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!

Huntleys + Palmers: Georgia Special with Zurkin, Cosmic Love Rotation & Kura    - 29th May 2019

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'.
