'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...

Outlook Festival – Super Sound Systems, Genre-Stepping & British Weather.
Even though the weather this year may have been more commonly associated with a British festival it didn’t stop outlook from being one not to be missed.
A womping range of basslines of various varieties such as reggae, dub, ska, hiphop, drum n bass and pretty much any genrestep you’d like to hear. The variety was complimented by super high quality sound systems – an essential element that many festivals lose points on.
Day and night, from the beach to the Harbour and Fortress the stages all pumped out their own styles. With a refreshing combination of well known and up and coming artists. Read More

Win 2 tickets to Dimensions festival in Croatia
We’ve seen several festivals pop up around Croatia in recent years but for me, Dimensions festival is leading the way in terms of line up.
Top picks for us this year are Little Dragon, Carl Craig Presents 69, Four Tet Live, Kassem Mosse, Objekt, Floating Points, Gold Panda & mercury nominated Portico Quartet.
Dimensions focusses on the deeper end of the spectrum. You can expect some of the best sound systems in Europe, that will do justice to the excellent range of bass on the bill.
The festival takes place on a fort on the beautiful Adriatic coast in Croatia at For Punta Cristo, Pula between 6th – 9th September.
We’ll be there covering the festival – so look out for us and don’t forget to check our live updates and full post festival write-up! Read More

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 11 – Local
It’s all really dance-y, with quite repetitive rhythms, and in the last couple of years I’ve been really enjoying music that fuses those African grooves with electronic beats.
