Alex Traska Soundboard Edit

A load of RX DJs have clubbed together to sort of organise a Twitch raid train. So you tune into one DJ and at the end that you're automatically dumped into the next DJs channel and you just carry ...

Amazingly intelligent, amazingly popular, good looking guy with a good job.

And he used to work on music festivals all over the world. He used to shoot for DJ magazine. Lots of the cover shots were were by David Bowen. I ended up living with him actually, for a brief period.

And I always said, you know I'll do the design and we'll help push it online. But I don't. Any money that you make, if it's your event, you keep, you know, you've got complete creative control. It ...

And it meant that I got to kind of meet the people behind the scenes running it, and not least the mighty James Bailey, legendary promoter of Venus nightclub in Nottingham.

And that's that's so great, like the legacy of my assurance that people wanted to continue that badly, that they've just come and organised that.

And then, you know, I've there's the Boho Festival in Nottingham, which is a small boutique festival run by the Perkins Brothers and their pop up parties. I'm going to be involved in a couple of ev...

And we always said Eric and I are day one. And this rang true all the way through to the end 19 years later, we said we will never charge anybody to listen to it and we'll never charge anybody to D...

Bunch a tight knit bunch of brilliant people around nights like soul bugging. You know Beanie was part of the station for 19 years. Basement Boogaloo deserve a shout. Ed Cotton had a show on my ass...

But I think that really the point at which that changed into being something more reflective of the kind of things I like now was.

But Sean was kind of the daddy of that. And Sean's loss as well was that hit us really hard. And that happened just as we were organising a mental health fundraiser. And that's exactly that fundrai...

But the fact is that my house, your house, was a collective, and it had these passionate, willing people all over the country that finally had a flag to fly that unified us all.

Craig Richards and Lee Bridge doing a legendary Tyrant night. People from Detroit, Kevin Saunders and Chicago House, DJs Derek Carter and so on. So I was drawn to it like I'm off to A-frame.

Hanging out with friends that I'd met there in the music scene in Nottingham and then hanging out back at their houses. We've been dancing to Tech House, but back in their lounge they were putting on.

I gravitated to it because I already was into house music, the type of house music that you couldn't buy on compilation CDs and HMV very well.

I had never heard music like that and my mind was when I heard it was creating soundscapes and then filling them with objects that were dictated by the music that I was hearing.

I mean very tragically. The person that introduced Eric Anderson and I in the 1st place was a a chap called David Bowen who was a photographer.

I mean, a legendary venue is still taught about regularly. People have so many hazy memories of it to share all.

I used to go there alone when I was in college because lots of my friends weren't into that music. But the The Bomb was a real community. It was a tribe. It was the kind of place you'd be alone for...

I was a functional cog in the middle of it. But I don't for a minute labour under the misapprehension that it was all my work. You know it. It certainly wasn't.

That could make bad situations already worse. Impostor Syndrome is something that I've struggled with myself in my creative background. You know, I've worked as a designer and creative agencies. Am...

The only negative of that is of course it meant that there was never any money, so we couldn't do any big promotions or massive spectacular events. It was all kind of cobbled together.

The stigma of talking about it and I and I feel like that's disappearing. But as mentioned about Eric earlier, he never mentioned a word of it.

Very early 90s and was the first home of DIY who later followed him to the bomb and he was extremely well connected and it meant that after work, you know, once I cleaned up the bar I was hanging o...

We were eight years old and we drove to the South of France on holiday and my dad had just bought the Orb album and he put it on the tape and all the way from Nottingham to the South of France and ...
