As we excitedly await his debut appearance with us this Friday in Leeds, Rekids long term family member Toby Tobias has very kindly supplied us with our newest podcast edition!

The mix that he has provided is just how we like our BSU podcasts to be. Its a real mix of Toby's influences, from old to current and is guaranteed to take you on a journey through the mind of a real record collector and selector. Its over 2 hours long, so make a cup of tea, wrap up and enjoy!

We guarantee this mix to well and truly warm you up on this cold winter period and get you ready to party all over again this weekend! In true Butter Side Up style..expect the unexpected!

For our next installment of the podcast series we introduce one of our favourite artists that we had the pleasure of witnessing on our travels during the summer!

After catching his mesmerizing warm up for Prins Thomas in the Balearic scenery of Hideout festival, it seemed only necessary that we introduce you to The Sonic Emporium. Emerging from a melting pot of all the things that are wonderful when it comes to music and clubbing alike, Simon Stuart’s musical guise delivers a distinctly unique blend of DJ’ing & production into some of the freshest house & techno this fine planet has to offer. All in all, this mix will have you experiencing a musical menagerie like no other. We wish you all happy listening on this one; it is certainly a right little treat!

For our 17th episode in the series we bring you a mysterious entity known as Ajukaja. This is the complex alias of Tallinn based multi-talented Raul Saaremets. This relatively new project focuses on underground electronic music, which in the last twenty years has been the centrifuge of his existence. Depending who's listening, Ajukaja's style encapsulates dark, captivating melodies spliced with the kind of quirkiness for which he is starting to become renowned for. As a true technology freak his passion remains to create and modify different instruments and come out with something that can only be described as otherworldly. This mix is nothing short of brilliant, blending extraordinary electronica with the finest deep house cuts of the last few years. A real aural pleasure!

With releases on Red Rack'em's new Smuggles Inn label and a remix for his Hot Coins disco alias the future is looking bright for this cat, we look forward to witnessing what he has to offer!

It gives us great pleasure to introduce a brand new BSU resident to the masses and what better way to do it than with a sublime mixture of the best vinyl cuts! We would like to welcome a DJ of true quality and a serious connoisseur of house and techno music to the Butter Side Up stable…Ciaran Hansen.

Here at BSU HQ we have long been admirers of Ciaran and his diverse approach to electronic music, he is also probably the biggest vinyl junkie that we have ever come into contact with; the man is obsessed..seriously! Gaining respect all over the UK with his unique blend of vintage house and intelligent techno licks, as well as being one of the ever dependable faces behind the Underlying Form collective, Ciaran never fails when it comes to drawing for those quintessential rarities that only the truest music head would ever be able to hunt down. A true purveyor of what we are all about, quality beats, vibes and a never ending desire to throw a proper party!
