Next up is a brace from a fan favourite. A cult hero. It’s the Bristol Berbatov, aka Winkles, putting it in the mixer as per his signature mercurial style. 

As longstanding admirers of the Greta Cottage duo, we strongly recommend dedicating some active listening hours to the countless radio shows Onlyz & Winkles have compiled over the years. There’s loads to get stuck into from this crew of Soundcloud journeymen. 

But maybe start here and follow it up with the imminent second part of the South West Double from @jimmywinkle.

Before summer ended this year, Colorado-based DJ Steven Dermody was visiting family in Ohio. He woke one night to the light of the blue moon shining through trees, projecting pools of light on the grass below. Taking it in for a long moment, he took a photo from where he stood in his childhood bedroom. After opening up the first hour of this month’s show with some new favorites, I’m honored to host Steven on Bright Patterns for the second hour, where he reimagines and translates this moment with such personal intention.

Paduan - November 2023

This month we are treated to a sublime guest mix from Tokyo's Sbat @jagger-and-the-bat - deep diving into his record collection and and unearthing a set full of hypnotic 100bpm chuggers that the Guv'nor Mr. Weatherall would be proud of. Lovingly crafted - thank you Ben!

@nickcobby provides an hour of atmospheric and thoughtful ambient selections to start us off. Inspired by the 5am risers in Tokyo's dreamy, sprawling metropolis...

2nd Hour: Sbat

Recorded in my Tokyo apartment on a couple of 1200s, a lone XDJ and my cherished FF4000 mixer, the mix was slowly put together over the course of a couple of months as I went through almost all of my collection trying to find the right records (old and new). I've always been a big fan of DJs that can keep chugging from one 100bpm obscure number to the next, all the while making all everything sound like it belongs together (e.g. Andrew Weatherall in full backroom swing) and I really wanted to try and create my own version of that where you're taken through different styles, almost without realising (I hope), but whilst keeping the focus on a late night/early morning stomp in the backroom of some weird Tokyo after hours club you probably should have left ages ago...but you didn't...and you still have a few more hours in you.

Two-hour section from a 9-hour set recorded live at Sonic Garden, an event co-produced by Introspective Electronics and Amoenus.

Introspective Electronics x Sonic Garden w/ Luca & Dan Bean | November 23

Polito are a group of musicians who have just released a new album called ‘Collapse Phase’. The record is self described as “a meeting of improvised contemporary dance and live improvised techno music, working together to create entrancing performance experiences”.

Drawing upon a broad array of influences the music has a number of multifaceted touch points – Dub, Techno, IDM, House and the spaces in between are all explored through a unique approach driven by live improvisation and collaboration.

Polito is a collaboration between musicians Robert Downie and Finnian Langham, and dancers Arabella Frahn-Starkie and Hillary Goldsmith.

This mixtape showcases their diverse approach to sound design and helps to build a narrative around the group and what their music means.

*Album artwork was upscaled with Chat GPT from an Unreal Engine 5 scene i originally created* This Ep is a lot softer than anything ive put out before and i honestly love how it came out. I hope you enjoy, please feel free to let me know if you do!

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Field Trips began its life as a humble one-off radio show on Balamii Radio in Peckham in 2016, with an all Japanese special hosted by Nick Cobby and Liam Jacquin- showcasing vinyl records bought on recent digging there. This was swiftly followed by a string of 'specials' presenting rumba and funk vinyl gathered from Cuba, Italian disco and South African Jazz to name but a few - interspersed with field recordings captured from the trips.

The radio shows evolved into live gigs and hosting parties in London. This was followed by a yearly party at Bar Bonobo in Tokyo, guest DJ sets at City Boy Lounge in Osaka alongside local Japanese talent, as well as guesting on Tokyo based radio station, Hamon Radio.

Over the years, the Field Trips sound developed past the more focussed 'specials' format to a thoughtful selection of ambient, balearic, IDM and downtempo sounds. Rhythmic, hypnotic and intriguing, with no corner of the globe left untouched.

The show is now streamed live on London's Netil Radio via London and Mexico City by Nick Cobby, with regular guest mixes by local and international talent. This archive features all the shows to date and is updated monthly.
