Ooof I've recovered from Fridays Sambuca mega rave to sort out a special festive treat for you all on tonights NSB Radio Beatz and Bobz show.
Me and Lex will be banging out the tunes for the second hour, but Ive invited fellow Beatz and Bobz residents James Gill and DJ Andromeda to do a 30min guest mix each for the first hour of the show.
Heres a quick blub and links to the residents...
DJ Andromeda
My name is Amanda Kyriakou, grew up in Athens, where I began djing. I became aware of the dance music scene when studying at Art School in Britain, and since then the music has taken over. Always striving to be different, I found my niche in the early days of Breaks, which to this day remains a scene that is healthily growing and evolving.
After experimenting with a live sound with a percussionist and a scratch DJ in the late 90s, I hooked up with music producer DAN CAHILL and we formed DISTRACTION/DIVERSION.
We have released under FUNCTIONAL label and INFLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. I co-ran Taunton's SUBSONIC night between 2000-2004 @Cafe Mamba, where I had the priviledge of playing alongside many Breaks masters.
I often appear at GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL and BEAUTIFUL DAYS, and it has taken me to far away places such as Bulgaria and Berlin.
I have residencies at Exeter's infamous BEATZ & BOBZ night, and you can also catch me at the North Bridge Inn at regular intervals on Thursdays : SQUEEZE nights. I am currently busy in the studio with BEN OAKLEY under the guise of RAW BALANCE!
James Gill
I am me, you should know me really, or maybe your just finding out?
You can catch me on the wheels of steel at the UK's longest running Breakbeat night of 10 years Beatz & Bobz, warming up for the likes of James Lavelle, Elite Force, Soul of Man, Plump DJ's, Rennie Pilgrim, Dreadzone, Radioactive Man, The Rogue Element, Atomic Hooligan and lots more with fellow residents & Westcountry Warriors Ben & Lex.
Or you may have caught me at my own nights JamTheChannel, Earwax, Synchronicity or Soundcheck (rip) at various venue's in Exeter. Soundcheck which ran for 4 years saw the likes of Inland Knights (drop music) Switch (dubsided) Bionic Bump Band (2020vision) Chemical Brothers Tour DJ James Holroyd & Regular appearances from Sonny Wharton & the Cream of the local House Heads.
After Soundcheck was put to bed JamTheChannel was born, starting off with a selection of the Southwest's up and coming DJ's including Markutz (retox/random audio) Dave Goebel,Krafty Sounds(squeeze),Lettis(sos soundsystem), Damo(magik bullet/everywhere),Compo(breaksphere)+ loads more.
After the summer JamTheChannel took it up a notch, with myself and Resident Laughinboy fully in control we nailed our sound down to Jackin Fidget House with the help of our Scratchmeister DJJD and our friends at Squeeze Redbelly & Krafty Sounds + more special locals.
This year brings JamTheChannel's first Festival outing by having a whole tent for the weekend at Aeon Festival on dartmoor, and welcome our first big guest to JamTheChannel with Herve (dubsided) coming do to help us rock our room at Mega Rave - Synchronity :)with more guests to come so watch this space.
Or if all that shit is way over your head how about checkin out another baby of mine The Charity Chop Soundsystem, this cheeky little number is me & fellow DJ's Laughing Boy & Redbelly (squeeze/pulseradio.net) digging deep into Charity Shops and finding the golden tunes of yesteryear, spinning Rave/Motown/Hip House & TV Themetunes all mashed up with over the top scratching for full affect Oh and we dress up aswell :)
So dont forget to tune in to night on NSB
Radio from 9pm till 11pm for our festive show.
Benny.
