The first Freakin podcast of 2012 is an exclusive mix from Manchester's Miguel Manzano.

In his own words:

"Miguel Manzano AKA The Lowrida AKA The Hammer AKA Rassputen AKA Klaus Koppner AKA Bell End.

The man with many names has had many residencies in Manchester and has played all over Europe. Starting from an early age, his older brother showed him the ropes on the SL-1200's with loads of 80's Soul, hip hop, disco and funk breaks stuff. Also in the mix came the late 80's hip-house revolution and all the first Chicago Traxx & DJ International gear, the NY garage was also in the mix of course.

Not content with bedroom mixing, he started his own garage parties with his school mates, mainly to get smashed and play spin the bottle... But the music was always at the forefront, religiously listening in on the radio shows that were pushing weird new UK & US street sounds.

"Leaky Fresh and 808 State on Sunset 102, and Stu Allen on 103, were really pushing US and UK underground stuff. Break Dancing, Skate Boarding, Graff, NWA, Todd Terry, Carl Cox, Sasha & Nipper were all massive in the early year. I was well into it all, but then I went all dark with the Tech Step and Hardcore shit. That was when I started going to raves and that. I think that's why some of the darkness comes through in my music today, but it's only in parts now and I always roll out of it back into a groove, don't want people going under do we! It's always gotta have an element of something soulful or funk driven, even if it's a crazy drugged out acid track, it's got to have a groove and swing to it. even if it's an industrial techno record it has to have some funk and movement."

With this mix I decided to take it on a deep Berlinesque vibe. I just made that word up by the way/ "

Tracklist:

01. Radiohead - Little By Little (Caribou RMX)
02. Burnski - The Poet
03. Martin Bellomo - 8am
04. Espen Lauritzen - Hus (Mathias Woot interpretation)

We are pleased to present a superb exclusive mix from acid house northerner Craig Bratley. Get locked into this groove!!!

From his RA biog:

Music usually enters musicians’ lives in a number of ways. They are usually nurtured by a musical family, exposed to music from an early age through their parent’s love of music, or music finds them. Craig Bratley definitely falls into the latter category. Whilst most of his peers were raised on their parent’s collection of soul, funk and disco records, Craig’s upbringing was more Barry Manilow than Barry White…

Craig’s first introduction to electronic music was 80's electro, a few years later he discovered acid house.
A passion for this music led to Craig DJ’ing and then moving into the world of production. Over the years Craig has been developing his knowledge and skills and with each release has enhanced his reputation, his records being supported by many of today’s most respected DJ’s and producers including Peace Division, DJ Sneak, The Inland Knights, The Revenge, Craig Smith, Ali OOFT, X-Press 2, Steve Bug, Groove Armada, Rob da Bank, Jim Stanton, Rub and Tug, PBR Street Gang, Greg Wilson, Andrew Weatherall, Toby Tobias, Duff Disco and many more.

Tracklist:

Meanderthals-Andomeda (idjut Boys remix)
Four Walls-No Use (Craig Bratley remix)
Apiento- The Orange Place
Cut Copy-Blink & You'll Miss A Revolution(Tornado Wallace remix)
Kalidasa-Bursting Through
Golden Fleece-Dancing In The Nude
Maurice And Charles-Moroder In Milan

From an early age Alex has had a huge interest in electronic music from the jacking sounds of Chicago through to Germanic tech house. Alex’s musical style has been heavily influenced by the burgeoning underground house scene in York, Leeds, and Hull (United Kingdom) over the last few years. Alex has been producing his own original productions for the last few years, he doesn’t like to pigeonhole his sound – it’s just house music that he likes to keep tracky, groovy and accessible but with a major underground edge. He has been a DJ for over 10 years and has also been awarded the runner up position in “International DJ” magazines raw talent DJ competition. Alex is resident DJ at a tech-house night “Freche Fruchte” in Hull (U.K.), and also helps run the “Freche Fruchte” house podcast which is regularly in the top 50 house podcasts in Europe. When Alex is producing his tracks and DJing he works on the principle that people want to go out and dance, but they want to have their musical boundaries expanded with forward thinking underground tracks that really get the floor moving.
