May The Beats Be With You!

There’s some shocking mixing, but some immense tunage.. hope you enjoy!

Allright, we’ve got a special treat for you guys.

This Wednesday, Live from San Francisco, we have Janaka Selekta.

Born in Asia, raised in Europe and the Middle East, and currently residing in the United States, Janaka Selekta is a rising talent on the global music scene. Under the moniker Janaka Selekta, he writes, produces and DJs music that brings together the classical, folk and roots styling of South Asia, Arabia, Jamaica & Africa with the cutting edge sounds of hard hitting electronica. His full throttle live sets have earned him the respect of listeners and dancers alike and his solo album Pushing Air continues to garner the praise of critics around the world.

Janaka regularly appears on the play lists of a number of BBC Radio shows as well as radio stations across the States, Europe and Asia. A recent feature article in Rolling Stone India highlights Janaka’s album and multi-city tour. His album has also appeared in the Top 5 Album picks by BBC Radio’s Bobby Friction.  He continues to take his music out to club nights and festivals throughout the year both showcasing his skills as a veteran vinyl DJ, onstage dubber and live performer.

So remember, 22:00 GMT (14:00 PST / 12:00 CST), this Wednesday. Be there and join in the chat!

(Update: Here is a pic live from the studio right now! Mad props to Janaka for making this happen for us! -hax (the freak in the background))

So much so that I’m just going to lob the 3 hour session link at you and let you decide for yourselves.
Do not let the house-esque intro fool you..

Track listing to be added soon.

His incredible deck talents involve fusing funk, hip-hop and breaks with his unique style of scratching and mixing, whilst his reputation as a true party rocker has won him prime-time slots across the UK at FabricLive, Spectrum, Chew The Fat, Supercharged, The Boutique and Sugarbeat as well as gigs around the world at major events, festivals and music industry parties such as The Hit Factory (New York), WMC (Miami) and Field Day (Sydney). Ladies and gentlemen…. this is A.Skillz.

Joining A.Skillz for this festive funk session is Finger Lickin artist/dj and pro snowboarder – Scott Nixon

Nixon’s been mixing since before he first stood on a snowboard over 20 years ago. Being a pro-rider on the European snowboard scene for over 15 years opened up a huge freesport audience to his mixing talents and he’s been a regular at massive surf & snowboard events for years.
Scott is now billed as the UK’s only pro-DJ/music producer and professional snowboarder.
With his collaboration with Shimon continuing and Nixon set to release a string of his own tunes, Nixon is set to shake up the scene with his special blend.

This very special final festive Carry On will cater for all types of musical tastes….from hip-hop, funk and soul to breaks, electro and techno, through to dubstep and d’n'b!!

Their unique expolsive funky sets, combining decks & fx make them stand out amongst the rest.

The DTs are joined on this event by breakbeat, electro, fidget wonderkid Peo De Pitte, whose recent remixes have gained him massive support right across board, from Herve, Fake Blood, Plump Djs, stanton Warriors, Meat Katie & Kissy Sell Out.

Liz McMullan from CarryOn hosted the interview and covered areas such as the origins of NAPT, past experiences, studio atmosphere, inspirations and what’s in store for us in the future along with much more.
The guys were fantastic and really went into detail what goes on in their corner of the breaks world.

They have recently stated that the service is back to normal and stable now although we are still showing no bandwidth usage on our switch (even though there is).

Please accept our apologies, we will try to make it up to you in the form of some evil evil sick-ass basslines.

After a catastrophic power supply failure, one of the HD’s also failed (yes, again). The PSU is sorted and a new HD will be installed later today.

We should be back up and live by tonight.

In the meanwhile, the stream will be unaffected but will only play archives.

Regards,
Squeeb

We have had a great year here at Carry On. We have had fantastic guests from all sides of the breakbeat spectrum come and play for us to a great bunch of people each month.

Would you believe we are now approaching our first birthday! Having stormed into the Manchester clubscene in Sept ‘08 with continually groundbreaking, world class line-up’s as we welcomed guests such as THE GROOVE DIGGERZ, KOMA & BONES, THE ROGUE ELEMENT and RICO TUBBS in our first few months.

We then rocked up to the new year in style with a huge sell out gig at Scubar featuring VANDAL and greeted 2009 with a fantastic and unique night of local talent and live music and pretty much carried on with what we started in 2008: bringing you unique, groundbreaking, world- class artists month after month and always throwing one hell of a party.

Highlights of 2009 have included a fantastic LIVE band set from Alphadrive, a February crunkathon with The BODYSNATCHERS- 30Hz and BAOBINGA and of course the unforgettable PRODIGY AFTERPARTY. Also the amazing sell out evening with MR KRAFTY KUTS and our night of tech- funk madness with ELITE FORCE. No wonder then, with these sorts of accolades, we were asked to represent the Manchester Underground Club scene at The Manchester International Festival in July.

Now as our first birthday beckons there’s no holding back. After what was nothing less than an astounding set from Fiinger Lickin’ Records founder SOUL OF MAN last month (nothing but good vibrations all round!) the time has come to celebrate this landmark first birthday with characteristic flare, fun and good humour…….. and so without further ado, we welcome you to our first birthday party! Come and celebrate in style, no holding back, out and out hedonistic revelry! Like the year just gone, it’s gonna be one hell of a night!! We are gonna party like it’s 1999!!!

So to celebrate our 1st birthday in Carry on style, we are having a fancy dress party. The theme…you guessed it- Carry On Films. Come dressed as a soldier, sailor, nurse, doctor, cowboy, teacher, camper or even a camel!!

This is going to be one funky friday!

I’ve finally mooched out from under the gigs and gigs of raw audio gathered from the July 10th event at The Ruby Lounge.

There are a couple of technical glitches with the mix which can’t be helped although it’s 90% perfect.
Included as a separate download is the live interview we had with Rennie before he performed.
Even more breaksy goodness: Live sets from Steve Thorpe and Resistance from the night.

Enjoy!

Early Saturday morning, Manchester’s finest Knob Jockeys appeared in the booth, clad with safety goggles and white coats.

What was to follow was a whole metric hour of mayhem and mashups.

A rare audio event captured on tape for you all to hear.

Enjoy!

The godfather of breaks makes his debut appearence at Carry On.

Having played Manchester many times for Tangled, it gives us great pleasure to welcome Rennie Pilgrem to The Ruby Lounge.

From early rave to nuskool breaks TCR records head honcho Rennie, has continually moved forward with the breakbeat sound, forever exploring new beats and rhythms, making him a leading pioneer of electronic dance music.

The Knob Jockeys.

Knob Jockeys are three digital djs from Manchester, using Abelton live to mix breaks, electro, jungle, hip hop, pop, fidget, baltimore, baille funk and pure genius into a blende that you’ll have no choice than to get down to.

After rocking NYE at Scubar, smashing it at Easter these guys are sure to set the dancefloor on fire!
