This month Hold Tight is proud to host an exclusive guest mix from These Days Records supremo Alexander Ross. These Days is a Berlin label creating a lot of heat right now, with a string of quality releases under their belts- not least from Brooklyn house prodigies The Martinez Brothers and label co-owner Argy.
The Sheffield-born Ross, now living in Berlin, is also a talented producer and remixer in his own right, having dropped his own brand of deep dubby, percussive house on both These Days and Deeply Rooted House offshoot, Future Roots. With DJ support for his tracks from the likes of Carl Craig, Josh Wink, Laurent Garnier and Loco Dice, it's fair to say he's one to watch.
Ross had blessed us with a rather a lovely ambient mix, which will kick off the show, followed by davey and parrot taking over with tons of new and old gems unearthed since the last broadcast. This is the first of a string of guest mixes for Hold Tight Radio, so keep it locked in the coming months!
Broadcast will be at 8pm CET on Loud FM this Sunday 11th, and available for download in the days following… Or if you are in the area- pop in to Hold Tight HQ at the T Room and join us in the "studio"!
Welcome to Hold Tight Radio 2.0. After 17 monthly shows from my front room, we are undergoing a little reboot here at HTR HQ. Some much needed fresh blood will be joining me at the helm- welcome Simon "parrot" Parrot. Simon will be co-hosting the show with me, and has kindly offered the use of his lovely T Room , here in the heart of prenzle-berg, Berlin, as the new studio...
Which to you, the listener, basically means we'll both be feeling highly refreshed by tip-top brewage, and thus able to bring you more of the quality radio you deserve. Look out for some pretty stellar guest mixes in the coming months. We shit you not.
So, hold tight from 8pm CET this Sunday (13th September) at Loud FM for a choice selection from across the musical smorgasbord. Don't forget that if you miss the broadcast, you can pick up the show as a podcast - just click here... subscribe to the HOLD TIGHT RADIO in iTunes
