1020 Radio - 2 Hours of Scottish w/ Vinnie (Thinktank) & Stepback Records

Hailing from Kilkenny, Ireland, Polytunnel is a meeting point of sounds and interests, not bound by genre or scene. Having cut his teeth as a resident DJ at Dublin venue The Bernard Shaw for years, he eventually made the move to Glasgow in 2019. The same year he caught the attention of London-based party starters, Childsplay, where he released his debut 12” Time 2 Time.

His style of melodic electro mixed with breakbeat influenced acid has seen his music gain acclaimfrom the likes of Mixmag, DJ Mag, Inverted Audio, XLR8R and supported by the late great Andrew
Weatherall on his much-missed NTS show, Musics Not for Everyone.
Since moving to Glasgow, he has released on Placids We’re Going Deep imprint released his full follow up to 2019s Time 2 Time in the form of Bioacoustics on Glasgow Institution, Seventh Sign Recordings, which received support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Dan Curtin, Vladimir Ivkovic, nd_Baumecker, Ryan Elliot, Marcel Dettmann, Ame, Truncate, Chris Seg and James Zabiela.

Keeping busy with his own labels, Moot Tapes and Made Magnetic, there are also plenty of solo releases on the horizon for the likes of Alien Communications, Ornate Music and Partout. Ruchill Raw EP explores the deeper side of electro perfect for late night summer dance floors.

I dont often share recordings from my longer club sets but Open Ground is somewhere i instantly felt comfortable and I enjoyed these 6 hours so much that I felt compelled to share them with you.

Hands down, one of the best, if not THE best soundsystem in the world right now! If you ever get the chance to experience it, don’t miss out.

Enjoy!
