We are sorry about the no show drama last Sunday. We faced some tricky technical glitches at the Wave House. For those of y’all who were there with us, soaking in the sun and vibe, we say a big thank you. And for those who patiently waited for the broadcast from their base, we are extremely sorry. But nevertheless our boys are ready to kick out the jams this Sunday, they cant stand the itch yo! They’ll be showcasing some quality Mixtapes by Meat Katie (UK), Cee (Al Haca, Austria) recorded live at Homeclub and our very own local hero, Dj Small from Zouk.

Please welcome back our local veterans for an onslaught Friday of Fixation. Reiki, the First Lady of bleeps and breaks is back with a vengeance, take heed boys and girls. Lookout for the killa Mixtape by Martyn, dBrigde and Instra:mental, exclusive from Fabric. Also Stereolab’s Head Honcho, Godwin grounds himself with us with his twisted signature sound. Its strictly 4×4, and watch your bassbins…please.

This Saturday, we welcome back our steady stable of tastemakers to kick off two of our flagship shows, Fixation and Swing.

Just back from the depths and peaks of Goa, sun-kissed and entranced, J.B is bringing us the funk and house in Fixation. Bon retour mon ami!

Missed us? We totally missed y’all. Since our hiatus, we are back; tougher than leather in our brand new studio filled with new shiny gears, pole dancers and Siberian tigers. We’ve got it goin on!

Thank you for joining us in the last year, through over 200 shows of MeshRadio goodness. Incredible isn’t it? MeshRadio’s family has played a massive role in popularizing genres and introducing thousands to amazing, tasteful music. It’s something we are enormously proud of. From the hearts and souls of the MeshRadio team we would like to thank everyone who has taken the time and commitment to get involved and make this project possible. We love em all! They’ll all be checking in real soon, so stay tuned.

We also take this opportunity to present to you our LIVE segment happening every Sunday. Kickin’ it off on the 24^th Jan, we welcome back our first batch of resident hosts, Kenneth F, Joshua P, Presha, Submerge, Raeburn and Ramesh.

On this 12 hour live broadcast, these boys reunite and share their love of rhythm, stripped down from minimal, funky, essential elements to revved up, jacking dance music to strut and break to. Alongside our seasoned MIXTAPE contributors like The Funk Bastard and Darren Dubwise, we welcome two new members to the family. One is the hardworking DJ and founding member of the Goodness Crew, Normsta and the other upcoming unsung hero from Stereolab, Edward. So let’s hold hands together once again and hymn to beautiful vibes.

Happy New Year Brothas and Sistas! Now listen up…

Yes its back! For the second time, Home Club and Bacardi are hosting the Arson series. Shoving opposites like Uly, Dubwise, Presha and Submerge in to the same room spells out carnage. The night will boast fresh sounds and the catalyzing energy of Swing. With our reinforced sound arsenal - courtesy of Vestax and Rodec - the sound quality is superb, the energy is through the roof and the DJs are all on fyah. Can you feel the heat brothas and sistas?

Sound the alarm for the 24^th October at Home Club, starting from 10pm…

Now refrain from setting yourself ablaze in excitement; we’ve selected a couple of mixes. First up is Mr Benn from Bristol. Winner of a recent worldwide Horace Andy and Ashley Beedle remix competition, Mr Benn mixes it up with some funky bubbly b-lines of dub, reggae and mash-ups. One half of Dubwise, Kable steps up to give you listeners a sneak peak of what’s in store for the night ahead: as always ruff and rugged! Lastly, we have to give props for the good work by Atlantic Connection and his Westbay recordings. Enjoy his personal touch of Drum n Bass cuts all the way from the US. Show your love and appreciation at www.myspace.com/atlanticconnection

Enjoy the vibe and see ya this Saturday.

If the devil’s in the details, then this will be one hell of a night. The Midnight Shift crew has personalised a mysterious and unique house music event, including a stellar line up of DJs. Prepare for MeshRadio’s regulars Uly and Anand (aka Presha) as their newly announced residents. And few are better qualified to provide an overview of house or techno’s parabolas and permutations than local guests Marvin Kam and X’hin. Along with such locale heroes, two mystery DJs from the US will be helming the main event. It’s all happening at Helipad this 23^rd Oct from midnight! Make the shift.

Log on to www.mnshift.com for more details.

Keeping you buzzing for the lead up to Midnight Shift, we’ve got two tasty treats. Firstly, Marvin Kam’s Mixtape debut on MeshRadio. Listen, learn and move to Kam’s master seminar. Also: an international mystery DJ showcase. When Robert says dance, you betta…

Ever so slight… but definitely for the better!

It’s been a swinging good eight months for all of us. As always, the praise and respect goes to our committed bunch, the MeshRadio family. Big love fellas!

After much thought and consideration, we’ve decided to take a hiatus on our live streaming shows for the weekends. Instead we’ll update the archive every weekend. So all you have to do is click on the respective show’s tab and hit up on your favourite featured show.

In the meantime, here’s the good stuff for this week. We know ya want it…

It sure does fellow MeshRadio heads! Our newly formed TNL mainstays, Josh and Kenneth, are no strangers to you by now. This creatively ambitious duo double-up duties on Fixation this Sunday, proving to be one of the favorite “internet emcees”. Along the Fixation trail, we welcome back the mad Frenchman, J.B, for another flood of personality-free electronic house musique. On a slightly dark and deeper note, we’ve got giant residents from Stereolab, Brendan P and Godwin P. The two Ps deliver enough grit to make you feel uncontrolled energy lurching about like a beast untethered. Fear not, they are very nice fellas in person. 

It makes sense that KidG and Michael Dustdevil have tastes that encompass Jesus and Mary Chain and Tori Amos. The gathering of indie rock and old-fashioned melancholy on Taste is introspective. Dustdevil’s band member Michael somehow ensures that all elements fit into a mixtape. Thanks mate!

Though their name suggest otherwise, Hot-4-U is not a mandingo group, but a trio of steady guys from our ‘hood. The confusion is understandable, cos of the playfulness of their voice and the sexiness of their selection. Always fun and ultra cool, Uly marries the familiar with the futuristic, crafting socially lubricating party vibes. Once again, its Mugic style on MeshRadio. And Aresha of Various Assets teams up with our trusted bassnicks, Presha and Submerge, for a hi-octane, funk-driven Swing, centered on Drum n Bass and Dubstep. Swingers rejoice!

And lastly, we would like to present to you a brand nu show called BEATROOT. Showcasing their interest in worldly rhythms and jazzy hooks, Raeburn and Ramesh expand your mind along the lines of Afro-beatness, Latin jams, eastern-influenced riddims to traditional rural hymns. If you’re looking for a microscopic inspection of one narrow genre, head elsewhere…

Truly we are nice people, not the ones who’ll start a bush fire or set ablaze a nu rave joint! Hmmm… maybe a nu rave joint… JUST KIDDING YO!!!

Thanks to the folks at Home Club and Bacardi, who looked us up and said “Why not a party?” We said we are not into the late night partying, but they told us that we will be like “hot stuff”, famous with the girls, cut queues for clubs and lotsa other perks. Before we knew it ARSON came about! On Aug 8, our boys from MeshRadio are having a night out, full of pure petroleum beats, featuring KidG, Hook, Kavan, Josh P, Kenneth F and Home Club resident Loopinmotion. The musical mavericks will be blurring genres with vibes from a starlit terrace to a dirty basement feel. You get the drift? Fall in fellow comrades!

In the meantime, get down to your weekly dose of infectious tunes by our true steady selectors. We salute you for a good weekend brothas and sistas!

We bid farewell to a strange but familiar man, beautiful to our ears…the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Thank you for your sweet soul sound, keeping us entertained and to be remembered for generations to come. RIP! Funkidread has put together a special tribute this Friday on Fudge.

It’s business as usual this week with our headstrong musical ninjas keeping you safe and in pace. Also. a big thank you goes out to Bloodunza, Hong Kong’s drum n bass premier, for sharing a thing or two on some bass-sic business. Next up is the master of his craft, tiny Titus. We tracked him down and dragged him in for a long overdue show on Fudge. Listen up this Sunday.

There’s a huge cause for celebration this week cos it’s Uncle Ernie’s birthday (our trusted, looking-good, committed, DESIRABLE BACHELOR, milk-loving engineer, who is also the heart n soul of MeshRadio). We take this opportunity to say thank you for the sweet tweaked sounds once again and happy birthday bro! We love ya… Just for this week Ernie is happy to share an ice cream with you. Hit him up on facebook- terrorbite macie. Be gentle thou…

Weathered, but not worn down by life’s ups and downs, this week shows are once again gracious and gregarious on an otherwise overcast day.

Alongside Godwin and Ramesh on Fixation, we see the return of minimal techno megatron, Arc and Peter Jay from NYC on mixtape duties. Welcome back the lovebirds Debbie and Kavan, fresh from Berlin with lots of fresh tasty beats served with sauerkraut. Now, for a classic Kenneth F and Joshua P’s Thursday Night Live “Did You Know” moment…

Sauerkraut is finely shredded cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. It has a long shelf-life and a distinctive sour flavor, both of which result from the lactic acid that forms when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage. It is therefore not to be confused with coleslaw, which receives its acidic taste from vinegar. The word comes directly from the German language, which literally translates to sour cabbage.

Topics from weird toilet experiences to serious dancefloor burners, be sure to catch the boys live between 10pm – 12pm and hit them up on MSN Messenger: thursdaynightlive@meshradio.sg

Continuing the lineage of discovering unknown gems and forgotten classics, two of our funkiest friends, Funk Bastard and Funkidread entertain us on Swing with a killa mixtape by NZ’s Dan Aikido. Kiaora Mate! Mash up extraordinaire Akira makes his first appearance on MeshRadio this Sunday, with phat B-lines and rich synths. Not to be slept on.

Taste’s KidG and Fudge’s Rufus flaunts a strong style and proves a worthy listen, as always. Listen up for Phuture’s Andrew Chow mixtape of old skool breakdance fused electro boogaloo…Lean back and learn up y’all.
