Fluke - Live at the Tribal Gathering 1997 (Luton Hoo Estate)

Hello, 

I’m pleased to give you Episode 5 of the Lowering The Tone podcast.

This time round I have a great Interview with Lee Rous, one half of the mighty Plump DJ’s, who kindly took some time out to travel down to sunny suburbia to shoot the breeze in my front room for a few hours (I must use the word ‘Interview’ loosely as it really is nothing more than a laid back chat between friends). Lee gives a humorous & honest account of his time in music. It’s refreshing and inspiring to hear producers of this calibre sharing their experiences and laying all to bare.

I will continue to bring you these intimate chats for as long as I can, and if you wish to contribute something to the show you can email me on Mark@loweringthetone.london.

On a slightly different note, I have been racking my brains as to how to float this podcast and also get some new equipment so I am able to give you a more professional show. This is what I have come up with;

I have two tracks ready and waiting for you called 'Bang 100!' & ‘When You’re Alone'. These two downtempo tracks part of an album project exclusive to Bandcamp.

I wanted to do something slightly different and a real love of mine. You can pay what you want and all profits will go to subsidising Lowering The Tone 

If you have no cash to spare then you can take them for free as a gift. All I ask is that you please spread the word by simply sharing links.

You can get the track here : https://meatkatie.bandcamp.com/album/bang-100-when-your-alone


Thank you for your ongoing support and I hope you enjoy the music,

Let me know your thoughts.

 

Mark (Meat Katie)

Meat Katie 'Lowering the Tone' Episode 5 (with Lee Rous/Plump Dj's Interview)

Bugged Out turns 30 next year, and this mix is made up of 30 records which represents each of those years from 1994 to 2023.

Myself, Johnno and Lemmy from Bugged Out all reflected on various points in the clubs history and the artists who have helped shape it, and chose records which felt are a representation of the sound of the club, not just historically, but where it stands now. 

Pulling together music from different eras and sounds was a bit of a challenge, and whilst some may not be the biggest track of their respective year - a few will be seen as classics and a healthy amount are perhaps obscure in relation - but to my ears they still sound as brilliant now as they did upon release. 

In a bizarre twist of fate, the oldest record from 1994 is mixed in with the newest from this year, which wasn't intentional. Clocking in at 2 and a half hours, the mix was recorded live in a single take, here in London.

I spoke with Mixmag about my relationship with Bugged Out! which you can read here: https://mixmag.net/feature/erol-alkan-30-years-bugged-out-mix-drumsheds

I play for Bugged Out at Drumsheds this Saturday, set time: 7pm in the 'Y Room'. Hope to see you there, looks like it's going to be a good one.. Final tickets: https://bit.ly/3LBDtY4
