Bside Incoming: Alinka For our 186th show we take a trip over the Atlantic ocean to Chicago and warmly invite Alinka to showcase some of her favoruite club equipt house and tech records. "There are at least a few people in this thing determined to keep House Music weird. Chicago's Alinka is one of them." – Terry Matthew, 5 Magazine. Alinka is the kind of DJ other DJs will tell you about. She has a unique power on the decks that comes from lifelong passion and time served, with a focused devotion to her first love – house music. Raised on Chicago's vibrant house sound with toes dipped into Detroit techno, Europe's more robust approaches to bass music and the myriad of genres coming from cities like Berlin, London, and Paris. Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Moving to Chicago in the late 80's, she fell head over heels for the chart sounds of Madonna and Janet Jackson. Then came house music from local radio shows where you could frequently hear tracks by Chicago legends like Cajmere and DJ Funk, and shows like Sonic Boom helped expose underground music to the masses. By the late ‘90s, music had taken over her life. Teenage Alinka immersed herself in the dance music scene, spending her summers pulling double shifts at a local pool and moonlighting for rave promoters to build up enough cash to buy decks. After a year of skipping class to relentlessly practice her mixing skills, she began her full-time musical pursuit. Working for various club promoters, doing odd jobs passing out flyers and helping with party logistics - anything just to get into clubs underage to see her favorite DJs - all while spending hours digging for tracks at Chicago's legendary record shop Gramaphone. In 2001, Justin Long recruited her to be the opening resident for his Dotbleep party at Smartbar where she honed her skills for the best part of a decade. In 2012, an impromptu meeting with former Hercules and Love Affair vocalist, Shaun J. Wright, changed her life forever. Their evolving friendship resulted in what would be the first of many musical collaborations. The pair launched their Twirl parties and label, continually striving to inspire each other both musically and spiritually; the result has been an impressive catalog of material for both of them collaboratively and individually on the likes of The Classic Music Company, Jackathon Jams, Crosstown Rebels, Leftroom, and of course Twirl, where as well as their own material the duo have welcomed renowned artists like Spencer Parker, Virginia, LA-4A, Kim Ann Foxman, and Jason Kendig onto the label. Recent years have seen Alinka really hit her stride as a producer with successful releases on world-renowned labels like Rekids, Crosstown Rebels, Need Want, Permanent Vacation, Harry Romero's Bambossa Records, He.She.They, and Peggy Gou's Gudu Records, which is forthcoming in 2024. She also turned out a standout collection of remixes for labels Me Me Me, Live At Robert Johnson, Lone Romantic, Keinemusik, Get Physical, and Pets Recordings. Now living in Berlin, Alinka has well and truly found her feet and inspiration. Alinka has used this base to throw down at parties across Europe from Berghain/Panorama Bar to Circoloco, with regular visits back to the US and Kyiv to play at stand out bars. Her evolution continues with the recent relaunch of her Twirl imprint, highlighted by the ‘Day Dreamer', ‘Sorry For Not Trending' and ‘Edgewater' EPs that finely balance Alinka's future-focused ethos, with an unmistakable, proud passion for her Chicago heritage. Check out just released Edgewater EP here! - https://alinka.lnk.to/TWIRL032 Enjoy the ride.

Bside Incoming: Ziggy Zeitgeist For our 147th show, we are honoured to bring you the impeccable selections of Ziggy Zeitgeist. Boy were we excited to listen to what Ziggy would send us. Being both one of the leading names in the nu-soul/future-jazz scene as well as an avid record collector, we knew we would be in for a treat. He's the drummer for the Australian based band 30/70, who have released some creative, liquid smooth blends of jazz, modern funk, hip hop and soul on the likes of Rhythm Section and Moontown records. An absolute classic: 30/70 - The Strut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e4dp-D1FOo Now living in Berlin, he has pushed his sound in modern jazz via his band - Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, creating some truly stunning and intricate music. Their music has made fans out of Wayne Snow (who has featured on one of their albums) , Gilles Peterson, Bradley Zero, Kamaal Williams, Byron The Aquarius, Moxie and more. A personal favourite track - 'Big up' https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Yzi3Mk2ULHY Be sure to also check out this journey of an album from him - 'Prayer For Peace', perfect for a chilling Sunday like today. https://zeitgeistfreedomenergyexchange.bandcamp.com/ After spending time with his father looking for records to play us, we are blessed to gain a treasured glimpse into what music influences his style with this Bside Podcast. Pulling out nothing but gems from percussive grooves, calming classical, jazz funk, soul, latin sunshine, and more... Enjoy!

Bside Incoming: Szafran We're very excited to bring you a wonderful DJ/Producer from Poland, he goes by the name of Szafran. Oskar Szafraniec plied his trade under the mentorship of the legendary A Guy Called Gerald before basing himself in Berlin where his regular appearances at Club der Visionaere, Watergate, Tresor and Salon zur Wilden Renate would fine tune his live performance. He has since released on notable labels like Rawax, Deset and Cyclo, and collaborated with some serious heavyweights like Ricardo Villalobos and Pier Bucci. But, after an enforced end to his touring days, the industrious Polish DJ sought a change of scenery on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast. A much needed break from performing and producing allowed a chance for new influences, inspirations, production styles, and his new alias: Szafran. The result is a beautiful balance of hardware, software, and organic sounds; breakbeat drum loops, synths, keys and the signature sound of a 303. Be sure to check out his HOME AGAIN - 003, the third release on previous guest Thabo's label: https://linktr.ee/homeagain003 For his Bside podcast, expect Jazz, Funk, Soul, rising into some superb house selections. And why not listen back to an excellent episode from the label boss: Thabo: https://soundcloud.com/bsidepodcasts/bsideincoming-thabo Szafran's SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/oskarszafraniec Szafran's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/oskarszafraniec/ Thanks to Molly Hickey for the beautiful artwork as always. www.instagram.com/mollyth.art/ Follow the Bside Instagram for updates/news/vinyl and general music chat: www.instagram.com/bsidepodcasts/

Bside Ep. 34 Rebecca Vasmant It's always a pleasure to invite our favourite local musicians to the Bside turntables. Stepping up this time to record an episode live at Radio Buena Vida is the incredible DJ and jazz musician: Rebecca Vasmant. Watch the live recording here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_u8YVx_-Yk&t=147s In a dance music scene dominated by digital sounds and programming, Rebecca provides a refreshing dose of jazz infusion, acoustic instruments, and a diverse knowledge of music. With live events and record fairs, she has certainly made a name for herself in her hometown of Glasgow, but her musical pursuits go beyond spinning and collecting records, and her reputation exceeds Glasgow. As a musician and composer she has had a six month tour with eight-strong Ghanaian outfit Kakatsitsi, events at Worldwide Festival Sete, Glasgow Jazz Festival, EFG London Jazz Festival, Jazz Cafe London, Kasheme Zurich, Brilliant Corners, Casper Montenegro, the Baltic Soul Weekender, and an exciting new residency at Ronnie Scott's as part of the 'Panro' collective. We can't get enough of her latest release “With Love, From Glasgow” a soothing jazzy dreamscape: https://rebeccavasmantartist.bandcamp.com/track/jewels-of-thought But for now let's tuck into a masterclass of selections all under the wide spectrum of jazz, flowing from calming Brazilian vocals, hypnotic eastern horns & sitars, aggressively energetic trumpets, and everything inbetween.

Bside Incoming: Marie Midori Bside Incoming will transport us, once again, to Berlin. This time we're meeting with a DJ renowned for groovy basslines and trippy melodies, you're certain to discover some new sounds on an extra-terrestrial voyage with Marie Midori! Her musical journey includes childhood mixtapes of 90s music, guitars around the campfire on her scout adventures in Slovakia's forests, and busking on the streets of Dublin, all before throwing herself into the craft of DJing. Her late 20s, marked by an obsessive compulsion for collecting music, defined her sound which is at once hugely varied and totally distinctive: eerie electronica, breaks, otherworldly sounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hV73c6iJkM&t=2864s Her contribution to the Bside series really is a gift - a venture into her more downtempo, dystopian and somewhat hypnotic records that she doesn't often play out, yet still infused with an energy that urges you to move.
