These are my top 6 most listened to Electronic/Trance podcasts so far this year:
1. Tiesto's Club Life
Week after week Tiesto's club life provides consistent quality electronic music. The hour long weekly show has a mix of melodic and uplifting trance. I listened to the two part Christmas special several times as it had some of the best songs of 2008 including some from Tiesto's own In Search of Sunrise album.
2. Armin Van Buuren's - A State of Trance
Armin's podcast introduced me to one of my favorite songs of last year, Sunlounger & Zara - Lost (Club Mix Edit). His weekly 20 -25 min podcast provides equally as good quality electronic music as Tiesto and is often a great place to hear Armin's own tracks before they are released.
3. James Vardil's - Monthly Mix
Ex ImAFish founder James 'Yammez' Vardil's monthly funky house mix combines a great mix of new and classic tracks. The podcast goes from strength to strength with February's podcast being the best yet.
4. Above & Beyond's Trance Around the World
The UK's best trance DJ's Trance Around the World podcast provides 2 hours of weekly trance including guest mixes and tracks from upcoming albums. I can see Above and Beyond topping DJ lists in the years to come.
5. Funky House London Style
A monthly house podcast that provides consistent funky house music.
6. Sean Tyas' Podcast
Hot off his recent essential mix, Sean Tyas' podcast is my most recent addition in iTunes. It has a nice trance feel and the tracks are hot and consistent.
It's been a while since I blogged about music but with the Miami Winter Music Festival coming up it seemed like a good time to mention my two favourite trance podcasts. They come from no less than two of the biggest names in trance music and their weekly updates are well worth listening to:
Armin Van Buuren A State of Trance Podcast
Both can be found within iTunes or from the sites above.
I have made the following song in GarageBand
English Mofo (Strong Language)
I have also remixed Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds
"Source Radio has been the starting point for many rising stars but one show has stood out this year for its creative content and unique features. The Monday Night Show with Pete White, Ben Powell and Chris White has been on air since October every Monday night between 6pm and 8pm. The almost famous tag line “Power Pumping Passion” is one the defining points of the show."
We started the show simply out of curiosity for Source Radio and it was an instant hit because of the humour and entertainment we brought to the station. From early on we made an effort to discuss student issues on air where appropriate. In November we debuted our version of on air dating, people would send in profiles and we would read them out on air making the occasional joke. It worked really well and people found it really entertaining and we even matched some people up!
By December we had edited out our best bits and put them on the Internet for others to listen. The feedback we had was great, allowing people who hadn’t been able to listen to the show experience it as well giving our regulars some of the funniest moments again. The editing wasn’t easy and took hours to shift through our previous shows but it was well worth it just for the exposure it gave us.
January came and we wanted to promote the show even more as well as cover more student issues. This is when I came up with the idea to invite the Vice Chancellor Madeline Atkins on the show for an interview. She accepted our invitation and we started to plan questions and features. When we told the rest of the stations members about the VC interview we had planned there was almost a sense of shock but they realised a great opportunity for the station. This VC interview was not the only planned content for the show we also had an exciting new game show. Being a student station we thought we could push the boundaries slightly more than other stations, which is why we thought of “Feed Chris”, each week we would ask Chris three questions and a bonus question, for each question he got right he got a meal on Tuesday. If he got none of the questions right he didn’t get to eat! While of course he never went through with it and the questions were rigged against him it provided a lot of spontaneous entertainment.
Our first Interview that we mocked up was with Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer from 24), being heavy 24 fans and the new series about to start we made a very funny interview with some sound clips from 24, the interview is still available online. We were also fortunate with the help of Bill Bennett to get an interview with Tim Westwood for the show when he was DJing in the SU. Bill got Westwood to “pimp” a toy car as well as asking him about Coventry and the Students, the Westwood interview is also available online. In February our Vice Chancellor interview came round, we spoke for about an hour covering a range of topics including the new student centre, crime on campus and the future of the University. We had some great feedback about the interview from students and staff as well as over 600 downloads for listen again of the show. The show still continues on a Monday Night and has recently played sets from this year’s Trance Energy Festival in Holland. You can listen in between 6-8 on www.sourceradio.co.uk, if you want to listen again to any of the interviews or best bit segments visit www.imafish.co.uk.
