Damn was that 2005

So this was the year that I fell headlong into grime and dubstep, the shows tracklists seemingly reflect that fact, part of it was due to boredom with the sounds coming from elsewhere, while some others I know have fallen back in love with Indie I just find it being the same old same old, makes a change from pop bands though I still think there is a lot to be said for a good forward thinking pop production even if it’s not cool or entirely my cup of tea, but I digress.

The strange thing for many maybe just how far behind I am in terms of what records are out there and what gets played, unlike many student shows this isn’t down to money all the time, it’s more down to the fact that trying to get hold of dubstep and grime in Newcastle is well difficult, there is a market for it, just not a huge market. Newcastle musically at the minute seems to have several camps the rockers, the indie kids, the house and the breaks kids, then there is seemingly a camp of us who have very diverse tastes, though I’ve yet to discover anyone who loves dubstep, with the university’s up here you feel it may only be a matter of time before dubstep and grime start to get the exposure they deserve.

Musically away from the likes of DMZ, Kode 9 and Skream et al, and Wiley, Plasticman etc, etc…what has really been getting me excited has been an odd bunch Four Tet is still doing the trick, as is a good amount of hip hop though I’m moving away from Anticon and Mush style artists who have seemingly reached their watershed, and instead the likes of Diplo and TTC have been inspiring, along with M.I.A. Skipping away from hip hop, Jamie Lidell’s album is a great album, sadly missed him up here in Newcastle though I did get to see him at Sonar, and now that is an experience. Sonar has to be my event of the year, although it’s amazing you always feel a slight amount of sorrow that you went to see someone instead of someone else, but you just can’t complain too much because it’s quite simply the best musical event I’ve ever had the chance to experience.

On a final not I’ll spare you the top 10 mainly because you’ll get bored of reading top 10’s by the 31^st December and well also because I can never remember if a track was released this year or last. Hope you all have a great Christmas and an even better New Year.

Black cats and beats

This shocked me, it's the scarf combined with the hair, no self respecting mackem would be seen looking like this. Also the fact that a Sunderland AFC scarf is deemed stylish streetwear shocks me. I promise some music related goodness soon, but Bok Bok has dropped another mix as does Paul Rose over at Hotflush
Yes there was no show tonight, I'm gonna have to say there won't be any shows until after January.
Peace
Matt

!Forward Motion!?

So what's going on in the world of the show, taking things step by step, day by day, as far as announcing when the next show will be...the usual technical problems seem to be preventing the show going ahead, however....
Things are getting positive, I'm hoping to get things going as far as making the show something more than it already is, at least one more station may have the show next year, and I'm also looking to push things forward on the technology front...podcasting, online mixes (which reminds me the infamous Bok Bok Mixes have re-emerged on our friends Dot-Alts blog ), hell maybe a proper website (ego stroking has to be done, haha), I'm hoping to have alot more info and news soon...also how does anyone feel about "Forward Motion" for the show name.
I also have plans a foot for some experimental radio/radio art, so just watch this space until I redirect you elsewhere to cyberspace....
Peace
Matt

Oh Not Again

Well looks like the technical issues in the studio are my undoing again.

The Need For More

To many who listen to the show it must appear that my entire musical background is in leftfield beats and dance culture, and now more than ever it feels that's where my record collection is heading. It's only when I go to gigs like Squarepusher on Thursday that I remember where it is that I came from, I still find it hard to believe that I started off listening to metal and rock, with a distinct disliking for what I associated with dance music. It's only really the sight of the same people I used to drink with when I was 16 and 17, and listening to Nu-Metal, that remind me of this, but while they still seem to like all those bands still, I find myself unable to stand that music any longer, which leaves me with a feeling that I've become narrow minded in my musical taste, which as Martin BlackDown indicates is not a particularly positive attribute of anyone involved the production and presentation of the medium. Luckily I do have a record collection that reminds me that there is more out there than just beats, this is when I listen to the few rock records I can still stand, and of course for the post rock and any thing else thats within my record collection.
I guess that some of my record collection will never be played on air for my fear that I could drift too far away from the sound I feel I want the show to concentrate upon, though you never know when some Godspeed or Mogwai may be dropped.
Peace

Tracklist for the all things fall apart on the 22nd show

Goes without saying that this show has been far from incident free, the computer crashed several times, so my masterplan to rescue me from the clutches of the CD Decks that will only occasionally play my CD-R's failed.

They're back under starters orders

Well correction I am, it's a one man show up here, still no definitive new show name, it's quite simply Matt France on the NSR schedule and my profile is online on the new NSR site sadly the take a wee peek link for the new site has disappeared so you'll have to wait before you can read the propaganda that sprang forth from my keyboard about the show.
So what new music have I managed to obtain, well still no copy of either the Stacs of Stamina or Ghislain Poirier album, hopefully I'll have managed to obtain them by next week. I have however got hold of a copy of Sway's promo cd, which is sounding very tasty, and Richard Devine's Cautella which is not entirely what I was expecting and may take several listens before I'm fully involved in the record at the minute it is washing over me.
So what has happened in the land of Matt France this past week prior to going on air tonight, well I had the pleasure of sitting in on Phill Jupitus' Breakfast Show for 6Music as he broadcasted from the NSR studio with the infamous acoustics. Had a great time, bar having to set my alarm for 5AM that morning. I've also been busy immersing myself in experimental radio, both creating a piece, think I might work on something for the show over the coming month, also checked out a great piece from BBC Radio 3 entitled Sound Mirrors which was created by Hari Kunzru and Coldcut, well worth checking out if you can find it online anywhere.
Bring on 10PM and the show.
Peace.

Sorry, so simple

So low and behold something had to go wrong, this time I have no one else to blame but myself, I'm chock full of cold and well put it this way I keep dozing off and turning into a zombie, if I had spent a day in bed I wouldn't have made this sacrifice, but for tonight it had to happen, apologises to Christian especially.
In the meantime check this damn stuff out, Vex'd on the Mix
Also if you haven't already go get the Ghislain Poirier album...breakupdown!
Peace
Matt

So once again a return, or a new dawn?

A new show, presented from the real life carnage that is a student radio studio. You can check the destruction in full vivid colour at NSR FM

Not Broadcasting in the Traditional sense

Just so you all know I won't be on air/online tonight as the streaming issue is still not sorted in the NSR studio, as soon as there are any positive developments I will let you know.
In the meantime I've been busy absorbing music, and well alot of radio education, for those who aren't aware I'm currently studying for a Masters in Radio (Production and Management) let me tell you it creates a sense of frustration when you're involved in other projects that you now know could be improved vastly, as if I didn't already know, still gotta love NSR for all the airtime they've given me.
On the Music front, the most important front, if you ask me, I've just got hold of the Modeselektor album which is one vast bag of electronic goodness, for one you have the immeadite impact of the bass heavy tracks most of which feature at least one collobarator, then you have the ambient melodic tracks that sound like they've been kidnapped from the warp back catalogue and been brought forward for a new generation to enjoy. I can see this album being used by me quite a bit.
On the bass heavy front my main men Lightbomb and Hadoken are gonna drop the ambience and go on an all out bass heavy attack, along withFirebrand who I haven't had the good fortune to see perform yet. They're promising a party atmosphere...I should be attending, but I won't be manipulating any laser discs on the night, sadly for me.
Also just spotted that my favourite collobrative mid-atlantic project will be releasing a third album next year, along with another pre-emptive assault in the form of a culture vulture mix. If you don't know who I'm going on about it's I-Sound's and Toby 'DJ Scud' Reynolds' Wasteland project.
On that great news I'm off to drink another coffee, contemplate what to do with my sorry ass for the next five hours, and obviously to play some tunes.
P.S I almost forgot go check out Diplo's Fabric Mix album and of course DJ/ Rupture's Low Income Tomorrowland

Time Elapses Quicker Than You Suspect

Since I last posted two shows have gone past, one show has been cancelled, and the second of the shows that I did was only an hour long due to the technical problems that led to Tuesdays show being cancelled.
So you may be asking what is going on in the world of Distorted Vision? First Distorted Vision is no more, I've had issues with the show name for some time, and after discussions with others close to the show I've decided that show name is to change. So what is the shows name going to be? I don't currently have a show name ready, I will however say that I'm toying with the idea of keeping it simple and not linking to a genre and name the show after myself, this however makes me uncomfortable, I for one am not one for the idea of bigging myself up by my name, hell I find it hard enough to say my name on air, but it seems that this could be the only logical step, especially when the show doesn't really have a fixed genre, just a fixed idea to expose music that I think is great. Sorry to disappoint the shows mission is not to rinse TTC and M.I.A it just seems like that's what I've been doing alot, recentally.
In further ego-maniac activities of the man called France I may well be setting up a website, this will all be based upon how often I can update this place, and just what on earth I can put up on the site.
Anyone got any suggestions or comments, just hit me with em. Anyway thats it for now, the last two weeks shows tracklists are posted below so enjoy what you missed.

This is it...

Distorted Vision roles out on FM for the first time in well over a year, very little has changed, music is still the best leftfield beats and some. So the score is this Distorted Vision on NSR FM at 106.7 fm in Newcastle or www.nsrfm.com for those worldwide! We're keeping that 10 til Midnight slot on Tuesdays which is always good if you ask me. This will, this week, lead to a logistical nightmare involving cats, taxis, public transport and university induction (fingers crossed).
Meanwhile in far cooler news Distorted Vision gets back to in smokey rooms with pints and links up with Lightbomb and Hadoken at the Head of Steam, on Wednesday 5th October. Expect some pre-gig fun the night before with myself and Lightbomb live on the airwaves.

Back Once Again...

Like a Renegade Master!
Distorted Vision will be online, on air and hopefully on fire as of Tuesday 27th September at 10pm, sadly it appears it will be only one hour...though I might just sit tight for the second hour.
So what you'll be hearing is anything from dub to breakcore, reggae to grime and hell quite abit of hip hop...all this free from your Westwood, Zane Lowe style hype with no love.

Somebody pressed pause

So then what is going on in the wonderful world of Distorted Vision? Well like a lot of things it's all up in the air, NSR is officially on air...there will be a show, just when who knows. There may also be a show on another student station although that all depends on what happens regards my academic/proffesional life.
So what is currently testing the speakers...run the road 2 is the most obvious selection, apart from that I seem to be tredding on older ground, with Caribou, Four Tet, TTC and various other usual suspects making up my audio pallette.
Elsewhere I'll hopefully be taking my djing out and about in the next few months, though for more on that I guess you'll have to keep coming back. Of course thanks to Lightbomb and Hadoken for a great night last month (Indicates that I need more Fibre to keep me regular.)
On a final note there is a major disadvantage of high speed internet connections, which is that once you've became acustomed to said high speed connection a poor old back in the day dial up modem becomes increasingly frustrating...hence the lack of internet usage.

Summer, Sun...a Siesta

As the summer passes by and I still haven't sorted out a webcast it looks like it won't happen until NSR is back, but fear not for there is plenty to listen to out there, in fact too much to listen to. The Dudes EP out on Shadetek for instance is from all the comments I've heard well worth checking out, plus there is a vast number of Diplo mix albums available now...with a Fabric Mix CD on the way. The Vex'd album is most definitely the dark bass heavy soundtrack to the summer.

Now for the activities of myself, a debut live DJ set from myself is in the works...don't expect no beat matching or fancies tricks, just good tune selection, I'm a radio DJ not a superstar DJ or Lord of the Decks unlike some of you guys. This will take place in support of Hadoken and Lightbomb at the Telegraph on August 22nd.

Sonar and Sodden Saturdays to Come

So Sonar! Summer, Sun, Spain and Sonics...just what you need!!! Highlights had to be DJ /Rupture at L'Audotori, Subtle, Chemical Brothers (got me reminicising of the days when I was 16), Diplo, Jamie Liddell...to name but a few. I did, I have to admit, miss M.I.A though the compensation was seeing Luke Vibert. Sonar also sparked my interest in Soul Jazz records, the sort of record label where if you owned the whole back catalogue you'd be drowning in good good stuff...like a toddler swimming in butterscotch angel delight.
So back to England, where the monsoons have begun, well it's glastonbury weekend isn't it. Though India is seemingly lacking the annual monsoon weather on another tip. My audio therapy for the evenings, after selling diamonds and pearls to the annoying and tiresome, currently consists of Odd Nosdam - Burner, not feeling it as much as I used to feel the anticon stuff, Enduser - Comparing Paths...which is just basically the breakcore album I'd recommend to the non breakcore fan, lots of energy...yet seemingly on a leash of sorts. Bring on the Vex'd album.

Term is over and a summer of silence looms?

Well that's it for Distorted Vision, term is over as far as the majority of students are concerned and so as far as NSR is concerned. However keep on checking for a few things are in the pipeline, me and certain others are looking to convert my bedroom into some sort of distorted vision webstream station for the summer, that won't happen till after the 20th when I return from Barcelona and more importantly Sonar.
In the meantime get yourself to your local record store and buy Virus Syndicate's "The Work Related Illness" and Four Tet's "Everything Estatic" you won't be let down, or go out and check out Radio Clit

Brazilian Beats for Byker

It's a bright sunny dayand it just reminds me that this summer is gonna be one of baile funk, brazilian beats a plenty and mainly thanks to this gem of a website, which has seemingly been promoted all across blog land the last few days, Shadetek and Rupture are to blame for my discovery of the site. On the baile funk tip I have a feeling that my show next week will certainly start off with some baile, along with the usual mix of prog-hop, hip hop, crunk, grime, breakcore and electronica, or put simply whatever I'm listening to at the moment.
I'm also currently enjoying the new eat more chickens site, hopefully I might Zowie to do some new posters for the show if he ever gets time.
Oh and make sure you check out Kode9's mix for Brazilian radio

Thoughts of Stefani rockin her L.A.M.B

I'm starting to notice more and more that the same riddims are being picked up both by what some deem the mainstream and what some would like to believe is the underground. The sounds the likes of Diplo, Rupture et al are going with right now crunk, grime, baile funk, whatever else you wanna throw in there are also appearing on the candy coloured pop videos of the likes of Gwen Stefani, I mean I can't complain about the track itself though Steffani's voice does grate on me more and more, but the production and more importantly the rhythm are infectious as hell. Not actually sure of where I was gonna go with this, bar the fact that the borders between us and them, mainstream and alternative are nothing but a mass of air.
Anyway back to the dissertation, great the discussion of results. Watch out for the show tomorrow, Alex from Dot-Alt has handed over a nice and grimey mix.
Edit
In a pre-show check out of radio clit I see diplo has done a remix for the lovely Miss Stefani, any odds on M.I.A and Gwen collabing?

The mystery solved

So I found it, last night during the show I didn't look hard enough. So the mysterious track 8 from the Mancha De Platano on Beta Bodega and Etihad was a track entitled Ritmo Siniestro by Ectomorph.
Next week things should be smoother.
Also Kode 9 and Daddi Gee doing Ghost Town, I can't believe it took so long to penetrate.
Anyway back to my dissertation, the relationship between gender and musical preference anyone?

A new home for distorted vision

Finally, I have decided to embrace the whole blogging experience, giving me somewhere to call the shows own.
Guess there will be a link from the NSR site to this soon, as soon as that site's been sorted as well.
