'Galup' is a Whadjuk Noongar word meaning 'Place of Fires' and refers to what is called 'Lake Monger' a remnant of the series of wetlands once known as the 'Perth Great Lakes'. In 1830 it was the site of a colonial era massacre when Redcoats of the British 63rd 'West Suffolk' Regiment and armed settlers pursued a party of Noongar from Mount Eliza to the shores of the lake. Subequently called 'Mongers Lake' after migrant John Henry Monger, who was given a land grant between the present day suburbs of Wembley and Subiaco, the Lake area underwent continual reclamation works and from the 1920s was dedicated for the purpose of 'public recreation, health and enjoyment'.

On the evening of February 16, 1981, nineteen-year-old Arne Johnson stabbed his friend and landlord Alan Bono to death during an argument, after which Johnson fled the scene and was arrested several miles away later that night. Under normal circumstances, the murder of one man by another in a small town would hardly register on the scale of national, or even regional news, but if Arne Johnson was to be believed, these weren't ordinary circumstances. According to Arne, the devil made him do it.Thank you to Dave White for research assistance.References:Associated Press. 1986. "Man released early in 'demon murder case'."

Luciano Galup, uno de los analistas de marketing y consultoría con mayor proyección de los últimos años sobre su primer libro «Big data & política» - un análisis pormenorizado de cómo la información se ha convertido en uno de los bienes más valiosos y las redes sociales en el medio esencial para la comunicación política en lo que va del siglo XXI. Para Luciano casi toda la actividad humana deja una huella digital que es almacenable y analizable. Los datos y las redes sociales se han convertido en una herramienta clave para la comunicación de nuestras sociedades y también para la orientación del debate público. Una parte cada vez más importante de los recursos de campañas políticas y de gobierno se destinan a las estrategias de análisis de datos y de comunicación digital. También crece el interés de los ciudadanos por el uso de los datos y de las redes sociales como mecanismos de participación y de seducción de voluntades. Casos como el de Cambridge Analytica y Facebook o la popularización de términos como "postverdad" o "noticias falsas" (fake news) amplificaron la difusión y el interés en las estrategias de comunicación política orientadas a redes sociales y la manipulación de información de los usuarios.

Explora cómo nos estamos adaptando a un mundo que produce cantidades desproporcionadas de información a velocidades irrefrenables. Estudia cómo se construye un candidato electoral en base a los datos sobre los votantes, en un contexto de fragmentación y microculturas, en el que un político ya no sólo debe saber hablar sino aprender a escuchar; y, a su vez, cómo se garantiza una participación amplia, transparente y genuina de la ciudadanía en el debate público. Y se pregunta, sobre todo, cómo comunicarse más y mejor para devolverle prestigio y credibilidad a la política y a la información, de cara a un mundo nuevo lleno de incertidumbres y grandes posibilidades.

Welcome to a very special Decomposed Radio 3rd anniversary show! Just over 3 years ago, I had a bit of a mad "eureka" type moment when I realised just how much amazing musical talent that I was surrounded by in my extended circle of friends, family and artists that I'd been lucky enough to share the decks with at some amazing events and parties over the years, and decided to create a podcast with the aim of showcasing some of these talented individuals. Decomposed Radio was born, and since then it's snowballed along nicely, and I'm really proud of the collection of amazing artists and mixes that we've accumulated, and made accessible to people. For the third anniversary show, it was always gonna have to be something pretty special, and I wanted to put together something a bit different, so I roped in Decomposed radio favourite DJ Galup, also know as Sam Whittaker, for a special B2B mix alongside myself. We got psyched and got the beers in, turned up the speaker volume and with no real plan just dived headlong straight into a freestyle 2 hour recording session that seemed to fly by in no time! I'm really happy with the end result, which is a full excursion through some great and varied techno records, with each of us reading each others mind with track selection at times and randomly jumping into the mix to layer in extra tracks and effects to spice things up! It's also a bit of a battle between the light and the darkness, with us both pulling in different directions throughout the two hours, which hopefully gives it a good dynamic, and keeps it interesting. Huge huge thanks to all the listeners for your support, pyche and encouragement over the years. Please please keep sharing and spreading the word, it really does help us do what we do!! So now.....Decomposed Radio presents...... Galup vs GusN8r.....a special back 2 back mix for the 3 year anniversary show! It's not going off.......it's gone off.......
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.......

Hi and welcome to the highly anticipated Decomposed Radio 2nd anniversary show. I'm so psyched that we've been able to continuously and regularly bring you superb house and techno mixes for two whole years, and am absolutely made up with the variety, breadth and quality of the artists that we've been lucky enough to feature. It's an absolute privilege to do what we do at Decomposed Radio, and hear the fantastic feedback from listeners all over the world! As is now Decomposed Radio tradition for the anniversary show, we have a stellar mix for you from the one and only "DJ Galup" or Sam Whittaker as he's also known! By now Sam needs no introduction to Decomposed Radio listeners, as his mixes are by far the most popular that we feature, with around 5,000 downloads to their credit, but needless to say Galup has upped the ante yet again, and smashed it out of the park with another incredible mix! It's an absolute whopper being the best part of two hours, and includes some cracking up to date and old skool techno that's melodic, tough, and everything in between, and as you'll have come to expect by now, you're in for a real treat! So crank it up, get psyched, and lock off until you black out, with DJ Galup for the Decomposed Radio 2nd Anniversary show........
Happy New Year and welcome to 2018 from Decomposed Radio! We hope you enjoyed some suitably raucous smash ups over the festive season, and have fully recovered and are all set for a big year! Today's show comes at you from the sunny south of France where we're getting some medium/ hard moves in, and as promised, features a live recorded set from Decomposed Radio favourite DJ Galup, also known as Sam Whittaker. We captured this at the ridiculously good "Works Afterparty" on the 9th December 2017, at some point between 6.30am and 11am, and it features some absolutely incredible vibes and music. It's an unbelievably deep mix of deep, melodic, bleepy techno and everything in between, so without wasting any more time....Decomposed Radio presents DJ Galup, live at the Climbing Works Afterparty....turn it up!!!
Happy Birthday to Decomposed Radio!! It's hard to believe that a year has passed already, since we started up a show and podcast with the aim of sharing some of the unique DJ talent that we're lucky enough to be surrounded by. Thanks to everyone who has listened, contributed to and supported us over the last 12 months. So far we've featured twenty six superb and varied mixes from some super talented DJ's across the UK and beyond, and we're not stopping now! For our anniversary show, we're rewinding back to where it all began! After the huge success of show #01 there was only one DJ that we could have asked to provide a mix for show #026, the one and only "DJ Galup" aka Sam Whittaker. Sam's mix from a year ago has had around 3,000 downloads across the different platforms on which we put the show out, so as such he's clearly a firm Decomposed Radio favourite! A super adept DJ and climber, over the last 10 years he's also the man behind the outrageous "Climbing Works" parties, which never fail to be an incredible annual night of house and techno here in Sheffield, so he's got a lot to answer for! After the outstanding mix that he put together for our very first show, it was hard to see how he could raise the bar, that said, we're very happy to say that he might just have outdone himself with the hour and a half of music that he's mixed together for us for show 26! Thanks again to everyone who's supported us over the last 12 months, please keep sharing the Decomposed Radio love to anyone you might think might like what we do, and here's to another year of house and techno from Decomposed Radio: It's not going off......it's gone off......

Welcome to another Decomposed Radio show. First up a massive big up to everyone who came out and danced all night at CODE Sheffield for the infamous annual "Climbing Works" Party. It was an absolutely amazing yet, with incredible sets from all the DJ's on the lineup, including an absolute smasher from the main man Mark Broom! We're really happy to say that we managed to record the whole night, so over the next couple of months we'll be featuring sets from all the DJ's who helped blow the roof off on the night! First up from the selection, and by popular request, sees the return to Decomposed Radio of "DJ GALUP" or Sam Whittaker as he's also known. Galup featured on the very first Decomposed Radio show, and his mix has had over 1500 downloads and plays, the most popular by quite a way. Sam played two sets on Friday 9th december at Code, however we've chosen to feature the set he played between 5am and 6am. Despite following an absolutely storming set by Mark Broom, he still managed to raise the bar, and the roof, and provide a superb conclusion to the night before we switched venues and commenced even more fun at the after party! So buckle up, and all hail the return of DJ Galup!
Never underestimate the power of a child's imagination. Children often understand much more than we think about our adult world. When confronted with something complex and scary, they seize upon what they do know and invent like crazy to fill in what they don't know. This is something every great children's storyteller understands, and something that I certainly hope first-time feature director Simon Rouby never loses sight of. His debut, Adama, takes on the task of showing the horrors of the battle at Verdun, one of the worst of the entire First World War, to a primary school audience. What helps enormously is that his titular protagonist is the same age as the people who will be watching him. Adama (voiced by Azize Diabaté Abdoulaye) is the plucky adventure-loving hero of this particular kids’ animation. He and his family live in a village in West Africa that is surrounded by lush vegetation, freshwater rivers and towering cliffs. His older brother, Samba (Jack Mba), has been his best friend and playmate for as long as he can remember, but now the time has come for Samba to become a man, with the heavy responsibility of putting food on the family table. However, his initiation ceremony is interrupted by the appearance of a seagull flying overhead, a bad omen. The ritual is halted, and this dark sign turns out to be very prophetic. Samba is offered a bag of cold coins by the recruiting "Nassaras," to travel to France and fight in the army. He accepts, determined to be his own man instead of the man his father has always told him he has to be. He tells Adama, on the night that he runs away, that he'll understand when it's his turn to leave childhood behind, and gives him the bag of gold. Right now, Adama doesn't understand in the slightest. He hears his parents talking about the terrible fate that awaits all those travelling to the front, but refuses to believe that his brother can't be saved. He too runs away from the village, taking the gold so he can return it to the Nassaras and have his brother back. An adult audience might view this as a cute but tragic story of a naive boy on a well-intentioned fool's errand, but a child probably has no reason to think his plan won't work. The genius of Rouby's direction of Julien Lilti's original story, co-written for the screen by Bénédicte Galup is that, on Adama's long journey, some of his wonderment will be shared with the young audience while other parts of it will seem very strange to them at first. After he has been walking for some time and arrives at the coast near his village, he thirstily slurps up a mouthful of seawater that he of course very quickly spits back out. This is the very first time that he has seen the ocean, a scene that really drives home to a Western audience how different his life has been from theirs, and yet also how similarly they both would react to seeing something for the first time. The same goes for Adama's first look at a White person, a mirthless military official on board a ship just like the one that would have taken Samba away, a faceless spectre looking more like a mannequin than a man. This figure is also rendered in 2D animation, along with the backgrounds and the crowds, while the characters in the foreground are animated in 3D. Any character that emerges from the nameless throng sheds their watercolour texture and gains a striking definition that also highlights their facial imperfections. The digital imaging, combined with the skilful clay sculpting by Michel Lauricella,, gives these characters a sharp yet jerky appearance, one that's lifelike without trying to be photorealistic. By the time we, and Adama, get to Verdun, and start seeing bombs, horrific injuries and lethal gas, the adults and teenagers in the room will definitely know that this storyworld is partly a fantasy, but one that rings true on an emotional level. Young children may not necessarily find the story as fanciful, in fact this may well be the most intense film they will have ever seen, but the animation is certainly a good cue for them not to take this at face value. Whilst they will surely identify with Adama, share his frustration with the adults in his life, feel the urgency of his quest and be just as afraid of its many dangers, I think they will also have a sense that everything is going to be alright in the end. They'll recognise staple kids film characters, like the streetwise sidekick, the eccentric wise old homeless man who is vaguely magical (Pascal N'Zonzi), and that one stuffy grownup that eventually comes around to helping our young hero (Oxmo Puccino, who also writes and performs a beautiful piece of slam poetry that is heard during the end credits). Together, all of them will reassure younger viewers that this is a fable, one where courage and kindness are rewarded, war or no war.Review written by Christian TsoutsouvasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He too runs away from the village, taking the gold so he can return it to the Nassaras and have his brother back. An adult audience might view this as a cute but tragic story of a naive boy on a well-intentioned fool's errand, but a child probably has no reason to think his plan won't work. The genius of Rouby's direction of Julien Lilti's original story, co-written for the screen by Bénédicte Galup is that, on Adama's long journey, some of his wonderment will be shared with the young audience while other parts of it will seem very strange to them at first. After he has been walking for some time and arrives at the coast near his village, he thirstily slurps up a mouthful of seawater that he of course very quickly spits back out. This is the very first time that he has seen the ocean, a scene that really drives home to a Western audience how different his life has been from theirs, and yet also how similarly they both would react to seeing something for the first time. The same goes for Adama's first look at a White person, a mirthless military official on board a ship just like the one that would have taken Samba away, a faceless spectre looking more like a mannequin than a man. This figure is also rendered in 2D animation, along with the backgrounds and the crowds, while the characters in the foreground are animated in 3D. Any character that emerges from the nameless throng sheds their watercolour texture and gains a striking definition that also highlights their facial imperfections. The digital imaging, combined with the skilful clay sculpting by Michel Lauricella,, gives these characters a sharp yet jerky appearance, one that's lifelike without trying to be photorealistic. By the time we, and Adama, get to Verdun, and start seeing bombs, horrific injuries and lethal gas, the adults and teenagers in the room will definitely know that this storyworld is partly a fantasy, but one that rings true on an emotional level. Young children may not necessarily find the story as fanciful, in fact this may well be the most intense film they will have ever seen, but the animation is certainly a good cue for them not to take this at face value. Whilst they will surely identify with Adama, share his frustration with the adults in his life, feel the urgency of his quest and be just as afraid of its many dangers, I think they will also have a sense that everything is going to be alright in the end. They'll recognise staple kids film characters, like the streetwise sidekick, the eccentric wise old homeless man who is vaguely magical (Pascal N'Zonzi), and that one stuffy grownup that eventually comes around to helping our young hero (Oxmo Puccino, who also writes and performs a beautiful piece of slam poetry that is heard during the end credits). Together, all of them will reassure younger viewers that this is a fable, one where courage and kindness are rewarded, war or no war. Review written by Christian Tsoutsouvas
For our very first episode we're honoured to have the man with the biggest biceps in both climbing and techno, Mr. Sam Whittaker, aka DJ Galup. Sam's been on the techno scene for many years and is the main man behind the legendary "Climbing Works Party" in Sheffield, an unforgettable and infamous annual night/ weekend of house, techno and awesomeness. We also have DJ Galup to thank for the inspiration for "Decomposed Radio," which is named after another outstanding night of techno in Sheffield that Sam and Harry "Dizzy9" Pennells ran back in the day. He's as handy behind the decks as he is on small crimps and powerful undercut moves, so what better way to start the proceedings at Decomposed Radio! As the man himself would say: "Go big, or go home...." If you enjoy listening to this half as much as we did recording it, we're onto a winner!!
