Bside Incoming: Tech Support

This week’s episode comes from one of Brighton’s brightest prospects, Ned Dickinson. Ned has been producing under multiple aliases since his late teens, but has since found lasting comfort in his leading moniker, Tech Support. 

@tech-supportuk

A DJ/producer who began self-releasing his earliest creations through Bandcamp, Ned’s earnest artistry wasn’t going unnoticed: his hip-shaking, deep disco groovers like ‘Sweetest Pain’, and pulsating house jams like ‘Endlessly’, soon enticed the likes of Black Loops, Laurence Guy and Late Night Tuff Guy. Since then Ned has aligned himself with such respected labels as Dansu Discs, HOMAGE, and Nerang Recordings who back in 2017 pit Tech Support against our most recent guest, J Wax for a producer showdown… the jury’s out on this one. 

Four years on and Ned has only expanded his palate. His keen interest in dub and reggae is mirrored not only by his latest release, but in the opening tracks of his Bside episode, too. Finding immense satisfaction in the “slinky drums” and expansive dreamscapes personified by his dub techno and downtempo selections. Ned’s a crate-digger at heart, and we need no persuasion as he moves naturally through chuggy balearic beats, Italo realms and soulful disco cuts. 

We’re looking forward to seeing what’s next for Tech Support, but in the meantime we’ll be plugging in to this charming crusade through his record bag.

I like ideas about the collapse or overthrow of the established order. 
I'm interested in everything that has to do with revolt, disorder, chaos-
especially actions that seem to have no meaning. 
That seems to me to be the road to freedom-external freedom is a way to achieve inner freedom........

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'.
