Afternoon,

As mentioned by yours truly at frequent intervals on last night’s Colliderscope, here is your track list and listen again thingumies. You can download the podcast from Soundcloud, or have it shoved into your mp3 do-dad automatically by clicking the itunes logo, right. And don’t forget Mixcloud neither.

On the miaow mix for May we had the multi-talented DJ Loopin, got some late breaking news about the very same:

As a musician and multi-instrumentalist he adopted turntables as another musical instrument he regulary plays on.

He’s a member of Tawatt DJs group [not 100% sure how well that name scans into the Queen’s Anglais] and for many years a guitar player and a member of a popular czech band United Heads.

Has recently started a new project with DJ Sunpaja and Rich.FD - the 4 turtables, guitar, sax, melodica and flute mixed together into one great Funky set - all done by 3 persons only.

So now you know - definitely one to watch, so much quality tunage coming out of Eastern Europe at the moment, where have they been hiding? Hope to bring you much more from the Loopin in future ‘Scopes*.

Right, without further ado - here’s the tuneage. Don’t be a stranger, see you next month.

Greetings Space Invader brethren, it is nearly time for Colliderscope to creep up from behind and invade your personal space - at first you turn around all angry but within seconds you’re greeting it like an old friend - you should be use to this kind of treatment by now, we do it every month.

This Saturday (May 10th) from 10pm (GMT) we shall be treading the well worn path of beats, rhymes and bass lines, except someone has gone and dug large pits in it and covered them over with twigs and leaves. If you’re not familiar with the Colliderscope road map - allow me to drop some knowledge upon you - the show is divided up into three sections, or tranches if you will. First up, you’ve got yours truly in the mix kicking things off with choicest breaks, booties and whatever else is deemed fit to work you up into a foaming frenzy for “tranche” number two - whereupon we bring in a guest to let rip on the platters, then finally it’s me me me all the way to the AM spinning tuneage from the darker side of the spectrum - with maybe a little curve ball tacked on at the end.

This month where the middle chunk is concerned I’m proud to report that The Funk is alive and well and residing in Prague in human form. You will, no doubt, already be familiar with the capital of the Czech Republic and indeed the number one stag do destination continental European has to offer, perhaps less so the rolling eyes of one Michal, aka DJ Loopin as he bears witness to the English abroad. When it comes to the Loopin we’re talking quality, not quantity, and with a few low-slung, high-quality remixes already available over there on the Cloud, the only way is literally up for this highly promising fader monger. Don’t just take my word for it, wrap your ears around the Miaow Mix when it drops breakbeats all over the floor.

My word is my bond when I say: your wildest dreams WILL come true this weekend on Space Invader Radio (provided your dreams are squelchy and bassy) from 10pm (GMT) this Sat. So make like Peter Sellers and be there.

DM

PS. I come to you with heavy heart in this missive as I and anyone else who has ever dug the music of the Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch, mourn his passing. So long MCA and thank you.

Saturday 14th April, 10pm (GMT), Space Invader Radio

Call the paramedics, there’s a bass bin in need of a band aid, as Colliderscope comes careening through your evening this coming Saturday - that’s the 14th, ja wohl! Hope you noticed my use of your actual German just then. That’s in honour of April’s guest spinner, straight outta Dresden, Ronald Aquinas. Just like the city famed for its spectacular and unconventional architecture, Ronald has assembled a fantastic, modernist masterpiece with all the majesty of the Zwinger Palace. When he’s not rocking the spot leben in der mischung, you’ll find your boy hunched over a digital audio workstation, carefully crafting a banging tune or a bottom-heavy re-work. When it comes to mixing, yours truly ain’t much of a lad for the fast edit, so I’m the first to offer the propers to a DJ who can think on his feet - Herr Aquinas does not disappoint in this respect, shoe-horning a blistering number of tracks from breaks & booties to hip hop, to jungle to holy shizzle what is that, over an intense forty minute sesh. Keep it locked for a little funk in your house like this.

Either side you’ve got me, as always, going at it with all the due care and attention of pioneering atom smashers. Some unconventional booties are all lined up to haul ass in the early stages of the show, before we knock it up to an even tonne on the autobahn, leading up to the aforementioned Aquinas’s turn on the wheels. Look out for a murderously good beaty monster from breaks’ golden child of the moment, Mafia Kiss - biggups that man! Final third of the show is shrouded in dark majestical mystery but is hotly tipped to contain (amongst other things), snares that crack like miniature sonic booms and things that go “wub wub wub” very loudly.

That’s enough simili from me, trust I’ll see you on Saturday from 10pm (GMT) on Space Invader. Sicher!

Up here in the cosy confines of the ball pond room of the International Space Station, sipping NASA booze and gazing down upon the Earth below, it’s easy to forget the trouble and strife that is the day to day for many of her inhabitants. From up here there are no borders, just a beautiful, azure, slowly revolving Wild Damson of tranquility. Music, too, enjoys similar utopian freedom from the confines of country and code, although obviously it helps if it comes with a gut-pounding kick and a filthy bass line. So with that in mind, it’s time to get your head out of the clouds and feet on the floor, ready to shuffle them around in a decreasingly self-conscious fashion as Colliderscope prepares, yet again, to rock your socks off - this very Saturday (10th March 2012) at 10pm (GMT).

It’s been solid gold year for guesties on the show so far this year and we’re only three months in…DJ Yamin and Nate Wize got us off to a wicked ecelctic, funk-toting, hip hopping, soul-having start. And for March I’m genuinely honoured to be able to bring you a mix from a very different perspective indeed. Anthony Atcherley isn’t perhaps a name you’ll instantly associate with French-influenced, ecstatic house music. It’s more of an actor’s moniker perhaps, it wouldn’t look out of place on the bill of the Royal Shakespear Company. Yet I’m confident that it won’t be long before Atcherley is right where he belongs - at the top of the jolly well look at me I’m the danciest game. Kissy Klubbers will already have heard his rework of Prince’s U Got the Look on way cool and trendy Radio 1, but this ain’t a one-hit wonder thing. Hold on for the middle part of Colliderscope where we’ll spend forty minutes with Anthony in the Miaow Mix, whilst tears of joy stream down our grateful cheeks.

Either side of themanlikethe I’ll be almost totally spending myself churning together a wide selection of bump’n’grind in a technique akin to the way they make chewing gum. We’ll jump in feet first around 100bpm with some instrumental hip hop, followed by a few rhymes before ploughing headlong into a furlong or two of firm to hard going booty breaks. Then, rounding off a simply perfect evening, we’ll go darker - as we customarily do - with choicest jungle/d’n’b/dubsteppers before it’s time to say night night.

Got a good feeling about this one…see you Sat on Space Invader Radio.

Bless up bredren. How’s the weather on your planet? Here in the Greater London area we’re freezing our extremities off.  Which is to be expected, as it is winter and it isn’t exactly toasty around this time of year. And in any case, this Saturday Colliderscope comes crashing through the internet generating an awful lot of fiyah. Consider this, therefore, your usual monthly invitation to understand why they’re called ‘long throw’ woofers.

On the Miaow Mix for February, arriving laiden with a box of chocs and some flowers from the garage (or gas station, to those more familiar with the North American lexicon) is Nate Wize, fresh out of Toronto, which is in Canada. Nate is a busy boy at present, I know, as it’s probably easier to get an audience with Le Tres Honorable Stephen Harper. Never-the-less, your boy took time out from touring with Dubmatix Soundsystem (where he’ll be found nightly on keys and turntable duty) to put together a proper roller of a mix for the edification of your booty - and very grateful we are too. Expect a hip-hop infused, soul wrapped, funk saturated neck snapper with a dubby liquid centre - with plenty of home grown garnishes lavishly layered on top. Don’t miss.

Meanwhile, I’ll be going to town either side in a big way with the customary collection of bass and and booties. Kicking off with a bunch of heavy-duty-party-starters up to Nate’s turn on the wheels, then taking things a tad darker into dub/drumstep/d’n’b territories before flinging you into the wild abandon of an ecstatic finish. I’m breathless just imagining it.

This Saturday (11th Feb 2012) is the date, 10pm (GMT) is the time and Space Invader Radio is where you need to be.

Safe.

DM

PS. Be right back here from the 12th for all your listen again nonsense.

Hello you. Let me be like Jules Holland and pretend it’s 11:59:59 December 31st 2011 (whereas in reality it’s not) and say HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now then, let’s all have a sing song.

2012 - An Olympic year for the athletics world and no doubt a phat with a P. H. year for Colliderscope. Let’s start as we mean to go on, with two hours of big booty breaks, bass lines and succulent hooks on a monthly basis starting from this Saturday at 10pm (GMT) - ok?

On the Miaow Mix this month all the way from New Orleans, U S of A, is super duper  winner spinner DJ Yamin. You’ll have heard his inspired rework work on Colliderscopes past and it was hearing the very same that made it imperitive he do time on the wheels for us. You can expect to fall in love over forty minutes with an expertly blended soul/funk/hip-hop joy ride that warrants repeated listening (which it shall be possible to do from Sunday 15th).

Either side of the Yamin you’ve got me slotting together mixes in the manner of someone assembling a jigsaw with a hammer.  It’s hands in the air as ever for the first tranche of the show, we’ll do breaks and booties, we’ll do hip-hop and heavy heavy 4/4 rollers - but it’s not all Pomagne and streamers ‘cos come the final third of the show we go darker with an obligatory trio of dub-step offerings, smoothest blended D&B before lobbing in a curveball right at the end which will have you grinning from ear to shell-like ear. Look out too for a brace of absolutely t-for-tremendous hip-hop stick-stack-stonkers from DJ Grazzhoppa, so good I couldn’t choose between em’ so here they both are for your pleasure and delight.

See you Sat - it’s gonna be a doozy.
