London born reesie has been living in Melbourne for the last few years. He has been running an underground house event and label called "rizound" which has hosted a string of parties all over city and is quickly gaining momentum. 

Despite not entering the dj world until 2 years ago, reesie has held a love for music from an early age, as he was raised by a mother who has a strong passion for all types of music. Ranging from soul, rare groove and reggae on a daily basis so he really had no choice but to fall in love with magic of music. 

Reesie's sound incorporates the sounds of today, but with a touch of yesterday. Whether it's during production or djing, he's never short of a groove or two.

Welcome to the 11th episode of the Brother Bear Podcast series brought to you by Young Sol.

Goz, formerly known as Mark Christopher has been mixing music out of West Lothian in Scotland since the golden days back in the early 90's. He took a shining to the decks watching his friends spinning tracks before and after all their nights out and at house parties and as the decks were left in his pad he would spend endless hours raising the roof in his apartment. After a break.. in 2014, he rekindled his relationship with music and began buying new beats to jam on the 1s & 2s. I have been following Goz and his constant releases for months now and he never fails to impress me with his selections and transitions. All of his sessions can be found on his soundcloud.

BEARCAST #011 - Goz

Welcome to the 15th episode of the Brother Bear Podcast series brought to you by Young Sol.

Dj "S" is a true ambassador of Jazz and all things Soul. Rooting back to the early days when he was a keen vinyl collector in awe of the legendary artists like James Brown, Barry White, Luther Vandross and Marvin Gaye... He would play their records on his part time radio show in his hometown of Larissa, Greece. His skills on the turntables progressed and matured until eventually earning the title of a professional dj-turntablist, achieving 3rd Prize in the Greek DMC Contest in the years of '92 & '93. In 1996 he joined forces with ‘’Goin’ Through’’ one of the most respected and long-living hip-hop groups in Greece, touring around the country as their official dj and in that time he won 2 Golden Plaque awards as their side music producer. Despite the fact he never saw the light of day as a full time hip-hop producer collaborating with many well-known Greek rap artists, he decided to lend his music passion & knowledge to an upcoming MC at that time, who went by the alias of ‘’Ominus’’ Together they created Ominus & Dj ‘’S’’ rap duet. Since 2002 they released 3 official albums and gathered the praise of critics & fans for their innovative boom-bap sound:
 
Ominus Rissi
Ominus Odyssey
Almost Famous 

From '04 to '08 Stathis was one of the main hosts of the‘’Streetbeat’’ tv show, the most successful hip-hop music television programme in Greece on Mad TV.

In the following years he perfected his craft as a multi-talented music producer, experimenting with vintage black music and reviving old-classics in the form of remixes which made a serious impact among the internet and on his YouTube channel which counts over 25,000 faithful followers! Dj "S" formed a production duet called ‘’Senior Citizens’’ with Dj Chairman who specialise in diggin’ old samples from the 50’s & 60’s and givin’ them a new breath of life. They call this style Adult Oriented Soul. His edits, remixes and reworks are all being played in heavy rotation daily around the world by some all star names. I always use them in my sets!

Huge episode before a short break as i'm heading to Tisno, Croatia for a boogie at SuncéBeat Festival.

This time from DJ Caspa, one of the biggest names in the UK underground house scene! This guy is one of the masters in the game in my eyes and ears... Whilst a lot of acts nowadays get famous for producing their own music, it's a rare occurrence that they get famous for their DJ abilities and track selection. DJ Caspa is one of the latter. Joining the likes on @benufo and @jackmaster, Caspa has broken the mould on skill alone. His Sunday Rinse FM sessions was renowned for showcasing the best new House, Garage, UK Funky and Bass music about whilst sharing the airwaves with the likes of @twilliamsmusic, @loefah, @xxxy and @krystalklear. He has also featured on other shows in the past like Weekend Rush, Pressure Fm, De-javu, Unknown Fm, Magic Fm and he still enjoys the buzz of spinning music for an audience of listeners.

He uploads monthly mixes with promos & releases from some respected names in the scene or other lesser known producers in his network. He is always keen and eager to show support to the producers, Dj's and anyone creating movements around him. Regularly recording guestmixes for major labels and podcasts like House Salad Music, Closer To Truth, Soul Room Sessions and The Underground Sessions.

He has been tearing up the UK since the 90's but has recently played in the Netherlands, Iceland, Glastonbury @ Block9 and is set to play London's Notting Hill Carnival in August.

In his own time, Caspa likes to help underrated artists to find success with their music and has always shown me support with the series since we connected. Big BIG love for him and everything he does.

Esteban otherwise known as Ste Hendry, hails from Liverpool in the UK and has been DJ’ing for almost 30 years. A regular visitor to one of Liverpool’s most iconic music venues, ‘The State’ in 1989 at the time of the emerging acid house scene and frequent visits to Manchester’s legendary Hacienda that same year, he was heavily influenced by the likes of Mike Pickering and Graeme Park in mixing acid house and disco. In 1990 he started playing warm up sets at parties and nights in Liverpool, gaining regular spots at venues across the north west during the 1990s and early ‘noughties’ until hanging up his headphones in 2008 after starting a family.
 
Over these last two years Esteban has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance as a DJ (or mid-life crisis as he puts it!)  - after being asked to join a vinyl night at a local bar in 2016 he was soon offered his own monthly spot at the same venue. Today ‘Esteban’ is all about the nu-disco and edits vibe and has recently provided exclusive guest mixes for the likes of La Vida Liverpool, Spin City, House Theory Radio Show, Disco Daze and Lamb-oh. His love of this genre of music has led to newfound and solid friendships with like-minded disco heads from north of the border ‘Dirty Old Vinyl’ and Goz (Spin City), and he is delighted to share this exclusive mix for Brother Bear and showcase the sounds of some of his current favourite producers.

Episode 82 is supplied by Nathan aka "Time Will Tell" hailing from Rotterdam, Holland.

Playing other peoples music for other peoples enjoyment since 1993.

Darius is a self proclaimed "House Addict". He fell in love with the house sound as a teenager living in Montreal back in the early '90s when he would stay up late on Friday nights and record a dance mix show on Montreal radio. He was hooked from then on. He then proceeded to start mixing with one tape deck and a CD player and never looked back.

When he moved to Vancouver in the late '90's, he started buying records almost daily and spent most of his free time at his favourite record stores at the time, Bassix and Mekanix records. Over the next few years, Darius held various residencies and ran 2 club nights in Vancouver, playing alongside such talent as Lawnchair Generals and Johnny Fiasco, as well as playing at numerous after hours and raves. After getting tired of both the late nights and politics in the scene, he decided it was time to hang up the headphones in the early 2000s, but the love of house music still burned inside of him as the years passed.

In 2013 he decided he wanted to get back into DJ'ing and purchased a basic Pioneer controller and started to collect digital tracks again. Over the past few years Darius has been busy making a name for himself in the underground scene with numerous guest mix appearances around the world on such labels as House Salad, Reason2Funk, Uglyhouse, Little Routine, Selecta Music, Leven Underground and House Jet Radio just to name a few. He also started the very popular "SPEED BUMPS" mix series which showcases his love for hip hop and jazz as he shows his versatility as a DJ by blending mixes of nu jazz, hip hop instrumentals and acid jazz flavours reminiscent of Mark Farina's legendary series, Mushroom Jazz.

He also launched the hugely successful "Soul Room Sessions" podcast showcasing the soulful and jazzy side of house music and downtempo beats with guest mixes from some of the biggest names in the game and the series is still going strong!

In 2017 Darius got his first taste of out of town gigging playing live shows all over the West Coast from his hometown in Vancouver, to San Francisco and Oakland. Stay tuned for much more from him in the near future!
