Weekly Transmission 28!

***EXTRA EXTRA! Make sure you grab Carl Cox’s Podcast from last week!!!****

Hi hi hi,

How you doing you grubby little lot? We were at The Big Chill over the weekend and my word - it surpassed all our expectations! A perfect festival. Now recovered, we've been getting in a bit of trancey mode this week - with hotshot Frase serving up a groovy and euphoric podcast, Blank & Jones taking us round Cologne, and superb producer Marcus Schossow showcasing his hard hitting trance meets electro meets techno sound in our New Talent spot.

BUT as you know we're never ones to just stick to one genre - so this week we've also got reviews of the eclectic Glade and Secret Garden Party festivals, an interview with the head of London festie Field Day which returns for a second year this weekend, and an exclusive interview with techno's man of the moment Christian Smith (what a legend!) Throw into the mix reviews and news on Guy J, Jamie McHugh, Simian Mobile Disco, 2020 Soundsystem, Late Of The Pier, Cut Copy, Dirty South, Bomb The Bass, Frankmusik, Kraftwerk and loads more, and you've got a suitably eclectic ting a gwarnin!

Ooh and we've had a clearout of our office and found over 100 tip-top CDs from everyone from Boys Noize to Mauro Picotto - and we're giving them all away to one winner! We've also got two money can't really buy SEASON PASSES for the stupidly incredible Warehouse Project season in Manchester to give away - and once you've seen the line-ups you'll agree that this is one of the best prizes we've ever given away. All this plus passes to Parklife festival in Scotland, VIP entry for Gatecrasher's 15th Birthday, and passes for Get Loaded In The Park and South West Four Festivals.

So go on, switch off the Olympics, grab yourself a bacon butty (vegetarian option available) and get stuck into all this dancey goodness

Marcus Schossow
 
God those Swedes never quit do they? This man's intense blend of electro, techno, prog and trance has found him favour with van Buuren, van Doorn, and van Dyk...three Vans can't be wrong.

2020 Soundsystem - Psycho
on : 2020 Vision
Reviewed By: BenGomori

Burnski saves the day with his ludicrously naughty, hard-grooving minimal techno swing. Yum.
 
 
 
  
Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire
on : Modular Recordings
Reviewed By: BenGomori

Just an absolutely exquisite track from the Aussie 3-piece here, with laconic, emotive lyrics placed over the most euphoric, cool Daft Punk aping arms-to-the-sky poppy electro stomping.
 
 
 
  
Paul Keeley - A Sort Of Homecoming
on : Anjunadeep
Reviewed By: BenGomori

We rate Paul Keeley very highly. He makes sublime, melodic, groovy prog, and we don't know why he isn't better known.
 
 
 
  
Zoon van Snook - Interviews & Interludes EP
on : Cookshop
Reviewed By: Matty O

Tricky electronica from the ever inventive Cookshop, introducing an outsider who's a good lad at heart.
 
 
 
  
Late of the Pier - Fantasy Black Channel
Hope & Sorrow
on : Lab Oratoire
 

And so it's here. Dare it say it, one of the most hotly anticipated albums since 'Myths of the Near Future'?

Jamie McHugh - H20
Hope & Sorrow
on : Lab Oratoire
 

Talented techno type misses the mark somewhat with a collection of decent clubby tracks that doesn't hold together well.

Various Artists mixed by Simian Mobile Disco - FABRICLIVE41
