Its almost Glastonbury Festival time so what better way to get ready and pack your rucksacks then dancing about the house listening to bleepy techno.

All the usual trip out sounds from 6-8 pm (gmt) on brap.fm tonight plus if it doesn't effect the radio stream too much you can watch me press buttons on my Trigger Finger via the webcam.

The Mega Rave | Random Selecta! | 19/06/08

Posted by Unknown at 9:10 AM 0 comments
 


Blammo.... 2 hours of random tunage for your listening pleasure this week. I know it was ment to be a old skool rave show but alas I couldn't fine my tunes :( (I'm in the middle of moving my records to another room so hopefully I'll find them for the next show)

Also I managed to sort out the webcam as well which was cool. Basically once I got the webcam to not use its microphone but to stream the 'line in' audio.. ie/ straight from the mixer not me bumbling about chatting to Becky and typing on the keyboard etc it was rad, so I'll start using that for all my shows now :)

Ockhams Razor @ The Pheonix

Went to see Ockhams Razor at The Phoenix Arts Centre on Tuesday and quite frankly I was blown away.

Dramatic visual entertainment, a dazzling triple bill, presented by acclaimed aerial theatre group, Ockhams Razor. ARC examines the changing relationships between three people suspended in the air on a scaffold structure; EVERY ACTION is a playful look at the bonds that form when people are thrown together; MEMENTO MORI is an award winning powerful duet performed on a suspended metal frame




If you get a chance to go and see this don't hesitate... buy those tickets and watch and truely amazing show
