Hello everyone,
So I’m gradually working my way back into doing one of these a month. It’s been a busy couple of months since the last volume – but I’m back. Read More
'Your Irregular Radio Show / Podcast / MP3 file'.
The idea is that each month either I 'Joe Pritchard', or a guest dj record a mix covering a range of music styles giving our own individual interpretation of 'The Build Up'. One mix, for instance, I may work my way from Ambient Experimental stuff to Dubstep to Minimal to various flavours of House and Techno then Drum and Bass. For another mix someone else may apply their own styles and create something entirely different. DJ's are playing an excitingly wide range of genres at the moment and we are using this to bring you something completely unique, every month. Through interviews, exposure and helpful resources we aim to help unsigned producers find the advice, inspiration and enthusiasm they need to get their music where they want it to be...
Volume 6 – Open Windows
This has taken me over a year to get together. My decks have been broken but I’ve just got a new interface! I only had this very small (open) window of opportunity to do the mix so thought would. Tracklisting below should give you an idea of what to expect! Enjoi

Freerange Presents… Local Produce Volume 7
Some guys I know from Oxford have been keeping the UK garage flame burning bright with their “What you call it garage?” nights (that make me wish I was still in Oxford). Their latest UKG mix Freerange Presents… Local Produce Volume 7 by DJ Charris is absolutely big.
With the revival of these garage flavours from new-comers such as Mosca (featured on the first ever volume of The Build Up) and Deadboy and veterans such as Zed Bias still making brilliant music it’s great to see these nights popping up out of London.
You can catch Mosca at their forthcoming Freerange night in the Cellar Oxford on Wednesday, October 5. Click here for more info.

Volume 4.5 – ‘Rolling the Decimals’ Feat. Spalec Dj & Paddy
So it’s been a busy couple of months for me, moving to Cardiff, working on setting up an exciting new online business (link coming soon!) and I really haven’t had time to give Volume 5 the attention it needs, with that in mind we’re ‘rolling with the decimals’ this time. For those of you that haven’t heard about it, for Volume 5 I’ve asked friends and listeners to pick their favourite ever tracks for me to compile a mix from! We’ve had some amazing suggestions from Jimi Hendrix to Gangstarr to Orbital to MJ Cole, to MF Doom. Click HERE to check out the previous suggestions! Thanks to everyone for their suggestions so far, I’m going to get the mix done asap as soon, it’s shaping up to be one hell of a tracklisting!!
This Volume we’ve got a mix from Spalec DJ playing some techno and house and an awesome mix by Paddy from Oxford made up of hip hop, funk, breaks and everything in-between! I’ve played some tracks but have had to take a lazy radio dj approach, simple cut and fades from my pc! Read More

Bob Moog Music Lecture
This Bob Moog Music Lecture really opened my eyes to synthesizers and electronic music.
I’ve spent quite a long time fiddling with knobs on synthesizers, but have never really known exactly how they work. This Read More

Hello… So we’re back with a funky ass Volume 4. This month it’s all about throwing as many funk and disco influences at The Build Up as I possibly can.

Dunian ‘Where is the Problem’ – FREE EP
Ok so Mary Anne Hobbs has been giving Dunian a lot of exposure and it’s well deserved. Where is the problem and the rest of the E.P for that matter are amazing. I really wanted to feature his track ‘Where is the Problem’ on Volume 4 of The Build Up but simply couldn’t fit it in, and I’m kind of regretting it. So I’m hooking you up with the free download he is giving out HERE!!!
