1020 Curated: By unperson

Available here: https://1020radio.bandcamp.com/ 

Since 2015, 1020 Radio has been nurturing Bristol's music culture alongside an inspiring team of local and international artists. Championing creativity, diversity and community has been the driving force of all our projects, and we're excited to bring this to a new medium in the form of our compilation series "1020 Curated"; a showcase and celebration of the street-level sounds of which 1020 is built on.

Kicking off the first edition is long-standing resident and Sheffield based producer "unperson", who has curated a 25 track manifesto featuring the station's artists and associates, where the heritage of Bristol's lauded soundsystem culture provides the foundation for new structures of dubwise rave architecture, whilst exploring abstract sonic territories and monolithic soundscapes.

Available exclusively from Bandcamp on Friday April 24th, the first 25 copies come bundled with a premium 350gsm print designed by Montag Freedoms. All proceeds will be donated directly to the charity ‘Above & Beyond’, raising vital funds to support the wellbeing of frontline NHS staff and volunteers, who are tackling the unprecedented challenge of providing care against COVID-19.

5 Years Of 1020 Radio

Available here: 1020radio.bandcamp.com/

To celebrate five years of broadcasting, Bristol’s 1020 Radio is proudly releasing its second compilation, composed of exclusive tracks by its resident DJ’s and producers. As with the first edition, all proceeds will be donated to charity, this time being received by ‘Creative Youth Network’, an organisation which helps young people reach their potential and lead fulfilling lives.

Across twenty tracks split over two parts, the record explores the role of dance music within the omnipresent theme of night and day. Beginning with harmonious 2-step and ethereal percussion tools, the daytime section evokes balmy landscapes by marrying high definition sonics with the uplifting musical heritage of the Caribbean.

Night falls, and the record descends into the depths of sub-aquatic techno and cerebral bass music. Here, abstract sound design conjures images of dark, cavernous spaces, where biomechanical rhythms are used to echolocate low lit basements, priming you for last-dance manoeuvres in brave new worlds.

More than ever, UK dance music must reflect on itself in order to move forward. Through this compilation and it’s studio community, 1020 sews together the cultural threads of its contributors into a vast sonic patchwork, demonstrating Bristol’s tradition of bold hybridity, whilst musing on it’s bright future.
