Aloha!

Right, I didn’t plan on this Episode of Lowering The Tone being the Xmas show, Im just so late with it, that is just how it’s panned out :-)

It's not a bad one even if I say so myself.

This time round I have a very good friend of mine Kristian Townsend (Dubspeeka, Ways & Means, Akasha FX) over for a loose conversation, we ended up having a bit of a big night before, and I was really feeling it the day after, much to Kristian's amusement, as you will hear.

The conversation touches upon everything from Kristian’s upbringing & living out a bus, to running a high influential record label, to the current success of his Dub Techno project Dubspeeka (along with Darren Beale from Kosheen).

I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Kris, I hope that comes across in this 2hr show.

Musicwise, I pretty much kick the sh*t out of it from start to finish :-)

As always, if you would like to help out and show your support, please just share the link, rate & review if you listen via iTunes, and if you enjoy it please take a moment and make a comment, It means a lot to get some feedback.

I hope you enjoy it.

Meat Katie 'Lowering The Tone’ Podcast - Episode 23

(Exclusive Classic Breakbeat & Tech-Funk Mix)

 
  This episode I decided to do something slightly different, due to the overwhelming response to the recent Old Skool Breaks set I played in Budapest which is posted as a live MP4 from the Breakbeat Massive event @ Frame on youtube, I have re-recorded the set as close as I could, I have also added a few other tracks that I didn’t get chance to play that night, so now it can be accessed as a full download for your listening pleasure.   As always if you enjoy the show (‘set' in this case) please hit the share button and spread the word, that is how you can support the podcast.      I hope you enjoy, have a great easter everyone.   x   Mark

Meat Katie ‘Lowering The Tone’ Episode 21 (Damon Pages Oliver (OLY) CEO of Blazing Swan) 

Many apologies for the delay in getting this episode to you. My hombre, Ben Coda has been holding the fort down in fine style while I have been getting my shit together!

I’m pleased to say it’s finally ready and as always will be exclusive to our Patron’s at https://www.patreon.com/loweringthetone, for two weeks ( for $1 which includes instant access to the track listing). Then on August 8th, it will be free via: iTunes, Soundcloud, Mixcloud & Podbean. 
The $1 really helps us keep the show afloat and most importantly- advert free... so we really appreciate the help. 

Ok. This episode (music-wise) as always, expect a trip into the underground. This time round I belt it out in the mix, mainly because I have had the pleasure of playing some really kicking festivals this summer and it’s simply where my head was while putting this show together!

For the interview, I had the opportunity to grab Damon Pages Oliver- Who is better known to his friends as Oly. He is the CEO of Blazing Swan; an event held in Western Australia every April, which I was lucky enough to perform at earlier this year. Oly gives us a fascinating insight into the inner workings of Blazing Swan, how it came about and the future... and what makes this event so special!

Oly is a proper character and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him. I’m at the stage now with the show, where it’s nice to be able to take a look at the bigger picture when it comes to alternative culture and chat with people on the other side of the fence.

I hope you enjoy the show, please share the link if you do! 

Mark

On a little side note many thanks to all the Alliance crew who made my whole Australian trip so awesome and also made this Episode possible, Big love to all of you, I hope I didn’t miss anyone out on the shouts! (Blame Kymbo if I did

Im pleased to give you Episode 18 of the Lowering The Tone podcast. 

This time round I had the pleasure to sit down with Ant Wilson Aka 'Chicago Loop' and have an in-depth chat about starting your career again from scratch, life after the London Acid Techno scene and naming himself after a ring road in America.

As I have mentioned before these are not so much of an interview more of just a laid back conversation that veers off in all directions, thats is the charm though IMO, listening back to this one I think it will appeal to DJ’s who wish (and do) travel because Ant is a well seasoned DJ who has some great stories of his on the road experiences around the globe, I found his story petty inspiring I hope you do to.

As you should expect by now I explore many genres mix wise but keeping it Techy based. As promised in the show I will bring back the ‘Deeper Selection’ next episode.

So if you enjoy the show could I please ask you to share the link, Re-tweet, Re-post, Like, Comment, Rate & Review  … you get the idea!

I hope you like it, talk soon
