Aqua crunk?

If you want something to listen to before Forward Motion hits the airwaves tonight, at 22:00 gmt, then go check this mix by Rustie and Hudson Mohawke. I have heard what Rustie is doing being called aqua crunk step, but I have to say I don't quite get that label, it just seems a bit too well erm I don't know, it's not what I would call it. You can hear some Rustie later on in the show if you can hang tight, and see what you think.

And just so you all know that Forward Motion is prerecorded, I would hate anybody to think that I was doing it live...I'm not lazy, it's just I can never guarantee that I'll be able to be at a computer at that time. Go check out FutureBeat.

If you have any tunes, hit me up.

What do you reckon then?

So the first show finally went out on futurebeat, and the next episode is ready to roll. Any feedback is as always appreciated.

I think the next few weeks will allow the show to get back upto it's feet, my record collection always feels bare after a few weeks, it just seems that you end up playing the same names, which is no problem when it's good quality. I'm just going to keep my ear pressed firmly to the pavement to stay aware of what is coming up, or if you want to scrap that metaphor I'm just going to have to pay more attention to blogs, dj mixes, and well what other shows are putting out.

The trickiest thing for me is finding the right way of presenting the show, in terms of what I say, but also with the music policy, if I really have one, it isn't a dj mix therefore it doesn't have to be floor fillers, but I don't want the show to be too much like a home listening exercise where what goes down well in clubs is not played out.

And on that note if any DJ's want to do a guest mix give me a shout.

Shaking the airwaves

Forward Motion is back on the airwaves, and shaking them too.
We will be broadcasting on Futurebeatradio.com, and you can check us out Tuesday 22:00 - 0:00, or on repeat at Thursday 04:00 - 06:00 and Sunday 02:00 - 04:00.
I am currently putting together the first show and you can expect some Ghislain Poirier, Dexplecit, Kode 9 and TTC...it doesn't sound like things have moved on, does it? Trust me we have.

An update from Soundscape

I just thought I'd give you an update on the Soundscape FM front, I'm spending a fair bit of my time here at the moment. If you want to hear how bad I can sound on radio AV2day at 1pm should show you me cracking under pressure and sounding not great.
Also tomorrow we're broadcasting a day called space day, including 2 piece's I'm working on both called Out There In Here....they should be interesting.
