TUNE IN AT
http://www.leithfm.co.uk through your browser or download to a player of your choice. In the Edinburgh area at 98.8FM on your wireless transistor radios.
Kicking off this week's show is Mike McGarrity from Edinburgh's Pins and Needles club night followed by me for a wee while playing some new material i've picked up recently.
Up at midnight it's the main man, Squatter, with a dark breaks mix.
Squatter started out producing as a hobby, zoning out for hours at a time tinkering with early sequencing software. After several years of occasional dabbling he had a bit of a revelation during the Big Chill festival, and decided it was about time he learnt how to do it properly, so he chucked his day job and moved house, and within a few weeks was sitting in lectures on music technology.
He emerged a few years later, having developed his own distinctively dark sound along the way, producing anything from glitchy breaks through to moody ambience. He recently completed his Advent Remix Challenge to raise money for charity, where he created 26 remixes from scratch in 25 days. Since then he has been producing as himself and in several collaborations, creating sound for contemporary dance performances and a number of new remixes and original tracks, at the same time as training to join the circus.
His next release is out 29th June on Control Breaks - 'Married to a Stapler' / 'Roll It Up feat. MC Regimental' (plus Section Remix) - a brooding, automated assault of an EP which will hopefully reearn him IDJ Magazine's recognition for 'oddest track title of the month'
