Nigel Dawson - Spatial 002 - November 2021 - Proton Radio

Nigel was resident DJ at Renaissance UK from 1992-2008. He moved to Sydney, Australia in 2008 and dropped out of the music scene for 10 years. 
In 2018 he came back to his passion and started to enjoy the music again and got involved with doing mixes , including Balance. 
He concentrated his own monthly radio show hosted on Proton Radio called Spatial that  ended after 3 years.

I've been listening to electronic music since I was old enough to tune into the John Peel show on Radio 1. Peel first introduced me to Chicago House, Detroit Electro and Rap. I would listen to an entire show with my finger hovering over the record button of my 'tape-recorder' close to the radio speaker just to record whatever 3 electronic imports he would play each night. I wish I'd kept those recordings.
From the moment I first heard 'Roxanne Shante' I sought out everything I could ranging from Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Kurtis Mantronik, Africa Bambata, Grandmaster Flash, Gorgio Morodor, Axel-F, Jean Michel Jarre and just about anyone who used a synth to make music! With the arrival of House in the mid-late 80's the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, Adonis and many more American underground House producers, the music had developed into a new, seriously exciting phenomena.
Music progressed at pace with House and Acid imports driving change, the UK in particular underwent an epiphany of sorts in the 80's and 90's. From Break-Dancing to New Romanticism, the music developed, finally morphing into the early genres of Acid Trance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Heavily influenced by American and underground Dutch and German artists and with the advent of clubbing and non-speaking mixing DJ's, it opened up a Pandora's box of new music, influences, sounds and styles. What that amounted to for me (and most others like me) was an ever-growing range of electronic music that was continually breaking free from pigeon-holes and mainstream pop culture. Electronic music had become the new classical music of a generation.
I can only say that electronic or computer music has evolved beautifully in the past 40 years and I love it as much now as the day I first heard John Peel play fantastic American imports.
I'm not anything more than a bedroom DJ and electronic music enthusiast. I have the greatest admiration for those who DJ publicly and seek to build a following or career from DJing, but that’s not a path I’ve tried to follow. I do love to put together great tunes, so for me using this sort of platform for sharing music is perfect for me. I do mixes both on my decks and using Ableton, as sometimes I find it easier to create a journey through that medium. 
As for making music, I’m slowly finding my way around Ableton in order to bring life to the musical ideas rolling around my head. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes I post, please give me some feedback and if nothing else, support the artists themselves and buy their music.

From the rugged landscapes of the North East to his formative years in the South West, Matt Black’s three-decade odyssey through electronic music stands as a testament to unwavering passion and artistic evolution. When he transplanted himself to London’s vibrant scene in 1991, it wasn’t just a change of address—it was the catalyst for a lifelong love affair with the transcendent power of dance music culture. Though initially captivated by the frenetic energy of hardcore and drum & bass, everything changed when the hypnotic progressions of a John Digweed mixtape found their way to his ears in 1994, revealing the sonic path he was destined to follow.

Matt cut his teeth in South London’s intimate pub circuit, where raw talent and dedication eventually opened doors to his breakthrough club performance in 1995. What followed was a meteoric rise through London’s notoriously competitive underground scene, where his signature blend of melodic textures and driving rhythms earned him coveted slots at industry touchstones. From the sweaty, packed rooms of Empathy in Bristol to the legendary decks of The Gallery in London, and across international borders to Poland and Mexico, Matt’s musical journey has left an indelible mark on dance floors that transcends geographical boundaries.

In the studio, Matt has emerged as a formidable production force with an ear for the sublime. His collaboration with progressive house pioneers Lexicon Avenue on “The Farthest” didn’t merely chart on Beatport—it captivated listeners and DJs alike with its meticulously crafted soundscape and emotional resonance. This success has been far from isolated, with Matt’s musical fingerprint gracing releases on industry powerhouses Perfecto Black, Bonzai Progressive, Balkan Connection, and Krafted Underground. Perhaps most telling is the caliber of support his productions command, with luminaries Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Guy J—true architects of the progressive sound—regularly featuring his work in sets that define the genre’s cutting edge.

The airwaves have become Matt’s second home through his twin radio residencies, each showcasing different facets of his encyclopedic musical knowledge. The monthly “Housefeelings” broadcast on Frisky Radio has become a sanctuary for deep, emotive selections, while his enduring “Acoustic Pleasure” show on Proton Radio stands as one of the platform’s most cherished offerings. Both programs consistently attract electronic music’s most respected voices as guests, creating a forum where boundaries dissolve and pure musical expression reigns supreme.

With an arsenal of unreleased material currently being perfected in his studio sanctuary, Matt Black continues to push his artistry into bold new territories. As these forthcoming projects prepare to emerge from the shadows, one thing remains certain: the dance music landscape will be all the richer for having this sonic architect’s vision within it.

Somerled's influences have evolved from these early days to now include anything on the spectrum of electronica from acid house to progressive trance to drum and bass. With many up and coming producers re-framing the original sounds of the 90s with vastly improved production tools and techniques, Somerled is now inspired to go back to his roots and mix tracks close to his heart.
