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!

Maceo Plex's remix of 'Sordid Affair' is a textbook Plex edit.

Deep, powerful and synth heavy, this could well be the best Royksopp edit we've heard all year and is certainly the perfect way to say goodbye.

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!

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.

Mendel at Giant Steps: Part I Deep Listening

The latest edition of our Poolside Etiquette mixtape series is a special one indeed. We're honoured to be joined by French prodigy and all-time office favourite @Folamour for a journey in jubilant jazz and feel-good funk. 

In case he wasn't already on your radar, Bruno Boumendil is probably the hottest disco selector globally right now. In 2019 alone, he's released his second debut album, launched his very own 4MYPPL party + mixtape series and managed to break the internet with that Gimme Gimme Gimme! moment during his iconic Boiler Room set at FLY Open Air.

Sticking to his guns, Bruno brings his signature blend of soulful disco and space jazz to our longest serving mixtape series. It's safe to say we're counting down the days to catch him live when he returns next year to our favourite festival on the calendar, Pitch Music & Arts.

Plug in and enjoy the slick and sweet sun-drenched sounds of the man of the people, Folamour.

Bside Incoming!! This instalment is our fifth show of the Incoming series (where DJs who can't make it to Scotland to record a live Bside mix send us their favourite B-sdies online) and this time it’s all the way from Germany - Joe Cleen.

A Berlin based producer who has operated under many monikers in the last 20 years, he has released records on such prestigious labels as Sloth Boogie and Jazz Cabbage. Most recently featuring on the A2 of the new Repsies EP with a sunny disco edit full of nostalgia and energy.

Not limiting himself to producing, Joe has made a strong name for himself as a disk jockey. Treating his listeners to some of the gems in his record collection which he began at the budding young age of 11. His Bside Incoming mix is testament to his passion for synthy disco, sweet soulful grooves and joyful jazz. Certainly one to warm your cockles as the winter sets in.

What a pleasure it is to have him on the show. 
Enjoy

We are very pleased to present you episode 23 of Bside from Bellaire.

It was a pleasure to welcome the Parisian DJ and producer for another Bside live session from house of Gods. The first record played was from the 90's and caused a dust buildup on the needle, so every second track until we cleaned the needle properly sounds a bit unclear, appologies! The recording took place as a 'pre drinks' before his set at We Do Disco's party. 

What a lovely occasion to bring you a sneak peak into the record bag of new and dusty old vinyls one of house musics rising stars. An excellent showcase of his repertoire : 70s disco, 90s house from Masters at Work (clearly a staple of his collection and a big influence on his productions), indian disco jazz, and soulful party tracks. Buckle up for funky filled party starting vibes.

There are so many of his own tracks that we love from the Frenchman, where to start… a few of his Bsides perhaps:

Some more peak time club equipped house - 'Spiritual Thang' on the B1 of the EP framework

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.

Mooglie - Prélude

You've probably spotted @reesuk billed next to your favourite House & Disco DJs over the last year or so. Adam is making quite the name for himself; his style which floats through genres such as Disco, Italo & Electro; accompanied by his forward thinking mannerism has seen him launch his own label, embark on a US Tour and most recently release on Man Power's Ape-X imprint. 

We have a chat about his career so far below; and he delivers an hour of goodness for your listening pleasure. 

Big influences when it comes to DJs & Producers? 

There’s a few for various different reasons, anyone who knows me know’s I’m a huge digger and take a lot of pride in my selection so for this people like Palms Trax, Hunee and Orpheu The Wizard are DJs that have played a huge significance in my sound. As for more of a production level it would have to be Lauer and Skatebard, they hold so much consistency through all their work its incredible! But, the person I’ll always hold the upmost respect for is Gerd Janson, an outstanding DJ/Producer/Label Owner and amazing role model - an all round gentleman!

How did you make the leap from bedroom DJ to a US tour?

I believe networking is a huge key to moving forward in anything creative industry and was a huge part of making this happen! But of course it can only take you so far; long sleepless nights on my DAW, working on the label and generally building my brand all put me in a position for this crazy dream to become a reality.

Advice of getting your music heard by the right people?

Again, networking is the best thing you can do for yourself! Make some new friends, share music, support your local scene - don’t be afraid to put yourself out! Make enough noise and people will listen, identify where you want to be and back track on the steps to take to get there.

Closing track of an all night long set?

This changes like the weather there’s so much good music, so I’m going to cheat and say out of two, something boogie and balearic like ‘Daniel Wang - Don’t Go Lose This’ or ‘Fire Flight - Wantin U’

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.

We simply cherish the grade-A djs and producers The Patchouli Brothers, and their contribution to the Caffeine Supreme series. 
These Canadians first got their beats wet, throwing down parties in an Albanian dive bar in Toronto. They have since flavored a spectrum of the city's establishments, played parties from California to Amsterdam, often alongside their peers Horse Meat Disco, joey Negro, John Morales and Psychemagik to name a few. Not bad Canada!

Dig into a sparkling mix of raw and eclectic disco, jazz, soul, gospel & house. Wow, they actually got it all - dancable too!!

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'.
