First up, apologies for not getting the playlist up from last weeks show, unfortunately, as with alot of things, the amount of volcano ash in the air has wrecked havoc with the computers and as such the playlist from last weeks show has been lost for good... We will try and piece it together from memory as soon as we can!
Now, to this weeks show!
Aside from all the usual frivolity first up we have Mebbo trying on his housier hat for the night, he's told me during the week that he has dug up some corkers, so I guess we will let our ears be the judge come saturday night!
Also joining in on the action this week in the studio is Edgar Roex, the local dutchman that is only ever keen to play good tunes. Recently signing to the weekly soundpond stable, it is only fitting that the big guy swing by for a mix and chat!! Expect a bag of tracks from the toolroom plus plenty more from this guy who just loves the dutch funk!!
Also this week one of the unsung heroes of the UK house music scene, James Talk joins in for a mix.. The 27-year-old Southampton talent has been DJing half his life, and over the last 7 years has carved a name for himself in the production world as one the most talented groove-makers around. Whether it’s the straight-up, chunky acid and tech house sound that he’s best known for, or the flashes of anthemic genius in his tracks with Ridney, his productions are always filled with colour, character, and funk.
Having graced world-leading labels like Get Physical, CR2, Bedrock, Noir, Saved and fabric in recent years, he’s kicked off the new decade in sterling form with his stomping, peak-time remix of M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade’s Donut. In addition, he’s got releases coming up throughout 2010 on acclaimed labels like Blu-Fin, Great Stuff Recordings and Global Underground.
After playing many of the world’s most revered clubs over the last two years – including Tokyo’s Womb, Chicago’s Spy Bar, London’s Ministry Of Sound, Manchester’s Sankeys and Toronto’s Footwork – he’ll be continuing to tour the globe extensively throughout 2010, with many more exciting plans afoot for the year. His successful Radio 1 Essential Mix from September 2009 will be followed on by a third guest mix for John Digweed’s Transitions show.
In an age when the continental European sound dominates the house and techno scene, James Talk remains one of the UK’s brightest talents, reminding the world where tech house came from in the first place. A breath of fresh air from the droves of posturing scenesters and minimal chinstrokers, his is a sound which goes back to the visceral essentials.
