6 Mix 2011-07-31 Steve Mason & Dennis Bovell’s Dub Excursion

“Singer Steve Mason and producer Dennis Bovell join forces for two hours of heavy dub reggae. The former frontman of the Beta Band, King Biscuit Time and Black Affair, Steve first met British reggae pioneer Bovell through his cousin; Massive Attack’s Daddy G. Bovell had a string of hits in the early 1980s with his band Matumbi, before going to produce records from Janet Kay, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Orange Juice and Madness. The pair bonded though a love of drinking and dub and have gone on to create ‘Ghosts Outside’ – a dub version of Steve’s 2010 album ‘Boys Outside’ which was originally produced by Richard X. In this special 6 Mix, Steve and Dennis go digging in the crates for their favourite dub records, playing classic tunes from Horace Andy, Mikey Dread, Public Image Limited and the Upsetters, as well as discussing how they discovered dub and the influence it has had on their respective solo careers. They also talk about the making of ‘Ghosts Outside’ and how they went about turning a guitar and synth based record into a full length dub excursion.”

“Erol Alkan returns to the 6 Mix, taking you on a sonic journey through bleeps, beats and bass from the cutting edge of club culture. Since his last show, Erol has been busy playing festivals all over the world including this year’s Glastonbury, as well as catching everyone’s ears with his rework of Metronomy summer anthem, ‘The Bay.’ Erol’s early noughties club night ‘Trash’ was also named number 43 in the Guardian’s recent ’50 Key Events In the History Of Dance Music’ special supplement. In his latest 6 Mix, Erol delves into the crates to unearth a selection of hidden gems alongside a selection of upfront electronic and experimental sounds. In the final 30 minutes, Erol’s ‘mystery mix’ returns, with a secret selection of future club bangers destined to shake the dancefloor in 2011.”

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX048 Hans Nieswandt

From disco to discourse with one of Germany’s most influential music journalists. The name Hans Nieswandt may be an unfamiliar one to audiences outside Germany. Inside the country, however, he was one of the leading voices in music journalism during the acid house revolution. As an editor at Spex, his features and reviews helped spread the gospel of dance music to German readers in much the same way Julie Burchill brought punk into the pages of NME. If international audiences know of Nieswandt, though, it’s likely as part of Cologne’s Whirlpool Productions, a trio formed with Justus Köhncke and Eric D. Clark who had a #1 hit in Italy with 1996’s “From Disco to Disco.” Ever since, Nieswandt has pursued his twin passions of music and writing, staying busy as the electronic music advisor for the Goethe Institut and, over the course of the last decade, publishing three books about DJ culture. Last week, RA’s Todd L. Burns caught up with Nieswandt the afternoon after he closed the Kompakt night at Panorama Bar to chart the many facets of his career.”

Kutski 2010-07-30 Old Skool and Hard Style

“Kutski smashes through Old Skool and Hard Style on his way to Ibiza. Prodigy, Masters Of Ceremony and LFO are hurled into 2 hours of crushing Hardcore and Hard Dance. This week’s Hardest Record In The World makes up in hardness what it lacks in speed; and there’s also a track named Ferret Must Die. Enough said.”
