Close friends Marco and Nathan share their extensive and ever growing knowledge of music, old and new. Their expansive and eclectic taste in music spans from 60's experimental psychedelia, to early 90's ambient, and through to the most recent contemporary and experimental releases in electronic music.
Interesting chat compliments the deep sounds that make up the bulk of Marco's music collection, whilst Nathan will surprise you with the creme de la creme of rare electric music.
Sit back, relax and let them take you, track by track, through the music that shapes their lives.

hip vs hop
Tarantism // 10.06.10 // Tarantism 22 - Bring Da Ruckus
All good things come to an end...
As summer comes, slowly but surely, to Glasgow... this awesome season of Subcity Radio must draw to a close. Unfortunately, this means that Tarantism Radio must bow out as well, for the time being.
Not wanting to go out with a blast, Tarantism have organised a Three Hour Long Hip-Hop Battle for your listening pleasure. We have in the studio with us two teams of Hip-Hop enthusiasts who are going head to head to try and impress the Tarantism hosts, as well as two other very special judges, Ross Dinnett and Rebenga Dunn.
The show is broken into three main rounds, further divided into sub-categories, meaning each team has to choose a song which they think best meets the criteria for each round.
So... in the "Skengers" corner, we have Natalie Miller, Daniel Sneddon and James 'The Wank' Whelan, bringing us tracks from Killa P, Biggie Smalls and more Killa P?
And at the "Ral-stoners" end, Tarantism plays host to Jonny Burke, Dominic Maxwell-Lewis and Jamie 'DJ Chromehands' Dunn who will play anything from Madlib to Dimlite.
Listen to the marvels these guys bring to the Subcity Studio, and feel free to bring your own input to The Tarantism Facebook.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, we've had a great season at Subcity Radio, and we hope you've enjoyed Tarantism from start to finish.
We won't be back on air until September, but you can listen to all our shows throughout the year by Clicking Here!
And be sure to check The Tarantism Facebook regularly for any upcoming events and DJ sets we'll be doing throughout the summer.
Thanks guys!

meaning, message & metaphor
Tarantism // 03.06.10 // Tarantism 21 - Meaning, Message & Metpahor
Almost all songs have a meaning of of some sort, but we feel that some tracks convey their meaning differently to others. The artists we play on this show have chosen a specific blend of lyrics and production to create songs that offer the listener a strong message.

chungo-bungo
Tarantism // 27.05.10 // Tarantism 20 - Chungo-Bungo
Once again, Nathan has been diagnosed with a serious case of 'mangina', resulting in his much deserved absence for recuperation. So, instead of Marco going solo in the studio, this week Tarantism invites Chungo & Bungo, a.k.a. Iain 'Waterleg' MacKinnon and James 'The Wank' Whelan.
Tonight we will play for you the best of reggae, ska, and dancehall with some classic tracks and a few rarities. Expect soothing basslines and harmonic vocals that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face, as well as a surprise window-entranced visit to the studio from DJ Gnarlyface, a.k.a. Casio Canteen.
If you like what you hear you can catch Iain and James at the launch of their brand new reggae night, Chungo-Bungo, next Wednesday at The Courtyard. Things kick off at 8p.m. and will have you skanking until late.
Sheeeeeeit.

hypermediocrity
Tarantism // 20.05.10 // Tarantism 19 - Hypermediocrity
Electroclash, coined by Larry Tee in 2001, is a musical genre that sprung to popularity in the early 2000s, but stemmed from the previous decade's antics of hedonism, sexual freedom and drug-fuelled ideals. It went on to become one of the most influential genres of recent history, spawning various forms of electro and synth-pop.
Popularised greatly by cult films like Party Monster, electroclash has continued to influence modern electronic producers, despite being a short-lived musical movement.
