michael forshaw guest mix
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.
