Sunday Eve Show (17.04.11): Frivolous

Frivolous was introduced to me as someone who could be the next big thing and indeed when listening to the stuff of Daniel James Gardner (the man himself as the curtain falls) I was amazed by his collage of "experimental-house-and-post-modern-folk"-music. His story is eventfully reaching from a conservatory, raves, clubs in Canada via Berlin, Germany. His sound is fresh, young and dynamic. His live shows are described as adventurous, everchanging and with home-made instruments from his native country.

The Sunday Eve Show focuses on Frivolous` latest album called "Meterology" and gets a taste of Daniel`s understanding in music producing and label work. The tracks of "Meterology" range from dancefloor goodies to personal stories, tipped with a certain sense of humor on top. Check for yourself...

Likewise less frivolous music and more of Frivolous`s music, he he, nice wordplay. The next big thing ... I hope so, too.

Sunday Eve Show (19.06.11): Hotflush Recordings

With dubstep's big push into the mainstream, stirring up all manner of hybrids, variants and mutations, it's worth remembering that some have been creating fresh twists on the current generation of global bass music from its very inception.

Since 2003 Paul Rose, aka Scuba, and his Hotflush label have had experimentation and genre-collision etched into the very structures of everything they do. Putting out key tunes by the core pioneers of dubstep, but also by true outliers like Mount Kimbie, Joy Orbison and Sepalcure, Hotflush has created a sense of absolute consistence in diversity: multiple sounds united by true craftsmanship and high-tech expression of complex emotion.

The latest Hotflush compilation "BACK AND 4TH" features ten brand new exclusive tracks from bass music’s most innovative producers including: dBridge, Roska, Boddika and FaltyDL as well as a collection of essentials from Hotflush’s catalogue with tracks and remixes from James Blake, Untold, Pangaea, 2562 and more.

The sole debut for this compilation comes from Incyde. Originally from outside Boston, he first became involved with Hotflush in 2007 while living in London on a university work program. Soon after Scuba’s relocation to Berlin, Alex moved to New York City and became a resident of the nation’s founding dubstep event, Dub War. Progressively focusing more of his energies on enhancing his mind-bending DJ sets, his productions were first met with support by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1. This is surely only the beginning to
Incyde’s path as a music producer, as he melts and reshapes broken beats and bass into his own signature concoctions.

That's why Incyde joins today my Sunday Eve show for a Hotflush special with a 60 minutes dj mix. No more, no fewer, just listen!
