Data Transmission Podcasts 2014

Waifs and strays. No we’re not on about what our grandfather refers to us and are friends as (although he does) we’re of course referring to the former Bristolian house duo now one artist act of the same name.  First emerging from the West Country back in 2010 the last four years had been been kind to the twosome with their brand of bass charged house music winning them fans across the land. 

After announcing their arrival on the big stage with 'Yeah, Yeah' on Leftroom, they further cemented their standing within the scene with their follow up arriving via Jamie Jones' esteemed Hot Creations imprint with the sultry 'Body Shiver' making its way into many of Jones' bass-heavy, groove-laden sets, more importantly his Fabric 59 mix CD. 

Fast forward to 2014 and Amos is now operating as a solo artist under the Waifs & Strays moniker, with Rich taking a sabbatical due to health issues. Going from a two-man working relationship to riding solo can be a tough break for some, but for Amos it's a challenge that he's relishing. Now working alone, he's pushing the project forward with a renewed zeal, dedicating his time and energy to bolstering his production skills with a clear vision of where the project is heading.
As their song said "house is a feeling" and Amos evidenced by his sets and productions this is clearly a message he has taken to heart. As a result Amos has secured appearances at some of the world's best clubs and festivals, with Fabric, DC10 and Glastonbury just a few of our favourite places to house his talents as Waifs & Strays. So with a hotly anticipated performance at London’s Lightbox  for Madtech alongside fellow DT faves Let The Machines Do The Work October 18th we thought the time was right to welcome Waifs & Strays to the podcast series. Enjoy.

Mondays are bleak by definition but and November Mondays especially so. It’s cold, dreary and not quite Christmas. In short everything about today should suck but, wait what’s this light on an otherwise gloomy day? It’s only the bloody DT podcast and this week we’ve got an extra special mix to warm the hearts of even the most downhearted with a hour of cuts from one of the unsung hero of New York’s 90s disco explosion Colleen "Cosmo" Murphy.

Tutored by two of the scenes most respected names in David Mancuso and François K, Colleen has literally done it all. Run a record label. Check. Tour the globe as a DJ. Check. Host her own radio show. Create an event brand. Check. Compile a DT podcast… check. And that’s not even the half of it. We’ve not even mentioned an illustrious studio career that saw her team up with the likes of like X-Press 2’s Ashley Beedle (as Darkstarr Diskotek), former Captain Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas (as Wild Rumpus) and remix some of the most adventurous women in music, including Bat For Lashes, Sinead O’Connor and Planningtorock.

So whilst they may be your first taste of Colleen’s talents we’re sure it won’t be the last; as you all look deeper into her many projects. Until then check out this mix. Sounding good Colleen!

Unless you've been hiding under your Grandmother’s electric blanket for the past few weeks, you may have noticed things are getting rather grey and chilly outside. Yes, as those gloomy folk on Game Of Thrones predicted winter has arrived and here at Data Transmission we've been on the hunt for the perfect mix to warm us up and drive away the blues. Helping us through those meteorologically dreary times has been a series of vocal laden efforts that already have us dreaming of laying on a beach somewhere warm where the waters are crystal clear and the only thing cold is the ice in our drinks.

Soundtracking such daydreams of warmer climes has been the sounds of Gothenburg's Little Dragon who quite frankly blew the office away with the unveiling of the video to their new single ‘Underbart’ earlier in the month. For a long time almost an industry codeword for having good musical taste recent years have seen the Gothenburg outfit achieve international acclaim with the likes of Pharrell Williams and OutKast joining DT as fans. So with a big set of dates coming up including a hotly anticipated performance at London’s Brixton Academy on November 27th and a slot at Thailand’s awesome looking Wonderfruit Festival (where we could make a daydreams of winter sunshine a reality) we thought now was the perfect time to invite Little Dragon to deliver the most extra special of podcasts and they’ve done just that. Enjoy.

Packed Lunch returns for a special New Years' Eve event and this time we've teamed up with them at Data Transmission, this their 3rd party at Packed Lunch at the Winter Gardens in Milton Keynes, this time they are welcoming Roots For Bloom head honcho, Jamie Trench and Mark Jenkyns to help ring in the new year. 

We are delighted to invite back Jamie Trench to both Packed Lunch & Data Transmission, he needs little introduction and as a local Milton Keynes lad who played for the events previously we’re looking forward to seeing him work his magic on home turf. So to get you in the mood – or just brighten your day - we thought it was about time we had Jamie showcase his dexterity on the decks for the podcast. A sublime mixture of tech house, tribal beats and deeper tones, with subtle garage and techno influences it’s enough to cure even the sternest of post weekend hangovers. Check it out now!

We’re big fans of Vince Watson here at Data Transmission so when the inimitable Scotsman agreed to helm the latest edition of the DT podcast it’s fair to say we were more than a little excited. What would he play? Whilst probably best known for his techno output the Glaswegian veteran is just at home playing house, jazz or ambient numbers so just what avenue he’d lead us down was anybody’s guess. Whilst we won’t spoil the surprise (it’s up to you whether or not you want to have a gander at the tracklist) we will tell you it has certainly lived up to our lofty expectations.

Charged with delivering Ovum’s landmark 250th release in celebration of their 20th anniversary his De Ja Vu EP showcases why we’ve long thought of Vince as one of the most talented operators in the game today.  Christmas has come early this year…

What do you get if you cross the sounds of Critical Music boss Kasra and label affiliate Foreign Concept? Well apart from an over excited Data Transmission office a stonker of a podcast would be our answer as the two D&B dons have joined forces to provide this weeks exclusive mix for your listening pleasures.

It’s Kasra’s second appearance on our podcast series having previously wowed us with a solo outing back in 2010 and comes ahead of this years much anticipated #CriticalSound Christmas party which sees Kasra and co. return to London for a very special one off even on December 20. With Kasra, going back to back with Foreign Concept, Mefjus teaming up with emperor with further support from man like Marcus Intalex and Spectrasoul we thought we’d give you a taste of things to come by having the aforementioned Kasra and Foreign Concept work their magic for us this Christmas.

PREMIERE: Rupert Ellis - Aquila Rift [Circa Groove]

Label: Pilot (UK)
Artist: Occibel
Format: Vinyl + Digital
Cat. Number: PILOT23
Release Date: 29th August 2025
Vinyl: https://www.deejay.de/Occibel_PILOT_23_PILOT23_Vinyl__1151845
Digital: https://www.beatport.com/fr/release/pilot23/5232188

The 23rd flight from the Pilot label run by Burnski is a future-facing blend of tech, disco and house with a real intergalactic aesthetic. 'It's Your Duty' opens with a grinding bassline and snappy drums that soon get you marching, then 'Save Our Planet' (dub) spins out with some silky celestial melodies and twitchy drum funk. 'Nothing To Hide' glistens with some sci-fi charm as the tight drums and bulbous bassline move things onwards, and 'Strolling The River' shuts down with another disco-tech sound that is lit up with sugar melodies and boogie motifs.
