shows // Beat Beneath
techno // house // electronica // techhouse // minimal
From chilled out vibes, spacey beats and subtle grooves to pulsing club sounds and full-on floor destroyers, Simon Bryan presents a varied selection of electronic and dance music aimed at both clubbers and home listeners.
Recognising that there's a lot more to today's dance music scenes than just sweaty nightclubs and top DJs record boxes, Beat Beneath showcases the breadth of modern techno and house music as well as some more laidback or abstract cuts and stand out releases from all electronic genres.

warehouse sessions
Partly to bring in the new slot in style, and partly due to a recent gig of mine being cut off early for, erm, legal reasons, this week's show is eschewing the usual hint of melody for an hour dedicated to dark, raw, and dirty warehouse techno. Expect tunes from such filth wizards as Dustin Zahn, Sian and Ben Klock, and it's highly recommended that you listen to the show on a system with a decent amount of bass otherwise it won't really work, laptop speakers aren't gonna cut it here...

winter warmers
As you all know it's extremely chilly outside so I'm going to attempt to play some warm, laidback tunes in an attempt to do something about that. Nothing too full-on, just a selection of nice wintry tracks.
This show is 100% vinyl for added warmth :)

best of 2009 special
It's come to the end of 2009 so for the last Beat Beneath of the decade I'm going to run through, in my opinion, some of the best dance tracks to come out in 2009 in a special two-hour show. Expect tunes from Itamar Sagi, John Tejada, Robert Hood, Scuba and many many more in a show which will cover electronica, house, techno and "bass music" (how I dislike that term...). One not to miss...

last beat beneath this term...
As you may know already, Subcity only runs for the academic term so it's stopping its broadcast this weekend until September... meaning Friday 12/6 is the last Beat Beneath for a while. It's gonna be a bit of a retrospective - I'll be playing some of the best tracks from the last year or so, so expect some BB favourites ranging from deep techno to dubstep via funky house and other annoying subgenres.
I'll be in touch through this group occasionally about things like mixes to download and upcoming DJ gigs so hopefully you won't miss me too much ;)
P.S. make sure you head down to the Subcity Stage for the West End Festival this Sunday (14th), if the weather's nice we'll be loading some speakers and decks into Kelvingrove Park and having a wee party with Subcity DJs playing all sorts of good music from around 1pm onwards... also the final Research Club night of the year is that very night and also has a very good lineup. Check out subcity.org for more details.
