Mixes

Watch out, Bside incoming!

In this series we ask DJs who cannot join us for a live recording in Scotland to instead send a mix over the web. The internet is a marvellous thing, it's paired us up with guests from Brooklyn and New Orleans all the way to Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Moscow, even reaching as far as Brisbane and Seoul!

Bside Incoming: Athlete Whippet

This time we invite an exciting Berlin based duo behind the Bside turntables to walk us through some of their most treasured records. With two releases on Toy Tonics, a record under past guests Rhythm Section, as well as showcasing music from artists such as Ross From Friends, Baltra and Seb Wildblood on their own Squareglass imprint, we are certainly excited to bring you an episode from such impeccable selectors: Athlete Whippet.

The duo met at London’s Goldsmiths, with a passion for music bringing them together. One now works at !K7, the other developing live sets for the likes of Priya Ragu, Berwyn, and Lapsley; their spare time is spent crafting incredible music with a live bass, guitar, piano, and some hardware synths and samples.

Their Bside selections pay tribute to their influences and musical connections; records on Tartelet, Rhythm Section and Toy Tonics, incredible artists like Max Graef, Paula Tape, Jitwam, and COEO all making the cut. Expect a reflection of their own artistic output which always straddles the line between dancefloor fun and soothing sounds.

If you've been following Le Visiteur for a while you will have hopefully caught some of @athlete-whippet's earlier work on Toy Tonics and Squareglass. This talented Berlin / London duo have been turning all the right heads over the last few years with some properly cool house tracks and now they have landed on the brilliant @thehouseofdisco label for their latest release.

Their Talk About This Love EP features two original tracks and a couple of top of the drawer remixes from heavy hitters Demuja and Aroop Roy. 

To celebrate the release of the EP we asked Athlete Whippet to step up to the LV decks and they have spun this beautifully textured mix together for us which features tracks from the EP.

Tracklist & Interview

Athlete Whippet @ Chicago Calling #139 - Germany/England

In this edition of Gone Fishing, Athlete Whippet first runs a few records to intro the show and then proceeds to interview @ciel_dj on her upcoming 'Orlando' EP - out now on !K7 Records.

In their conversation, Ciel delves into the writer's block she overcame and where she drew inspiration from during the pandemic. She also deepens on her long list of collaborations as well as her approach to collaborating with other artists. Snippets from the EP are included towards the end of the show where Ciel also gives us a sneak peak into other up-and-coming releases.

The Monologues Podcast invites producers to mix an hour of their own productions. Follow our Bandcamp for our label releases at http://monologuesrecords.bandcamp.com 

Slowly but surely, Berlin-based English producer @athlete-whippet's sumptuous sounds have charmed the house and disco world. With serious musical chops backing up his dance floor grooves, it's no wonder Toy Tonics have snapped him up to be part of their family, and his work continues to become ever-more sophisticated and infectious. He treats us to some works-in-progress in the mix alongside some of his tastiest morsels to date.


*How would you describe your sound?*

It’s sort of ever evolving but I’d say the thing that always plays a big role is that it’s very much a hybrid between club music and songwriting. I come from a background of playing in bands to production, and DJing was actually the last piece of the puzzle for me.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?*

Many, many people and things. These days I’ve come back to composing my songs on instruments rather than in the box and started singing a lot more again. I’m also so fortunate to be part of a wonderful scene of artists between Berlin and London which is a constant inspiration.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

It’s been a nice chance to delve back into things from the early days, something that I rarely ever do. I’ve started off with new stuff from recent records which represents my sound now, and then as I build up the confidence, I go into some current work in progress somewhere in the middle before going back to the very roots at the end.

Toy Tonics Radio Show 13 - Athlete Whippet Special

Here it is, ‘Bside Incoming’, our international podcast that showcases the flip side of our favourite DJs' record collections’ who unfortunately couldn’t be with us here in Scotland.

The first selector to transmit their tunes via Bside First Class Delivery is Hungarian DJ and producer -  Gnork. He’s been making a reputation for himself with a distinctive spacey breakbeat sound, and releasing some stunning tracks on some amazing labels such as Church, Unknown to Unknown, Magic Wire, not to mention his own label: Earth Plates.
His productions seem to find a strange balance between peak time energy and a soothing ambiance. Here are some of our favourites:

Blorp93 - youtu.be/uTWZro4mw4w
No Gravity - youtu.be/-27DdIZjhEY
Magic Arpz - youtu.be/V9GWo8I7s3A
Space Jam - youtu.be/UnkErLkUxVc

Gnork's Bside Incoming mix exemplifies his style, drifting through jazzy ambiance, downtempo beats, and floating towards the dark energy that he’s become notorious for.

Expect extraterrestrial vibes with an alien voice to match. Enjoy!

Bside Incoming: Gnork

Our 2nd instalment of Bside Incoming comes from Belfast Dj and Producer Bobby Analog! 

The Body Fusion head honcho is one of the most exciting talents in the Irish scene. Playing on the Boiler Room stage at last years AVA Festival, a stellar performance that helped boost his profile to where it is now.

We had Bobby in for a filmed Bside, which should have been episode 16. Sadly after a great set, some technical issues meant the recording was unusable. Thankfully Bobby, being the gentleman he is, offered to record one for us at home and send it to us for Episode 2 of Bside Incoming.

One of the first tracks that brought him to our attention was his track Luvwomanboogie - https://youtu.be/DKRNdYHF1KA

Boy are we thrilled to bring you the latest instalment of Bside, this time incoming from Germany! This one is sent in by a true inspiration of ours - co-founder of Money $ex Records (alongside Max Graef - another favourite of the podcast), an exciting DJ, and an even more impressive producer ... Glenn Astro! 

Glenn Astro as been behind some truly beautiful musical projects, he is known for his creative and jazzier productions of house. If your unfamiliar with him, a great place to start would be 'Kilometer Disco', on the C-side of his album 'Throwback' where wonkey synths weave in and out of piano chords and saxophone solos. ‘Gemini’, the B2 track of his 2015 release ‘Hologram’, has long been a cherished peice of our Bside collection - a punchy house track full of funky melodies that are sure to tear up any dancefloor. 

This Bside mixtape is a taste of what makes Glenn Astro tick : a multi-genre journey of hypnotic and percussive rhythms. From relaxing ambiance to mesmerising bongos, smooth brass and soothing vocals, to downtempo electro and breakbeat, nu-jazz and reggae edits, all the way through to an energetic burst of pure DnB euphoria. 

Big thanks to Molly Hickey for the artwork. Check out her instagram - www.instagram.com/mollytriesart/

Enjoy.

Watch out. Bside Incoming!! For the 7th instalment of the Incoming series we welcome REES.
Known for his technical versatility and expansive selection, REES has become a household name in DJ booths across the UK & Europe. With smooth mixing capabilities, he is able to span through many different genres with ease - from rattling techno to harmonious disco and house beats, his sets are equally vigorous and unique. 

As well as being an excellent disk jockey, REES has an impressive array of productions under his belt. Speaking with us, he was excited to tell of an upcoming release which he describes as “a breakbeat EP very different to anything I’ve put out before, with remixes from Matrixxman & A. Sagittariun.” Perhaps we’ll soon get a glimpse over on his show on Balamii radio which airs on the second Sunday of each month from 10am - 11am. We’ll be listening carefully.
On top of that he’s the founding father of Paradiso Records. Now it doesn’t take a genius to work out what “paradiso” translates into from Italian… that’s right – Paradise. As label head and hotly tipped producer in his own right REES elaborates, “the philosophy behind the name comes from our admiration of so many different styles of electronic music so we try to display and capture ‘everyone’s idea of music paradise’”. It is an endeavour that has been paying dividends since their birth in 2018, with the imprint regularly putting out top-quality dance music that can vary from gritty Electro to feel-good Disco infused House.

Paradiso are more than just a label too, with the initial idea being “to have a record label accompanied with a blog/magazine type online website where our fans could read up on our latest music, interviews, artist top 10 picks etc.”. They have a string of digital releases under their belt, however entering the physical market is also something high on the agenda for the young label. In the meantime the team have set up a “Paradiso Presents” party series that will see events pop-up across the UK. As REES makes certain, “the main aim of the label is simply to spread emotion and non-stop dancing” – cannot get much better than that now can you?

For his Bside mix he pulls out some of his favourite records. South African synths and Nigerian brass from 70’s and 80’s fill the grooves first, moving into warm italo synthesisers - a much welcomed sound in these cold months. Close your eyes, lay back in that hammock, kick off your sandals and enjoy the sunshine from REES' collection.

Bside incoming: B from E

And here it is, the latest instalment of Bside Incoming brought to you by B from E. Like much of the electronic music emerging from Denmark of late, B from E seems to have an innovative cutting edge to his sound, as demonstrated by the captivatingly progressive dancescape ‘Waves’ on the B1 of his first release with his native Copenhagen Underground Posse. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuIz7RLHrKI&feature=emb_logo)

A year later, and another Bside gem with ‘Positive Sister (2605 Tool)’, a club ready, steady slow burner, this time on Tartelet, another label from the Danish capital with its finger very much on the pulse. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=94&v=w7ynEQZKhuM&feature=emb_logo)

His latest venture, this time the pulsating energy of ‘2605 Brothers’ featuring as a B2 under Italian label 'Traxx Underground’; highly regarded for releasing a consistently excellent offering from the deep and rhythmic of house music since 2012. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NVDhg_M4K4)

Aside from his production prowess, B From E also proves to be a top selector with an impressive record collection. We couldn’t wait to bring you his Bside mixtape, so just relax and allow this Danish digger to wash you clean with some deep and soothing house/techno/electro/trance beats, each infused with the tale behind each track, where the treasure was found, and what they mean to the man himself.

Particular mentions to the 'CFM Band presents Rey's Soul Generation: Welcome Back Brother James (Acid Jazz Mix)' with its beautiful rising energy, and also to the ultimate track ‘Rosenhaft’ from CCMF which is sure to bring a ray of sunshine to your day.

This one is sure to bring a smile to your Saturday evening.

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'.
