Beat Beneath // 26.05.13 // bb v stevie beats (gil scott-heron special)
It's time for something a bit different to the usual electronic beats (although electronic beats of course won't be entirely absent...) - the day after this Sunday's show will mark the two year anniversary of Gil Scott-Heron's passing. A musician much-admired here at Beat Beneath HQ, it seems appropriate to celebrate the date with a show dedicated to the man's music. Active from the end of the 1960s right until his death and encompassing everything from his trademark minimally-accompanied spoken word pieces, to emotive soul and jazz songs, and to his recent forays into electronic music with top collaborators, the man's left a huge legacy of great music.
I'm bringing in Stevie Beats, a man much more qualified than myself to pick out his favourite GSH selections. This show will not be televised, but it will certainly be broadcast 8pm-10pm Sunday 25th May.

The next installment of the Beat Beneath V series has been a long time coming - Julius Funkhouser will be taking to the decks on Sunday's show. Glasgow native Funkhouser (Dennis Seltzer-Grant) has been DJing around the city and running the Scenic Tones label for a number of years, recently putting on Missing Persons Club parties alongside yours truly, and as anyone who follows his soundcloud will know he's also prone to dropping some seriously grooving raw house beats of his own making on the regular.
Expect top quality deep house from JF in the first hour, which I'll then be complementing in hour 2 with some recently acquired vinyl including some heavier gear that I picked up in my recent trip to Berlin.

As promised last time I'll be down at the studio despite temporal/geographical/sleep constraints. Two hours of music that I've bought and/or had stuck in my head for the last couple of weeks, and more. Tracks from from Vinalog, Ital Tek, Lumigraph and others.

techno resurrection
Beat Beneath // 31.03.13 // techno resurrection
Due to work commitments it's been a good few weeks since the last show but fear not, BB is returning to its rightful Sunday night slot tonight. It's a pretty ridiculous bank holiday weekend in Glasgow as far as lineups go, so whether you're heading to Omar S or Barnt tonight here's your warm up, or if you're listening later on in the week we'll keep the good vibes going...

After going all over the place with the Best of 2012 show, tonight it's just me in the studio again for 2 hours of the finest techno and house and maybe some other bits and bobs too
