daniella downs Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Up this week - i have a slick 80 minute mix from Psy/prog/glitch/tech/acid/etc master QUEXTAL Quextal Quextal started DJing in 1993. As an impoverished student, he only had one ancient belt-drive turntable with no pitch control, so he learned to beatmatch his eclectic selection of breakbeat, techno and house records against taped copies of the same, by balancing the turntable’s belt lever between 33 and 45… Over the next few years his kit was gradually upgraded until it featured two actual DJ turntables (one Technics SL1200, one Gemini PT2400). But he remained primarily a bedroom DJ — mixing was a hobby, a way of listening to music at home, and he wasn’t really motivated to play out very often. With the birth of his children, priorities shifted and Quextal was no longer in the mood to mix. The club scene in Southampton had largely faded away and he just wasn’t hearing any music that he loved enough — nuskool breaks was the closest thing, but most of it seemed far too dull: it could move his feet but it didn’t energise his mind or excite his spirit. However, on his birthday in 2007 at Sunrise Festival, he caught a psybreaks set by Giani, and was inspired to start DJing again. Within three months he had bought a few dozen tunes, invested in CDJs and a new mixer, and put together this website. The original plan was to specialise solely on psybreaks, but Quextal has never settled on one style of music in his life: if it feels good, he’ll play it. Right now, what feels good to him can be generalised as journeying music, or tripping tunes. Whether the beat or style is breakbeat, house, trance, techno or chillout, what matters are the feelings and visions it evokes, and the movement it induces on all levels: body, mind, and spirit. http://quextal.com/ Tune In from 10-12 pm GMT Tonite!!

Tommorrow's Show - Perpetual Present! look for the first hour from me, and the second hour a slammin guest mix from rising star in the breakbeat world - Perpetual Present Neil Gray (aka Perpetual Present) - English producer, DJ and performer for a variety of electronic music genres. Influences come from a wide spectrum of styles and eras but generally the louder, fatter and funkier the better. Making noises and experimenting with recording techniques since the mid 90s, Neil formed several bands in his misspent youth, playing either guitar, bass or drums. After graduating Electronics & Music Tech from York University in 2005 and discovering the delights of digital broken beats, he went on to help shape the direction of young label Acidphonic records. Debut release 'Discoteca' in 2007 gained some underground support and recognition and demonstrated the progressive tech-funk breakbeat sound that is now associated with the label. The aim was simple; to provide some unique, chunky, dirty beats and bass for the modern dancefloor and beyond. Support in the scene has grown steadily, charting no2 on trackitdown & Djdownload with 'Red Light On' and achieving a no1 spot with 'Girls & Devices' earlier this year. With Dj support from Plump Djs, General midi, Leeroy Thornhill, Ils, James Zabelia, Hexadecimal, BSD, Kultur, Toni Jarvis, expect to hear plenty of fresh tunes and remixes in the coming months.
