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!

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.

Continuing our interest in music and technology, MeshRadio is dam proud to bring you a brand spanking new show. And that show is Thursday Night Live - every Thursday from 10pm to midnight, hosted by our mighty rockers, Kenneth F and Joshua P. If you are seeking to expand your mind, tune in to the humour of these boys served up fresh and direct – accompanied by a musical palate from the shows you know and love: Fixation, Fudge, Swing and Taste.  Step inside a new kinda Thursday.  

But wait, there’s more. You can hit us up on MSN messenger during the show thursdaynightlive@meshradio.sg. It’s one hundred percent interactive. It’s coming to you live and direct baby!

Hopscotching across breaks - house to techno – our favourite collaborators Kenneth and Joshua are still packing punch. Can you handle the blows? Since his days drumming for Livonia, KidG has shown a knack for unpredictable melodies and quirky classics. Taste is arguably the most satisfying show he’s created. J.B. has mastered the art of quality layering through a series of catchy and uplifting house records. He’s matched up with special guest Matty Wainwright on Fixation. They are all guzzling the same stuff, great stuff!

Saturday starts off with Brendan P. Between the spaces of house and techno-fused tunes, he sequences subtle beats like heart attacks wrapped in synths and silk. To set the record straight, Funkidread is not from Kota Tinggi. But he sure does sound like he’s from Harlem. His sweet soul gems are essential for purists and highly recommended for everyone else! By now, Presha and Submerge’s contributions to Swing are well known to Drum n’ Bass and Dubstep fans everywhere. As always, there’s no fall of in quality whatsoever in this week’s showcase covering a decade of drum n bass. Class in session.

It’s always lovely when this trio get together on MeshRadio. With shades of nu skool through to old skool, Hot-4-U will find an easy place in your heart and soul. It’s a perfect Sunday. Never mind wondering who Rufus is and why that voice. What matters most is his return, employing a wealth of rugged beats and free flowing vibes. Can you dig it? On his debut, Max-Lane, formerly known as 3Godess, makes his presence heard on Swing. This seasoned underground musician has pushed the envelope further as a producer and a DJ. He’s here to prove that fearless experimentation pays off. Welcome aboard Brotha.

It’s almost too perfect that MeshRadio includes some killa mixtapes with the likes of Avneesh, Matty and Ninja Tune’s Hint.

Woo hoo!

We at MeshRadio sincerely love music.  All kinds really….but trance music on the other hand. Nah, just kidding.  Even the Funk Bastard loves Trance.

Our inspiration comes from music that’s embraced and championed by musicians and producers alike. And our drive to push on comes from you, our listeners. By tuning in, you are the motivators. A big thank you to the thousands of motivators out there.

This week, please welcome our quality tastemakers. Their energy is through the roof and they are sending you sunny vibes to beat the heat.

This right here is real, straight from the heart.

With guests from Australia and the darkest reaches of Singapore, we’ve got Melbourne’s DJ Mugen parlaying his love of music with free form street party roots. Don’t miss out on Mugen’s DJ set at Hacienda this Friday, log on to RightClicka for more details.

Freaking the beat with our mainstays are local heavyweights Xhin and Kiat. These two names occupied a spot in most DJs playlists throughout Singapore and beyond. Expect only the freshest sounds.

The standout for this week is clearly our recording of Japan’s ‘Quasimode’, live at the River Festival last year. Witness the experience of these jazzy stylers utilizing dusty horns and piano licks. For those of you who missed them at the River Festival, it’s a winner!

Lastly, we’re feeling the love for our seasoned stars at MeshRadio. Get lost and then found again with their selections. There isn’t a wack beat to be had. Respect!
