempo.Friday Street is on the last Friday of the month at Blackfriars in Bell Street.

g.l.i.s.c.o on the internet waves

G.L.I.S.C.O // 22.11.10

We've begun.

The G.L.I.S.C.O radio show is a continuation of the G.L.I.S.C.O blog. We can't promise banter, banterous chat, or anything close to being banterlicious, but if you're after that, you're listening to the wrong show.

Similarly, we can't promise that we'll bring you an eclectic range of music. We won't.

Instead you'll get a decent whack of the latest electro, house and disco (Rosie) and a hefty hit of all things a bit wonkier/darker (Josh), along with some excellent interviews from local and bigger name acts.

Live From Las Vegas // 08.12.10

After the Cold War, the AK-47 became Russia's biggest export. After that came vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists.

Nine out of ten war victims today are killed with assault rifles and small arms. The nuclear weapons sit in their silos. AK-47, that's the real weapon of mass destruction.

Bullets change governments far surer than votes.

words per minute and the forest cafe

Initial Itch // 06.12.10

Kirstin Innes is in the studio this week to talk about Words Per Minute, formerly of Creation Studios, but which has moved to the Arches and will have its first night there on Sunday! It's a night of spoken word, film, music and performance, and we've managed put a wee taster together for you, including writing from Kirsty Logan and music from Ryan Van Winkle, Adam Stafford (of Y'all Is Fantasy Island) and Miaoux Miaoux.

You can hear more from them on the night, and you can also hear more by buying the album Ultrachip vs. Forest Closure, which has just been released to help raise funds to save The Forest Cafe. If you know Edinburgh, you'll know the Forest as the city's finest vegan haunt, as well as a place that massively supports the arts, particularly by putting on the spectacular Forest Fringe event. It's free, it pulls in some of the best people working in theatre and performance art and it'll break many a heart if it's not there next year. You can buy the CD or donate to the campaign here.

Pick of the week is Glasgow Podcart's exhibition in the Barras Courtyard Eclectic Peel, and it runs until Saturday.

together we made a mix tape

kaleidoscope // 08.12.10

I asked listeners on the Kaleidoscope facebook page to tell me a song that without fail, no matter how grim, low, beaten, down hearted or dissertation ridden you may be, that after hearing one song normality would be restored. Having previously discussed making my own mix tape on the show, I thought it would be interesting to see what would come if we all chipped in one song to a particular theme. There was a big response to the 'Together We Can Make a Mix Tape' campaign with a broad variety of genres & eras suggested. The end product was perfect for Kaleidoscope...

Click. Listen. Enjoy!

Support Your Local Poet // 02.12.10

Glasgow is covered in snow and no-one can leave their houses for work and uni. Somehow I managed to make the trek to the Subcity studio to bring you some cosy Scottish sounds to listen to while sipping a hot chocolate and watching the snow fall. Romantic! Either that or to calm you whilst your sipping a red bull and frantically studying for your upcoming exams... Probably the latter.

Here are some awesome links for some awesome bands:

The Red Room // 08.12.10

For our return to live broadcasting after last week's mammoth pre record, we decided it would be a great idea to pay tribute to the city of Glasgow; its bands, its venues, and its people. In this show, we played some of our favourite Glaswegian bands and artists, discussed their works, and also their live performances (or lack of!).

We also, in another first for The Red Room, debuted a fantastic track off of local Glasgow band (and dear friends), The Seventeenth Century's first EP, The Seventeenth Century (Part 1), released January 2011. Though we will no doubt return to the subject of Glasgow in a later show (as we barely scratched the surface of what makes up its music scene), we hope you enjoy the small but significant portion of music it showcases, and that it serves as a guide to both local and non-local listeners to the wonderfully creative city of Glasgow.

happy hanukkah

Animal Hospital Monthly Check-up // 13.12.10

What are you doing tonight?

We're off to repeatedly almost fall over onto icy pavements so we can stand in sub-zero temperatures outside a club, waiting to give flyers to drunk people. Such is the life of a pair of dedicated but impoverished club promoters.

As a result, we're dreaming of the warmest place in the whole of Scotland - the Subcity studio.

This month, we'll be filling your cups with the sweet melodies and mulled-wine basslines of Kompakt and Gui Boratto. As frozen water continues to dominate the outdoors, we've decided it's time to snuggle into some warm tech-house blankets, and activate Jason's "hot air" setting.

Come join us, his battery should hold out for a while.

8 - dancehall riddims!

Chungo-Bungo // 08.12.10

We've got a big big big show for you this week.

Deep down Chungo & Bungo are real bashment ravers, we can't get enough of those bangin' dancehall riddims. So tonight we are taking you on a journey through digi dancehall, all the way from Sleng Teng in 1985 to the present day.

With the FIRST AIRPLAY on EXCLUSIVE TRACKS from Riddim Tuffa Sound & Tricky D with an unheard Mungo's Hi Fi remix this show really isn't to be missed!

Big ups!

this week the show is brought to you by the letter

Screen Shrapnel // 04.12.10

This week Screen Shrapnel is brought to you by the letter M. M for Mexico......

Its all tequila dn sombrero's in the studio this week as we shun the snow that transport ourselves to the sun-kissed wonderland that has always been a thorn in America's side. First up is our take on special effects extraordinaire Gareth Edwards' debut film Monsters...a genre-bending ride through an infected Mexico that left your favourite presenters both in a bit of a spin...

We also tackle Robert Rodriguez's Mexploitation blood and guts saga Machete, as he attempts to bring back that Grindhouse vibe that QT and him brought a few years back. With all this chuck in a Leslie Nielson tribute, our Top 3 Debut films from a director and some decent beats to accompany your Saturday morning...what more could you want?!

Next week (Sat 11th Dec) we get into the festive spirit by tucking into our Turkeys of 2010 so far. Who will make the list? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Screen-Shrapnel/151269701561771 Also we spit and stutter our way through our take on early awards contender The King's Speech.

Start your weekend off right by tuning in at 11am Saturday morning.

small scale collisions live

NASA // 07.12.10

This weeks grand packed nasa winter special will be coming in yo faces with our usual dulcet charm + bass heavy beats. This week we are also lucky to be showcasing a rare outing of Glasgow drone merchants Small Scale Collisions. Exclusive live set only here on Subcity.

"Small Scale Collisions are a Glasgow based collaboration who make haunting, impressionistic music that is subtle yet steeped in nascent ambiguities. Re-incarnations of identifiable musical compostion in the form of the guitar or piano are melded with warm digital synthesis to produce a trail of slow shifting discarded melodies underpinned by a sense of reverb soaked grandeur… Playing live, this visceral form of composition is complimented by carefully crafted visual accompaniment designed to mimic the contours of the sounds, taking the focus away from the performer and onto the piece itself…"

Check out their soundclound http://soundcloud.com/small-scale-collisions

If thats not enough of an early Christmas present then fucking check this out: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=176938195650266 I wont guarantee the 'second coming' at this party, but lets be honest if hes gonna come back soon itll be at this! Click attend!

show 8: a subject that scares us both (sorry)

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 09.12.10

Women. Neither of The Awkward Sons know anything about this subject except that our Dad was a hit with them. Big time. Often if they wanted it or not Mam said.

Sadly, his tremendous allure wasn't passed on and we're left with a huge gap in our understanding of the fairer sex and we've decided it's time to address this. Tune in or listen again as we crash through a series of tunes involving our favourite female performers and attempt discourse on what the hell they are all about.

**WELL, WE MISSED THIS ONE DIDN'T WE. APOLOGIES... IT'S HAPPENING THE FOLLOWING WEEK INSTEAD.**

winter

Live From Las Vegas // 01.12.10

Winter:

Snow, oh no.

Outside a blanket of weath'r dour,

a cold gush of white on the lassies pou'r,

whisping winds across heeds dift,

the yellow snow has left me mift,

snow - blow.

Ice, slip.

I lang for the han' of a girlie fair,

who'd kip mae warum in mee wretched lair,

I'd tugg her ha'r and bite her in the maws,

Just like the frost is bitin' mae baws,

icey grip.

Pouthery snaw.

Alas, alone in a winter sae cauld,

Yet a sheepy wool in my mind can mold,

This ewe and this me in naked hot toil'd,

Ock scunty, my best sheets now spoil'd,

Pedo claw.

Subcity Presents... // 07.12.10

Back in October Subcity’s best urban DJs were asked to make some new mixes for MistaJam’s university tour on Radio 1xtra. Unfortunately, MistaJam was hospitalised with repetitive strain injury in his fader finger, so they never got played. We thought these were too good to sit on, so we’ve got in Subcity’s very own MistaSam and Shauny M to rep your end, drop the beats, and TALK IN MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!! Featuring mixes from and interviews with:

// Diggin the 12" Fusing Polish and French hip hop with the movements of the prolific SBTRKT and the dubstep icon Benga, this 15 minutes represents the duo’s take on urban music.

// DJ NoFace Taking some heavy bassline hitters, DJ NoFACE steps from some guaranteed dance floor fillers to one of his own productions.

// Metropolis Sound Including cutting edge D&B music whilst also digging deep in the basement for some jungle classics, this mix cuts the sublimely idiosyncratic production of Instra:mental into some classic drum n bass.

// Sub-Terrain Regularly playing at Subcity parties, Sub-terrain are dedicated to combining the world of bass music, garage, UK funky, grime, dubstep and hip-hop.

// Digital Dust With a mash up of some of the summer's best UK funky and some classic grime cuts, Digital Dust finish this mix with a bassline drop off.

// Tarantism Tarantism is known for bringing the party vibe, and this eclectic mix is no exception.

Expect a show where the quality mixes speak for themselves, and the presenters speak through an echo machine. Bredrin.

Posted at 13:12, 7th December 2010

s'now fair...

Tarantism // 06.12.10

Apologies for the horrendous pun, and apologies for not making the show this evening.

The 'adverse weather conditions', as the press seemed to have coined it, have prevented me from doing the show in the past, and it seems that Jack Frost has triumphed again.

Not to worry, though, as in place of tonight's show, I have uploaded a recording of Tarantism playing the Sub Club last week with Bungo, of Subcity's ChungoBungo, at weekly student night, I AM.

Expect a strange mix of Tarantism's tech and Bungo's dubstep, followed by an energetic last 15 minutes of b2b pure BASS.

Enjoy!

This week, in the spirit of complete political neutrality, Initial Itch brings you MUSIC. Ann Marie Lochrie and cellist Dimitri enter the studio for some moving tracks, some Led Zeppelin and a cello solo.

You can also find out whether Brandon Flowers made the effort for Movember, and Steve'll fill you in on chafing dishes. And despite the commitment to political neutrality, the pick of the week is The Walkout Against Cuts.

Dig Deep // 05.12.10

Fed up of hearing all the usual Beatles songs? Well here's a slightly different take on some of the Beatles classics as Jamie dug deep into his record collection to bring some of the most weird and wonderful Beatles covers you'll ever hear.

A must for all the fans of The Beatles out there and a great opportunity to hear your favourite fab four songs in a funky psychedelic freak-out bossa nova-esque orchestral piece sort of way!

long songs (and one short one, too)

This week, Ross and J-Ham take a break from the regular Source Tags & Mixtapes format to broadcast a show with (mostly) really long tracks. Expect relevant material from Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolves In The Throne Room and Wolf Parade. If you're more of a short-song kind of person, don't fear! There's a pretty short Torche track on here too. Just so you don't feel left out, like.

12: challenge cheesy - live

Disco Disco // 05.12.10

It's pretty much the middle of Winter, or certainly feels like it. So what better way to celebrate the freezing cold temperatures and all this snow by eating lots of ice-cream and telling you what it tastes like. You might be thinking, 'what's gonna be different about it since the last time you all gorged on Ben & Jerrys? [if you happened to listen to that episode last year]'. New flavours. And if we can't find enough Ben and Jerry's to satisfy the sweet tooth of the 4 Disco Disco lads, then we might give something else a bash instead. It'll really be a spur of the moment decision when we go to the shops.

In other news, Cheesy baked a cake today and McMurdle went to Polo lounge last night, with his burd. So we're looking forward to hearing what brought about both of these strange events.

Get tuned in at 11pm or if you'll be tucked up in your scratcher by then, then make sure you use the listen again feature in the near future.

no sleep featuring harvey mckay (soma records)

No Sleep // 08.12.10

This week were very pleased to welcome Soma records heavyweight Harvey Mckay on the show. Harvey has had a big 2010 with a string of releases on soma including the release of his first artist album amongst other successful remix packages recieving heavy plays from the likes of Ritchie Hawtin, Dubfire and Adam Beyer to name but a few. Harvey also played Tea in the Park this Summer and is headlining the pressure room at NYE, with a string of new releases lined up for early 2011 the future is looking very rosy indeed....

If your not already familiar with Harvey sound, his tunes regularly destroy dancefloors across the world, however No Sleep's ethos of keeping things exceedingly deep offers Harvey an intreging opportunity to showcase a deeper side to his sound.

Easy all! Just thought we'd get in touch cos it's been a while... We very much enjoyed our time at the Subcity Party at Sleazys on Thursday night, Amanda played a legendary set as usual and the crowd was well and truly jumpin! Feeling a little delicate today but it was definitely worth it! Friday night sees us joining Rufftrax in the studio for a Sub Terrain versus Bangers and Mashup special, 3 till 4am! Check out Amanda banging out a set in the last half of the show, plus the usual banter us lot always bring to the table! Mmmmmmmm Bangers.....

Saturdays show will see another Subcity DJ joining us in the studio for a guest mix, the one and only Masha who has his own show Masha was Beaming and is one half of Biba Nights, who also played at the Subcity Party and totally smashed it! He'll be providing a wee cheeky mini mix in the second half of the show. We'll also be going way back to 1979 in our 'Year of the Week' feature and apparently Amanda already has a stomper lined up, so you won't wanna miss that! It's looking like it's gonna be a pretty decent weekend all round really... Why don't you come and join us?! POW POW!

Foreign Thoughts // 03.12.10

Rosy cheeked and shivering we came back for the fourth installment of our wee show, and it went very well. We were a bit late and didn't have time for alot of songs but our magical guest Ross Leighton, of the band Fatherson (formerly Energy!) more than made up for it. Playing two of his own numbers as well as a magnificent cover of show favourite Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice, we were in awe. As well as fawning all over Ross Leighton, me and Johnny played some other Scottish treats. Iain Morrison is playing Captain's Rest on the 17th, well worth checking out. Also Broken Records are playing the Fruitmarket on the 16th on January which gives you plenty o time to listen to and no doubt fall in love with their new album. Anyway, I am off to daydream about seeing Frightened Rabbit and Admiral Fallow on Monday.

Love x

The All Day Cheeky Breakfast // 03.12.10

In Michael's absence (due to a bruised arse), stand-up comic Richard Gadd once again finds himself part of another serving of The All Day Cheeky Breakfast.

We discuss if the snow is God's judgement on the homeless, why American news themes can make even the most sombre stories sound inappropriately cheery, and Callum's hidden past as a 'balloon artist' and active forum poster.

Tunes include Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Verve Pipe and The Dandy Warhols.

Also joining us this week is director John May, who's play, La Ronde, is on this weekend. Well worth a listen just to see how well he handles the infamous '10 Questions'. We also make him bark and miaow.

Alas, it was not all good news. The lovely, lovely, Laura from Foreign Thoughts happens to be a Richard Gadd fan. There is no justice in the world. None.

Over and out, Bacon Fries!

For The Pop Cop's second show on Subcity, acclaimed singer-songwriter Beerjacket performed two tunes live on air and gave us some of his infamous 'between-song chat'.

mick wills will mix this saturday 10 - midnight

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 04.12.10

This week on Theez Boyz R Athletes, we'll be presenting you with a mix from none other than Mr. Mick Wills. Soon to arrive in Glasgow to entrance the dancefloor at the next Slabs Of The Tabernacle Event (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=103131446423636), Mick was more than happy to give us the green light to play out one of his exquisite demo mixes.

Younger brother of Bruce Wills, Mick strove from an early age to carve his own unique path in life. Whereas Bruce chose to dawn blood spattered vests, jump down air vents and shout "Yippeekayay!" whilst blowing various things up at Christmas, Mick chose to bring about world peace and increased homelands security through music. So it was at the tender age of 14 he set off, with nothing but a 10% discount voucher for Hardwax in his pocket, a pair of Technics under his arm and a gritty determination not to blow things up at Christmas. His journey has been a long one and his obsession with music that started as a child has brought him far. In the two decades he's been Djing, his electro-minimal, vintage Chicago, Detroit, italo, hi nrg, and acid fusing sets have thus far damaged no municipal buildings.

Tune in to hear this fantastic mix live at ten, or catch the show any time after the event at www.subcity.org/shows/theezboyzrathletes and then get thee to La Cheetah on Queen Street to see (and hear) the man in the flesh.

Yippeekayay!

we rule the school

Students for Scarves and Charm // 28.11.10

Though most historical and religious texts are in agreement that St. Andrew was not a fan of indie pop (he was a death metal man), it would mark me a poor Scot if I didn't commemorate our national saint's day with the obligatory Scottish themed show. This week's tartan tinged extravaganza takes a retrospective look at Scotland's fine history of indie pop bands from The Vaselines and The Pastels through Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura to young pretenders such as The Second Hand Marching Band, The Felt Tips and The Just Joans.

This week's Unsigned Act is a double bill of Glaswegian talent, featuring both Peter Parker and Annie Accidental (who sound like a crime fighting super duo if you say their names together). You can hear more from Peter Parker here: http://www.myspace.com/peterparkerglasgow and Annie Accidental here: http://www.myspace.com/annieaccidental . You can also download SAD free and legally here: http://www.thesixtyone.com/annieaccidental#/artist/AnnieAccidental/songs/

Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook celebrates Camera Obscura's "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken", a song of near-Motown levels of genius that, in one bold gesture, shed Camera Obscura's reputation as Belle & Sebastian's little sister and established Tracyanne Campbell as one of pop music's finest songwriters.

Don't forget to head down to Bubblegum Record's Glasgow Popfest this weekend for a drool worthy line up of amazing Scottish and international acts plus some awesome DJs: http://www.bubblegumrecords.org.uk/glasgowpopfest.html

Note: This is a music only prerecorded show.

snowed in.....but do not fear

Synth // 01.12.10

Yes, after wishing on some monumental Arctic blast last week it seems my wishes were granted and then some. I've been snowed in for three days which means I couldn't get down to the studio last night to present the show. However, the ever willing Killer Kitsch massif were on had to deliver the goods.

Pushing the best electro, house, techno and em, drumstep, Euan & Dave brought the filth for two hours of highly entertaining radio. Big exclusives from Reset!, Drop The Lime and Ado, plus a twenty minute mix of Mash Up Madness from Euan certainly helped bring the heat on an otherwise frosty Wednesday evening.

In otherwords, it was pure dead bangin' like.

Remember, Killer Kitsch, Muck & Dirty Noise join forces to bring Reset! & Ado to Stereo this Friday night. Check the Facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=170838169609953

Hunks, hunks hunks // 02.12.10

Between travelling the cosmos in isolation tanks, going for expensive din dins, and questioning wether the idea of grand narritive is relevant in todays post-hunk world we also made a radio show . We accidently deconstructed the very medium of radio this week, but we soon made up for our mistake by literally reversing the start of the show.

After winning back the audience, we then resumed the show in the style of cool Djs, but couldnt pull it off, tried to get a live interview, and reverted back to being plain ol Hunks hunks hunks.

Once back in our cosy yet hollow roles, we debuted a new segement, Hunks in the kitchen, givin you free cooking tips, so you aint a turkey, when your cooking a turkey!

We also covered Fraiser Cranes ending theme tune this week, with a special hunk twist.

As my good m8 Jean Froncois lyotard said:

“Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity toward meta narratives. This incredulity is undoubtedly a product of progress in the sciences: but that progress in turn presupposes it. To the obsolescence of the meta narrative apparatus of legitimation corresponds, most notably, the crisis of metaphysical philosophy and of the university institution which in the past relied on it. It is being dispersed in clouds of narrative language elements--narrative, but also denotative, prescriptive, descriptive, and so on. Where, after the meta narratives, can legitimacy reside?”

“Shut up Jean Francois” I said. “I can do what I want.”

as juvinille said “hey theres a lot of gurls at the party, but you the only one that im looking at shorty”

Metropolis Sound // 03.12.10

Ez Folks...

On this weeks Metropolis Sound we've got an exclusive mix from former Nerve Records boss Paul Reset to showcase his new Phuture Labs project.

"Phuturelabs is a Glasgow-based collective built on a shared love for strange electronic music, new technologies and gadgets.... September 2010 saw the launch of the Phuturelabs label. Releases on the label are available to download for free courtesy of the Creative Commons license and style wise the label’s policy is fairly wide, ranging from house and techno to dubstep to garage, IDM, electronica and everything inbetween."

I've also got a ridiculous amount of new D&B releases to get though aswell, including the new Break and Genotype albums, brand new 12"s from Rockwell, Morphy, Data, Seba, Despot, Fracture and Neptune plus the much awaited "Geazy" by Need For Mirrors featuring Stapleton MC.

Plenty to look forward to...

Left Of The Dial // 05.12.10

This week: we reach the conclusion of our epic albums of the year countdown - nicely timed to coincide with the arrival of just such lists from several respectable publications, I think you'll find - and reveal Left Of The Dial's ten favourite albums of the best year for new music in a long, long time. Seriously, these albums are so good, they're better than LCD Soundsystem! Better than Four Tet! Better than Robyn (shut it)! Oh my stars, what could they possibly be? All will be revealed, Sunday, 2pm.

men & machines manuel gottsching special

Men and Machines // 02.12.10

We'll be doing a 2 hour special tonight on Manuel Gottsching, we we have playing at Stereo on Dec 11th. We'll be taking a look at his music over the last 4 decades, the various artists he's inspired, and we'll have a competition to win a couple of tickets to the gig as well...

Here's a preview/interview with Manuel from The List:

This is a coup and then some for the team behind Glasgow’s Men & Machines club night. Not only has Manuel Göttsching never played Scotland before, but he only plays about two or three gigs around the world every year. ‘I’m usually too busy with other projects or working in my studio,’ he says on the line from his home in Berlin, ‘but they asked me, I thought it sounded interesting, I’ve never been there before.’

For fans of vintage krautrock, the Kosmische sound of space rock and pioneering electronic music and minimalist composition in general, Göttsching is something of a minor deity. As a member of pioneering trio Ash Ra Tempel in the early ‘70s alongside Klaus Schulze and Hartmut Enke and then his own splinter version of that group, named Ashra, he was instrumental in a strong catalogue of spaced-out and ahead of their time psychedelic albums. These include 1972’s Timothy Leary-assisted Seven Up and 1973’s Starring Rosi, while his own 1984 album E2-E4 was a heavily influential piece of early, Eno-esque electronica.

Now he recalls those early days with a laugh, when Ash Ra played on equipment bought by Schulze in London from Pink Floyd’s technicians because they couldn’t afford to buy gear in West Berlin: a city where ‘the clubs had no closing times, and all the young people came because there was no call up for national service in the city.’ Here he promises a mixed solo programme of guitars and electronics, featuring ‘part of my (2005) composition Die Mulde, which has only been performed once before, and some of my older titles from the 1970s.’ It promises to be unmissable.

guest mix - oliver deutschmann (vidab records)

Animal Farm // 07.12.10

Yet another EXCLUSIVE mix for us here at Animal Farm! OLIVER DEUTSCHMANN - VIDAB

For the past few years Oliver Deutschmann has been an integral part of the techno and house scene of Berlin via his label Vidab, studio productions, and djing. His huge passion for music was injected at a very early age. He spent most of his time recording music from radio stations on tapes, spending all his money on vinyl and doing compilation tapes for his friends.

His first contact with techno music was in the early 90s. Some friends took him to a club in Southern Germany called Oktan. He immediately felt the power of the beat that took him on a whole night dancing journey. Oliver has always been impressed with the vibe of the techno-community and its power, which freely places in the hands of the dj the responsibility of selections, enabling him to play with the wide borders of techno and house music. Small parties followed where he was increasing his skills and so he got „discovered“and was booked to more and bigger parties and clubs. The reputation grew and he was booked in clubs like the WMF, Globus/Tresor or the Maria. During those days Oliver also began to organize parties by himself at clubs such as the Goldengate Club Berlin.

Producing electronic music was the next natural step, and in the beginning of 2007 he co-founded the label Vidab-Records, distributed by Kompakt, together with his partner Stephan Hill. Since then, Vidab is releasing permanently and the number of people who share the musical vision of the label is growing constantly. As of January 2008 Oliver and his partner Stephan are also holding their Vidab label nights in Berlin’s Panorama Bar with a lot of more good things to come in the future.

a modern day shackelton

Modern Highlife // 01.12.10

Back after a week off and raring to go!

Tis the 1st of December and Modern Highlife brings you the first of several fantabulous shows to accompany your weather woes. So why not emulate those of your parents and ancestors....turn off the lights, huddle up and turn on the wireless (or in this case laptop).

Tonights show features plenty of beastly bumps in the form of those lads from Berlin; Brandt Brauer Frick, a brand new Joy Orbison cut which takes us to Detroit and back. And speaking of Detroit watch out for a Carl Craig of Ramadanman that is Biiiiiiiig!

Favour your music at a slower pace? Try some eccentric UK hiphop from Jai Paul...or some electric/swing/folksyness from Gruff Rhys (very nice!). All that, much more and a vintage Roy Ayers track! What more could you want!

Enjoy

it's snow, not the devil's frozen man-seed.

Whose Responsible This? // 02.12.10

I bring you further offerings on the dinner table of Whose Responsible This? On this week's show, lamentations on Pittsburgh's police force, insane spacial claims of ownership, what drives a man who pwns to sit in his own butt fudge and a round up of brief stories. I shall do this, with music in the mix and scrutiny by an authority I'm not even sure I can mention but might be able to mention until tomorrow during the show and no I'm not making this last part up because I don't know how this works... It's coming to you, Thursday 2nd December at 14:00 GMT on subcity.org.

bailar? mon, dance with us

Jackie your Body // 01.12.10

After being sent a baile-funk booty record a few weeks ago, I've decided to mix up the genres in this show. Baile funk derives from Miami bass as does Ghettotech therefore it's going to be a fusion of the genres, baile funk in the first half and a special mix of Ghettotech from Data Rape, of Subcity show Banjax, in the second half. So if your favela is covered in snow just like mines then listen for some tropical and humid vibes. It won't be sweaty, no one likes sweat. It'll be hot, really really hot.

agnes (live)

No Sleep // 24.11.10

In tonights Podcast No Sleep goes back to there roots to give listeners an insight into the music of the man that encouraged us to start the project. Swizz Deep house legend & globally respected sthlm Audio boss, Agnes. Agne's sound is immediately recognisable, unique however maintains a simpleistic yet origional vibe that is sadly missed in much of todays droney and unexciting house music. We start the show with the first 30 min of a recent live show he recorded at studio 18 in Amsterdam. From this short sample of the mans sound it is eassy to see how talented he is.

We hope to bring him back over towards the latter end of 2011 to play live, following his amazin 2 and 1/2 hour dj set he provided at our opening night back in May, at the La Cheetah Club. We hope he can bring over one of his exciting new rising stars with him, in what would be a mouth watering prospect :)

check out material on sthlm audio, variance, Eklo, Tsuba, Sharivari, Hudd Traxx, Plak (personal favourite of mine)

For the second part of the show Jonny and I chill things right out displaying a more chilled dubby side to our sound whilst still maintaing that groove

Enjoy

alex south: the philosophy of habits

Headlights // 30.11.10

We are what our habits are. This could be the motto of today's Headlights, this time with Alex South. (And without Indra who got stuck in the snow) Alex is currently teaching HATII courses at Glasgow University and his own interest is in the philosophy of habits. And hence we are discussing how we can define habits, how we can become aware and eventually change habits and much more.

On top of that we are also very delighted to actually play music that is not just picked by our guest but also performed by him - as part of his engagement in the One Ensemble Orchestra and the Scottish Clarinet Quartet.

david lynch

The Red Room // 01.12.10

In what is perhaps our best show yet, we recorded a two hour special focusing on the works of David Lynch; discussing our favourite Lynch movies and TV shows; playing the gorgeous, cool, and in some cases, terrifying music from them; not to mention experiencing a strange spirit presence which occasionally interrupted our discussions...

Also, in a first for The Red Room, we were joined by a very special guest; American singer-songwriter/mad scientist of music, Thomas Truax, who chatted to us about David Lynch and played a few songs in studio, ranging from unique cover versions to bizarre, wonderful originals.

We hope you enjoy listening to this show as much as we enjoyed making it.

rolling through the new grime

Gutter Riddim // 04.12.10

Over the past couple of shows things have been focusing more on the old school side of UK music with Renegade in the studio last week for the Jundle DnB special and Deviant Institute up the week before spitting over a mix of retro grime hits.

During these shows my collection of brand new and unplayed grime tracks has been building up and it needs to be exposed! So this week is all about brand new grime music, playing both instrumentals and vocals.

Expect to hear new material from the likes of Badness, Merky ACE, Frisco, Kozzie and Rival as well as instrumentals from Zdot, DOK, Doorly, Teddy and Swindle.

show 7: just you dare try to play "wonderwall".

The Awkward Sons of Patrick Stewart // 02.12.10

The snow is falling all over Glasgow and turning it into a death trap for those on the streets, on the roads and even in their houses. For those very reasons, we've decided to bring warmth into your life with our dulcet tones and a selection of the finest acoustic tunes we can gather on this weeks show - but that's not all! These Awkward Sons will be accompanied in our twiddling of nobs (sic) by a very special (and I mean that in every sense) guest this week. Listen in from 2am-3am to find out who...

You'll have forgotten that you're too poor to pay those huge electric and gas bills that you're running up in no time.

Oh, and if Chris DOES bring his Alanis Morissette "MTV Unplugged" album you will definitely hear a live battering on air.

7 - introducing... bob marley

Chungo-Bungo // 01.12.10

Bungo's away playing the Sub Club so this week I'm on my own.

For the second in our "Introducing..." series of shows I'll be telling you all a bit about Bob Marley, the man who brought reggae music to the masses.

A bit of an obvious choice, I know, but if you listen to the show you'll see where I'm coming from. Every song is a treat.

I've put together a few of my favourite songs by Bob Marley, The Wailers and other artists he's played with. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Big ups!

lack of shows/dj set at subcity on dec 2nd

Codeine Drums

Hey all,

Apologies for the distinct lack of shows lately - between a brutal chest infection, a dissertation hand-in and the snow, I haven't been able to do the past three shows.

But all is not lost! I'll be back on the next show, which is Dec 6th.

Until then, you can check out other broadcasts on the page, and come hang at the Subcity party at Nice 'n' Sleazy's on Dec 2nd, where Jamie and I will be DJing as Codeine Drums.

In the words of Waka Flocka Flame, O LETS DO IT.

Dim Sum // 30.11.10

As the name of the show suggests; a little bit of everything. A journey through some of my current favourite tracks and a couple from the past when I realised I hadn't put together a long enough playlist.

Worth mentioning that the tune that comes in around 1hr02 is part of Subcity's "Most Wanted' and not a selection of my own.

We played a gig last night (Sunday) with the excellent and downright fucking lovely Hype Williams as part of a Cry Parrot and Subcity night at Nice N Sleazy. For those that attended, we thank you and hope your ears are fully recovered. For those that didn't then it's only fair to say that we hate you all, but not as much as we hate ourselves.

Yet, we're a couple of swell guys... Swell, hot guys... So there's a present for you all if you follow the link below. We gave away 40 CD's that contained two mixes: The first by Chris "My Balls Are Totally Different Sizes" Storey, and the second by Anthony "Bloody hell, How'd That End Up In There?" Morrow. Tracklistings for both mixes will be forthcoming, but for now know them as:

1) Septic Baby Invasion

2) Sleeping Makes You Sick

Enjoy responsibly, with some Buckfast in hand whilst misadventuring in a cupboard.

episode 1: and hopefully not our last

The Hammy & Jenko Show // 29.11.10

After technical difficulties last month (not being able to get in the building), we've finally recorded our first show. Hammy starts off by talking about the wedding in Ireland he went to at the weekend, and how he managed to make the mother of the Bride cry. Jenko finds out on facebook that the girl he was texting regretted it the next day, and the question on everyone's lips is asked: is Snoop Dogg still "gangsta?"

We've also got tunes including a leak from the new Dr Dre album, Kanye West's new single and the 50 Cent remix of "Like a G6" (Whatever that is). Oh aye, and we wonder if we'll ever be allowed on again after some of our more dodgy comments - not that they were that bad or anything...
