Turntable Radio – October 09

Oh, hi there. Yes you’re not seeing wrong, this is indeed a new Turntable Radio podcast. It’s been 11 months since the last one and while they do say good things come to those who wait I may have just pushed it a little with this.
With other duties, projects and life getting in the way it’s fair to say this show has been a long time coming. It would also be fair to say that another reason behind the normal show’s rather slow update has also been my own unwillingness to chase up people and hunt music in the same way I used to. Coupled with a quieting down of all things turntablists and artists moving on to do their own thing, regardless of name or genre (something we’ve always been strong believers of) it all equals to less music, less often and therefore less of a need for a regular Turntable Radio show.
Still that doesn’t mean we can’t pull something out the bag once a year, especially as quite a lot of people still hit us up on the regular. And so we have what is probably the only show of 2009 with an hour of music including a fair few new and never before heard bits from artists worldwide, taking in Ireland, England, the US, Italy, Japan and Canada among others.
Our being quiet on the show front doesn’t mean there isn’t stuff to check on the site. Remember that our new B4B TV series of video podcasts will be resuming shortly with the Japan series, and I will continue to focus on having guest mixes/videos as well as special recorded live sessions on the show. To me right now it’s much more interesting to take the time to go and record people live or arrange sessions than trawling the internet and our archives for audio to string a show together.
As a last aside, for those of you looking for a more regular fix of music then let me point you in the direction of our sister show, Rhythm Incursions, where things are a lot more lively and regular at the moment.
Anyways enough of the blaberring, and on with the music. I hope you like it, as personally I’m quite proud of how it came out and shows that ‘tablist’ artists worldwide still have a lot to offer when it comes to the music.

Oh hi there. Yes you’re not mistaken we are back with a regular podcast, with a little delay but hey good things come to those who wait right? Things might have quieten down on the scratch scene overall, well actually they have but that’s an entire other discussion we’ll have for another time, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing out there and so this month’s podcast brings you a whole bunch of new music, a few exclusives and some slightly older bits thrown in for good measure.
As usual we’re repping worldwide, from Canada to Japan, France to Italy and England. New tracks and exclusives come from Aupheus, DJ 1Tarow, Uncle Lew aka Square One, John Type, Tayone, Ruckus Roboticus, Ghislain Poirier, iNSIDEaMIND, Fidel Cutsro, Baku and Hakujin and we’ve also got a slightly older track from A-Trak’s never released tablist album, featuring Little Brother on the mic.

That’s it for this month, we return to our podcasting of the original Turntable Radio shows presented by Mr Trick next week and look out for a site redesign and some fairly big changes to the content coming up soon as well. One more podcast should see the light of day before the end of the year hopefully, but there’ll be more on that very soon. Till then enjoy!

Turntable Radio – The Mr Trick Years: Show #13
October 21, 2008 by Mr Trick
Filed under Podcasts (all), The Mr Trick Years
Originally aired 29th December 2002: “This week on Turntable Radio we take a look back over our first 12 shows and the music of 2002. I have selected my favourite unreleased tracks of the year (with music from the likes of PrimHero & Mart-1, Waxfactor, B-Roc and SamSaScratch), and we also look back at the highlights of our shows to date – including the D-Styles interview and the Hip Hop Slam special. Add to that a rare recording of the Birdy Nam Nam DMC-winning set (courtesy of DJ Need), a trio of tracks from the UKs rising star DJ 2Tall and a look back to the spectacular music from France and Germany, not to mention a brace of DJ Happee tracks and you have one show not to be missed.”

Turntable Radio – The Mr Trick Years: Show #2
July 18, 2008 by Mr Trick
Filed under Podcasts (all), The Mr Trick Years
Show #2 remains a favourite of mine in the entire output of Turntable Radio. Why? Because it was a D-Styles and Shortkut special, in which I sat down with the guys to try and get more info from them. After all, they were never the most verbose people online (no bad thing that, I hasten to add), leaving plenty of scope to ask about, amongst other things, the breakup of the ISPs, the work with Ricci Rucker and more. In addition, we got a sneak preview of the then-forthcoming Phantazmagorea album and exclusively aired two tracks – quite a score at the time!
I also have fond memories of this for another totally unrelated reason, namely D-Styles phoning then-Snatchcon moderhater Big Lee in a bid to get him to come down and meet us. Lee was having none of it, and to this day I’m still convinced he thought it was a prank call or something.
Random trivia: DJ Woody later used the audio of D-Styles saying his name in a BBC Radio 1 session. My “sounds like Prime Cuts” tones were also in there. It was an odd moment.
Anyway – full tracklisting is here.

Turntable Radio – The Mr Trick Years: Show #1
July 11, 2008 by Mr Trick
Filed under Podcasts (all), The Mr Trick Years
So: let’s do this: the original 70 Turntable Radio shows presented by me, Mr Trick. Looking back on these has certainly bought a strong whiff of nostalgia back in the place, and hearing the shows again actually made me see them in a different light. To me, Turntable Radio stands as a fine testament to a very niche music scene, and as time has passed its highly focussed area of coverage has made it something of a historical audio document of sorts, because at times it felt like we were airing every damn track out there.
For show #1, I did a special on a guy I later went on to sign: DJ 2tall. Time has shown this to be a good choice too, as 2tall has gone on to become one of the more respected producers to come from this scene, now working with the likes of Dudley Perkins among others.
Alongside 2tall’s work we had other tracks from UK tablists like Timestretch, Rasp and my future Rhythm Incursions co-presenter Waxfactor, not to mention music from bigger names like D-Styles, Mr Dibbs, DJ Shadow, Babu, Radar, A-Trak and more. For the full tracklisting, click here.
So: enjoy the first ever Turntable Radio show, originally aired back in winter 2002. Remember, we will be podcasting these weekly from now on, with occasional breaks for new shows from Laurent too. Spread the word!

Turntable Radio – April 2008 podcast
April 25, 2008 by Laurent
Filed under Audio Podcasts, Podcasts (all)
Following on very swiftly and quickly, for once, from our recent special live podcast as part of the 5th Anniversary series, we return to a more normal broadcast with our April show.
This show was originally supposed to come with a special reminiscing mix to replace the show Trick and I were going to do, but continuing a very unfortunate series of technical mishaps and problems, I haven’t had the time to do this, so instead we just bring you the usual hour-long serving of new and exclusive material from around the world.
Up this month we’ve got some great new tracks and material from a whole bunch of people, keeping it worldwide as usual. In no particular order, we have new stuff from 2tall, ADS, Ill Insanity, Baku, INSIDEaMIND, Naoki, Ken One, Quest, Red, Kwote, Faust, Morse and B-Ju. Most of these are all taken from just released or forthcoming releases, so as usual if you like what you hear check the links and go out there and support the artists.
We also start the show with a very rare and sought after track from DJ Krush and DJ Klock, taken from a Nike sponsored 12″ entitled ‘Cage’, which came out in 2001. The 12″ features Krush collaborating with Klock on one side and Baku on the other, on two interpretations of the same track. This track goes out on the first year anniversary of Klock’s sad passing away, and our thoughts go out to his family at this time.
That’s about it, check the tracklist for full details and linkage as usual, and stay tuned for the next 5th anniversary podcast which will be videos from our Japanese session and should be incoming in a few weeks.
Subscribers should already have the file waiting on their desktop, or on its way. For those who haven’t subscribed yet, it couldn’t be easier: either use any of the shortcuts on the top left corner of the blog to add the show’s feed to any podcatcher, or visit our feedburner page or launch iTunes and find us in the podcast directory where you can subscribe automatically. And for the really lazy ones there is a direct download link at the bottom of the post as usual.

‘Cuts of Culture 2 – The Podcasts’: Week 9a
September 16, 2007 by Laurent
Filed under Cuts of Culture 2 series, Podcasts (all)
For the last week of our ‘Cuts of Culture 2′ podcast series we’ve dug into the archives of TTR and decided to bring you a project which we’ve discussed before (and partly aired) but which has never seen the light of day in full. As such we’ve decided to put it out there for the whole world to enjoy. And we hope you do. The project in question is the remix EP of the Noisy Stylus debut album ‘Table Manners’. It features 5 remixes (3 of which we’ve aired before) from a range of artists, all with loose or close ties to the tablist scene. In addition to this remix EP we’re also podcasting our last video, this time a compilation of trailers and teasers for upcoming/current projects by people who we’ve showcased in the podcast series.
Noisy Stylus – The Table Manners Remix EP
This remix EP was a project originally started shortly after the release of Noisy Stylus’ debut album. The aim was simple – commission a series of remixes of various tracks from the album for a future release. Unfortunately due to various issues and problems, we weren’t able to commission remixes from all the artists which were originally earmarked, and the project was left to ferment for a while. During that time we did manage to get some remixes done, and these form the remix EP which we are now making available, with the full consent of all the artists involved.
The remixes were done over the period of a year during 2005/2006. As I’ve mentioned before 3 of them have been aired before on TTR podcasts, while the last two have never before been heard. The artists who’ve taken part in this project include 2tall, Netik, Tatsuki, Timecode (aka Sparky T) and Project Fallen (an alias of TTR’s original presenter and current Rhythm Incursions host and general busy man Mr Trick). In total 4 of the album’s track have been remixed. The tracklist for the remix EP is as follows:
Noisy Stylus – Battle Mentality (Netik Remix)
Noisy Stylus – Battle Mentality (Tatsuki Remix)
Noisy Stylus – Kindness (The Project Fallen Abstract remix)
Noisy Stylus – Late Train (2tall’s Love Cinema remix)
Noisy Stylus – Never Leave (Timecode remix)
The remixes all offer varied takes on the originals, which were all scratched tracks. From darker and heavier remixes from Netik and Tatsuki to more mellow, drone like textures from Project Fallen and rhythmical, upbeat versions from 2tall and Timecode. We hope you enjoy these remixes, and if you like what you hear and never checked the original tracks then head over to Noisy Stylus’ homepage to order a copy.
The remix EP is available as a .rar compressed file containing all five remixes. All files within there are 320kbps mp3s apart from the Project Fallen one which is 192kbps. To open the .rar file use any normal decompression program.
The file is 48mb, .rar format. Use WinRAR or any normal unzip program to extract the files.

‘Cuts of Culture 2 – The Podcasts’: Week 8
September 9, 2007 by Laurent
Filed under Cuts of Culture 2 series, Podcasts (all)
We finally reach the penultimate session in our 2 month long special podcast series. After 7 weeks of videos and audio we’re now very proud to present to you the Cuts of Culture 2 compilation mix by 2tall. Which I’m going to guess is probably what most of you have been waiting for. Well you have to wait no longer, it’s here in its full glory for you to enjoy. And be sure to stay tuned for week 9, as we see off the Cuts of Culture 2 Podcasts with some very tasty secret downloads, which you’ll have to wait another week to find out all about.
Various Artists mixed by 2tall – Cuts of Culture 2
This mix follows from the first Cuts of Culture compilation which was released in 2005. Once more the idea was simple – to put together and showcase a selection of who we rate as the best and most interesting artists today working with turntables. As is always the case we weren’t able to get everyone we wished, but after 6 months of hard work in early 2006 2tall was able to put together this mix showcasing some of our favourite established and upcoming artists.
Building on the first release, this time we also wanted to showcase more worldwide talent and so we have not only established names from the US and European countries, but also upcoming talents from Poland, Japan, South Africa, Hungary and Germany. In addition we also wanted to put more focus on the production work which these artists do, after all the turntable is only a means to an end, another production tool. Something we’ve done by featuring collaborative tracks between tablists and producers including the likes of Bayaka (Japan), Exile (US), Thrash (UK), Evil Ed (UK) and Bichi (Denmark).
Exclusive tracks come from the likes of D-Styles, Excess, Tayone and Bungalow Zen, ie.merg_, Netik and Dq alongside tracks which are available in all good shops, and which we urge you to check out if you like what you hear.
Rounding off this showcase of musical talent is another posse cut masterminded by 2tall – following from his first posse cut on the previous volume, this time his ‘Sharpshooters Convention’ features renowned and not so known cutters including Enfoe, Taim, Unkut, Square One, Rafik, Captain Cavern and Netik.
As we’ve said before the aim with Cuts of Culture has always been simple and we hope that once more we’ve managed to achieve it. Show that there is so much more to this scratching thing than what people might first think and provide a platform for people to showcase their work to the public at large. The mix, and compilation, is now just one year old, having been originally planned for a late 06 release and while it’s taken some time to get it out we reckon it’s still sounding fresh.
To accompany this download we’ve made available the original liner notes and tracklist in pdf format as well as a hi res version of the cover, which you can download and print should you want to (see links below).
For more on 2tall and all the artists and releases check the liner notes which include links and all release info (links are clickable directly from the pdf file).
