Excited this month to welcome Cottam to the fold. Have been a huge fan of Cottam for many years, so much so he has his own little section on the record shelves. A true master at deep electronic machine music with soul. Cottam closes out this episode of the Reframe from the 2h 9min mark with his classic deep electronic sound.

Ahead of that, this month we have delved into the record shelves and play a predominantly vinyl selection, much new and some nods back to earlier times and some recent acquisitions from times past. It’s a building selection of electronic music from the deeper edges including music from Contours :: Jesse Futerman & Peaking Lights ::  Craven faults :: Dubtribe Soundsystem :: Massimiliano Pagliara :: Linkwood & Other Lands :: RBJ :: Zmatsutsi :: Buyu :: Posthuman :: Ashes to machines :: Parkway Rhythm :: Bastian Carrar :: Fred Everything :: Hidden Spheres :: Red Rack’em :: Joyce :: Life Recorder :: Big Strick and Norm Talley

As always appreciate you support and if you enjoy share with likeminded folk xx

The ReFrame & Cottam

Move D & Dolan Bergin have a special bond. In between busy schedules the pair have become close friends.

There is little left to be said about David Moufang which has not already been spoken, his continued importance to club music makes him one of the definitive figures within the genre. Across decades he has released some of the most influential records in dance, his commitment to current trends and the ongoing discovery of new music is admirable. This is what to this day makes his DJ sets so profound and exciting. 

Dolan Bergin is the man behind Electric Minds, the much loved club night and label which has travelled the world. Based out of London the label is about to celebrate it's tenth anniversary, however we have now been informed that this will be the closing act for Electric Minds. Across the label's existence they have released music by the likes of Endian, Jay Shepeard, Fold and Move D himself. It's closure will be missed. 

This edition of the Ransom Note mix is taken from a party earlier this year at Robert Johnson in Germany. It sees label boss Dolan Bergin go back to back with Move D across six hours. Strap in.

First 2 hours = Dolan
second 2 hours = Move D
last two hours = Move D & Dolan

Siah Shekar w/ Sinéad | Live on hydeFM | 05/21/20

What a damned year. No matter our particular angles or perspective, we can all at least agree on that much. “Unprecedented” in a two-way tie with the shrugging emoji for word of the year. A few highs and glimpses of empowerment, and several lows and mind-boggling low blows to contend with - obstacles masking opportunities, some moments of reflection and time gained, while many other things felt lost. 

One of the more remarkable aspects of 2020 was the sheer number of musical heroes and greats that have left this physical plane within the space of one year. Forces of huge influence, not only for myself but for countless individuals, music scenes, and artists from multiple generations. 

With this in mind for the annual wrap-up edition of the Greasy Listening mix series this year, while there was/is loads of amazing new and upcoming music to be shared and heard, it only feels just to pay respects and homage in memoriam to these many wondrous souls who poured themselves into their work over the last five plus decades, so we can forever be inspired and mesmerized by their greatness. 

While the selections may not be the most iconic/popular/rare or whatnot of each artist’s work, they are simply a few of my personal faves that fit the mix and are meant more as drop-in-the-bucket representatives of the incredibly extensive bodies of work that have been immortalized by these mighty creators (that also come highly recommended you dive into if haven't already).

So here it is: twenty pieces with timeless musical messages by twenty absolute legends that passed on in this most turbulent year of 2020. To the fallen stars, included in the set and not, Rest In Paradise - we offer our sincerest love and condolences to the families, and endless gratitude for the creative guiding light and healing power their music will forever bring us. Love, Peace, and Elbow Grease to all.

This radio special features tracks played by The Guv in his unique DJ sets over the decades. All styles are here. As Dublin DJ legend Billy Scurry noted 'He never let up, in every genre he played. You always knew you were going to be schooled'.

There are anthems here that were played at residencies such as ALFOS  with Sean Johnston, from Double Gone Chapel with Fiona Maguire and Big Vern and from earlier electro/techno residencies such as Haywire &  Bloodsugar.  There are tunes that I heard him play at 110th Street in Galway.  There are tunes that you heard him play, in different Irish and UK towns and cities, over the decades.

Some notes...
I went from 'Smokebelch (beatless)' into 'Spastik' as a listener told me it used to be a routine of his in the 90s.  Another listener heard him "In the middle of a belting techno set, crowd baying - slam Mills-style into ‘higher than the sun dub symphony’ for about 1 min then back into the belters. Doesn’t sound much in the re-tell but at the time was WOW!”
Hence this happening here.

Sean Johnston recounts surprising him by playing Todd Terje edit of M - Pop Muzik. 'I started playing it and got a decidedly arch raising of the eyebrow from the Guv, however as the tune played and the crowd went bonkers, a massive smile spread across his face. It went on to be embraced by Andrew and became an anthem of The Drop years".  Of the hundreds of records that Andrew wowed him with when they played together, one that stood out for Sean was ’Mastership' by Starship Commander Woo Woo.

Why Gary Glitter?  Giles Armstrong, who used to host him at Electric City in Dublin shared this nugget:
"But the night that really stands out in the memory was when he played
upstairs at EC… Dressed like he flew over on his own Spitfire, he proceeded to play a set of Rockabilly oddities that peaked with Gary Glitters ‘I'm The Leader Of The Gang.’  Only he could get away with playing that!"

Simon Conway shared this:
winc -  ‘thoughts of a tranced love’
the tivoli theatre, dublin october 1994. lights on. they think it's all over...
"don't go away, don't leave me now, i thought your love was here to stay"
...it is now.

We also hear the lovely voice of Gerard Sheehy, the Cork trawlerman who influenced Andrew's famous motto and tattoos as ALFOS requiem track 'Serenade' by Tom Demac plays.  I had only located him 24 hours prior to going on air. The planets were aligned.
