Bside Incoming: DJ Headset

For our 122nd show we venture across the pond to Copenhagen, where our guest takes us on a personal guided tour of his eclectic record collection. ‘Eclectic’ is a term often overused when introducing DJs, yet when playing the a jazz wine bar in the afternoon then smashing a 6am club techno techno set, it seems more than adequate term to describe his style.

Originally from Norway, DJ Headset has spent his recent years spinning his musical discs in clubs all around Scandinavia. Being an original ‘Italian of the North’, DJ Headset’s quirky and odd-ball sound has manifested infectious happiness on the dance floor earning him the privilege of playing at the prestigious Danish club Jolene and founding his own night there ‘time suit’ with DJ Popup and En Anden. With clubs shut, DJ Headset continues his passion of sharing music though his residency on Nowhere Radio.

When describing his show for us he stated,

‘This mix is en eclectic mix of everything from Danish Eurovision tracks via British synth pop, some Italian disco and lastly a long dubbed out mix of an amazing Norwegian pop tune. I’ve tried to put together some very different tracks that have one thing in common — they make me smile’.

And smile you will.

Bside Incoming: Charlotte Tuesday

This time we welcome a DJ from Aberdeen who has made a name for herself playing various bars around Glasgow and some of Edinburgh’s best clubs with All Night Passion and the Edinburgh Disco Lovers, as well as holding down a disco/italo/house focussed residency with Clyde Built Radio: It’s Charlotte Tuesday.

Her DJ career began in Glasgow where she is soon to be returning to the decks at The Locale with the newly formed collective Glasgow Party Scum. Alongside her boyfriend and past guest Temple Sniper, their mixes are defined by the kind of feel good energy often associated with the city’s thriving scene.

For her instalment of Bside Incoming, Charlotte gives us a nostalgic insight into the funky disco records that shaped the foundations of her collection, with a few current favourites thrown in for good measure.

Bside Incoming Cleymoore

Hot on the heels of his record label showcase, the Pluie/Noir boss is treating us to another quality episode packed full of Bside gems from his own personal collection. It is with great pleasure we present: Cleymoore.

Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, Bruno Santos has been honing his craft in Berlin where his proficiency in graphic design and music production have combined to create an original and expressive audio/visual flavour to his style.

His founding of Pluie/Noir and co-management of Rings of Neptune has not pushed only himself, but given platform to rising artists such as Vlad Caia, Diogo and Atree, as well as veterans like Peter Inspirescu and Fumiya Tanaka

His talent at the turntables has taken him to some awesome clubs and festivals across the world, so what a privilege to welcome Cleymoore to the Bside podcast and share his treasured collection with the world: We’ll join him on his ongoing exploration of IDM and all its derivatives, dreamy DnB, electro, and left-field house music.

Holding down a residency with both Algorhythm and Body Heat, and with regular appearances for The Lunacy Module, Ernesto is no stranger to the city’s incredible scene.

True to form, this episode will be marked by his signature synth driven melodies, from funk through to new wave, this one is sure to put a smile on your face.

Bside Incoming: Gallegos

We’re very pleased to present the latest instalment of the Bside Incoming series from Bristol based DJ, Producer, Record Collector, and ‘Room Service’ Label boss: Gallegos.

@gallegos_1991

He’s plenty of experience behind the decks, as the founder and resident DJ of SHAPES in Bristol, where he’s warmed up for some of the very best in the business: Carl Craig, Omar S, Deetron and Move D. Since his debut release on Banoffee Pies in 2017, he’s maintained a steady stream of original and infectious dance records including his ‘B45’ EP which was featured by Chaos in the CBD for their essential mix. Gallegos now has an imprint of his own called ‘Room Service Recordings’, with his first release on the label providing a fitting conclusion to a Bside episode which explores the influences that brought him to where he is today.

Known for his dance music sets, but always unrestricted by genre, Gallegos is revered for his versatility and unpredictability. So, what a privilege to have excellent history of his broad musical influences, hip-hop, disco boogie, breaks and beats samples, Balearic, house and techno reminiscent of the Bristol rave scene, and an episode packed full of passion and nostalgia.

Bside Incoming: Estimulo

We’re delighted to touch back down in Berlin to hear from one of the city’s most stalwart deep-house supporters. A two-hour exploration into the collection of a man searching for the soul in all things electronic music. We give the warmest of welcomes to Esti, known widely as Estimulo.

@estimulo

Esti’s entry into music was one of intense curiosity: chopping up radio recordings from a young age and assorting them into mock radio shows of his own. Borne from an unquenchable thirst for groovy electronic sounds, and after becoming infatuated by “The Big Beat on Fridays”, a radio show active in 1988, he set upon a quest to collect as many house records as possible. This emphatic drive led to his dabbling with pirate FM radio in 1990, when finally, Esti could broadcast the sounds he loved with his neighbourhood. Though sadly, his childhood dream was cut short by the authorities soon after...

Esti, however undeterred, soldiered on with a smile, and the spoils of his devotion are evident in the thirty years that have elapsed since then. He now operates a long-standing record label and internet-radio show, Mixomat Recordings and the EstimuloShow respectively, and has performed in some of the most revered institutions in Europe: namely Tresor, Berghain and ADE. These such outings have also led to performances alongside esteemed acolytes like Gerd Janson, Fantastic Man, Shed and I-F.

For someone with such a colourful career in electronic music, you’d expect his early influences and musical ventures to reflect in his Bside episode, and they certainly do. Staying true to his innate connection with deep electronic sounds, Esti guides us through curious downbeat IDM, emotive house and Italo, woozy two-step, and juddering, euphoric breaks. Proving to us that he can indeed find the soul in everything.

Bside Incoming: Tech Support

This week’s episode comes from one of Brighton’s brightest prospects, Ned Dickinson. Ned has been producing under multiple aliases since his late teens, but has since found lasting comfort in his leading moniker, Tech Support.

@tech-supportuk

A DJ/producer who began self-releasing his earliest creations through Bandcamp, Ned’s earnest artistry wasn’t going unnoticed: his hip-shaking, deep disco groovers like ‘Sweetest Pain’, and pulsating house jams like ‘Endlessly’, soon enticed the likes of Black Loops, Laurence Guy and Late Night Tuff Guy. Since then Ned has aligned himself with such respected labels as Dansu Discs, HOMAGE, and Nerang Recordings who back in 2017 pit Tech Support against our most recent guest, J Wax for a producer showdown… the jury’s out on this one.

Four years on and Ned has only expanded his palate. His keen interest in dub and reggae is mirrored not only by his latest release, but in the opening tracks of his Bside episode, too. Finding immense satisfaction in the “slinky drums” and expansive dreamscapes personified by his dub techno and downtempo selections. Ned’s a crate-digger at heart, and we need no persuasion as he moves naturally through chuggy balearic beats, Italo realms and soulful disco cuts.

We’re looking forward to seeing what’s next for Tech Support, but in the meantime we’ll be plugging in to this charming crusade through his record bag.

Bside Incoming: J Wax

This midweek episode is another chance to showcase some local talent with an Edinburgh based DJ/Producer, who has a reputation for creating high energy electro beats that never fail light up a dance floor: J Wax

Don’t take our word for it… this track, Uber, from his debut EP ‘Port to Port’ is guaranteed to get you moving.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxDbuW87zJY

As always on Bside, we get the chance to taste a different flavour of our guests record collection. Hip hop, The Happy Mondays, The Clash, The Beatles, and of course a small dose of the electronic influences on his own artistic expression.

Bside Incoming: R.Kitt

The latest instalment of the Bside Incoming series is brought to you by a DJ/Producer from Dublin, owner of the Oriann record label, and host of Lifeline on Dublin Digital Radio: R.Kitt.

We’re feeling lucky, not just to have a guided tour through R.Kitt’s favourite Bsides, but a deep dive into his musical philosophy: his optimistic vision where the unity and positivity of electronic music is transposed into wider society, where the powerful connection of club communities can inspire change for the better.

Whether it be his radio shows, his record label, his electrifying live sets, or his exciting new audio-visual experiment alongside AVA Festival, all of his artistic projects are defined by a deep desire to connect himself, and those around him, to the indescribable search for something larger than ourselves.

Thanks R.Kitt for sharing the power of music!

Bside Incoming: Third Son

We’re certainly excited to bring you another episode of Bside Incoming, this time from a prolific producer and extremely talented DJ from London. Only seven years on from his debut release the impressive quantity of his output is only exceeded by its quality. A very warm welcome for Third Son.

His passion for music has always been at the forefront of his life, and his drive to create the best music he can undeterred. His father, a professor of music, ensured his classical training began from an early age. This served to bolster his enthusiasm with a deep knowledge of the art, and would later become very useful when his inspiration for electronica was sparked by Radiohead’s ‘Kid A’.

As evidenced by a huge array of releases, and this episode of the Bside podcast, his love for electronic music blossomed. His knowledge combined with his curiosity for the experimental elements of dance music never fails to impress.

Shouts to https://soundcloud.com/radiobuenavida for letting us premier the show on their airwaves! They have so many great shows, check em out. You will find us there with our residency the 1st and 3rd wednesday of the month, 5-6pm.
