Ned Blanders is at it again with a heavy, driving techno mix venturing through sounds of peak time, breaks and rhythmic energy. Inspired by some of the current thriving events based in Manchester such as HOR, Filth and the dmf party this saturday.

Heavy beats start till finish in this episode on behalf of Oscillate Collective.

Oscillate Collective w/ Ned Blanders - 28th January 2025

Next transmission from the outer zones: Xiaolin (Hong Kong) on the next Terra Magica Rec. label showcase, opening her vinyl bag and drops an hour of vinyl-only mix. Progressive trance gets twisted, acid house turns gritty and breakbeats trip over themselves in all the right ways. All vinyl. All magica. No straight lines.
