Following my recent warm up set at the penultimate "Studio89" party here in Cardiff with Axel Boman (08/11/13), I've pieced together a mix of most of the records that were played on the night to share with those of you who couldn't make it, and for those of you who are still feeling warm and fuzzy from such a great evening. I hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane :)

Studio89: "One of those nights"

Artist: Tom Churchill
Title: Personal Interpretation
Label: Inndeep
Cat No: INNDEEP001
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Personal Interpretation
A2. First Principles
AA1. Crossed Wires


Over the last two years, the Innate and We’re Going Deep labels – run by friends Owain K and Placid respectively – have become must-check imprints for those seeking brand-new, timeless-sounding electro, deep house, acid and techno. Now the pair are joining forces on a new collaborative venture that looks to the past for inspiration: InnDeep.

Focused on unearthing and showcasing slept-on gems from across the deep spectrum, the reissue-focused label will have an emphasis on UK producers and imprints whose work in the ‘90s and 2000s has arguably been criminally overlooked.

To kick things off, they’re taking a deep dive into the back catalogue of Headspace Recordings and Emoticon co-founder Tom Churchill, a Welsh producer whose trademark take on deep house achieved cult status in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The Personal Interpretation EP was first released on Headspace way back in 1997, and dates back to a time when Tom was the very definition of a bedroom producer. He created the EP’s three tracks while still a teenager and mixed them down using the same pair of headphones he used for DJing.

Now painstakingly remastered, the EP sounds every bit as immersive and intergalactic as it did at the tail end of the last millennium. On the EP-opening title track, Churchill builds a sturdy, chunky groove out of clicking, hissing and metallic percussive elements and a wonderfully deep, tactile bassline, over which gorgeous chords, melodic motifs and eyes-closed vocal snippets stretch out as if reclining in the afternoon sun.

Churchill opts for a deeper, Detroit-influenced sound on ‘First Principles’, with undulating electronics and a raw analogue bassline working in unison with ghostly chords and deep space melodies, while ‘Crossed Wires’ is a tispy, off-kilter epic – all breathless drum machine rhythms, pots-and-pans percussion, woozy chords and weighty sub-bass. It provides a fittingly energetic, out-there end to a long-overlooked EP that remains as fresh now as it did back in 1997.

Owain K B2B Placid @ Depth Perception (Cloak & Dagger 03 - 12 - 22)

Hi

This is a live recording from The Love Inn, before Domenic took over.  Plenty of deep house to chew on.

Placid & Owain K B2B LIVE @ WGD at The Love Inn 18.11.2022

Joining Bodywork’s sweaty huddle for their latest four-to-the-floor sub shaking routine, Bristol-Welsh Producer and DJ Owain K dusts off his white crimplene suit and disco daps to get himself primed for the latest label release under his ‘K Tel’ alias.

Working the cut, splice and twist-again technique to perfection, Bodywork “ReRubs Vol 1" sees him take on the likes of 80’s innovators Art Of Noise, the mighty Yello and Italo pop outfit Gazebo for a fully oiled treatment.

With less fluff and more of the meaty stuff to go around, we think you’ll agree K Tel’s “ReRubs” are all about bringing all the boys and girls to the yard. Laying out 3 tightly toned versions of these forgotten dance floor gems.

Avenue Red proudly welcomes Owain K, the Bristol don of all things deep and co-label boss of Innate (alongside Tom Gilbert). Owain recently played at our Avenue Red event held at The Loco Klub in Bristol in March 2023, which turned into an incredible 4-hour B2B session with Avenue Red frontman Alec Pritchard. It was recorded and released as part of our Live Sessions series (link below) and the response to this collaboration was very positive!

Owain's first studio mix for our main podcast series is as masterful as it is long overdue... it's a seamless, perfectly paced blend of trippy, melodic, grooving deep house & techno. Get it on!

"The recording is my usual mix n' match of sounds - old, new, deep and true... all with a dub flavour in there somewhere. Although probably more from the deep house sphere on this trip than other sets I might play... Big thank you to Alec for being the ever excellent host! 😎 Enjoy!" Owain K, June 2023

Premiere: Owain K 'Corona Borealis'

After a brief hiatus we are back with CKFM edition 101 & it is worth the wait. 

A definite kindred spirit to us here at Craigie Knowes, he's been doing it better & longer than most. We met in person for the first time earlier on in the year, ate a large amount of Italian food & chatted about music for a few hours before going to support our friends who were playing at Subculture. An unplanned but very much welcomed first meeting.

Raised on a diet of Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, Punk and Reggae, turntables were a natural progression for this Bristol born, Welsh rooted DJ and Producer Owain K (Owain Kimber). After discovering the sounds of bootleg mixtapes and Techno as a youngster in the 90s, he's never been one for sitting still. 

Owain has kindly provided the tracklist for those of you so inclined, we're guessing most of you will be with the quality of the mix.

Placid & Owain K @ We're Going Deep - 27.01.2024

Artist: Various Artists
Title: Volume 10
Label: We’re Going Deep
Cat No: WGD010
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist:

A1. Versalife - Skirmish 101 
A2. Acid Pimp - Acid Baby 
B1. Jamie Anderson & Owain K - Basement Dub 
B2. Konerytmi - Aamunkoitto 


Placid aka Paul Wise is chief in command at ‘We’re Going Deep’ – an expanding online community and record label, born from lifelong affair with the many shades of electronic rhythm and obsession for collecting records since 1988. He’s spent the last 3 decades moving heads and feet at venues, parties and fields across the UK and beyond. 
On a mission to share and release new music via his label, you’ll find only the best in Acid, Electro, IDM, Techno and Deep House for the dance floor, front room or your headphones making the cut. For the 10th and final edition of his much prized various artist series, he unearths more machine fuelled magic: offering another set of equally excellent music from stellar talent.
Starting the dance, Dutch maestro Boris Bunnik dons his Versalife mantle to opens with ‘Skirmish 101’. Setting the machines to cycle, Bunnik fires a hefty slab of bass to bring down the walls whilst pristine robot like rhythms set your body in motion, all enveloped with sparse synthesis and shimmering effects. Crashing the joint with ‘Acid Baby’ - The Acid Pimp drops a no holds barred, riotous 303 workout that’s nothing short of a tour de force in exorcising the power of Roland’s most celebrated silver box. Putting pedal to the metal with drums and reverb, a smiley face or grimace is guaranteed!
Longtime collaborators Jamie Anderson & Owain K reset the dial on the flip with ‘Basement Dub’, a house paced workout that glides at a steady pace. Evoking the spirit of Mood II Swing whilst immersed in the depths of an underwater realm. Ending on the upbeat note of Konerytmi’s ‘Aamunkoitto’, the Finnish producer reflects a breezy disposition with a joyful melody, step-to electro beat and rolling acid bassline – all perfectly balanced to keep your calm and head out in the right direction, a great way to sign off on this highly collectable series.
