Bside Incoming: Andrea Montalto (Club Mediterraneo)

We’re very pleased to welcome the incredible Andrea Montalto back to the Bside Podcast, making Bside history as the first double booking. His last appearance was a master class of the mellow live at the Bside HQ, this time, however he’s sending us the good vibes all the way from Sicily.

Andrea remains an integral part of the Edinburgh scene, as a co-founder of the city’s leading community radio station EHFM, a record dealer, and resident of the Cowgate’s finest establishment Sneaky Pete’s. These accolades earning him the right to share the decks with very best: Young Marco, Gilles Peterson, Stump Valley, and Nu Guinea.

Now back in Italy, his radio career continues with Mondonero and he will soon be managing Malamore Records from June. We’re always excited to hear where Andrea Montalto’s selection will take us and we were not disappointed!

In contrast to the ambient mood of his live podcast, we get a glimpse into the jazzy/Italo/Afro infused disco energy he can bring to the party.

Enjoy!

Bside incoming: Sunni D

In episode #152 we welcome Sunni D!

Beginning his journey on the airwaves of local radio stations, Daniel has now become an exciting prospect within the London circuit, having performed at venues such as Spiritland and booked to play under the likes of John Morales and Kirollus in early June. 

Nowadays, he is no stranger to the radio airwaves, busying himself by backpacking around his hometown armed and ready with the finest feel-good selections for his respective monthly shows on LooseFM, Voices Radio and Brixton Radio. 

Daniel’s reverence for uplifting dance music encompasses retro disco, funk and soul from all corners of the globe, persistently delving into genres such as zouk, soca, brazilian and rare disco, as well as the more hard-hitting sounds of Brazilian house and UK breakbeat. 

Expect an eclectic mix of goodies this episode, starting off with some soothing soul and grooves from across the African and South American continents, then moving all the way through to early 2000s Brazilian house and 90s breakbeat, and finally finishing off on a euphoric high with some blissful funk and soul classics.

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
