Overrated Podcast ¦ EP 01 ¦ Shayn

This was one of the first people Shayn started following on SoundCloud and he's been hooked ever since. Needless to say, his music is a real mix of lazy, electronic moods and we couldn't wait to ask him to join the podcast series. With releases on Defected, Neovinyl recordings, Soulshift music & Midnight recordings, among a heap of others, this guy has been round the block. Hailing from the Netherlands. Enter. Lorenzo Kurizu

A hero on productions and a hero behind the decks. This is 2 hours of pure groove from a man that has been behind some great tracks on labels including Music is Love, Underground Source Records, Needa Records & Seven Music. Think jazz, think funk, think flavour, think Jackmaster K

Some would better recognise Caspa for his long standing residency with London base party hub, Percolate. Others may be familiar with the early radio work he was part of in the early 90s playing at stations including, Pressure Fm, RinseFm, De-javu & Unknown Fm. With over two decades of experience behind the turntables, Caspa is without a doubt one of the most diverse taste makers on the circuit. With influences that cross genres of Garage, Jungle, House, Techno and everything in between, his sets are never boring! Enter. DJ Caspa

Leftback records head honcho, Dudley, gives our ears the run around with this deep & groovy, yet minimal set. Dudely has a true ability to put a contemporary spin on deep, acidic and tech house. An impressive catalogue of music, you'll see Strangeways signed to labels including, Moda Black, Back To You, Klasse, Holic Trax, Albion, Large Music & of course his own imprint along with Michael McLardy, Leftback. Initially consolidating his reputation as a resident of the notorious Back To The Future parties at Nottingham’s Stealth, he is also resident for 52:50 based in the Midlands, but is no stranger to the likes of Sankeys and the big smoke. Having played alongside the likes of Jordan Peak, Terry Francis, Phil Weeks, Eddie Richards and Brett Johnson, Dudley is certainly part of the A team.

An unknown quantity, a shadow in the night, a whistle in the wind. Enter. Silent Listener

Daniel's had releases on labels such as Assembly Records, Made Fresh Daily and of course Jamie Trench's own imprint, Roots For Bloom.
