In this series we ask labels to have one of their team showcase the best B-sides of their own releases - be that their personal favourites, their best kept secrets, and their unsung heroes. It gives the listener a chance to hear the sounds of a label all in one mixtape.

We’re back again with the latest episode of our record label showcase, this time label boss Bruno will guide us through his Berlin based imprint with “The Bside of… Pluie/Noir”.

The label curates artists with a unique sonic signature from all over the world, tracks from club-oriented genres to be enjoyed as home listening, and music that always seeks to push boundaries. We will also hear from the sub-label Experimental Media which focuses on ambient and left-field electronica.
Take note of the stunning audio/visual component to the Pluie/Noir discography whereby artists are invited to create a visual representation that accompanies each release.

Expect deep and moody minimal, experimental electronica, and superb production quality from an array of international artists.

#176 - A Tribute To Callisto - mixed by Veloziped

It's the greatest day of the month... the last Friday of November and what a month it's been. 

Joining me this month is an absolutely wonderful human + DJ @bevandj who I met for the first time last King's Day at the legendary party with the Happy Records crew.

I was absolutely blown away by this man's track selection & mixing and since then have become good friends. Two house music lovers coming together, a recipe for a good friendship in my eyes.

As per, the guest takes the reigns for the first hour whilst I finish it off for the second hour.

House music goodness throughout! Enjoy!

The Bside of... Rhythm Section

Today is the day we release the highly anticipated first episode of our new ‘The Bside of…’ series. A Bside broadcast that showcases the very best of a record label’s ‘other side’. A journey through many of the hidden gems and overlooked releases from our favourite record labels.

To kick things off we are lucky enough to present you with one of the very best labels in present times, not only one of the best in London, or the UK, or even Europe, but a record label that is truly world class: Rhythm Section !!!

This brainchild of Bradley Zero, is an ever-growing creative collective of like minded music lovers who have been throwing parities in Peckham since 2009. Their expansion from a grassroots party in London to a world renowned brand of record labels, radio shows, and studio spaces has been a phenomenal spectacle for those with their fingers on the pulse.
And, it was the birth of Rhythm Section International in 2014 that truly consolidated their name among the greats: now boasting a whole host of releases from the scenes most respected artists and local talents alike : Al Dobson Jr., Henry Wu, Chaos In The CBD, FYI Chris, Earth Trax, and many many more… including some of our own esteemed guests - Hidden Spheres, Duke Hugh, and Rüf Dug.

Our host, Z-Lovecraft (AKA Mali),  is a resident and vital member of the Rhythm Section family. So what better way to begin this amazing Rhythm Section mixtape than with his very own edit of a past Bside Guest's (Rüf Dug) amazing track ‘Sunrise’ under his Mali-I alias. From there on in it is a mesmerising exploration of the labels Bsides - Sweet soothing vocals from 30/70, smooth jazzy vibes courtesy of Pinty, dipping into the deep with Bad Channel and Alexander Falk on their sub label International Black. A dubstep track from Prequel, some tasty breaks from Mallard, before bringing it back to Earth Rain with Saul. This one has it all!

Thanks again to Rhythm Section and Z-Lovecraft for showcasing their favourite Bsides from one of the very best labels in the business.

The Bside of... Rhythm Section

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!

The Bside of... Toy Tonics

This is one of those episodes that we’ve been excited to bring you for a while now! 
“The Bside of…” mixtapes so far have proven to be up there with our best and this one is certainly no different. 

We are transporting you to Germany to place you in the very capable hands of co-founder Kapote, he stands out as a brilliant producer and selector in his own right so it’s a privilege to have him guide us through a playlist of his very own favourites from The Bside of… Toy Tonics!!!

Since 2015 Toy Tonics have been breathing a breath of fresh air into soul and disco, with their tasteful edits and carefully curated new productions making them possibly the hottest record label to recently emerge from Germany. Their style is an infectious fun that can explode into euphoric joy on any dance floor across the world.
Beyond their releases they have proven themselves as one of Europe’s best parties, with the Toy Tonics Jam series inviting many of the label's favourite artists to do their thing at the best clubs across the continent.

Toy Tonics now has over 100 releases, EPs, Albums, Compilation Series, Edits and Original Productions. They are as prolific as they are consistently excellent, and they always aim to push the boundaries of “new house and futuristic electronic dance music”.

The Toy Tonics roster includes founders Munk and Kapote, COEO, Whitesquare, Blackloops, PBR Streetgang, Demuja, Felipe Gordon, FYI Chris, Dimitri from Paris, Phenomenal Handclap Band, not to mention some previous guests Rhode & Brown, and Jad & The. Not bad huh!

The most recent release certainly lives up to the high expectations that TT sets itself: Mushroom House Vol.1 which is compiled by our very own Bside host Kapote.

Check it out on their website: https://www.toytonics.de/2020/11/20/kapote-pres-mushroom-house-vol-1-toyt115/

The Toy Tonics team also let us in on some in info and snippets of their first release of 2021... Boy are we excited for it! We can tell you that it is Cody Curry's first solo EP on Toy Tonics, and is titled 'Moves EP', featuring Eliza Rose on the vocals on the main track. Each track sounds beautiful, filled with 'atmospheric garage-y broken beat territory as an ode to his London roots. Rich chords, catchy hooks and hard hitting rhythms.' They also told us that Joel Holmes and Athlete Whippet are in line for the next Toy Tonics releases in the coming months...

The Bside of... Haŵs

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'.
