This Week's #FreeLabRadio - Jellica Chip Tunes

An hour of dancey wobble tracks made using cold computers and consoles by Jellica, with that demo-scene style that defines this kind of chip-tune music. A peer of artist Chris Weaver's since the mid 90s, Jellica joined a C64 demo group and started making C64 music that can only be played back on modified hardware that he doesn’t even own. Such scene. Picture Raquel Meyers - made using an old Commodore64.

Free Lab Radio Podcast - Remember Me

Free Lab Radio - Remember Me by Fari B

This week's Free Lab celebrates songs worth learning the lyrics too, if you don't know them already. From great lyrics by the masters, to tunes many of us had on cassette as kids.

This Week's #FreeLabRadio - Guest DJ Nuff Ced

This Saturday night, an exclusive mix by Cedric 'Nuff Ced' of Dubai DJ crew 'Deep Crates Cartel' - crate-diggers from all around the world who dedicate themselves to an alternative music scene in Dubai. 11- midnight GMT across London on 104.4FM or via the RadioPlayer.

MEANWHILE DON'T FORGET it's the RESONANCEFM AUCTION still... artworks, experiences and collectables all up for grabs at ridiculously low prices, and for a great cause - arts-music station Resonance104.4FM broadcasts on air due to a huge amount of fundraising, and all programme makers are volunteers.

Cedric  "Nuff Ced" a Parisian record collector and selector with Dubai DJ crew Deep Crates Cartel. Deep Crates gather crate-diggers from the world over as far afield as Lebanon, Spain, UK, Poland, Egypt and so on, who share the same mindset and quest for rare groove. DCC dedicated themselves to provide what they felt was missing in Dubai, an alternative to the mainstream & commercial music scene. 

"We clearly have a common vibe, yet with each his own specialities, one is a wicked reggae selector, another a highly-skilled turntablist... I'm into soul jazz funk, with a soft spot for Brazilian music and have been accumulating records and musical knowledge for more than 20 years now. A true consuming passion that I'm always glad to share.

So, at your request, I put together a little musical journey crossing borders and pushing boundaries.

You'll hear some Turkish, Indian, Ethiopian, Lebanese, Indonesian, Swedish stuff and a few 60s-70s american soul and jazz avant-garde."

Free Lab Radio This Week: Guest Producer IsaGT (#2)

There are many ways to be an eccentric. Previous Free Lab Radio guest DJ, IsaGT is continually exploring this sacred arena of freedoms and flexing her creative muscles. Her slightly off vocals, raw features, her vibrant and varied style all speak of GT's Colombian background, East London’s electronic music scene and her influences such as Cumbia, house, Baltimore, Champeta, Baile funk, Kuduro.

For the 2nd time singer and producer IsaGT guest DJs on Free Lab Radio. Bringing together tracks which act as windows to different places - cities, the club, travels and distant locales - IsaGT's Columbian roots and base in London come to the fore in this mix.

Isa considers her work Latin music. In this capacity she has performed guest vocals for and co-production with musicians such as: Toy Selectah, Joao Brasil, Dutch Rhythm Combo, Crookers and toured with M.I.A. several festivals shows. However there's an experimental side to her work that defies genre and allows her to straddle the whatever cliches it is we expect of Latin as a genre, and music that boldly starts out by being free of all expectation. 

Her website states:
With a large audience open to Latin music (and growing) but only a small number of labels and outlets available to put out this new generation of Latin music, Isa started her own label- Etoro. One year in Isa has released her own 5-track ep, alongside 6 other releases of original music and remixes in the form of a compilation and Eps by three Latin American artists.

Isa continues connecting with new forms of Latin music released on Etoro label, and collaborates on radio playlists regularly as a presenter on Pulse radio, and occasionally as a guest on Monocle, and the BBC.
 Broadcasts Saturday 7th February 2015, repeats Thursday 2am on 104.4FM, listen on air in London, on the radio player online.
