Ep. 20 Calum Archibald (Bside)

Happy 1st Birthday Bside! We cant believe it's already been a whole year. And what a year it's been. We have brought you 25 fortnightly shows, releasing some of the finest Bsides from selectors near (Edinburgh and Glasgow) and far (Dublin, London, Naples, Berlin, Lyon, and NYC). It’s been a great privilege to host some of our biggest inspirations including Glenn Astro, Gnork, Hidden Spheres, Waxist, and Bobby Analog onto the Bside airwaves, and a pleasure to showcase the music to you lot. It is safe to say we are really grateful for all the support and anyone who has come along and listened to the mixes live, or streamed it online. To celebrate such an occasion Bside's boss man, Calum Archibald, delves deep into his collection and extracts some of his personal favourites from the flip side. If you’ve seen him spinning records with Samedia Shebeen, the EDL (Edinburgh Disco Lovers), or Disco Makossa, or even warming up for the likes of O’flynn, Marshal Jefferson, and Aroop Roy then you know what to expect: Disco, Soul, Jazz from across the globe, some soothing house rhythms and of course a selection of floaty electro and breakbeat. We’ve got some exciting things planned going forward, not least our new home at House of Gods, bring on year two! And, as always… Enjoy! Shout out to our Molly Hickey for providing the artwork, we are ever grateful.

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'.
