What's going on?

This is what's going on......

Wednesday's show kicked ass, one of our best so far (only 6 shows left till our first year broadcasting anniversary). We had;

The usual array of 1st rate breaks, beats and rhymes and some soundtrack nuggets from Roy Budd and friend of the show Mr Lalo Schifrin.

Mel (Head of The Bottomless Crates Meteorology Division) updated us on meeting Rio Ferdinand (England football captain) at Legoland.

A live call in from Dweller to accept the retiring Winner-Stays-On championship on behalf of Rick Mal (not to mention his own work on the tracks Rick flowed over) and also to introduce Organix which is now going to be a regular feature on the show (we're very happy to promote this - top, top tunes with a platform for unsigned artists to rip the mic).

With Rick Mal retiring undefeated, the Winner-Stays-On battle got two new artists in the shape of Foul Mouth & Acid Reign representing NY state versus Baron Von Alias & MistaBreeze representing Newcastle - 2 awesome tracks went head to head and voting kicked off with early heavy support to the US (including Lexi from North Carolina who called the studio within 5 mins of the votes opening - dedication!). Voting remains open till midnight Saturday - so do your bit by hitting the facebook group and posting on our wall or, if you ain't on facebook, either email us or put something up on the website chat box...

Anyway, looks like next week is going to be massive.... So, to wrap up the first show for June... here's the links you'll need;

You Are Being Served

So, another Bottomless Crates radio show went ahead on Monday just gone, the previous week's show having being cancelled due to ill health. As usual, the tunes were crispy and all was going well until the guests turned up.... Find out what happened for yourself (I can barely bring myself to talk about it and am dreading the damages bill)...

Artists this week included; Ronnie Hazlehurst, Sugar Bear, The Demon Boyz, Si Begg, Dr Octagon and Coldcut among many, many others.

Yesterday's Crates

She's smiling because she loves Depth Charge vs Silver Fox....

Without further a do, make much haste and pay regard to last night's Bottomless Crates radio extravaganza, available in two unequal parts both here and here.

It's a auditory gloryhole and no mistake!

The shape of things to come

Hello again, sorry for the lack of action here recently...

The Bottomless Crates radio show is about to kick off again, re-born as a 2 hour weekly show and looking like Wednesday 9 till 11 at the moment. All we are waiting for is the start date so we should be on air again within a couple of weeks, hold tight!

In the meantime, here's a big, fat selection of big, fat tunes that have been played over the last weeks to give a taster of what to expect sonically once we return....

In no particular order and not selected as a "best of", just some good tunes.... Enjoy.
