Bandshell on teaandcakerecords

This morning saw the release of our third ep from teaandcakerecords. This time it's some dark, brooding, deep, atmospheric dubstep from man of mystery Bandshell.

I say mystery because it is very hard to pin down and true facts about him. I have known him for about 18 months now and still don't know that much about him. I knew him by at least three different aliases before only recently finding out his real name. I know the area he lives which made me have doubts if I knew his race. I had a feeling I knew his age approximately although initially I thought he was older than he actually is.

However none of that seemed important to me. To me he was Bandshell, the guy with great beats, an encyclopedic knowledge of not only dubstep, grime, garage and techno but also obscure rock bands, always guaranteed to pull out a little gem you've never heard before or drop some new demo he's been working on just that day and sounds better than the majority of things you've heard that year. It's Bandshell and it's an honour to finally be able to share with a wider audience just a first small sample of some of his music.

Thanks on this project must go out to the early ustreamers Mr Beatnick, Bake / ALLCAPS, Bnjmn and Lukid for the initial meeting, to Svpreme Fiend for the words of wisdom and to Tim for being Mr Teaandcakerecords and letting me get away with a lot my own way on this one.

2010 : Heroes of the year Number 10

This years winners of the 'Doing An 8Bitch' Award (ie haven't actually had any records released this year but still managed to dominate the itunes top 20 played list) is split between two of my heroes this year.

I've loved everything Golau Golau put out this year and it was a real honour when they kindly dropped an exclusive Songs Of Praise special for us in the summer. They have, coincidentally, got a new a new release up on bandcamp today, a Xmas ep and if you like that then you will definitely need to check Space Invader this weekend as they are back mixing a festive themed masterpiece. It really is something else!

Fauxhemian / Bandshelll just seemed to drop new tracks at the rate of about one a week throughout the year and again getting him to do a mix for us was a real privilege. Thankfully it seems there is going to be full releases coming very soon from this guy and I truly cannot wait.

Songs Of Praise 10.10.10 With Paul Riley And Fauxhemian / Bandshell by Space Invader Radio on Mixcloud

As 8Bitch, the inaugural winner of this award, has shown us, the powers that be eventually catch up with us and start to give the world what they want and so hopefully this time next year I will finally have my hands on records by both of these artists. Probably more for their sake than mine as they won't want me constantly going on about 'when's the record coming?'
