TR130 - Tech Support

Tech Support stands amongst some of the most prolific young DJs and producers out there. Yet despite a vigorous work ethic he still maintains a sense of playfulness in his work, demonstrated by his tongue-in-cheek approach to the DJ lifestyle. We chatted with him over on Instagram about small communities, production tips and musical influences. 

Combining lashings of house euphoria, mind-melting chug, dirty basement disco, obscure italo and more, Tech Support is primed and ready to send you offworld to a strange yet familiar place of feel good. 

And it’s not just dancefloor clientele that have been captured by these far-out frequencies, gaining support from the likes of Mixmag, Rinse FM, Houseum and fellow artists Black Loops, Late Nite Tuff Guy, and Dan Shake on a number of productions and mixes.

We bring the party straight to your airwaves this week with a 1 hour mix from the man himself.

APECAST040 - TECH SUPPORT

Tech Support always finds a groove in everything he touches. Be that through his DJ sets, mixes or his own productions, there's a rhythmic fluidity and depth that always guides his way.

He never confines himself to one sound or style but there's a distinct nod to the 80s in his influences and output; be assured you'll find lashings of Italo, vintage darkwave, euphoric house and slo mo chug when he's behind the decks or laying it down in the studio.

His work rate as a producer has been on the up over the last few years. If he's not sharing his solo work, which has formed releases for Nocturne, Together Alone, Futureboogie, Silver Bear and, most recently Ano Ano, he's crafting his own self-released edits and reworks of legendary new beat, new wave and Italo Disco tracks like 'Burning Down The House', 'Je Suit Passee' and 'Drop The Deal'. Lately he's been making music under another alias, Asa Tate, with a track penned for this year's Rhythm Section SHOUTS compilation. 

For his Shine A Light On mix, he dives into the sounds we've come to know him for: there's revving Italo, hypnotic Goa, groovy acid not acid and dusty progressive trance. Dig in...

Fantastic Planet 01

The latest edition of our Poolside Etiquette mixtape series is a special one indeed. We're honoured to be joined by French prodigy and all-time office favourite @Folamour for a journey in jubilant jazz and feel-good funk. 

In case he wasn't already on your radar, Bruno Boumendil is probably the hottest disco selector globally right now. In 2019 alone, he's released his second debut album, launched his very own 4MYPPL party + mixtape series and managed to break the internet with that Gimme Gimme Gimme! moment during his iconic Boiler Room set at FLY Open Air.

Sticking to his guns, Bruno brings his signature blend of soulful disco and space jazz to our longest serving mixtape series. It's safe to say we're counting down the days to catch him live when he returns next year to our favourite festival on the calendar, Pitch Music & Arts.

Plug in and enjoy the slick and sweet sun-drenched sounds of the man of the people, Folamour.

Bside Incoming!! This instalment is our fifth show of the Incoming series (where DJs who can't make it to Scotland to record a live Bside mix send us their favourite B-sdies online) and this time it’s all the way from Germany - Joe Cleen.

A Berlin based producer who has operated under many monikers in the last 20 years, he has released records on such prestigious labels as Sloth Boogie and Jazz Cabbage. Most recently featuring on the A2 of the new Repsies EP with a sunny disco edit full of nostalgia and energy.

Not limiting himself to producing, Joe has made a strong name for himself as a disk jockey. Treating his listeners to some of the gems in his record collection which he began at the budding young age of 11. His Bside Incoming mix is testament to his passion for synthy disco, sweet soulful grooves and joyful jazz. Certainly one to warm your cockles as the winter sets in.

What a pleasure it is to have him on the show. 
Enjoy

We are very pleased to present you episode 23 of Bside from Bellaire.

It was a pleasure to welcome the Parisian DJ and producer for another Bside live session from house of Gods. The first record played was from the 90's and caused a dust buildup on the needle, so every second track until we cleaned the needle properly sounds a bit unclear, appologies! The recording took place as a 'pre drinks' before his set at We Do Disco's party. 

What a lovely occasion to bring you a sneak peak into the record bag of new and dusty old vinyls one of house musics rising stars. An excellent showcase of his repertoire : 70s disco, 90s house from Masters at Work (clearly a staple of his collection and a big influence on his productions), indian disco jazz, and soulful party tracks. Buckle up for funky filled party starting vibes.

There are so many of his own tracks that we love from the Frenchman, where to start… a few of his Bsides perhaps:

Some more peak time club equipped house - 'Spiritual Thang' on the B1 of the EP framework

'Some Jazz To Make Love On' on the B2 of Paris city jazz -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWwRimC3jS0

This deep under rated and overlooked gem 'Jazzy Rhodes' from the b3 of the Ep. framework -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edSDg6ZAp2c

Big thanks to Bellaire Music for the show, House of Gods for letting us record it in their lovley cocktail bar, and Holly Mickey for the beautiful artwork as always. Check out here art here - www.instagram.com/mollyth.art/

Ep. 23 Bellaire

You've probably spotted @reesuk billed next to your favourite House & Disco DJs over the last year or so. Adam is making quite the name for himself; his style which floats through genres such as Disco, Italo & Electro; accompanied by his forward thinking mannerism has seen him launch his own label, embark on a US Tour and most recently release on Man Power's Ape-X imprint. 

We have a chat about his career so far below; and he delivers an hour of goodness for your listening pleasure. 

Big influences when it comes to DJs & Producers? 

There’s a few for various different reasons, anyone who knows me know’s I’m a huge digger and take a lot of pride in my selection so for this people like Palms Trax, Hunee and Orpheu The Wizard are DJs that have played a huge significance in my sound. As for more of a production level it would have to be Lauer and Skatebard, they hold so much consistency through all their work its incredible! But, the person I’ll always hold the upmost respect for is Gerd Janson, an outstanding DJ/Producer/Label Owner and amazing role model - an all round gentleman!

How did you make the leap from bedroom DJ to a US tour?

I believe networking is a huge key to moving forward in anything creative industry and was a huge part of making this happen! But of course it can only take you so far; long sleepless nights on my DAW, working on the label and generally building my brand all put me in a position for this crazy dream to become a reality.

Advice of getting your music heard by the right people?

Again, networking is the best thing you can do for yourself! Make some new friends, share music, support your local scene - don’t be afraid to put yourself out! Make enough noise and people will listen, identify where you want to be and back track on the steps to take to get there.

Closing track of an all night long set?

This changes like the weather there’s so much good music, so I’m going to cheat and say out of two, something boogie and balearic like ‘Daniel Wang - Don’t Go Lose This’ or ‘Fire Flight - Wantin U’
