Local Hero: Simon Bryan - 'Intersect'

I have to say, starting off in 2011 I've never felt so excited about Glasgow producers and local music, there's just so much quality going about from such a broad spectrum of genre's. This week Synth returned to Subcity Radio for our first show of 2011, and hearing these tracks from local producers next to music from around the world just felt really right, this is definitely an exciting time for G-Town!

LOCAL HERO:

So without further a do, this week's Local Hero award goes to Simon Bryan for his new track 'Intersect'. A grooving, minimalistic roller which captivates from the off, this is finely crafted techno for the more sophisticated dancefloors. Revolving around a simple hook, you'll find yourself hypnotised by its quite soothing charms. For more like this check out Simon's show, Beat Beneath on Subcity Radio every Wednesday at 7pm (straight after us actually).

We continue in the techier corner of the dancefloor next with a new mix from Dersonna on fellow Glasgow producers Worx. As we've come to expect from Dersonna, this is sheer quality Techno designed to get your pulse racing and your body sweating. With driving energy, a menacing bassline and a vocal sample which beckons you deeper into the song's fiery core this will undoubtedly leave you dazed and begging for more. Pick it up 26th of January on Mu.Too Records.

Ok, I think it's time we put the spotlight on this fantastic and exclusive Donnell Jones edit Slow It Down gave us for their feature earlier this week. Focusing on that utterly smooth and irresistible bassline, we find ourselves engrossed by a groove which has that classic RnB flavour. Only when a beat is so lovingly refined do we recognise its true genius and that's what Slow It Down specialise in.

Finally, we're loving Mia Dora so much right now we thought we'd feature the other side of that 'Random Romantics' cut that’s going about at the moment, and to be quite honest, its just as big. 'Baby I'm Bored' harmonises a heavily vocodered vocal sample over tribal drums and a deepening bassline, creating a sense of quite dramatic tension throughout. Future Dubstep for an apocalyptic wasteland.
