Spannered Radio Podcast (all Items)

DJ /rupture came up with a swiftly executed and devastatingly effective musical counterstrike against the re-election of the world's least favourite leader in 2004. Previously hosted on Musicalbear, the mix combines more commercial US productions (opening with Baby Boy and finding room for Terror Squad's anthemic Lean Back) with the usual /rupture mash-up of breakcore, gabba, jungle and general intense, nose-bleeding noise. As a gesture to US Army interrogation techniques, someone really ought to shut George Bush in a steel container and play this to him at full volume until his head explodes or he experiences a sudden conversion to grime and breakcore. A crazed scream interrupts the most laid-back, downtempo part of the mix: don't relax or the Republicans might get away with even more than they already have. The breakbeats are interspersed with evocative classics (like the Honeydrippers Impeach The President) and snatches of lyrics – 'I'm not your typical American' intones one MC, just before the mus

Fresh from remixing Thom Yorke and ripping up club nights in São Paulo, sushi fan and globe-trotting techno legend Surgeon has kindly put together this splendid mix for Spannered. It's 'trippy, mostly broken new stuff and a few old bits', he tells us. Well, after numerous rotations we can honestly say that it's deeper than the Mariana Trench and heavier than a swimming pool full of osmium. Enjoy.   Tracklisting: Ed Chamberlain — Trapese Go Hiyama — Unreleased Scion — Emerge (BMB remix2) Anstam — Aeto_b DJ Hell — Totmacher Add Noise — Handwerk Basic Channel — Enforcement (Mills mix) Inigo Kennedy — Aching To Get Beneath Kraddy — New World Empire (DiskChordians remix) Radial — Premium Oscar Mulero — Baskerbill's Dog (Regis remix) Blackham — The Crusade Warlock — TV controls your mind Ed Chamberlain — Resistant ScanOne — Trotter Surgeon — F

Formally available on the Musicalbear site, this 2004 mix from Heatwave selector Gabriel (formerly known as Xiquet) has been dusted off and rehosted for all those who missed it the first time around. This boy has some pedigree: purveyor of the finest dancehall reggae and ragga as part of various crews for five years at dancefloors in London, Barcelona, Bristol, Manchester and Valencia. He's also been responsible for the always-rammed Santa Raid parties at Electrowerkz, The Lifthouse and various other east London venues over the past five years. To top that he's a resident at at 333's dancehall jam, Cherry Pie and his own night Heatwave at the The Pool, London.   Tracklisting: The Hammer Rhythm Chico – Gangster All The Way Elephant Man – Exercise Time Shams – The Hammer Beenie man – No Under Age Wanted Rhythm Bobby & Burro – Wanted T.O.K. – Gal You A Lead Bounty Killer – Mr Wuk More Creeper Rhythm Sherlene Boodram

Gabriel's December 2004 Musical Bare Dancehall Mix was downloaded thousands of times from the Musicalbear site. Twelve months on the DJ from the Heatwave collective returned with another selection of some of the hottest dancehall tunes around at the time. The mix opens with a few of Gabriel's own blends on the massive, funked-up Doosra riddim, a production from Manchester's Spybase. The instrumental is blended with some classic 90s ragga vocals and a single from Ms Thing, plus the acapella from Sunshine, the first release on Heatwave’s own label, Scandal Bag. Following on are extended version excursions on one of the latest Dave Kelly productions, Bad Gal and the Coolie Dance-esque Kopa riddim. Other featured rhythms include the squelchy, electro sounds of Phantom and Strip Tease, the dark 'n' dirty Dancehall Rock and the decidedly non-dancehall funk of Money Juggling, plus a bit of soca niceness, sizzling ska from Sizzla and a Heatwave remix on the collective's own bootleg label, Punchline.   Mi

Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Todd Osborn aka Soundmurderer has gained a reputation as one of most exciting junglists to emerge from the US. Owner of the sought-after Rewind Records imprint, Todd set up the first ever drum 'n' bass store in Detroit, Dubplate Pressure. He was finally given the props he deserves through his colossal Wired For Sound mix CD, released on Tigerbeat6 sub-label Violent Turd in 2003, and has spent recent years dropping ballistic ragga-charged jungle sets from his laptop to crowds pretty much all over the place. Anyone following his musical trajectory will also know of his acid, house, booty, Detroit techno and experimental works on labels such as Spectral, Throw, TNT, Databass and ~scape. This set was recorded at Bashout in Bristol on 9 December 2006, when Soundmurderer played alongside DJ Hidden, Parasite and a host of other acts. Rising from the ashes of Bristol's mentalist Toxic Dancehall jams, Bashout dishes out a thunderous dose of bottom end therapy every few months at the ci

"In 1913 Futurist Luigi Russolo developed several noise machines, which he named ‘intonarumori’. In his manifesto, The Art of Noise, Russolo argued that musical instruments could no longer satisfy man's thirst for sounds. Almost 100 years later, people are still exploring the possibilities of sound. This is what I tried to capture in this mix - testing the limits of sound, from shrieking highs to almost imperceptible lows, finding new ways of interpreting and portraying life through the medium of sound. Despite including over 100 artists, the mix by no means represents a completist viewpoint; so many perhaps important artists in the development of 'noise' were left out. It was not my intention to do a 'who's who' of noise music, but rather to show how the exploration of sound has developed over time and how fascinating these explorations are. I did at times take into account the historical significance of the piece/artist when choosing tracks, although I was steered mainly by what was sonical

Tony Child aka Surgeon is one of the musicians currently setting the standard for performing with Ableton Live software. Recorded in October 2005 at !emergency! in Bristol, Surgeon navigates through deep, frazzled techno terrain, dropping in curveballs from Squarepusher to Horace Andy along the way.

Filastine released his debut LP Burn It on DJ /rupture's Soot Records imprint earlier this year. The album showcases his skill as percussionist and vision as a producer, combining a globe-trotting sensibility with deft programming. Arabic, Brazilian and other traditions meet crunching street beats to create an album that is widely travelled but still rooted in a carefully crafted individual aesthetic. This mix showcases Filastine's live show, which has a rowdy edge not so audible on his studio work. The same striking fragments of recorded sounds heard on the record are combined with dubstep, breakcore, grime, dancehall and loops and acapellas from other cutting edge club sounds. Add the spice of live percussion, played on a darbouka, midi drums, and a shopping trolley, and you have the recipe for something very tasty indeed. The Gramaphone session was recorded at a Soot Records party in London which was held for the launch of Filastine's album in June 2006. DJ /rupture, Heatwave and Uberdog also played and t

El Kano is the graphic design lynchpin of the Adverse Camber collective, a motley bunch of South London dwellers who, despite putting on events with scary names such as 'The Night of Awesome Power', will always take the time to make you a nice cup of tea (though you may have to nip down the shop to get biscuits). He used to be called Kano, but couldn't be bothered beefing with the numerous other Kanos laying claim to the name, so now he's El Kano, which is cooler anyway. His DJ mixes are consistently badass, and he's put this one together especially for Spannered.
