DECOMPOSED RADIO PODCAST #095: ROSIE GLOW
Decomposed Radio Podcast
Decomposed Radio is right back at ya! Apologies for the radio silence lately. We've been having a few technical problems that are hopefully all sorted now, so we're gonna crack straight on with show 095! Up this time is Manchester based Rosie Glow, who's unique sets I've been lucky enough to enjoy at some ace events over the last year or so, and the super deep techno set that she's recorded for the show is heavy on style, atmosphere and rhythm. Despite generally being all about the techno, Rosie is always on the lookout for new sounds, perhaps demonstrated by the vibe change towards the end...

Decomposed Radio Podcast
Welcome to Decomposed Radio 093. Here at Techno Towers, we're still reeling from the amazing "galloWay fEST" up in the Scottish Borders which was an incredible display of the talent and creativity that we're lucky enough to be surrounded by, which was the original inspiration to creating the podcast, to give it all a platform.

DECOMPOSED RADIO PODCAST #092: SAM'S PIANO TAPE SIDE 2
Decomposed Radio Podcast
You're back with Decomposed Radio! For show 92 we're heading back to 1992, and the release date of one of my favourite albums... "Experience" by the Prodigy. It's high time to flip the cassette and check out side 2 of "Sam's Piano Tape" that I know alot of people have been waiting for. We've had some incredible feedback and psyche from Side 1 on Show 91 and it seems everyone's really enjoyed turning the clock back to a simpler time with great vibes and great sounds! Piano house, happy hardcore and bouncy techno are what it's all about, and smiling faces at wild warehouse raves are clearly the...

DECOMPOSED RADIO PODCAST #091: SAM'S PIANO TAPE SIDE 1
Decomposed Radio Podcast
For Decomposed Radio show 091 we're rewinding back to the early 90's. The dole and Stoney Dale scene of the 80's has given way to bolts in Chee Dale and sport climbing trips to Buoux or Ceuse, whilst the gritstone lies asleep, waiting for the release of Hard Grit a few years later to re-awaken the psyche. Bouldering is in it's infancy, and nobody has even heard of a crash pad, however...... there is another new and growing scene reaching fever pitch around Hunter's Bar... RAVING!! Dance music has yet to really split into it's sub genres, but by far the most fun and main focus for the time was...

With a background in electronics Alkis is right at home with analogue synths and beats, and specialises in hypnotic melodies, abrasive acid sounds and spacey synthtic rhythms, all created on a pure hardwear setup. Every set is live, unique and unrepeatable, and if you're a fan of artists like Jeff Mills and Surgeon..... you're in the right place! The set was recorded at "Bagfest" a small festival in...

DECOMPOSED RADIO PODCAST #086: ELLIOT SHIEL
Decomposed Radio Podcast
With everyone still reeling from Steve Worth's epic sonic expedition on show 085, it seemed only right to come up for air for a bit before heading back under for the next dose. Sure enough, for show 086, we've got another smasher! Elliot Shiel is rapidly becoming a name to watch and listen out for if you're a techno connoisseur, which we all are.... After being inspired to dive into DJing whilst surrounded by the climbing and techno scene at Uni and providing the soundtrack for many a wild house party, the cat well and truly got out of the bag after a polished and professional debut set at the...
info_outlineBless me Papa Sven for I have sinned, it has been over a month since my last techno broadcast.......
We've had a bit of a break here at Decomposed Radio so apologies for the radio silence, but I've been busy collecting and processing some great music for the next few shows, not to mention recovering from the incredible Works Party (and after parties) back in December.
Speaking of which, the next few shows will feature sets from the 2 rooms at the Climbing Works Party; Solid techno from the main room, and some weird and wonderful stuff from the amazing "Rave Cave" which had me unexpectedly dancing like a lunatic on the night!
First up on the techno side of things, is this year's special guest "E-Kul" who kicked things into overdrive in the main room around 3am!
He's been DJing, and promoting and running techno nights since the age of 16, when he managed to scrape together enough money to buy a pair of decks and a 2-channel mixer.
Nights like "Havok" at Phoenix Club as well as the legendary "Orbit" were major influences, as well as artists like Ben Sims, Jeff Mills, Speedy J and UR.
All this results in a high energy, tough and fast style which you'll hear in the mix today, but the great thing about this type of techno is that it still has a real tangible groove to it, which drives it along nicely!
So strap yourselves in, and travel back in time to the 6th December at Code nightclub in Sheffield on 6th December last year...
This is Decomposed Radio, in the mix, with E-Kul......
