Nest Podcast

This episode comes from a true legend in the Uk Garage scene. Jeremy Sylvester delivers podcast 027, a couple of days after smashing it at our birthday, then again at the garage at the afters.

Jeremy Is one of the founder forefather of the Uk Garage scene and dominated the scene in its hay day during the late nineties. Jeremy has been both the backbone and poster boy for the UK Garage scene and has continued to pump out tune after luscious tune and was signed labels Nice n Ripe Records, Azuli Records and Roger Sanchez’s imprint Stealth Recordings.

He has been making dance music from the early nineties producing under various names:
24 Hour Exprience, Dub Foundation, Ambassadors Deep Cover, Groove Connection, G.O.D. and probably about another 30 more monikers which all convey the musical depth of this very talented DJ. Expect a very unique set of house and Garage a sound which we absolutely love here at nest.

Deymare hails from finland and has had rather an illustrious career, with as much drama as a rocky sequel. Coming back after nearly giving up from one too many knockbacks from the proverbial Apollo Creed, he's pulled himself back and is now busting out all the stops. Deymare like a young Stallone is back from the early set backs in his career and producing some of the finest music we’ve heard for a long time.

Signed to labels such as Morris Audio, Wilson Records , Local Talk and Quinessentials we are glad for one that he was re-inspired into producing again.

Like a lot of Deymare’s production’s this mix covers all things deep and has jazzy roots to it too ; Great mix and another tip top addition to the series.

Nest Podcast 025

Quarter of a century mark brings us a special addition from one of the true purveyors of house music, Mr 909 himself Phil Weeks.

He prefers vinyl, likes his mixes dirty, and knows how to rock a crowd with a heavy hitting bass line. Phil Weeks is a house purist dedicated to bringing the world only proper house music with his Djing, his producing and his label. The infamous Robsoul Recordings has seen the likes of Jordan Peak, DJ W!ld, DJ Sneak & Mark Farina all release huge tunes on what has to be one of our favorite labels.

The mix is an exclusive and we’re pretty honored to have our hands on it. I’m sure you’ll agree this mother twister got your head moving more than a nodding dog over a cobble street.

Next up we have one of vibes and peppers most talented, bringing that solid raw underground sound, it's Tomska.

He’s literally playing with all our emotions by just giving us a taste of what to expect at the next nest, where he will be gracing the decks with fellow vinyl junkie Underground Paris.

Tomska is a true purveyor of underground deep house, his interest developed during the 80′s when key cities such as Chicago and Detroit were outlets for new forms of music. Tomska explored the DJing universe in the clubs and bars from 1995. He started playing the warm up slots in the first house clubs in Belgium. Since then he’s become a famous DJ for his underground culture mixing up Chicago and Detroit House music.

His latest release is on Vibes and Pepper 002 which serves up exactly what Tomska is about raw 90's deep house at it's very finest.

When you ask Tomska to put you together a mix you know it’s going to be bumpin from start to finish. Here he’s delivered a nice mini-mix with just 30 mins of bliss. When asked why it’s only 30 mins. He replied I’m just warming up for the 24th.

We pride ourselves on showcasing the freshest sounds and this podcast is no exception, for this episode we have the French prodigy & future Nest guest Coni.

Coni is certainly one to watch. At the tender age of 17, the French youngster could only gain entry into nightclubs to mix, but already controlled the turntables better than most adults. This youngster has already played alongside the likes of Pearson Sound, Julio Bashmore and Catz N Dogz in his relatively short career.

His musical style is refreshingly unique, Coni not only Dj’s house but is fluent in many other genre’s, from Garage to UK Funky. This unique blend of musical styles can certainly be heard in this exclusive mix. Expect plenty of unreleased material, with fresh new sounds brimming throughout.

Already being compared to the likes of Julio Bashmore, we expect major things in the future for Coni. See what all they hyped is about when he comes to Leeds for the very first time on February 25th.

Our 22nd Episode comes all the way to from sunny Australia from fun loving ozzy Little Fritter!

If you’re not aware of this guy then, here's the lowdown. His first release came in 2008 on Music Situation and he has since released on solid house labels; Affin, Catwash, Diaphan, One Records, Brut!, Suruba, Beef Records, Merkesdir, Trazable, Rhythmetic and Bleep Bloop. You get the point, the list of quality labels he's released on is endless

This mix is as strong as they come staying to his pure house ethos. From start to finish the mix delivers bomb after bomb. It's another personal favourite in the nest series and it’s a pleasure to have Little Fritter deliver such a quality addition to it.

Enjoy this little beauty turn it up!

Illvibe Collective is a DJ and production team hailing from Philadelphia. Since its founding in 2000, this six-man family comprised of Mr. Sonny James (aka Statik), Panek, Phillee Blunt, Lil Dave, Skipmode and Phsh, has been making an indelible mark on the music world, both individually and as a team. By producing tracks, playing gigs, touring with performance artists of all musical styles, and running consistent radio shows, their DJ and production footprint reaches clubs, concert venues, festivals, and the internet in all parts of the world. The Illvibe style is rooted in Hip Hop yet draws from a variety of genre's including Funk, Soul, Broken Beat, Electro, House, Rock, Afrobeat, and Bossa Nova.

We Found these guys by a good friend who showed us a hip hop mix on one of our favourite blog sites. After doing our research and looking into them further we asked if they could compile edition No. 21 for the nest series, assuming they would stick to their Hip Hop credentials. However these guys have blown us away with an astounding electronic mix, which showcases their musical versatility.

Please support this fresh act and remember the name illvibe Collective. Their debut album ‘All Together now’ is in stores now via SoulSpazm/Fatbeats.

We are very grateful to have a rare mix from a man who you will most likely never see Dj out. Alex Agore can be described as one of the bastions of true house music, gaining notoriety for his no nonsense house productions. Little is known about the illusive character who takes to the decks for the very first podcast of 2012. One thing we do know is that he has constantly impressed us here at nest. His unique deep sound has a resounding feel of classic 1990’s house and it’s a sound we really can’t get enough of.

Agore, a resident of the musically rich city berlin, co owns No Matter What records alongside Glaswegian James Johnson. Their imprint is still relatively young but has had a great reception and acclaim from some key players such as Nicholas, Jimspter and Ethyl. Other than releases on No Matter What, Agore has released on some of the most respected labels around at the moment. His releases on 4Lux, Royal Oak and Quintessentials all gained a huge amount of love, even making the Juno top 100 deep house tracks of 2011.

With his dj sets few and far between we’re extremely happy to have a rare exclusive set from the man himself. Expect a lovely deep mix, laced with straight up house music throughout.

Well apologise have to be made on our behalf for the delay over the past few weeks but we can assure you we are back in full swing after the dog ate our podcast.

For the next episode we have our last headline act at nest, the german deep house veteran who goes by the moniker, Lovebirds.

Lovebirds is the solo project of Hamburg resident Sebastian ‘Basti’ Doering. Following 3 excellent singles on the much-respected Winding Road Records label, Lovebirds is big news right now. Labels such as Freerange and Buzzin Fly are often hot on his heels, eager to sign his tracks.

The Lovebirds sound is like a blast from the past with house steroids packing serious production muscle. Listening to Lovebirds is like taking trip back to the 70s and 80s - but riding in a gleaming futuristic spaceship.

His production experience means that he is able to finish well-rounded tracks off in a matter of days, constantly building a repertoire of classy dancefloor and mellow sounds all destined to wow the world with a huge back catalogue. It’s almost certain you have shaken your stuff to his work numerous times on the dancefloor.

There are few artist's that you can ever really say "you haven't heard anything else like it" and few which have such a refreshing take on electronic music. The last in our opinion was Nicolas Jaar, and we can safely say that this act isn't far behind. For this episode we have the stupidly talented Aquarius Heaven.

Aquarius Heaven might be new to the electronic music world, but he is no newcomer to the music scene as such: Aquarius Heaven, born Brian Brewster, is an ex reggae dancehall and hip hop singer.

It was pure chance that Brian became involved with the electronic music scene after he moved to Paris in 2005, where he meet the Parisian electronic music trio dOP. After spending hours in the studio with the three musicians, Brian's musical sound was profoundly changed.

Yet, we can still hear the colors of the Caribbean in his vocals, and since he is new to the genre, his music is unbound by the old rehashed sounds and limitations of the electronic music scene. All of this creates for a very interesting musical ride.

With backing power from Wolf & Lamb, Circus Company & Watergate all showcasing his work who's to bet against this guy going from strength to strength.

If you do anything with your time today then check this guy out he is seriously unbelievable you won't be dissapointed.

Hitting the sweet 16 mark we have the ever growing talent of Amos Nelson & Rich Beanland or you may know the guys better as Waifs & Strays.
There is a saying which goes “Opposites Attract” and I think this is very much the case with these two. Amos has almost a decade of House Music experience under his belt playing amongst the best in the business. Rich however is more notorius for cutting his teeth in the world of Jungle, Drum & Bass and Dubstep Producing under his Moniker; Soundbox, Releasing on the massive Boka Records.

But it was a chance meeting on Bristol’s after-party circuit saw this duo’s diverse musical backgrounds brought together to create the effortlessly eclectic and undeniably unique sound of Waifs & Strays.

There now painting their own success with hit after hit since their debut track which 3am which was snapped up by Mr Tolfrey’s Leftroom imprint and was played by the likes of DJ T, Laurent Garnier , dOP & Danny Tenaglia

The follow-up record ‘Yeah Yeah’, gathered significant international support following its debut at the last year’s Detroit Music Conference, smashing dancefloors from Fabric to Watergate. With Heidi calling it ‘the dirtiest house track I have heard in a very long time’ and featuring it on her Radio1 show. It surely is one of the must-have releases of 2011. The success doesn’t stop there, as they have releases on Hot Creations,Futureboogie, Get Physical all lined up for the future.

The mix is nothing short of great delivering upfront house vibes with rolling basslines and heavy hearted percussion throughout, tune in turn up and enjoy.
