Latest show was a good one! There's a few from the recent Sub Focus album as I've been cranking that in my car for the last week. The stream is in two parts as the server was giving me trouble so I had to switch. Let me know what you think!

The 128k MP3s are held in the NSB archive folder here.

A quick word on the sound quality of these NSB radio show downloads. The stream is broadcast & recorded at 128kbps. CD quality is about 320kbps. The low bitrate makes it easier to listen to LIVE over the net & makes the files quicker to download. And the tunes still pump when you turn 'em up!

Each show is about 2 hrs duration & around 100mb so it shouldn't take too long to grab. I usually burn an MP3 disc & listen in my car/work computer, or you can bang it on your ipod.

Not everyone can listen to NSB live online so these MP3s are a good way to check out the tunes we play! Enjoy!

Another show here that I was pretty happy with. Some fresh tunes always make for some interesting mixing. A coupla oldies in there also. I recommend!

4 Tempos in 1 Day

2009-05-08T14:47:00.005+08:00

For this show I worked out a varied mix of 4/4 tech, into some dubstep rhythm, a slice of liquid DnB, then into some familiar breakbeat flavours, with a classic track at the end. Hope you download & enjoy!

In June & July, I'll be on NSB weekly, so hopefully will have a few guest mixes lined up to spice things up.

Offending link removed

2008-10-24T09:36:00.007+08:00

Blogger was forced to remove the link to this set due to copyright infringment. Out of the hundreds of thousands of mixes floating around the net, this one was targeted for some reason...

I would have thought a 96k radio mix promoting niche genres of artists & labels with me talking rubbish over the top wouldn't offend anyone.

I was obviously wrong. Enjoy it if you grabbed it!
