AbstractRadio session 53 - august 2023


"Future Classics - Round Two"


Meanwhile ...

Emerging unsteadily from deep below Abstract Towers, blinking in the early morning light, bedraggled yet still cuddlesome, our AbRad elves offer up the latest fruits of their labours: a selection of blistering basslines, bigroom belters and boombastic bangers - undeniably a deeper, harder, stronger, darker, faster and slightly more unhinged mix than recent offerings, so much so that faint wisps of smoke were seen seeping out of the back of the mixer come near the end.

We hope you enjoy, and muchas g. for listening.

Love and impalas,

Note: in an endeavour to counterbalance all this pressure, the next sesh will be light and fluffy.

AbstractRadio session 52 - june 2023


"Future Classics - Round One"

aka: so many tunes, so little time


Representing music from six continents, we present a melle, nay, a veritable gumbo pot of sing-a-long soulfulness, noodly headnodders, latin lovelies, tribal trackiness, delectable dubs and disco delights, all mixed to within an inch of their lives.

You may not get it, and, well, that's a veritable tragedy, but the elves have been bouncing off the walls for some time listening to this here at Abrad towers.

As ever, our deepest gratitude to all the artists, djs and musicians who contribute to this wonderful scene.

Thanks for listening, and let the light of love shine on.

Love and quokkas

AbstractRadio session 51 - april 2023


"Some deep house music for ya."

[aka: file under "noodly."]


OK, not entirely so as, just for you, we've thown in some tribal bangers, a smattering of latin beats and a soupçon of off-kilter weirdness.
All off the tab, on the house, no questions asked, a nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, know what I mean?

Al-zoh.
If you don't like deep stuff which achieves little apart from mess around with your head, you might want to stay away from this.
And if you really don't like deep stuff which achieves little apart from mess around with your head, you should definitely give this a listen - we made it for you.
Honestly.
Question yourself.

Couple of square-peg mixes lurking in here, but the tunes are a cross-breed of two pedigrees: blisterin' & crackin', so who cares.

Proper abstract stuff.

NB: This is our first "official" mix for heathis@ - still settling in, hope you like the show so far ...

Mind y'selves.
And the lampshade.

Love and yaks,

x

The AbRad team

AbstractRadio session 50 - part six


"It's a spiritual thing..."


And so, it comes to pass - yep, here's the tracklist etc for the sixth and final section of sesh 50 - our opening salvo at hearthis@.

A bit more rough and ready than the previous five parts of the session - things were understandably fairly frayed by this juncture.
Features a smattering of exclusive blends; pretty soulful, plus the odd cheesy banger to irritate the purists.
Altogether, a rather lovely end-of-the-night hugfest.

Once again, we made a vid for this one, but youTube blocked the Sister Sledge track!

Fortunately, fb have no such petty qualms regarding copyright on 40+ year old music, so we put it there instead - please see the link at the bottom of the page.

AbstractRadio session 50 - part five - REBUILT


"More multideck mayhem from our merry pranksters..."


Without further ado, here's the **!!!REBUILT!!!** fifth section of sesh 50 - our welcoming bear-hug-like introductory session to our lovely new home at hearthis@ - we hope you like the show so far!

This mix features the collected vocal talents of Aretha Franklin, Teddy Pendergrass, Greta Thunberg, Mutabaruka, Patrice Rushen, Rochelle Flemming, Cynthia Johnson, Nina Simone, Róisín Murphy and, of course, the wonderful Loleatta Holloway.
We're sure you'll agree, that's quite a line-up for a lacrosse team.

We've even knocked up a video for this one - you can find it here.

NB: some Session 50's six parts have been rebuilt since first posted on mixcloud back in 2022. The tracks are the same, but they've been reordered and re-recorded to produce, for us, far more satisfactory results.

Please get involved: subscribe to us here.

AbstractRadio session 50 - part four


"In full swing ..."


Welcome back.
Here's the fourth part of session fifty - our never-ending swansong session for mixcloud, and more importantly, the fanfare-inducing, mould-breaking, breath-taking introductory / welcoming session to our nice new home at hearthis@.

Going a bit more mainstream after the deep underground shenanigans that was Session 50 - Part Three, we're shifting into full soulful party mode now, with a heap of great songs and a couple of rehashed old favourites that have crossed our path in recent times.

As ever, we hope you like.

AbstractRadio session 50 - part three - REBUILT


"Turning up the heat ..."


Hi again.
Here's the ***REBUILT*** third part of session fifty - our farewell session to mixcloud, and more importantly, the fanfare-inducing, mould-breaking, breath-taking introductory / welcoming session to our nice new home at hearthis@.

Moving swiftly on from the funkiness that was Session 50 - Part Two, we're pulling out several stops now and dropping into some serious, sweaty main-set underground & fierce tribal house vibes - more bangers than a sausage factory.

Our special thanks to the lovely people behind labels such as toolroom and motive records for their dedication in championing this sound.

NB: A number of the parts of Session 50 have been rebuilt since they were first posted on mixcloud in late 2022. The tracks are the same, but they've been reordered and re-recorded to produce, for us, a far more satisfactory result.
We hope you like.

AbstractRadio session 50 - part two - REBUILT


"Slipping into something a bit more funky ...."


Here's the ***REBUILT*** second part of session fifty - our farewell session to mixcloud, and more importantly, the fanfare-inducing, mould-breaking, breath-taking introductory / welcoming session to our nice new home at hearthis@.

Following on from the delectable warm up that was Session 50 - Part One, we're stepping up a gear here, with something funky, some choice latin cuts, and a fair few slices of heavenly disco and soulful house.

NB: A number of the parts of Session 50 have been rebuilt since we first posted them on mixcloud in late 2022. The tracks are the same, but they've been reordered and re-recorded to produce, for us, a far more satisfactory result.
