Episode: 050 Video Version: https://youtu.be/XjKXgyPJUNY #dj #edmmusic #technomusic #musicstudio #studio #radioshow The Beaumont studios is based in Vancouver and is an iconic place for music and art. The space includes many studios for art and music. As we talk about DJ'n and producing within the electronic music scene on this show the Beaumont studios is the home to many DJ's, Producers and the base for the infamous B-side radio. Over a 1000 Dj's and producers have come through the Beaumont and have grown their music careers from this space as well as hosting events here for rave events and more. I found that this space coming close to being shut down due to the rise in property taxes and rent prices and as a collective in the music scene we know how important it is to keep creative space open for the future of music and art. I hope sharing the story will bring light to the space and help for other spaces around the world as we know how important creative spaces are to people and communities for DJ's and Producers.

We were chuffed to have Jesse Bro on the show straight after his boiler room set. Jesse tells us how he thought his set went and how he got into his musical journey.

West Coast producer, MC and DJ Jesse draws full-bodied, impressionistic lines where less finessed artists draw blanks. Taking his creative cues from early-90’s sample-based hip hop, Bru’s deep house treatment remains decidedly modern – and mighty soulful. He also moonlights as one half of Vancouver duo Hot Keys (alongside Ryan Trann). His sample-strong debut album, MidCity (2012) on UK label Audio Parallax finds his sharp, fluttering grooves laced with hints of cut-up jazz, dubby acoustics and celestial vocals.

Kardano, a music producer, DJ and label owner of Boom Boom Music. Born from Jamaican and Italian parents, he calls Vancouver B.C home. Most of Kardano’s music and inspiration stems form his origins. Listening to his music, you get the hint of chill summer vibes    seasoned with a bit of funky disco.  Musically, a lot has changed for Kardano in the past 10 years. He has always had a love for music. 

At the age of 13, he started playing the guitar. Unable to read sheet music, it did not hinder or stop him from playing in a band during his elementary school years. As high school began, so did his love for a new musical escape. He and a couple of friends started a rap group. Rapping, writing and producing with other local rappers helped develop a path to a more serious musical career. After High school, he enrolled into Nimbus School Of Recording. Being mentored by big band audio engineers, it gave him a better insight in the technical side Arts. Finishing school with a Certificate of Audio Engineering, Kardano finally began his producing and DJ career on several cruises and local Vancouver bars and clubs under a different alias, Gigilianni. 

Ever since his DJ days, Kardano has been hard at work on producing music. Working with a local vancouver DJ, Johnny Omega, they produced a few tracks under their group name T.D.K (The Dance Knights). T.D.K also had the pleasure of remixing Home by Flash Brothers & Khushi Soni under Stoney Boy Music, a label started by fellow Grammy Nominated DJ Stone Bridge. He was given the opportunity to play at 2nd Annual Monster Cat Block Party with some friends at the Groundwork tent. Most recently, Kardano’s Single, Stronger Ft. Paradise, has been featured in a compilation by HOT-Q under Label Worx. We anticipate this year to be big for Kardano with his non-stop work ethic. He has exciting upcoming personal projects in the works and collaborations with other artists.  

With that, we can surely see Kardano's work across the country and internationally soon enough.

In this show we go through a big (not all) collection of rave flyers that cover most of the 90's.

How they were organized, the setup for the events and how creative the flyers were and the detail put into them.   Please SUBSCRIBE to see more content involving the electronic music scene.

Introducing Hector: Hector's journey to becoming a renowned DJ started at the age of 16 when he first stepped behind the decks. Originally from Mexico, his ambition led him to seek opportunities beyond his hometown, eventually finding his way to the vibrant music scene in London. Working at the legendary Phonica record shop proved to be a pivotal moment, as he crossed paths with influential figures like Anja Schneider and Loco Dice, who later offered him positions on their esteemed imprints, mobilee and Desolat. Through his association with Desolat, Hector solidified his place as an exciting and dynamic player in the global music scene. His captivating performances while touring the world garnered a strong and devoted following, earning him respect from fans and industry peers alike. Alongside his DJ career, Hector's hunger for artistic evolution led him to produce his own music, which was quickly picked up by highly respected labels such as mobilee, Desolat, One Records, and Tsuba. With an unrelenting desire to conquer the world's biggest clubs and festivals, Hector has made a name for himself as a resident DJ at Marco Carola's Music On in Ibiza. He has also graced renowned festivals like Time Warp, DEMF, Kazantip, Awakenings, BPM, Hideout, and Sunwaves, while delivering unforgettable club sets at esteemed venues like Tokyo's Womb, Space Miami, Fabric London, and New York's Output. In 2015, Hector shifted his focus to supporting others by forming the Vatos Locos crew, an assembly of talented and underrated producers and DJs who emerged during BPM Festival in Mexico. The crew operates as a family, emphasizing a democratic and ego-free approach to creating unforgettable experiences. From WMC and Movement in Detroit to Sonar and Ibiza's Underground, the Vatos Locos crew has brought their unique vibe to audiences worldwide. Hector's commitment to nurturing emerging talents extends to every aspect of Vatos Locos, including their record label, parties, and tours. VL Recordings, launched in 2016, aims to spotlight lesser-known artists and Hector's closest friends. With releases from artists like Mahony, Seb Zito, David Gtronic, and the VL crew, the label continues to showcase exceptional music. Hector's dedication to the brand goes beyond his DJ career. He oversees the entire process, from merchandise design to event production, encouraging the entire Vatos Locos crew to contribute to decision-making. As Hector's empire expands across the globe, he remains focused on maintaining the highest standards of quality and promoting his Vatos Locos familia.

Tim has been designing bespoke sounds for synthesizers professionally since 2011 for some very well known brands, such as Dave Smith, Moog, Novation, Roland and Korg In 2013 Dave Smith Instruments approached Tim to produce factory sounds for their flagship synthesizer the Prophet 12, followed by work on the Pro 2 in 2014. In 2016 Tim partnered with Korg to develop exclusive sounds for their Minilogue, UK producer set. Then in 2017 he worked on the factory sounds for the iMono/Poly. Korg announced their new flagship synthesizer the 'Prologue'- upon which Tim also made a significant contribution to the factory presets. When producing sound-sets the focus is simple, combine a few bread and butter Bass/Leads/Pads - those that have laid the foundations of chart music for the last 50 years - alongside more progressive, modish and unique sounds. Whether the presets make a user feel empowered or emotional, the detail and quality of the sonics in each and every sound is testament to hard work, and the skill in understanding where each sound needs to go. Whether that's with the consumer in mind or when on-site studio programming is being provided. The bottom line is, each sound has to be playable and complement the producers mix.

Welcome back to another episode of the Rave Room Podcast. In this episode I sat down with 2 absolute legends. We spoke about how they enjoyed their Basscoast festival experience, their music and so much more.

Ardalan Enamored first by traditional Iranian music and classic jazz and rock, Ardalan’s taste began to transform with his childhood years spent moving back and forth from Iran and California. “Mr. Spock.” Call it beginner’s luck, or more likely, a sign of what was to come–in2010, Ardalan shared one of his earliest studio explorations with Justin Martin, which became the foundation for the breakout hit. “Mr. Spock,” in its bizarre and booty-shaking glory, has been accredited as one of the “tracks that made Dirtybird famous,” helping to define the label’s now darling reputation as a trusted source of ridiculous, off-the-wall dance floor bangers. Since, he continued to translate his deep-rooted connection to the dance floor in the studio with remixes on Toy Tonics, Play It Down, Yoshitoshi, and Dirtybird. T Williams  West London’s T.Williams is one of those people, having accomplished a full sweep of merited recognition over the years. Emerging onto the house scene in 2010, T.Williams instantly marked himself as a breakthrough artist with a difference; his unique take on house music turning heads. Far from a newcomer, his path as a musical artist started in the grime scene as Dread.D. Signed at the tender age of 17 with grime anthem Invasion on Jon E Cash’s Black Ops label, Williams went on to have mass success in the grime and bass world selling thousands of singles worldwide. After a five-year reign, Williams found himself veering towards the world of house music. releasing solo works on his imprint Local Action and Pattern with remixes for Maya Jane Coles, Ben Westbeech and Skream. The end of 2011 saw Williams nominated for ‘Best Breakthrough DJ’ by DJ Mag, ‘DJ Stars of 2012’ by Time Out and featured in The Guardian. Two relationships came to the forefront in 2012 that propelled Williams to greater heights. The first was his weekly show on legendary London station, Rinse FM and the second, Williams’ relationship with label PMR through his remix of Javeon McCarthy’s ‘Lost Time’. The remix was named Record of the Week by BBC Radio 1 and supported by tastemakers Annie Mac and Fearne Cotton. From here T. signed to the label exclusively releasing his debut EP for the label in September 2012, and in the process receiving further support from BBC Radio 1. Further remixes of Mikky Ekko, Wretch 32 and Lianne La Havas followed suit, as well as his biggest to date - Disclosure’s ‘Latch’. Powering dancefloors across the globe. Gaining his own monthly residency show with BBC Radio 1, 2013 ended with T. having played over 100 shows across four continents. 2017 marked the launch and release of the first collaborative EP with UK producer Julio Bashmore, via their joint independent Conch Records, a label aiming to push out more underground cross-genre music with heavy rotation from the likes of Moxie and Shy One. With an ever-expanding global tour schedule and further solo releases on the legendary NYC house label Strictly Rhythm turning heads, T.’s upward trajectory has never showed signs of slowing down. Using his technical prowess as a musician to educate the next generation of rising stars at London’s respected Point Blank Music School has cemented his status as one of the UK music scene’s key players.

Jake has been around house/tech house since the womb...quite literally, dating back to 97’ where he was raving in his mum’s stomach at 'Wiggle' events! Producing from age 14, he is now in his early 20's and after getting into DJ’ing within the past 2 years, he has already released on a host of well established labels (see discography).  

Working with the likes of top respected artists including; Orlando Voorn, Terry Francis & Damolh33. His mixing has also brought him alongside both Superfreq + Wiggle - supporting/playing at their parties.  

The unique style Jake brings to the ‘underground’ scene seems to be the perfect bridge between tech houses original grass roots... and where it is now heading in modern day times!  Recently charting at #2 in the Beatport Top 100, his single “Audioerotica” then went on to get national radio play on BBC Radio 1.  

The future is looking bright (or should we say dark) for Jake, as we all know this kind of Tech House is a thing of the night.

Packed with all the necessary ingredients to keep you going on the dance floor, this drink is a must-try for any EDM enthusiast. I invited the Ravrade guys onto the show as i don't want to be a podcast show that just highlights DJ's and Producers as i the scene is made up of more than just that like bartenders, glass collectors, sound engineers, promoters, lighting engineers and so much more. I was recommended the Ravrade team through someone and thought it would be great to here what they are bringing to the rave scene and i think its missing as more ravers, Dj's producers and other trades in the scene are going sober the Ravrade team bring more to the table and fill that gap. https://ravrade.co.uk/

Video version: https://youtu.be/5DIH0zdPnOk Working across UK funky, house and various, mutated strains of bass-heavy club music, Roska has earmarked himself as one of the UK’s most accomplished underground exponents. Through a series of releases via influential dance labels like Numbers, Tectonic and Hotflush, as well as two albums for Rinse Recordings in 2012, he originally blazed a trail for funky to return to the clubs. He has continued to push the sound firmly into the future too, albeit now punctuated by his wider influences, via his own, genre-blurring Roska Kicks & Snares (RKS) imprint. Presiding over 50 releases, RKS has welcomed the likes of MA1, Champion, Gemmy and Doc Daneeka to the label since its inception in 2009 and now functions around a core base of new artists; Tony Tokyo, J Kenzo’s Jodo Kast project, Majora, Transcode and Frederique. After spending the last four years releasing via different platforms A renowned DJ to boot, Roska’s ‘Roska Presents’ brand has seen him curate line-ups across the UK for the last five years and after recently returning from a tour of Asia – he took in dates in Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul. Armed with a series of fresh remixes for artists including Matthew Herbert, grime-rap star CasIsDead, DJ Fresh and even Diplo, Roska is also prepping releases for Low Steppa’s Simma Red, Form & Function and Pinch’s crucial label hub, Tectonic. With a temporary move away from regular radio also in motion, a lot lies in store over the next few years – a defining period in Roska’s impressively diverse and equally influential career so far.

From hosting parties as kids on two home hifis in a small west country town to playing some of the biggest clubs and festivals in the world, schooldays best friends Nick Halkes and Andy Smith have enjoyed amazing careers both individually and together. Here they talk about remixing , touring and so much more as they prepare for the release of the third instalment of the Reach Up Disco Wonderland compilation series on BBE that Andy compiles.

As schooldays best friends Andy and Nick ran a mobile disco together and hunted for bargain 12 inch vinyl in their childhood home town of Portishead near Bristol. At this point they had no idea that Andy would supply beats and tour the world with Portishead before one of the top 100 djs in the world nor that Nick would go on to set up the XL and Positiva labels becoming one of the UK mst respected dance and electronic music industry executives.

Reach Up launched more than five years ago at London basement venue The Waiting Rooms and soon after appeared at Carl Cox’s night at Space, Ibiza where they played for three seasons on the bounce and then also began packing out their monthly London residency at Peckham’s South London Soul Train (hosted at the legendary Bussey Building).

Following the 2017 release of the Reach Up Disco Wonderland compilation on the renowned BBE Records, Volume 2 was released in 2019. Andy and Nick’s re-edits of two tracks on the 2017 Reach Up Disco Wonderland comp were just the start. Nick’s collaboration with Full Intention, both to release original music on Midnight Riot and remix State of the Nation feat the Jungle Brothers, gained support from Purple Disco Machine, Dimitri from Paris and Roger Sanchez.From there a chart topping Nick Reach Up remix of Hideaway by De’lacey followed and a Nick Reach Up collab with Birdee and vocal legend Barbara Tucker that scored coveted daytime Radio One play in the UK whilst hitting top 3 on Traxsource. An invitation to remix Mel C took the Nick Reach Up sound into new territory whilst a rework of Body Work by Hot Streak also took off. Most recently Nick was approached to remix the Kylie single Magic taken from her album appropriately entitled ‘Disco’ and in October 2020 had 4 remixes of his simultaneously in the Music Week Upfront Top 20. In the time that all this was happening amongst other achievements Andys re-edit of Will Sessions & Amp Fiddler feat. Dames Brown – Lost Without You notched up a tune of the month accolade in Mixmag.

Despite having much to look back on Reach Up’s monthly radio show on the award-winning Soho Radio features regular guest mixes from the likes of Full Intention, Jumpin’ Jack Frost, Young Pulse, Danny Rampling and more showcasing the hottest new music along with classic and more hidden gems from back in the day. Despite knowing each other for decades maybe this is still just the start for Nick and Andys Reach Up Disco Wonderland adventure?!
