  • Fresh Soup 128: Pete Carvell, Unlucky 13
    Superstition is a load of bullshit, right? Wrong. Having just realised this was his unlucky thirteenth mix, our Pete promptly severed his toe on a picture frame. Bloody hell. Literally. Thankfully the curse didn't extend to this Soup session itself, Mr Carvell pumping out a typically rollicking affair that contains new music from Boys Noize, Perel, and Who Made Who, as well as a Frrrrresh drop from the elusive Burial which is as absolutely bonkers as it is brilliant.

  • Fresh Soup 127: DJ Simm, Can I Get a Rewind?
    What do you call it, garage? What do you call it, urban? What do you call it, 2-step? At the end of the 1990s, skipped garage beats were forming a new evolution of sound in urban dance music; flooding dancefloors from East London to Ayia Napa with good vibes, attitude and eccentric MCs. Taking the 'speed garage' that Americans Todd Edwards and Armand van Helden had pioneered to a new audience and setting forth a transition that would go on to form UKG and dubstep, this hedonistic summer-ready style was a critical juncture for the British underground. Hollering with the rinsin' sound, Fresh Soup's thememaster drops an hour of sun-soaked club music from the golden era of 2-step.

  • Fresh Soup 126: Buck Houston
    From pop to post punk and back again, Buck delves deep into his mixed bag for another session of sounds from the nether regions. More colourful than a set of Downing Street curtains, but much less shady, let Mr Houston take your hand and help you frolic through our late stage capitalism dystopia with gay abandon.

  • Fresh Soup 125: JBdeQ
    Piling up the bangers higher than the stack of bodies Boris Johnson would rather have seen than another lockdown, JBdeQ is back with another hour of clubby, urban-edged house, electro and breaks. Soundtracking the sort of party we're all itching to get our bags out for, crank up the volume, piss off the neighbours, and lose yourself in the moment.

  • Fresh Soup 124: Matthew Egginton
    Inspired in part by Mr Rycroft's recent 'house awakening' Soup session, our very own Duke of Drifty Synths, Matthew Egginton, calls on some of his favourites from "back in the day" for an hour of progressive house that reaches right into the scene's roots; a world of atmospheric arpeggios, of early trance and Renaissance-inspired euphoria.

  • Fresh Soup 123: Øhm Sweet Øhm presents Gigolography

    When you call yourself DJ Hell, it's obvious you want to let your listeners know what to expect. Sure, you could be plundering the Coldplay back catalogue, but you know whatever you're getting yourself into, it's not going to be easy listening. Thankfully, Helmut Geier doesn't seem keen on Chris Martin and his merry band of Tories, his brand of Hell is one of chaotic, punk-laced electronica; and his label, International DeeJay Gigolo Records, is a perfect expression of his sound.

    Founded in 1996, the label was a driving force in the sound that became known as electroclash. From upstarts such as Fischerspooner and Miss Kittin & The Hacker, to stalwarts like Jeff Mills and Dave Clarke, Hell's DIY label gained ground quickly, and established itself as Germany's most successful label of its kind in the new century. Celebrating the very best of its raw energy, Øhm Sweet Øhm plugs into the abode of the damned for a fiery helping of throbbing electro. Straight from Mr Hell's own inferno, this is International DeeJay Gigolo Records.

  • Fresh Soup 122: DJ Simm, 'Ardcore '94

    In the 12 months where fun got banned, nostalgia for packed dancefloors, lasers and big fish little fish dance moves has peaked; the sound of British hardcore being reproduced by kids who weren't even a glint in their parents' massively enlarged pupils, and hipster Instagram accounts ramping up the likes with crackly VHS footage. It's easy to forget, though, that there was huge prejudice at the time toward these raves and their music; and from the dance music community itself.

    They say time heals, and for the hedonistic sound of hardcore, it's a nailed on truism; its sheer joy as infectious as it was back then, without any of the unnecessary and unpleasant elitist sneering that accompanied it. Through soaring piano riffs, falsetto vocals and skipping breakbeats, Fresh Soup's resident theme fan takes us on a blistering ride back to the mid-1990s, laying out the irresistible sound of 'Ardcore '94. You know the score.

  • Fresh Soup 121: Mark Kovich
    Our overlords have spoken and the doors are opening for a summer free from Covid restrictions, the prospect of being as one united under a groove looming ever closer. With sets frequently deeper than a certain German-Greek reptilian will be on Saturday afternoon, Mark Kovich is the man for this moment, his latest Soup session locking in electro, expansive house music, understated synths and squelching melodies fit to soundtrack our pending reunion.

  • Fresh Soup 120: Hilfingerz, GTFU
    If Hilfingerz' last Fresh Soup session was a moment of contemplation and calm, his latest is the storm it preceded; Tom saying no to shamanic mindfulness and a big yes to ass-grindin' mindlessness. GTFU (you can work out the acronym yourself) is a very Hilfingerz celebration of Britain's gateway to bad behaviour finally opening its doors; the next Manchester Renaissance painting as close as it has felt since the sorry shitshow began. From pricks in the arms to pricks in the bars, our world-renowned shamelessness is on the horizon once again. Watch out Boris, you cunt.

  • Fresh Soup 119: Pierre a Soif
    He's got an obsession with Messrs‎ Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo; he's eternally thirsty; and he loves a throbbing banger of a tune. It's the one and only, Pierre a Soif, back to rock you out of your socks with another dose of club-orientated nu-school electronica.
