JuJu On Point Blank Radio DAB (2nd June 2023)

Show starts at 5 mins in ... (track list below)

On todays live show, we started off with three-in-row from the lovely Cleo Sol, who just finished her live shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where I was lucky enough to go to the last one on Sunday 28th May. It was such a brilliant concert that I just had to include some of her music. Big love to Cleo and all the rest of the team! Outstanding!!! Big up Chronixx ... We slowly built up the pace from there, playing something new on Athens Of The North records and Imagenes Records, and then went back in time with a lovely Balearic track by Raul Orellana, which I have never played before! 

After this, we played around with some Chicago classics by Fast Eddie, mixed up with a new Zoid remix 'Press Reset' on JuJu Muzik, just out today on Bandcamp, Beatport, Juno Download etc, and a couple of classics by Freddy Bastone. 

As usual, we included some un-released tracks and just got in "the zone" in the mix.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did playing! I had loads of fun!

Thanks as always to the listeners who tuned in and to the music artists, labels etc. 

Big love
Ju X

JuJu On Point Blank Radio DAB (2nd June 2023)

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.

Down The Stairs Mix Series 004 - The Nuclear Family

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.

Stasis - So-lar (Time Is Right, 1993)
Psyche - Elements (Planet E, 1989)
Abacus - Relics (Prescription, 1994)
Kenny Larkin - Butterflies (R&S, 1995)
Repeat - Lilt-A (A13, 1995)

La Synthesis - Agraphobia (Plink Plonk, 1994)
Black Dog Productions (Atypic) - Otaku (Rising High, 1992)

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.

Mark Broom & Dave Hill - Weather (Pure Plastic, 1995)
Neuropolitiue - Fusion-Neu (Irdial Discs, 1992)
Ismistik - Flowcharts Remade (Djax-Up-Beats, 1995)
Inertia - Nowhere to Run (Retroactive, 1990) 
Eco Tourist - Downtown Chic (Rewired, 1995)
Ed Handley - Nine Open (Pure Plastic, 1995)
Clark - Christo (Planet E, 1995) 
Balil - Rosery Pilots (Rising High, 1993)
Russ Gabriel - Airborne  (Input Neuron Musique, 1995)

Golden Era Techno Part 3

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.
