idm, classics and more pt.1

Tom Middleton & Mark Pritchard (AKA Global Communication, Reload, Chameleon, Secret Ingredients, Link & E621) had a short run from 95-99 as the Jedi Knights releasing nu-electro, funk, house, techno, and drum-n-bass until a remix for Depeche Mode put them on George Lucas' radar resulting in a cease and desist on using the name. This is a collection of their complete catalog compiling everything from the classic "May the Funk Be With You" on Clear Records, to their remixes of Underworld, Model 500, Bomb the Bass, Leftfield and the above mentioned Depeche Mode, to their final unreleased "Return of the Jedis" EP.

Jedi Knights - Intergalactic Funk Transmissions

Another visitor makes his way down the iron staircase to the 2Sox basement HQ, this time in the form of one of Glasgow's most trusted selectors, Laurence Hughes.

He and fellow house (and techno, and electro) expert Tom Churchill have been busy recently making very fine tunes together as The Nuclear Family - https://soundcloud.com/the_nuclear_family. Their self released 12"s are two of 2Sox' absolute favourite belter records of the last year. Be sure to check them out. Laurence's production credits go back as far as 2002, under the Elijah moniker on Jason Brunton's Iridite label. Tom founded the Headspace and Emoticon labels, which produced many a stellar release by himself and the likes of Dan Curtin, Future Beat Alliance and Marco Bernardi.

Laurence has been a resident at many a club night in Glasgow over the years, including the legendary Traxx night alongside our previous DTS guest Jamie Thomson. He takes massive pleasure in discovering, playing and discussing electronic music new and old. You'll normally have a screed of mental notes after hearing a set, and this mix will be no exception. It's also worth noting that he will teach you a thing or two about, and whip your arse at, table tennis.

Hjärngymnastik 055: Hypoakusiskulptering

A follow-up to December's selection of mid-90s Detroit-influenced UK techno, this time featuring some US producers in the form of Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin and Abacus alongside the likes of As One, Stasis and Black Dog. Deep and timeless music for heads and feet.

NB: As before, these are all recorded from well-worn vinyl, so apologies for the occasional snap, crackle and pop.

Golden Era Techno Part 2

Another selection of mainly UK techno from the early to mid-90s. On this one there's a slightly more uptempo/dancefloor feel (in the middle section at least), with some deep grooves from the Pure Plastic/Plaid family, LFO's Mark Bell in his Clark guise, a soulful techno masterpiece from Inertia (aka A Guy Called Gerald), and a raw heater from Neuropolitique on Irdial. Recorded from vinyl once again with authentic grit.

Hjärngymnastik 060: Dysdiadokokinesisk Koalafotografering med Adam Strömstedt

Tom Churchill provides the 3rd guest mix.

Tom emerged in 1996 via his own label, Headspace Recordings, which went on to feature several of his productions as well as releases from Dan Curtin, Derek Carr & Sean Deason, among others. Together with sister label, Emoticon, Headspace established itself as an eminent UK label, and their releases are still sought after to this day.

Both labels ceased trading in 2006, and after a break from music production, Tom finally returned and has recently been releasing as part of a duo - The Nuclear Family.

Check the links below for new music, and be sure to listen to his recent stand-out trio of 'Golden Era Techno' mixes.

Hjärngymnastik 062: Plagiocefalisk Bordspingis med Kugg

Seems only appropriate to debut our OG cast with the sound of an OG character himself!

Tom has been involved with electronic music since the mid-90s. He is running Headspace Recordings 
(which was described in DJ Magazine as 'one of the world's finest deep techno outlets') and its sister 
label Emoticon from 1997 - 2006. As well as releasing several of his own productions on 
Headspace and Emoticon, he produced a number of deep house EPs for labels such as DiY, Nordic Trax 
and Deep Departures in the early 2000s, and held DJ residencies at both Radius in Cardiff and Traxx in Glasgow.

After taking a sabbatical from production for several years he is currently working on 
new material, both solo and as part of The Nuclear Family.

OG Cast 01 - Tom Churchill

WARPED : 30 years of Warp records (1989-2020) 

An incredibly adventurous label that reaches a massive, loyal audience. It's the label that signs the most interesting talent. The home of Aphex Twin, Autechre, and BoC. Its story began in Sheffield in 1989 during the UK's acid house explosion. The bleep sound Warp helped shape and popularise was probably the UK's first truly innovative response to US house and techno, a sound to call its own. Through the Artificial Intelligence series, the label laid the groundwork for experimental electronic music as we know it today—music that didn't rely on a club environment to come alive—and went on to explore new sonic possibilities through IDM and fusions of guitars and dance music. The creation of, or response to, many major movements of electronic music's past three decades can be found in its vast catalogue.

WARPED - 30 Years Of Warp Records (1989 - 2020)

For the hottest day of our Scottish year, we bring you some hot hot selections from the west coast of Scotland. A long time coming this one; the man that is Tom Churchill going solo DTS! @tomchurchill

Where to start with TC is a tricky one. Part brains behind seminal labels Headspace and Emoticon in the 90s through to 00s; creating vibes throughout clubs in Cardiff, Glasgow and well beyond ; rejuvenating his production career as one half of @the_nuclear_family in the 2010s... the list could go on.

On a serious mix roll at the moment, we couldn't believe TC hadn't curated a DTS yet. On the plus side, it's been worth the wait. Putting away the insanely impressive golden era techno 12" collection for an hour, Tom has focused on more current sounds (including some solid Scottish representation). The likes of Lord of the Isles (@lordoftheisles), Other Lands (@vinlanders), Kyle Hall (@kmfh), Hidden Spheres (@hiddenspheres), Tornado Wallace (@tornadowallace), Reedale Rise (@reedalerise) and Carl Finlow (@carlfinlow) all feature in here.

We've also been given a sneak preview into Tom's latest studio production work, and it is as hot as this mix we tell ye!

Enjoy!

Ps. A little known fact: Tom's flat at the time was also where Aldo 2Sox was having dinner when the news broke that Michael Jackson had died.
