458 full John Peel Shows uploaded to Soundcloud

(UPDATE: THE SET CONTAINING THE SHOWS HAS BEEN REMOVED BUT THE INDIVIDUAL SHOWS STILL REMAIN :  https://soundcloud.com/search?q[fulltext]=John%20Peel%20Show%20%2BdB)

I remember when he died and how i thought ' ahhhhhhh' I also thought...'how is this slot on radio ever gonna be replaced? ' and to be fair the question still remains.

Ive had little fixations with several broadcasters since Mary anne Hobbs, Giles Peterson to name two but its never lasted long as no one has ever before or after played such a wide selection of music on one show, from jah Cure to God speed and from music offa dub plates to music from the 20's recorded on the first ever recording equipment... i cant tell you the influence this gezzer had on my life and musical tastes ...

so ima stop gushing about the one and only and say GO FIND OUT!!! of course there is many who already know, so a knowing wink will do ;) catch u at show 340 somewhere .....

boom bip remixed by boards of canada is on episode 87 and thats a gem ;)



CLICK ON PICTURE

Miss you Peel and thank you to who ever uploaded these your a gem.

Philth x Helix the space cat (graff x beats)

The second graff/beat video from chop productions featuring graff artist Philth's spray work overdubbed with Helix the Spacecat's 'organic wonk sound' soundscapes. Great combination we rekon. Philth's mad decent illustration skills have turned heads constantly in the last couple of years with UTC flyer designs and various cutting edge branding work he has carried out (including hotest new record label of last year COSMIC BRIDGE RECORDS). Helix the space cat also has been out and about fearlessly dj'ing his cut and paste lo-fi soundscapes to all that have the courage to turn their backs on the bouncy mainstream dance music scene the media keep bombarding us with.... all and all a few minutes of magic .. dont miss out!!

Constantine Manos: Personal Documentary (VIMEO)


Leica & Magnum: Constantine Manos - Personal Documentary from Leica Camera on Vimeo.

Constantine Manos was born in 1934 in South Carolina to Greek immigrant parents. He went on to attend the University of South Carolina, from which he graduated in 1955. Joining Magnum Photos in 1963, he then became a full Member in 1965. This video, produced in partnership with Magnum, is a personal documentary of Manos’ wide-ranging subjects – from desegregation in the American South to life in Greece and his later work throughout America which he shot in color. One thing has remained constant throughout his career, it’s been Costa and his Leica rangefinder.

Sola : LightBoming

Lightbombing was a new phrase introduced to me by the super saturated world of Instagram and it made sense ... like graff bombing but with light. Lets face it its nothing we all haven't done before with a sparkler on bonfire night but this guy ( Peter Medlicott ) know as Sola really has perfected it and taken it to levels you or I would never have dreamt of. With commissions taking him around the world Sola really does light up the imagination with the landscapes he paints as much as what he paints... ohh and yeah he's from Birmingham

LEFTFOOT & UNDERTHECOUNTER PRESENT… DJ QBERT & REEPS ONE BASS BIZARE




LEFTFOOT & UNDERTHECOUNTER PRESENT…

DJ QBERT & REEPS ONE BASS BIZARE

Date: WEDNESDAY 8TH FEBRUARY
... Time: 8pm – 11.30pm
Venue: Hare & Hounds, 106 High St, Kings Heath, Birmingham, B14 7JZ
Tickets: £12ADV / MOTD from www.theticketsellers.co.uk / 0844 870 0000

DJ Qbert & Reeps One have defined a new level in the creation of bass music. By merging Qbert’s turntablism and Reeps One’s vocal beat manipulation with the production skills of some of the biggest names in bass culture today, they have defined a completely new archetype for the sound of bass music.

‘Easily the most gifted scratch DJ of all time, Q-Bert is known for his legendary speed, laser-like precision, and quirky imagination. His turntable opus is a science fiction odyssey of thunderous proportions. The Bay Area resident rockets listeners through galaxies of bizarre sound bites, gigantic bass, and freakishly agile crossfader work, keeping heads nodding while bathing brains in acidic acoustics. A true expert in his field, DJ Q-Bert not only displays stellar examples of his craft, but interstellar glimpses of where the art is headed’ – Rolling Stone Magazine.

Reeps One began beatboxing at 17 and over the last four years has become internationally recognised as a leading artist of the New School Beatbox Scene. His ability to rock crowds and have venues shaking with his vocal skills alone is a feat unmatched. The purity of his skill is what places him above many and lead him to win the 2009 Vauxhall UK Beatbox Championship. Invited to the World Beatbox Championship last year, his skills are not going unnoticed. Reeps’ ‘all through the mouth’ philosophy, without loop pedals, effects, samples or gimmicks have earned him maximum respect amongst the beatbox community and the general public alike setting him aside from the rest of the pack.
