Bside Incoming: Kinn

This time Bside is broadcasting from San Antonio, Texas. We are transporting you across the Atlantic to hear a record collection of almost 30 years in the making. He’s a man known by many names Sprout, Soco, Rick Lara and Kinn. Whatever he chooses to call himself, it’s a pleasure to be welcomed into his world of musical passion and listen to some of his favourite records.

He has a strong influence in his local scene: Throwing events while he was in the Air Force with the like minded music loving artists of his youth, and continuing with a series of parties across Texas and Oklahoma which culminated in the organisation of a two day festival called Togetherness.

Rick is keen to get back to playing live, but in the meantime his passion for music lives on through his Sprout Sessions, as well as his A&R role with record label Calls and Puts, a chance to connect with other producers and pursue his own EP under his Soco moniker. 

We were glad to hear that DJ Kinn is also spending his time reaching out to the youth of today as part of the AM Project. With after school and summer programmes that encourage DJing and production and will surely cultivate his own passion for music withiin generations to come. 

This one moves between the deep and dubby, moody lounge vibes, hypnotising hip-hop beats and progressive melodic jazz-house. From Thievery Corporation to Henry Wu and everything in between.

Tracklist:
1. Low Flung-Grey Foliage
2. Jenn Bennett-There are Many Things
3. Cine City-plants, animals, h20
4. Dubbyman-bbr11-Deep Explorer Remixes
5. Gerardo Frisian and Dj Skizo-voices of the jungle-orient
6. Black Science Orchestra-Brotherly Love
7. Domu-Kept on Runnin-Ashley Thomas remixes

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'.
