The radio show “Audio Texture” tonight at 21.00 (GMT +02:00) on Gaudeamus. The repeat of the show is on Sunday at 17.00 (GMT +02:00).

So loads of nice electronic bits and bobs in this weeks show kicking off with a killer tune from Virtual Boy from their forthcoming album on Alpha Pup due in February, should be a goodie if ‘Memory Of A Ghost‘ is anything to go by. That was followed by some great soul music from Russia of all places, a country gaining a steady reputation for it’s electronic producers but the Valique track is straight out of the American soul handbook. Twit One then kept the vibe rolling with a cheeky little edit of Brazilian soul boy Tim Maia. As you’ve already heard Bonobo has commissioned some great remixes of his Black Sands album from last year and the Falty DL twist of ‘All In Forms‘ we’re sure you’ll agree is another winner.

Mike Gao and Daisuke Tanabe are the latest producers to grace the Faces series of singles from Project Mooncircle and Gao in particular has excelled himself with a great side of deep musical beat excursions as ‘Futuristic Wife‘ ably showcases. The Alchemist and Oh No go under the name of Gangrene and we’re loving the beats on their latest single ‘Vodka & Ayahuasca‘ – pure pysched out beat making, shame the vocals couldn’t live up to the production. The nice boys at Donkey Pitch then, rather sweetly, provided the chopped and screwed soul of ‘Sweat Mode‘ from Ghost Mutt for free! The show then got into some deep progressive jazz with another taster of the great sounding Portico Quartet album which is due very shortly but which still seems too long.

Things then went all dubbed up courtesy of Jah Guidi and Sanguebom an interesting little French outfit who we hope to hear more of before the ever fresh Juan Atkins provided some great electro vibes under his Model 500 guise. Xosar then provided some deep spooky house music before Boddhi Satva graced us with some deep ancestral soul, aided and abetted by Vikter Duplaix’s sweet vocals. Tim Toh then upped the intensity with the percussive monster ‘Pandemonium‘ from his latest sterling effort on Philpot before Raffertie showed his maturing, more spacious, sound with the ‘Mass Appeal‘ title track from his excellent forthcoming EP for the Ninja boys.

Aja & Claire

So off we go again after the Christmas break, back, refreshed and raring to get stuck into some great music whilst ignoring all the hype – no hipster house here thank you. When we read this new micro genre term we didn’t lower ourselves to investigate further but our theory is it’s house music designed for people who are too cool to dance or just haven’t got any co-ordination but to be honest we hope never to find out.

This week started with a song for our bank induced, crisis ridden times with Jeb Loy Nichols covering Pablo Gad’s classic, ‘Hard Times’ to amazing effect and it bodes well for Jeb’s new album. Doctor L, the uncompromising and diverse French producer is also coming through with a new album on Comet and we’re particularly liking the street poetry meets deep jazz beats of ‘Vocal Kidnaping‘ featuring the Unknown Poets. Some classic fusion then followed from The Headhunters who are being re-issued by R2 records in 2012. The label is also embarking on a series of other classic album reissues with a killer program lined up – watch this space!

Classic sounding, new music with a Charles Stepney vibe then followed from Quantic & Alice Russell backed up by the Combo Barbaro with an amazing slice of soul which again bodes more than well for the new album release in April. The Echocentrics ably followed with their interpretation of Timbaland’s ‘We Need A Resolution‘ from a really nice little EP of Timbaland covers done in a live soulful style. Medline then kept the soul vibes flowing on a blaxploitation tip with his excellent, soon to be released ‘Soldier Of Love‘ track – look out for all sorts of releases from him this year. Fresh new talent from Brighton then followed in the shape of the promising J. Biscuits from Brighton who has just put out a lovely little album of eastern tinged beats for free download from his bandcamp page, surely a producer to watch.

John Phonics then kept the beats flowing with a collaboration with Peter Cannon given a Pedestrian remix, from the inaugural release on Prism records another promising label start up. Robert Glasper’s new album is sounding great with all sorts of interesting collaborations and the first single from it, ‘Ah Yeah’ featuring Musiq Soulchild & Chrisette Michele is no exception. Julien Dyne then provided a taster of his new album on BBE which is due anytime now and will no doubt help cement this young New Zealand talent’s reputation. Toulouse Low Trax aka Detlef Weinrich from Kreidler then provided some deep dub tribal, slo mo house vibes from his forthcoming album due on Karaoke Kalk in February, another winning album.

Downliners Sekt then showed why they are some of our favourite leftfield dubsters of recent times as they take some average shoegaze and turn it into a deep hypnotic dub roller, nice. Stan Smith is one of out new hip hop discoveries and this New York MC is about to drop his debut album aided by some bruk style production from Daz-I-Kue and it’s sounding like a modern day hip-house winner start to finish. Jonti has gone and released some of his early material for free after the success of his material on Stonesthrow last year and there are some real nuggets on there, seek it out! Russian 8-bit don Pixelord is another one steadily building his rep and, amongst others, from his new EP we’re particularly liking the Groundislava remix of ‘Imaginery Friends‘. Minamo, a Japanese quartet then provided the abstract live vibes that nicely finished the show from their new album on Room40.

The radio show “Ketch A Vibe” tonight at 19.00 (GMT +02:00) on Gaudeamus. The repeat of the show is on Sunday at 19.00 (GMT +02:00)

The radio show “Audio Texture” tonight at 21.00 (GMT +02:00) on Gaudeamus. The repeat of the show is on Sunday at 17.00 (GMT +02:00).

The Analog Players Society provided a nice skanking jazzy version of ‘Let The Music Play‘ for the show’s opener and they seem like a project to watch as Finnish crew, Yot, dip their toes into the Swedish Skwee scene to great effect and kept the submerged reggae vibes running. Barcelona’s, The Ink Project then went all deep and atmospheric aided by a nice Gang Colours twist before DJ Food got all raucous with a taster of his new, heavier than heavy album.

Homeboy Sandman showed why arbiters of hip hop tastefulness, Stones Throw, have signed him up – we can’t wait for more from him. Emmanuel Trep Kormann has given Raphael’s operatic jazz a suitably bonkers remix before Krystal Klear and Olivier Day Soul dropped some brand new old school soul flavour, one for the ladie and lovers. Bonobo’s last album  was one of the years highlights and some of the tracks have been remixed with Mark Pritchard’s version being the best of an excellent bunch. Back to the hip hop, Versus showed that their live jazzy vibes mark them as a group to watch out for, especially on stage.

Morlockko Plus then laid down the instrumental hip hop flavours which was a taste of the new Beat Fight comp on MPM. Now Again showed why they are one of the best re-issue labels about after unearthing the, until now, forgotten soul delights of New World Generation. Lana Del Ray showed off her shiny new Joy Oribison remix before next years release, Mr. Fingers then gave a lesson to the youngsters with his Gerd remix on Royal Oak, before John Gazoo and Compost Disco teamed up again and provided a bumping modern disco end to this weeks show.

So that’s all the new material for this year, we’ll still be at it over Christmas though as this week sees the preparation of a couple of programs containing some of our faves from 2011. We will then take a short break and then hit the ground running refreshed and raring to go in 2012 to provide you with some more quality radio focusing on the deeper and more esoteric releases that come our way.
