Decomposed Radio show 090 (or should it be 909 ;) ) is LIVE!
Featuring a live improvised techno set from "Alkis" it's one for the techno connoisseurs, and not for the faint hearted! 
With a background in electronics Alkis is right at home with analogue synths and beats, and specialises in hypnotic melodies, abrasive acid sounds and spacey synthtic rhythms, all created on a pure hardwear setup. Every set is live, unique and unrepeatable, and if you're a fan of artists like Jeff Mills and Surgeon..... you're in the right place!
The set was recorded at "Bagfest" a small festival in Nottinghamshire.... that sounds like it would make Robin Hood proud!!!!
Enoy.......!

Here in Sheffield, we're still reeling from the outrageous "Works Party".... all 3 phases of it!!

That said, the music doesn't stop and it's high time for another Decomposed Radio installment. For show 089 we have the DJ known as "Bleaklow" who's a familiar face as one of the organisers behind Ulterior - officially Sheffield's funnest techno night.

Also know as Miriam Dobson, Bleaklow's renowned for high energy techno with a dusting of acid thrown in for good measure. Today's show features a live recording of her set from the Saturday night of this year's underground and always outstanding Lakes Party, in the infamous Freeborn Man techno tent. It features tough, tonal and sometimes trancey techno and is as uniquely awesome as all the sets we feature on the show.

So crank it right up...... this is Decomposed Radio 089... with Bleaklow......

It's high time for another Decomposed Radio installment!

Up this time is "Fen" also known as George Boynton, a name some of you will recognise from a previous Decomposed Radio episode that was a real fan favourite, under the previous DJ moniker "Brutalist."
Fen is also the creative psyched and genius behind one of the Sheffield techno scene's most legit nights "Magnetic North" that specialises in meta-physical rhythms from Sheffield, Manchester and beyond!
For the first time in nearly 2 years Magnetic North returns to Sheffield and the lineup is weighing in heavy with DJs inbound from Berlin and London, all powered by Sheffield's very own RAZE soundsystem, at the prestigious Hope Works venue on the 24th of November.
Tickets are available on Resident Advisor, so save the date and check out the Magnetic North instagram page for more intel.
 
In terms of the mix for Decomposed Radio 088, it's the usual sonic mission we've come to expect from George. With deep hypnotic tracks, industrial crunch and bouncy grooves that's all set to become another firm favourite, and the catalyst for many a request to get him back on the show again.
It's a great representation of the pace and energy he creates on the dancefloor, so get stuck in....
This is Fen..... in the mix.... for Decomposed Radio 088.

Push on!!!!!

With everyone still reeling from Steve Worth's epic sonic expedition on show 085, it seemed only right to come up for air for a bit before heading back under for the next dose.

Sure enough, for show 086, we've got another smasher!

Elliot Shiel is rapidly becoming a name to watch and listen out for if you're a techno connoisseur, which we all are....

After being inspired to dive into DJing whilst surrounded by the climbing and techno scene at Uni and providing the soundtrack for many a wild house party, the cat well and truly got out of the bag after a polished and professional debut set at the infamous "Works Party" a few years back, which was one of the highlights of the main event.

This led to plenty more top notch sets at some great events, such as Sheffield's funnest techno night "Ulterior."

So get stuck in for this outstanding blend of deep and melodic techno and house, from Elliot Shiel on Decomposed Radio show 086......

Berlin based Dj and producer A.D.H.S. joined me for this weeks Patchat. We discuss his first gigs, throwing parties to dj, and how he got to play at the legendary Sisyphos the first time. We also talk about some of his memories of his first big shows, how he started to produce his own music, and his approach to being productive and creative. If you want to know where A.D.H.S. is playing next follow him on instagram

Welcome to the discotheque for Decomposed Radio 061, and our final rewind and revisit to Plug Nightclub in Sheffield back in December.

DJ GALUP, also well known throughout the techno and climbing scenes as Sam Whittaker has been the driving force behind the outrageously good annual "Works Party" for 12 years now and is a huge Decomposed Radio favourite.

His previous appearances on the show are by far and away the most popular mixes, clocking up over 6,000 downloads to date. So by now you'll have come to expect no less than an absolute smasher of a mix from this guy, and I'm glad to say you won't be disappointed with this live recording of his awesome and varied set between 2am and 4am at Plug on the 7th of December.

There's not much more that needs saying here, you know exactly what's coming, so batten down the hatches, lock off 'til you black out, and get your froth on, with DJ Galup live in the mix at Plug nighclub in Sheffield, for Decomposed Radio show #061.......
