Bside Incoming: Ruben Spa

Reflecting on Episode 100 with the incredible Detroit In Effect, we just wanted to thank all the people that tune into Bside Podcasts, to everyone who reaches out to us with positive feedback, and of course to all the fabulous guests who take the time to share with us their life’s work of collecting, curating, and sharing all the beautiful music in the world.

Without wanting to sit back and admire this landmark, we move on from number 100 with an international superstar to Episode 101 with someone very close to our heart and an integral member of the Bside team: Ruben Spa

With a big love of music, his graphic design skills, and some social media wizardry, his creativity and passion continues to drive the project forward. Ruben Spa continues to build upon his invaluable knowledge of the industry with his involvement at the Surefire agency. He also runs the Koselig event series in Edinburgh, who booked Hidden Spheres for an evening of mid-week madness at Sneaky Pete’s, before which we recorded an incredible live episode of the podcast. 

It was actually his co-founder of Koselig, James Cook, who recorded the very first episode for the Bside podcast. Over 2 years have passed since then, and the platform has grown substantially: 99 other guests and more than 60,000 listens from all over the world, and lots more in the works. 

So, it felt only right that our beloved Ruben Spa, should welcome us into the second century of Bside. Expect jazzy keys, horns, and chord progressions over house, hip-hop and broken beats, moving through beautifully layered techno and IDM

Here’s to many more!

Thanks to Molly Hickey for the beautiful artwork as always. www.instagram.com/mollyth.art/

Bside Incoming: Ruben Spa

This new episode of Modern Puff enlights the co-founder of Casa Voyager: @vviewtifuljoe. Producer of breakbeat, electro, IDM, Jonas creates tracks as melancholy as they are grooves, always with finesse and super refined. We approach the artist and his career through a selection of five musics that mark phases of his musical journey, between his discoveries and his influences.

Originally from Tuscany but now based in Berlin, WUTU is the co-founder and graphic designer of Paesaggi Records. A curious and passionate collector, he has a soft spot for slower, psychedelic, and evocative cuts.

His guestmix is the result of a very spontaneous session: wonky, lovely, and ever-interesting records just right for an adventurous exploration of urban jungles, featuring music from Paesaggi Records, Planet Trip Records, Growing Bin Records, Edizioni Mondo, Whities and more.

Music is a language. This new label is a hypothetical sound trip between skyscrapers, wild places, deep imaginary oceans in our mistreated, but fascinating globe. No specific musical genre, but a sort of global beat, winking especially at the Balearic sounds. You can call them edits or re-publications, but our belief is that you can make tracks that are extremely expensive, in their original version or that have never been printed on vinyl. Imaginária wants to respect the publishers, authors, producers and musicians of the published songs, but fundamentally you who promote our idea.

This time we hear from Detroit producer and multi-instrumentalist Jason Hogans AKA :brownstudy. Jason's debut on Carl Craig's Planet E in 1998 (after an introduction from Recloose) helped pave a new direction for the seminal label. Since then, he has built a vast discography of creative excursions into electronic music for Mahogani Music, Moods & Grooves Records, FACES Records, and his own Really Nice Recordings. We celebrate his recent Fresh Concerns EP for Alelah Records and his Malletts Creek EP for Theo Parrish's Sound Signature with a two hour journey thru the best songs around.
