Portishead - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

So we hinted at a new format with the last exquisite outing on podcast no.60 from Tom2Trax and here is the first in that series.

This marks the first in a new bi-monthly roll out for the podcast in which we will be presenting a studio mix from an Ebloc affiliate as well as a live recorded mix from a previous night within our sweaty walls so you are able to relive some of those special moments over and over again.

Dark Red Recordings steps up with the first delivery with 2.5 hours of live recorded material from their night back in March.  With Just over 30 mins a piece we hear everything from Dubstep through to Jungle from Jah-Tek, Glen Cutwerk, SoulStructure, Ego-Free Sequences & Darsk.

EBR Podcast 61 - Dark Red Records  - Live from Eastern Bloc 17.03.23

This is the recording of my closing set at FOLD, London, on April 14th, 2023. I'd put together the lineup for Transmissions and DJed after Shackleton, CCL and mi-el, and had a really special time playing in a zone I’ve been hugely enjoying this year – fast, headsy, frenetic, tunnelling, kind of psychedelic (but not like explicitly psy), twisting and turning in different directions, all over the place genre-wise but tightly bound in a specific mood and propulsive energy.

Decided to re-record a few transitions on this one and tidy it up a little – it’s more editing than I’d usually do but I wanted to release the best mix I could which would exemplify where my head's been at this year. :)

If you enjoyed this, I'm back at FOLD on Saturday 2nd December 2023 for an all-day set – tickets available here. :) https://ra.co/events/1778251

Polish Techno.logy | Podcast #244 | Means&3rd

Bio:
A steady and fulfilling path has been walked by Means&3rd aka Ben Marsden to get him to the creative space he currently occupies.
A Manchester resident since 2007 his musical education has been nurtured by the city and the experiences that have come with it. First beginning with his musical education, shortly followed by many years of promoting events and culminated in securing a place behind the counter at one of the UK’s finest record stores, Eastern Bloc Records, where he currently curates the House and Techno sections.
A local favourite and regular of Manchester's White Hotel, Warehouse Project, Soup Kitchen, and the close quarters of Eastern Bloc's very own club night his DJ'ing style has matured over the years to convey a more textured, headier but no less driving vision of techno that is always cohesive within its layers and never struggles to provide a boundless dynamic, especially when given the chance to play extended sets where he truly thrives, a keen intuition developed from over 2 decades of DJing.
More recently he has zeroed in on his production skills with 2021 seeing the launch of his own imprint 'Unveiled Nuance' which will serve as a platform for his own productions and a true introduction to his sound as an artist. After years of meticulous analysis of his craft and the invaluable knowledge gained via the record shop, he has truly begun to sculpt his own sonic identity with a sharp attentiveness to detail.
