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

Groovy, melodic and cool latin house for beach party. Enjoy and be good - sé bueno

Late night in the city

Gaze At The Stars

Constantly swimming in aural pleasures, you’ll either find Adi Toohey controlling the dancefloor from a Sydney DJ booth, presenting Saturday Sunset on FBi Radio, working in record stores or hosting parties with her Rimbombo crew. Now a graduate headliner, Toohey carved a name opening for the likes of Hunee, Young Marco, Bicep and The Black Madonna, playing Dark Mofo, Subsonic and Splendour in the Grass festivals and for interstate crews Club Coco, Lucid and A Love Supreme.  

With a musical CV like that Adi seemed a natural choice to warm up the dance floor for our inaugural B3 event with Gerd Janson, Dj Koze and Charlotte de Witte. As expected, she delivered, and played a warm and inviting two hours which set the scene for an amazing night of music. We are very pleased to release Adi’s set from that night, and we are confident that this might just be your new favourite mix.

Novelcast 04: Adi Toohey (Live from B3)

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

Check out some of his other releases here - https://www.discogs.com/artist/5228303-Bobby-Analog-2

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.

Jad & The - Beats of No Nation | QUIVR | 25-07-20

Bside Incoming: Tiptoes

The re-upload marks the 14th Bside brought to you since the start of Scottish quarantine, and provides another chance to find some fresh music as we take a journey through the record bag of Glasgow based producer and crate-digger TIPTOES. The whole episode is infused with the kind of deep rhythms, moody chord progressions, and jazzy interludes that you can be sure to expect from his productions:
Tiptoes popped up on our radar with his recent EP Rhythms & Solos, released on Nómada Records : The record label and jazzy collective featuring one of Bside’s favourite artists, Felipe Gordon. Safe to say we have a lot of time for his punchy remix of Tiptoes jazzy title track. (https://soundcloud.com/…/tiptoes-rhythms-solos-felipe-gordon).

But he’s long been a proponent of deep house grooves; his 2011 debut album (under his name Dominic Martin) ‘Family Affair’ on the highly respected LostMyDog record label thrust him onto the scene with some of his tracks being graced by the decks of Kerri Chandler, Milton Jackson, Eats Everything, Mosca, DJ Spinna, Mark Farina, DJ Sneak, and Maya Jane Coles. ( Here’s a personal favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch…).
And in recent years he has also been pumping out some serious heaters under his current alias on Guesthouse USA, notably ’Steppin’ which has featured on an essential mix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leaGfBUzX4w).
His most recent release 'Ruffcut' on Moment Cinetique carries some heat with strong vocals over deep and suspending chords. (https://momentcinetique.bandcamp.com/album/ruffcut)

This Episode’s got it all; much loved classics from Soichi Terada and Kerri Chandler, hidden gems like ex-terrestrial’s downtempo electro, some wax magic with a Mr.G record at the ‘wrong speed’, a dose of rare salsa, and plenty of funk!

*To put it straight - we had a shocker. While attempting to remove the previous file off one playlist and add it to another, we deleted Tiptoes' mix from Soundcloud all together. It was a truly heart wrenching moment as his mix was both up there with our favourites, and it had got a lot of listens and likes from you lot. So rather than just quietly uploading the mix again, we want to present it as we normally would - loud and proud.*

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!

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'.
