The Bside of... Beats Of No Nation

Well, this week has been fun. During a marathon 10 hour take over on EHFM yesterday we had the chance to re-broadcast some of favourite episodes, reflect and reminisce on the about the adventure that it has been, with one eye on the road ahead we took the chance to premiere today’s episode on the airwaves, it’s already a favourite of ours and it looks like our new record label based series is shaping up nicely!

So today we bring you the second instalment in our ‘The Bside of…’ series, a guided tour around our favourite record labels. Showing us the ropes this week is Dom Bird and Jad & The, picking out their favourites exclusively from ‘The Bside of… Beats Of No Nation’ [BONN].
Following on from the first episode with one of the UK’s hottest record labels (Rhythm Section), we’re now going down under to proudly present you one of Australia’s finest. 

BONN, at its inception was a weekly radio affair, a showcase of local talent on Brisbane’s 4ZZZ. As the project grew the collective became recognised as trend setters in the scene, having established their own record label they themselves became the platform for curation and promotion of talent, now attracting amazing artists from across the world. Their most recent release is the sixth edition of their compilation series. ‘Dance Ideas 6’ is just as tastefully curated as its predecessors, an eclectic collection of electronic tracks that remains true to the distinctive sounds of BONN.

This episode is a journey with a rising energy, smooth and soothing house, downtempo electro with that vintage 808 style, a few stompers towards the end, and that deep moody feel all the way through. Thanks to Beats Of No Nation for sharing their highlights from the back catalogues!

About:
DJ Duo, Music Producers, & Event Curators // Making & Transmitting sounds that embody that Slutty 80's-Vampire-Dungeon-Disco vibe.
 
Dose. is the multifaceted DJ & Music project from partners Max & Taylor. Their musical style flows through genre bending Techno that fuses sounds from the Punk, Disco, & Trance eras...into what they call, Sluthouse.
​
Throughout the past several years, Dose. has notably transmitted music at events & venues such as: KitKat Club, HÖR, Georgia Bar Berlin, Yelapa Music Festival, Shambhala Music Festival, Versions, Sled Island, Future Forest Music Festival, Gorgomish, Wicked Woods Music Festival, YamBak, and their own Festival creation Re-Unión. 
They have also shared the stage with talented Artists like: Mystery Affair, Diego Montiel, Adrian Marth, Robert E. Livingood, Esette, Roderic, Hector, Metrika y Balcazar, Saand, Nico Stojan, Blond:Ish, Marques Wyatt, Goldcap, Lion-S.
​
Alongside their DJ bookings & Music Production they have been curating underground events, for over 8 years, in unique alternative spaces. Pioneering their own brand of Techno, in Western Canada, their events have provided a platform to showcase an unorthodox niche of sound. Their event curation also focuses on elevating the way in which people experience dance culture. Dose. expands beyond the scope of traditional expectations; choosing to create unique and visceral Immersive Art Experiences. Their signature style explores the notion of events as Contemporary Art. Through cultivating these experiences Dose. uses their platform to create social commentary, amplify safer spaces & harm reduction, instil conversation, and transmit a conscious message. 
​
Diversifying the stage is an absolute must for Dose. Within both their Music transmissions & Event Curation, it is their strong mandate to always have gender balance & equal representation. They consistently strive to represent fem folk, womxn, & queer Artists. Through this Dose. aims to break down barriers, create new industry standards, & open conversation surrounding the importance of diversity. 
​
Music is their medium & equality is their goal.

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
