Having always been into a bit of Fila Brazillia, I was well up for a guest mix from a certain Mr Cobby. 

Props to Michael J Collins for bringing home the bacon on this one, it made for a pretty special saturday night. The Totnes Massive seemed quite keen on it as well - Job Done.

Meself and the winkler buggered orf to Henry & Petras Wedding Do. We aimed to scare the guests a bit. Think we did on the sunday morning. In a good way you know.

Chalks stepped in and did the mix for us, shuffling around behind the decks like a shoplifting ten year old.

PS - Chalky told Daisy it is fine to chuck rocks at wine bottles. A very bad uncle.

Paxton Fettel - A Night in Torquay E.P - GCW09V

An Old Skool VS New Skool Delight.

First up, DJ Milo. He shouldn't need an introduction, but if you need one try...

Former Wild Bunch member, Bristol Sound Conjurer & the man that wrote the blue print for Massive Attack (You've heard of them yea?) This mix is his interpretation of what a Wild Bunch session would have sounded like in 2004 - We are more than honoured that he wanted to get involved. Due to some copyright stuff downloads are now off. Blink and you miss it!

After 80mins Charlie Don't Surf takes over. Another instigator of that Scando Sound we love at GCW, this Swedish Pilot goes off on more house based angles & Jangles. Possible record coming also...

Should keep you busy.

m50 from Chicago presents a Greta Cottage Workshop Radio mix for the heads (well, when isn't it really?)

In tune and on point to our Saturday night escapades on SoundartFM, the gent behind Kimochi the well trusted imprint for mad depth and hand crafted weirdness, delivers with large amounts of thought and consideration.

Mad fer it we are.

(sorry for delay in posting, we went to Oslo don't cha know)

Greta Cottage Workshop Radio 30/3/14 m50 (Kimochi Sound)

David Georgos and Bendikt Frey reprise their roles in exponential real time music making. Causing a melting pot of dilemmas to somehow unfurl into a rather stupendous and thought provoking system of ideas and trance inducing meditative practices.

Basically these guys do big ass jams, properly.

Futureworld introduces the E.P with classical panache, Craig Armstrong's presence on a certain Bristol collective's piece spring to mind with it's twinkly key section along with atmospherically 'epic' Kosmiche stylings and nods to Detroit.. no less. This concoction of influences can be picked apart all you like but the bottom line is this is textbook VtotheD through and through

Seven Up commits a Barrage of beat workings and synthsmithery with token breakdown section to mesmerizing effect. Bumping feets twist and tap to a surreal take on cosmic electro.. . it’s hard to put into words this, so just stick it on yeah?

Tribalistic connotations meet mechanical technoid happenings in Within Lines. Remedying funk purveyed in its finest form provide an alleviating trip for the freaky chappies that get down with the consolatory illness. Rhythms contort and muster a decaying devastation, swaying and slaying precipitating a stomping disposition. Naughty mate!

Grey Lodge Smoke suggests an inclination towards pineal imagery, toasting odes of psy-infused headspace and vortex beaconing belonging. Slamming mid range focuses on swing and spacial awareness, all the while progressive low end and meticulously tuned percussion conducts a foray into the uber-dimension.

Cinematic sized Twofold Circus feels like a 2020 Deckard envisaged rumpus with subtle undertones of eastern aural imagery. It's got that GC endorsed thrill that counterpoints atypical thinking; characterised by many a luminary associated with the stable. 

It's been said before and it'll be said time and time again, eyes down big face forward and tops well and truly orf.

An eternal truth… if it rains when we are doing a show then we enjoy it more. Bit of fog with it - even better.

Bits n Bobs from around and about, with our social commentary thrown in for free. You lucky people.

GCW lovingly presents the debut album of a Mr Paxton Fettel. To cut not a particularly long story short, you’re in for a real treat.

Everything stays the same is a beautifully conceived work of house music which delves in depth and diversity, tapping into the old bittersweet emotion. It's a true labour of love presented in Double LP format.

Amber light burns opens the mood with subtle and refined melody, a suggestive Detroit dynamic, firing arpeggiated weaving synth work and an enigmatic outlook.

A filtered funk perpetuates on Beyond the sapphire surf, fluctuating hi hats sway in and around a circulating and pulsating low end bump... freaking bass twangs, the full nine yards delivered.

When left to his own devices, utilizing real instruments along with a proper kerfuffle for a shuffle he belts out blinders. Cloud feeling really epitomises the Fettel ethic of playfulness. Blissful charm and slickness for her pleasure.

Another hanny fammer paced down slammer, Dots on the skyline displays proper musicianship placing focus on crafted drummer jams and selected keyboard gems.

Future adventures provokes seemingly effortless expression from the fender rhodes, A poolside tune for poolside loons.

Manifesting the most expressive intuitiveness of an evocative sample gets a lock in here. Lift off thumps and grinds itself along, mad with rich attenuation and weight of skills.

Pax meets Takuya, paralleling influence and sustainability a bond brings out a mad collision. Afloat on a sea of nothing is immersed in an innermost display of passion, brilliantly smoothed over in fine fashion.

Solitary returns re invites the initial heads down bruiser, going out to the lifetime chooser… Return yourself to the start why don’tcha?

An interesting pairing of artists & projects this week.

The first part of the show Steve shares with radio Greta a mix of his more ambient works, field recordings,  and a collaboration with Mastering Engineer and music producer Suade Bargeman on the track ‘Golden Shields’ (at 1hr mark)

The mix finishes on a live gig held in 2012 at the Glue Factory as part of Glasgow based artist Torsten Laushamns event ‘Special Effect’. In this section all noises bar a few drum hits are sampled from 1950’s special effects sound designer Raymond Scott

Theo Conard, also known as Paxton Fettel delivers his second LP on Greta Cottage Workshop. 

Entirely Produced by Mr Fettel it’s an exemplary mix of predominantly instrumental contemporary jazz funk, sometimes featuring the vocal talents of one Olivia Lincoln...

From the very beginning it is totally and utterly heartfelt - until the floor churning and brazenly life affirming end his emotions are worn firmly on his sleeve.

It’s a serious embodiment of proper fusion and a testament to a phenomenal producer progressively pushing his work in a playful, honest, admirable and honourable way...whilst not taking himself too seriously!

Greta Cottage New Boy Duccio jumps into the fray.

Flipping a girthy cut & bringing together a pack of melody heavy boompty tech house arse wobblers.

Proceedings begin with Late Night Swing - a delicately laced flutey chugging acid pumper ... chunky for those big rig nights.

Proggy as you like Hypeway follows the beauty of spaceways, twinkly and fuzzy like the morning after.

Sambao brings solid mid west rave gear to mind.. prepped for a wig top knock off the old block.

It sounds extatic in Jediland, can't feel me legs - go and make some friends in the toilets, then stagger back to the fray…

J Mina 001 plays like a truly Jackin’ night ride, where thought escapes and minds dissipate. You’ll find them in the morn. Probably.

This time around, Greta Cottage Workshop indulges in a favourite pastime. Dubbed out 10” Vinyl.

RDMA has been with GCW for time – yet this is a first time outing on record. Worth the wait.

Flashback Of Time: A haunting Dub Techno peregrination . . . giving you that grind it out happening, with your nearest grubby basement/dub rig interface. Big Inside The Ride.

Utopia & Visions: More of a ‘Sunday Morning, yet I’m not in bed’ experience - replete with laughing children, alien windstorms and DMT pixies chattering in your third earhole. Waste a whole day with two copies and a crusty old mixer.

In another tight and consistent projection, Paxton Fettel actualizes his assertion for independence, eclecticism and voodoo - with a collection of delightful enchanting vibes.

Familiarly neat and energetic, house beats and crystal-clear chords accord to accompany the melodic dawdling, while insatiable and unbelievably facetious talkative babblings of all kinds stretch out into organic gliding laces. 

The purposefully optimistic and spirited atmosphere is the echo of the ceaseless quest for serious lightness, relaxed ecstatic states, truth and wonders. 

At the intersection of devoted beginnings and mastered preferences, this EP provides a soothing expression of the reality of change, and acts as the denouement of a true explorative pit stop for the musician - and the listener, always playful, and sprucely yours.

DJ Sotofett takes over #GCWradio.
How can you not like that? We were pretty stoked about it. That DJ stalker Jimmy Winkles earned his crust on this one. (I think he is currently lurking in the bins outside Fred P's studio) 
Turns out that Sir Sotofett is an avid listener of us stumbling around the turntables. Good, because I have been hammering his mixes also. It's a massive love in. Vibes.
He hasn't got a Soundcloud that I can find so i'm putting it up.
