theez boyz featuring dirty beautiful science

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 10.09.11 // Theez Boyz featuring Dirty Beautiful Science

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!

theez boyz present galaxian's broken britain mix.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 27.08.11 // Galaxian's Broken Britain Mix.

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. An uncompromising approach and non conformist attitude deliver an ever evolving sound which is at once captivating, innovative and forward thinking.

Currently releasing on a number of well respected labels in the USA and UK. An EP recently released on Napalm Enema Records, an album released to rave reviews on premier electro label Transient Force, upcoming EP on DJ Stingrays label Micron Audio Detroit and a host of other exciting vinyl releases due in 2011. Constantly pushing the musical boundaries, Galaxians unique and iconoclastic style continues to solidify his growing reputation as one of the most exciting artists to emerge in recent times.'

fancy & spook live

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 21.05.11 // Fancy & Spook LIVE

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

layman on a solo tip

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 05.03.11 // Layman On A Solo Tip

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.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 12.03.11 // Romance On A Solo Tip

dj squish kibosh mix!

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 29.01.11 // DJ SQUISH KIBOSH MIX!

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!

mick wills will mix this saturday 10 - midnight

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 04.12.10 // Mick Wills Will Mix

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!

theez boyz r athletes tonight!

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 06.11.10 // The Candy Comedown

Hell-o!

After last week's dimensional shift induced hiatus, Theez Boyz R Athletes are back! And we're glad to report that we made it through to Dimension B unscathed. Well relatively unscathed. Romance has acquired a taste for human flesh and Layman's knees appear to be inside out, but apart from that we're A-OK and raring to go!

As much as none of us like to admit it, as we sit around smothered in week old body paint, Halloween (or "Satan Day" as Romance and Layman like to call it) has been and gone. So pack up your sexy monk/sexy fish/sexy bus driver costumes, sweep the mountain of half eaten Freddos towards the bin, let the children out of your basement and join us tonight for some post scarefest mega tuneage.

Join us tonight at ten where we'll be easing you in to our new dimension with tunes from the Dimension B versions of all our favourite artists.

You'd be a ghoul (sorry, fool, Halloween's over) to miss it!

hektor ruiez - theez boyz r athletes exclusive!

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 23.10.10 // Hektor Ruiez - Theez Boyz R Athletes Exclusive!

Following his release from a Tijuana prison earlier this week Hustlin' Hektor Ruiez met up with us on Wednesday to hand over this exclusive 'Woolworths' mix. 45 months inside one of Mexicos toughest jails has done little to alter the warped head of Ruiez, 61, and over a plate of his customary fish and eggs Hektor was keen to put to bed fresh allegations surroundng his private life. Both Layman and Romance were shocked recently to read about claims 'The Quiet Man of Bargain Bin Rave' had spearheaded a plot to secretly convert a Chilean primary school into a meth kitchen. We asked Hekto for answers and he gave us this mix. Tune in on Saturday night for all the sordid details.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 20.03.10 // Italo. Funk. Disco.

It's been a while since Theez Boyz R Athletes indulged our listeners (and ourselves for that matter) in two genres close to our hearts; Funk and Disco. To put things right tonight's show will be dedicated entirely to these musical styles. I'll be joined in the studio by the enigmatic Gary "G-Money" Milne from Subcity's NASA show (http://www.subcity.org/shows/nasa). Expect everything from George Clinton to David Carretta with a bit of DâM-FunK, Midnight Star, Alden Tyrell, Lindstrom et al in between.

Tune in at ten and we'll do the rest.

See you all there.

Theez Boyz R Athletes // 01.11.08 // ITALO DISCO SPECIAL

This Saturday's Theez Boyz R Athletes will be an Italo Disco special. Tune in from 10PM to Midnight for two whole hours of the best Italo Disco I can get my hands on. I'll be playing classics from this highly influential genre such as Spacer Woman by Charlie to more recent Italo Disco influenced tracks like Love Explosion by Alden Tyrell.

If you have any Italo Disco related requests or would like to contact the show for any reason at all, you can email us on theezboyzrathletes@hotmail.co.uk or through our myspace at http://www.myspace.com/theezboyzrathletes

Here's the Wiki blurb on Italo Disco for those who are unfamiliar:

"Italo-Disco is a very broad term, encompassing much of the disco music output in Europe during the 1980s. It is one of the world's first forms of electronic dance music. It evolved during the late 70's / early 1980s in Italy, Spain, Germany, and other parts of Europe, and later influenced most of the 80's disco productions of the world. Italo disco music has a distinct, futuristic and spacey sound, which was created using synthesizers, drum machines, and vocoders. During the 1980s, the term "Italo-disco" was used in Europe to describe all the non-UK and non-US based dance productions. In North America and the UK, Italo-Disco was mostly an underground phenomenon that could only be heard at night clubs or through homemade DJ mixes."

Let the disco commence!
