Sub Level Sessions Resumes Normal Service

Unlike the Royal Mail, the Sub Level Sessions returns this academic year to resume normal service, after a 3 month hiatus taking in the likes of Sonar Festival, Wild in the Country, Exit Festival, various Richie Hawtin gigs, a dissertation and the annual visit to the white isle. The summer has been good, apart from the dissertation writing part, that was just stressful whilst i sat inside and typed, people across the country were having fun at Nottinghill Carnival, SW4 and TDK Cross Central. But apart from that minor blip in august it has been fun.

Anyways, we leave the blustery three months of summer to go head on into another season full of errr... rain, storms, wind, cold and the possible occurrence of snow.... Not to worry! The Sub Level Sessions is back once again for its third and possibly last outing on the "ricketty but not without character" URF Radio.

Its all change this year, the once amateur side kick Luke Simpson takes charge and will now present the show. Whilst the old, tired master? (fool more likely) Chris Wan retires to the bench to supply the online community with the occasional podcast and CD/Event reviews. You can expect from this new audio/visual/textual/online/offline/radiowaved orgy of a two pronged attack the regular plethora of fine guest mixes, new tunes and regular pondering's. All ready in the pipeline is an interview and guest mix from James Murphy & Pat Mahoney, known to most as LCD Soundsystem. They're on the show to promote their newly released FabricLive 37 a disco soul funk rare groove medley which has been making me happy in my car. We've got loads of stuff coming from the Warehouse Project in Manchester such as a massive ticket giveaway to help them kick off another season of humongous rave type affairs. Guest mixes from Sasha and James Zabiela lined up already, as well as possibly one from Italian minimal techno stalwart Marco Carola!! There will be more added as the term goes on, but for now you need to know when we're on.

From the 19th October the Sub Level Sessions will be broadcast Every Friday 8-9pm. You'll be able to catch it at www.urfonline.com with listen again capabilities, or you can catch it on wireless around Brighton if you dial into 1431AM.
