Decomposed Radio Podcast

Welcome to Decomposed Radio show 909.... I mean 99! As the climbing and techno scenes continue to expand, merge and dissolve into one another, we're featuring another dedicated exponent of both lifestyles.... Slam Dunc aka Duncan Campbell. After years of enjoying the music from the dancefloor, he's pitched headfirst into his DJ destiny and along with Decomposed favourite Flostate and Matt Bateman...

You're tuned in to a very special instalment of Decomposed Radio! For show 098 we're celebrating 3 righteous endeavors that are really close to my heart : filmmaking, climbing and of course music.... and the unbreakable link between them all! On a couple of previous shows we've celebrated the music featured in two classic climbing films.... "Hard Grit" and "The Real Thing." However I was lucky eno...

You're back in the zone with Decomposed Radio! It's only been 2 weeks since we featured DJ Galup's phenomenal set from the Works Party afters back in December last year, but the psyche is high and we're charging forth, this time with my own set from the main room at Network in Sheffield. Occurring some time between the hours of 4am and 6am (to be honest its all a bit of a blur) it's an absolute pr...

Welcome back to Decomposed Radio! For Show 096 We're rewinding back to December last year and revisiting the amazing "Works Party." This was it's 18th year and despite a brief interruption from something called "Covid" I'm happy and proud to say it's back up to full strength. Complete with underground afterparty, a phase 3, and maybe even a phase 4 if you know where to look! If you know you know a...

Decomposed Radio is right back at ya! Apologies for the radio silence lately. We've been having a few technical problems that are hopefully all sorted now, so we're gonna crack straight on with show 095! Up this time is Manchester based Rosie Glow, who's unique sets I've been lucky enough to enjoy at some ace events over the last year or so, and the super deep techno set that she's recorded for th...

Welcome to Decomposed Radio 093. Here at Techno Towers, we're still reeling from the amazing "galloWay fEST" up in the Scottish Borders which  was an incredible display of the talent and creativity that we're lucky enough to be surrounded by, which was the original inspiration to creating the podcast, to give it all a platform. With that in mind welcome another new artist to the Decomposed Radio R...

You're back with Decomposed Radio! For show 92 we're heading back to 1992, and the release date of one of my favourite albums... "Experience" by the Prodigy. It's high time to flip the cassette and check out side 2 of "Sam's Piano Tape" that I know alot of people have been waiting for. We've had some incredible feedback and psyche from Side 1 on Show 91 and it seems everyone's really enjoyed turni...

For Decomposed Radio show 091 we're rewinding back to the early 90's. The dole and Stoney Dale scene of the 80's has given way to bolts in Chee Dale and sport climbing trips to Buoux or Ceuse, whilst the gritstone lies asleep, waiting for the release of Hard Grit a few years later to re-awaken the psyche. Bouldering is in it's infancy, and nobody has even heard of a crash pad, however...... there...

Decomposed Radio show 090 (or should it be 909 ;) ) is LIVE! Featuring a live improvised techno set from "Alkis" it's one for the techno connoisseurs, and not for the faint hearted!  With a background in electronics Alkis is right at home with analogue synths and beats, and specialises in hypnotic melodies, abrasive acid sounds and spacey synthtic rhythms, all created on a pure hardwear setup. Eve...

For Decomposed Radio 087 it's time to welcome another talented new artist to the roster... "Flostate" Currently residing in the steel city, Flostate learned and developed her DJ craft in the constantly emerging techno hotspot of North Wales, and hasn't looked back since. Heavily influenced by artists such as Dr. Rubenstein, but with her unique brand Acid Techno that she loves and is super passiona...

With everyone still reeling from Steve Worth's epic sonic expedition on show 085, it seemed only right to come up for air for a bit before heading back under for the next dose. Sure enough, for show 086, we've got another smasher! Elliot Shiel is rapidly becoming a name to watch and listen out for if you're a techno connoisseur, which we all are.... After being inspired to dive into DJing whilst s...

Welcome again to Decomposed Radio... The name Steve Worth will be very familiar to regular listeners of the show, having already provided us with a mega mix of tech house and techno back in the early days, for show 023! So I'm very happy to say he's back again, and this time hasn't just stepped it up, but more like smashed it right out of the park with an outrageous indulgent mix of mammoth propor...

Welcome at long last, to Decomposed Radio season 2!

I'm gonna aim for at least one show per month, and get well over the hundred show mark. So we're glad to have you with us in 2023! Let's 'ave it! The futu...

Welcome back to lockdown with Decomposed Radio! Once upon a time in Sheffield, 2 Spanish climbers came to visit and get amongst the unique scene that a lot of us know and love so well. They became affectionately know as "Spanish Number One" and "Spanish Number Two" and stayed for a year or two having a great time enjoying both climbing and epic techno nights! Even after their return to Spain, they...

Welcome again to Decomposed Radio! Sad times this weekend, for what would have been this years "Works Party" here in Sheffield. What I wouldn't give at the moment to be catching up with everyone on a dark sweaty dancefloor, and going off to some waddage techno! But things are what they are right now, and we'll just have to bottle up all that psyche, and smash it beyond all the realms this time nex...

WE ARE OFFICIALLY BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!! 1,000 apologies for the big break, but with all the corona-carnage things just got a bit hectic, as well as not necessarily having a lot of new music to put out. So we've had a break, recharged the batteries, and now we're back in force! We've got some great shows lined up, featuring both Decomposed Radio favourites, and also some new names that you might...

Recorded in the Rave Cave at Code Nightclub in Sheffield back in December 2019,...

You're locked back in with Decomposed Radio for another high quality techno fix. We still have a couple of wild sets from the infamous "Works Party" back in December to share with you, but for show 076, we're focusing on some up and coming new talent as per one of the Decomposed Radio mission briefs.

You're back with Decomposed Radio, and show number 075. As promised, we're rewinding again to Code Nightclub in early December 2019 for the outrageously good Climbing Works party. We've got quite a few of the sets recorded which is ace, so this time round we have my own set from the night, which closed out phase I of the party, and kicked off around 4.30am I think. I really can't stress enough wha...
