SATURO SOUNDS - Saturo Introducing: Progmatic with Jordan Counsel

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.

Manchild AKA Daz 'Manchild' Smith is a Greater Manchester based DJ with house music in its various guises flowing through his veins. Born and bred in Oldham, he has been hooked on music from the moment his Mum squirted him out and his style is almost impossible to pigeon hole due to him playing what he wants. Comfortable playing at any time; whether that be warmup, peak, closing time or sexy time, all the Manchild cares about is that the crowd have the most untold time. 

After only getting back into DJing in mid-2019 after a very long absence and a lot of catching up to do, both musically and with getting himself back up to speed with the latest DJ technology, he fell back in love with the progressive sound all over again and quickly became resident of Manchester brand 'Up Close and Personal Mcr' after catching the eye of promoter Andy Holdsworth. 

Whilst also indulging in breaks, melodic techno, indie dance, house, trance, power ballads and more, Manchild's versatility allows him to flit seamlessly between all of the above. 

Since late 2019 alone, he has regularly played with the likes of James Zabiela, John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren, Cristoph, Anthony Pappa, Jody Wisternoff (numerous times), Patrice Bäumel, Marsh, Nox Vahn, Jeremy Olander, Sébastien Léger, Roy Rosenfeld, Tim Green, Cosmic Gate, Grum, John 00 Fleming, Richie Blacker, Mr Sosa, Estiva, Boxer, Trilucid, My Friend, Fehrplay, Cream, Marcus James (Renaissance), Dave Pearce, Diode Eins, Tommy Farrow, John Kelly, Dave Beer, Asch Pintura, Redfreya and many more at venues such as London's Studio 338, Ministry of Sound, EGG, the Steel Yard; Manchester's Progress, Stage & Radio, and not to mention his many appearances at his favourite venue - Joshua Brooks'. 

With his own night 'You Think You Know Me' in the pipeline, there is plenty more to come from the Manchild hun.
