Bside Incoming: Ruben Spa

Bside Incoming: Ruben Spa Reflecting on Episode 100 with the incredible Detroit In Effect, we just wanted to thank all the people that tune into Bside Podcasts, to everyone who reaches out to us with positive feedback, and of course to all the fabulous guests who take the time to share with us their life’s work of collecting, curating, and sharing all the beautiful music in the world. Without wanting to sit back and admire this landmark, we move on from number 100 with an international superstar to Episode 101 with someone very close to our heart and an integral member of the Bside team: Ruben Spa With a big love of music, his graphic design skills, and some social media wizardry, his creativity and passion continues to drive the project forward. Ruben Spa continues to build upon his invaluable knowledge of the industry with his involvement at the Surefire agency. He also runs the Koselig event series in Edinburgh, who booked Hidden Spheres for an evening of mid-week madness at Sneaky Pete’s, before which we recorded an incredible live episode of the podcast. It was actually his co-founder of Koselig, James Cook, who recorded the very first episode for the Bside podcast. Over 2 years have passed since then, and the platform has grown substantially: 99 other guests and more than 60,000 listens from all over the world, and lots more in the works. So, it felt only right that our beloved Ruben Spa, should welcome us into the second century of Bside. Expect jazzy keys, horns, and chord progressions over house, hip-hop and broken beats, moving through beautifully layered techno and IDM Here’s to many more! Thanks to Molly Hickey for the beautiful artwork as always. www.instagram.com/mollyth.art/ Follow the Bside Instagram for updates/news/vinyl and general music chat: www.instagram.com/bsidepodcasts/

Om Podcasten

Bside podcasts DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records. We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side: a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors. An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between. Music is for sharing. 'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
