Holler Radio On Ddr

Listen in as Holler celebrated its 18th birthday on Dublin Digital Radio - ddr. To paraphrase Aretha Franklin, we may be “just 18, but we're old men in disguise." So tune in for another bout of ill-prepared mangling. Beardy started off this one with some drone, from the likes of Chra, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Dean Hurley before turning to lush ambient from Dedekind Cut. Watch out for that mournful descent into the gut wrenching poetry of North Yorkshire’s Adelle Stripe. It will hurt. Reddy stepped in with some D-Bridge dread and filth from Pariah mashing into the first of our Aretha Franklin injections with a song called America’s Nightmare. Things took a turn to variants of thug, deep and soulful house - before the bass whacked back in with club heaters tracks from the likes of Batu, Metrist, rRoxymore, Hodge, Ipman and Pinch. Things get wheeled up with a full on speed garage segment, some classic italo-house and Massive Sounds from NYC don dadda Bobby Konders. Finishing up with some electro/elec

And we are back for the month of August. The usual array of oddball dancehall and eerie riddims, grime bawlers and Bristol rollers with some full frontal club assault and jungle to keep things lit towards the end. Jump right down our musical ADHD rabbit hole as we scramble and shamble our way through shit new and old from Duppy Gun productions, African Head Charge, Artwork, Tessela, Disrupt, Breakage, Eomac, Aardvarck. Pinch, Shades, Killa P, Stereotyp, Lemzly Dale and a whole shed load more.

Here's the latest missive from the Holler camp from last week on Dublin Digital Radio - ddr. First half is a burst of dark UKG before we fall way to some ravey breakbeats and the like. Playing tracks by Glamma Kid, Horsepower Productions, Skee Mask, Dream Cycle, Colour Girl and more. Thanks to everyone that came down to that gig on Saturday. It sure was a sweat box.

Beardy brought a big old bag of drone, which definitely wasn't the good time BBQ vibes I had been planning on - but with the weather faded back to grey, it's well apt. Blasts of all the usual with new outsider dancehall riddims and grime to more uppy house sounds and peak time electro getting put through the mangle. We ran through tracks from Umwelt, Luca Lozano, Physical Therapy, Lakker, Gila, Klara Lewis, True Steppers, The Brothers Grimm, Tessela. Mad Mike and hapes more...

Bit of a switch up from the usual fray. Tonnes of early bleep sounds on this one, doses of house, rakes of breakbeat and possibly even an italo laced tune. We played tracks by Satin Storm, DJ Stingray, CELESTIAL TRAX, Larry Heard, Cocosteel and Lovebomb, Culture Clash, Auntie Flo, Om Unit, Dead Man's Chest, Kelela, Mella Dee, WNCL Recordings, DJ Spooky, Cloaka, TSVI and a whole lot more.

Moving from the somewhat monthly irregular and erratic to the very firm every third Thursday of the month over on Dublin Digital Radio at 2200 now. Starts off dark and dubby per usual with some fairly spacious riddims and beast mode step. There's bags of grime, percussive skanks, jungle and techno. Tracks from DJ Plead, Akcept, Hodge, Ossia, Jonah Freed, Eomac, Scratcha DVA, Noire, Source Direct, Drexiya and some great thing that samples The Cure. Tracklisting Z by Florian Kupfer VI (Ossia remix) by Silver Waves Datura Mystic by Tapes Liberation Cry by DTR & Akcept Sunlight On A Broken Column by Hodge Dreader Than Dread by Akcept Grand Ballet by Moleskin Sleep Lighter by Iglew FFS by Mumdance, Logos Flash Speed by Acre, Filter Dread 1blt by Spare Creepin' by Swing Ting Like We Used To by Kahn Dream Sequence by Jonah Freed Ash (Bamao Yende remix) by Kouslin Get In Circle by Dj Plead Resist All Dogma (Shaddah Tuum remix) by Eomac Rage Riddim by Noire Anti Vapour Waves by Drexciya Agnes Demise by Objekt Swin

The show remains downbeat for the first hour, as we ease on in with conscious tracks from Prince Douglas and Babe Roots floating in and out over newer dreamy wonks from Jay Glass Dubs, Low Jack, High Wolf / Black Zone Myth Chant and Culture Clash. Ciaran brought a bag with bits from Ambulance , Reload, LFO, Vex'd, WEN and folks like Kahn and Neek.

Join us as we magically time travel back to the misery of dry January. Starting off with a dubbed out selection from the likes of Bush Chemists with Culture Freeman killing it on the mic, with some old Jah Woosh in the mix too, before we amble into some rhythmic excursions from Harmonious Thelonious. Things then take a bit of a turn to the ambient, with weird club and grime pieces from the likes of FIS, Fracture, Lee Gamble, Bloom, Logos, Beneath & Gaunt. The second hour dives into the more hype end of speed garage & bassline featuring Flex Kru, So Solid Crew, Pay As You Go Cartel and many more. The final twenty goes off on a rave tangent with some Shut Up and Dance breakbeat, some chopped and screwed Madonna vocals, classics from Messiah and Shed before closing it off with the Cloud 9 Mix of Hyper Go Go's High which features a bassline fully primed to mash the place down.

This one starts off with some dubwise stuff early on via Roger Robinson, the mighty Ishan Sound and the weirdo dancehall of STILL. Grimey bits from folks like Bloom raise the temp, with newish Wiley and Theresa May bashing stuff from Dizzee before we get rightly garaged off our face with Riddim Commission and Zed Bias and some UK Funky bawl outs. There's bits from Luca Lonzano, newish shit from West Norwood Cassette Library via Sneaker Club Social and a cheeky chipmunked vocal tinged garage banger from Major Grave on Never Ready. Two of our fave killer MC’s get an outing with Lady Stush and Mz Bratt carpet bombing the place. Some ridiculously heavy stuff from Hitmakerchinx, and a hook up between Dub Phizix and 90s dancehall don dadas Ward 21 too. Leading us to buff remixes of old skool bangers from Papa San, Tenor Fly and a Sweetie Irie classic about smashing the National Front at the end. Track listing: Your Kiss Is Sour Parris Dog Heart City Roger Robinson Umlilo Dj Lag Tumult (Lurka remix) Ossia Step

Myself and Ciaran have handed over the reigns of this month’s show to the spirit of Mr Nothing Face. Unnaturally enough, he’s arranged a Samhain clash between this world and that, layered with his own choice invocations. It’s the perfect piseog to ward off dickeads dressed in superhero costumes and summon the goat lord. It takes in sweeping soundtrack synths, sampled folklore, haunting dubstep, darkside jungle and some well wrong heebie UKG-eebies. It's as bleak as that soon to land post-Bank Holiday fear and having to claw your way out of some horrors of your own creation and head back to work. Remember, Mr Nothing Face is watching all of you.

PLAYING TRACKS BY Boxwork, Jg Biberkopf, The Bug, Amy Becker, Fugees and more. Starts off with some cosmic NYC sounds, courtesy of a David Mancusso comp and played to mark his departure to the great loft in the sky. Ends with straight up UK Hardcore. Tonnes of nonsense in between from the likes of Gnod, Flowdan, EL B, YGG, Delroy Edwards, Stereotyp and Rod Lee. Vocal bangers from YGG, Flohio and Dublin lad Rapih. Watch out for a very special message from from Lauren Hill too. Tracklisting: Steady Jam - Sad City Control Systems - Gnod Eternal Note - Anthony Child6 Serra - Asusu Groundhog (feat Animai) - Flowdan Skeng (feat Killa P & Flowdan - Autechre remix) - The Bug Age Of Aquarius - Jg Biberkopf SILVR - Acre Play Your Corner (Walton remix) - Wen, Riko Dan Brooklyn Underground - New York Transit Authority Mwaitoma - Mim Suleiman The Smack (Mosca's Dread At The Controls version) - House Of Black Lanterns If U Feel (feat Kaleena Zanders) - Bot Last Of The Mohicans - Puppy Disc

The first one to go out. A no fixed abode approach to the rinsing sound. Session mash ups to leave you flat upon your back.

Back again coming up for air after a month of Youtube rabbit holes and tune hoarding. This one brings the usual vocal grime artillery, endless riddim switches and lots of big loud and bashy new dancehall melded in with the odd techno tantrum. Expect to hear tunes from AJ Tracey, J:Kenzo and Collinjah, right through to new gems from from Suku, Konshens, Safaree and Hitmakerchinx. Things get ravey with Ben Klock, Lukes Anger and Mark Archer. The usual mixed bag of bruk out so.

Holler returns to bring you that dread bass sound to DDR for two hours. Things ease in with Erick Cosaque and Voltage 8 dishing out a Guadeloupean drum machine work out followed by dubby eastern flavors from DJ Sottofett. Then it's a turn to the familiar thanks to a recent excursion in Bristol, highlights include Ishann Sound's Babylon burning anthem Trojan, yet more Seekers International, heavy steppers bizness from Grand Ancestor and a Paul St. Hilaire lyrical explosion with riddim masters Jahtari. Frankie Bones and Luke Vibert bring the hardcore and there's jungle freak out fuckery from DJ Scud, Source Direct and a remastered Bay B Kane cut. The usual supporting cast of sirens, random documentary samples and other bombastic FX come strong amidst quick switches and bursts of functional grime artillery. Not for your dinner party this. The Stars Are Moving Demdike Stare Tomb Gatekeeper Nah Ina It Paul St Hilaire Shotta (Kahn & Neek remix) Royal-t Screamer (feat Riko Dan) Pinch Fugese Lhf, The Ragga Twin

Holler 5 went out on Dublin Digital Radio - DDR right on the dot at midnight March 16th. It'd featured not a damn tap of anything to do with Paddy's Day but came loaded with a rake of 1990's NYC dancehall, a modicum of hip hop and the usual varied array of musical weaponry myself and Ciaran listen to on loops and unleash at the imaginary raves in our heads all day long while serving time for wage slavery. Check in especially if you like the idea of serious ragga vocal tunes getting mashed into vintage UK jungle and then some.

Holer 4 rampages through a bunch of new finds for us, dipping deep into things like Seekers International, ravey Peder Mannerfelt bits and a square wave grime assault. There’s carnival heat from DJ Die via his Gutterfunk label, bursts of UK Funky into some banging big drum Belgian techno numbers like Capricorn’s 20Hz. We jump on the riddim bus for a Sleng Teng excursion and stop off with versions from Screechie Nice to JD Twitch among others. Elsewhere, the mighty Tenor Fly (who died the summer just gone) squares off with Starkey Banton on the merits and sins of jungle music. Set those lazers to bashment rave! And Ciaran finally gets to unload a rake of footwork with some Zed Bias and DJ Rashad joints. But not before pulling together a little segment devoted to Mark Fisher who passed some weeks ago. It’s got couple of his favorite tracks from a time when we could still imagine a future and drops a really salient speech from the man himself. Tracklisting: Dr Know Addison Groove & Dj Die Send We A Sign Se

The one that nearly made it across the line, as Ciaran literally eloped with somebody else half-way through. Starting off sound scapey with bits from Sophia Loizou, Fiz, Kuedo and Ital Tek and Mark Pritchard before ramping into the dread bass of Kahn and Neek and creepy crawlers from the likes of Killjoy. Bursts of bruk out from Masika, Lady Chann, Killa P and Daddy Freddy, into junglism from Pessimist. Before sailing home with eye wobble laden piano, hardcore and bleepy numbers. This one is dedicated to Darcus Howe and we pepper some sound bytes from him on the media and insurrection throughout. RIP.

Chockablocka riotious dancehall, sheer skank, weirdo house and somewhere in the middle a dose of rousing dub poetry via Mataburuka and Bobby Konders.
