UK Garage DJ - 

Grew up listening to pirate stations in Birmingham (mainly Passion FM, Serious FM, Heat FM, Smooth FM, Hot92, Silk City FM) and would tape sets on my tape recorder then listen to them on my walkman on the way to school. Bought my first 12" record aged 15 (back in 1999), then bought a set of decks aged 16 (2000), and have been DJ'ing and collecting records ever since. 

The reason i started DJ'ing was not because i wanted to make a name for myself, but was because the music i was hearing on radio and was obsessed by was too underground to be released on CD's or compilations, and the only way to get hold of them was on vinyl. It was a straight up love for the music! I started DJ'ing/mixing and taught myself to mix so developed my own style.

Used to spend all my pocket money on records from places like Depot Records, Tempest records, HTFR, Dance Music Finder and a few London record stores online.

Love 2-step garage, especially the underground non-commercialised tracks, with r'n'b female vocal influenced tunes being amongst some of my favourites. Mike Millrain, Steve Gurley, Groove Chronicles, Sovereign, Industry Standard, DEA project, Dem2, Wookie, Y-Tribe, to name but a few are amongst my favourite producers from the era. 

Got quite a lot of rare white labels, promos, exclusives and test pressings which i will never sell and am proud to have in my collection. 

Aside from 2-step garage, i also love ambient/atmospheric jungle, drum and bass, 90's r'n'b, roots reggae, lovers rock reggae, 80's dancehall and certain modern dancehall tracks, gospel, grime, 90's hip-hop and neo-soul.

Hope you enjoy listening to my uploads. Share them and spread the music! More to come soon.....G

ABOUT:

'Waiting Space' is an audio & visual project - and alias of Waterford-based, musician and artist, Chris Falconer.

Through a D.I.Y. process that is enabled by contemporary technologies, as 'Waiting Space', he creates self-recorded/self-produced songs - characterised by dynamic vocals and cinematic instrumentals, typically blending programming, electronics, and live-instrumentation. Each piece of musical-output is 'complemented' by visuals which Falconer independently creates in response - including artwork, animations, and short films.

'Waiting Space' began in 2013 as a side project - initially a platform for musical ideas that 'did not fit' his existing bands’ catalogues. As other projects subsequently went on extended hiatuses, and Falconer found himself with an increasingly irregular schedule in which to create music (as his artistic-output was forced to compete with his full-time work within the architecture-industry), embracing Waiting Space as a solo/D.I.Y. project, and recording in domestic settings, made increasing sense.

The process also acted as a catalyst for Falconer to learn more about the technical aspects of music-making, including recording, mixing, & producing, and developing new skills in animation and video-production, in order to create the 'appropriate' visuals to match his sounds & words.

Radioplay has included RTÉ Lyric FM, RTÉ 2FM, Beat 102-103, a number of regional stations, and occasional international radioplay. Uniquely, given the project's visual aspect, Waiting Space has also crossed over into the gallery world: the Waiting Space piece 'Cocoon' (accompanied by a drone video filmed by Falconer of an empty Waterford City during COVID-19 ‘lockdown'), featured in the exhibition 'Stories From Lismore & Beyond' in Lismore Castle Arts Gallery; and Waiting Space has also been commissioned by the Luan Gallery Athlone, to create a number of musical-scores for ‘virtual walkthrough’ videos of the gallery’s exhibitions, a number of times during 2020 and 2021. Most recently, a Waiting Space audio/visual piece called ‘Unseen Happenings’, was commissioned by Garter Lane Arts Centre in Waterford, with the installation being viewable on-site in March 2022.
