BT23

For this months instalment in the BT23 Mix series, is the Belfast based DJ, Robbie McCammon.

Carrying on in our monthly mixes, we challenged Robbie to play 23 of his favourite non dancefloor tracks, getting as weird as he could could, without the restriction of playing to a crowd.

As one of the finalists at this years AVA Emerging DJ Competition, Robbie caught our ears.
No different are his selections in this wide spanning (unmixed) mix.
His 23 tracks move between Ambient cinematic soundscapes, evolving low slung acid, hip hop beats and Glitched IDM before ending with a flat out 200bpm edit.

Featuring tracks from the likes of Paul Blackford, Sputnik One A/V and Aphex Twin to Sun Ra and Boards Of Canada - we hope you’ll enjoy this especially weird mix…

BT23 VA01 http://bt23.bandcamp.com/album/bt23-01-v-a This genesis release from Newtownards record label BT23 is somewhat symbolic to the increasingly diverse sounding environments of its surrounding area. Som

Apologies for being a bit quiet round here recently, our 2nd label release will be landing shortly.
However in the meantime we've cooked up a new monthly mix series, with label head Sam Pyper stepping forward and providing the first instalment.

For the series we had the idea to challenge Friends of the label to play 23 of their favourite non dancefloor tracks, and songs they wouldn't generally get a chance to play, whilst getting as weird as they can, without the restriction of genre or a dancefloor.

In his wide spanning (unmixed) mix, Pyper's 23 tracks move between Ambient, Trip Hop, Afro, Dub Reggae, Shoegaze and more...

Check the first of our mixes below

Sorry we've been a bit quiet here recently but hopefully the new music on the way will make up for it!

Big thanks to our friends over at Plain Sailing for premiering Nyla's debut track from our genesis release (more on that very shortly)

You can stream 'Wood Island Bass" from the link below in the meantime!

https://soundcloud.com/plainsailingbelfast/nyla-wood-island-bass-plain-sailing-debuts

Glasgow via Newtownards producer Nyla pulls up with a cut of screw-face dubstep, packed with malfunctioning electro and UK flavour.

As equally inspired by labels like White Peach as it is Planet Euphorique, 'Wood Island Bass' is sure to get all up in ya face in the best way possible 😤

The track comes as part of the genesis release from new local label BT23 - full release dropping Monday 30th March.

MASSIVE Thank You to all who came down to our launch night yesterday!

PSST were kind enough to upload their set from last night before Desert Sound Colony took the reigns to show Belfast a masterclass in mixing with countless Speed Garage weapons thrown in and out of the mix with ease!
Made it look incredibly easy and can’t say we’re not jealous of his record bag...

Below you’ll find (almost) 2 hours of delightful music from Timmy & Sam to get you through the post Halloween fear

PSST At USC - 02.11.19.MP3 We played 11pm - 1am at the Ulster Sports Club last night and it went like this...

Just the small matter of this one tonight!

One of the UK’s Finest DJs swings into town later on to give a masterclass in Ulster Sports Club...

If you haven’t been so lucky to catch Desert Sound Colony at the likes of Panorama Bar, Love International, Fabric or countless other shows across the UK then tonight is your chance!

Making his Belfast AND Irish Debut tonight, we are extremely exited to be getting to takeover 2 Rooms in USC - with the Korova. boys playing all night in the Committee Room and PSST (Timmy Stewart & Sam Pyper) completing the bill.

Ticket sales have really been picking up over the last few days but you’ll also be able to pay on the door tonight if you fancy extendIng your Halloween celebrations out some more.

We have a little competition running on our page of any of you fancy chancing your arm - with Guestlist, a DSC record, Buckfast and more to be won, why not?

For those who haven’t been so lucky to catch Desert Sound Colony in the past few years you can get a taste of what he’s all about below!

On the night expect plenty of UK Flavours from the man himself, a selection of all things broken by PSST aka Timmy Stewart & Sam Pyper, as well as the ever eclectic Korova Residents playing all night long in Room 2 - which will no doubt become very ridiculous, very quickly...

With that sweet, sweet payday getting sent into most of our bank accounts this week there should be no excuse, as we are keeping tickets for this affair cheap at only a tenner (link to buy in the comments for you lovely people)

Our guest Desert Sound Colony fresh off the back of smashing Berghain / Panorama Bar last weekend!
Just one month away now until he joins Korova. and ourselves for his Belfast debut

Well that was just off the god damn wall bonkers! God dammit Panorama Bar you know how to party.

Massive shout outs to Opal Sunn for tearing the roof off with that live set, iona for absolutely killing it on debut (I want your whole tracklist) Donald's House for bringing the mega sunshine vibes to the garden all day, big daddy Nick Höppner for making it all happen and finally all the mega dancers who kept the energy up at 110% from start to finish.

For our first event we have the amazing Desert Sound Colony joining us in the Ulster Sports Club.
On November 2nd we welcome him for both a Belfast and Irish debut, if you aren’t familiar, check this out from last week on Bradley Zero’s NTS show.
Expect breaks, house, UK sounds and even some techno...

Rhythm Section w/ Bradley Zero & Desert Sound Colony 11th September 2019 Playing Techno, Breaks, House. Rhythm Section Radio was founded in 2009 and moved to NTS in 2012, and has since pulled out the stops breaking new music, promoting independent labels and paying homage to the greatest music from the past, through a perhaps unhealthy obsession with record digging.

Limited amount of early birds available now...
