For this weeks podcast, there is a distinctly Northern feel with fellow scouser and DJ/Producer Andy Kneale hitting you up with a smooth deep house/tech house and prog house mix for your listening pleasure. Here's a full bio of Andy underneath enjoy.
Andy wears his influences on his sleeve. His obsession with electronic music started in the early 90s. Listening to artists such as Altern8, the Prodigy, Acen and Brothers in Rhythm.
Skip to the late 90s, while at university studying Physics, he finds himself immersed in the trance and progressive house scene. It wasn’t until the early 00s that Andy became addicted to the dark and pulsing rhythms of Techno when he first listened to The Youngsters Album ‘Lemon Orange’ and the classic Funk D’Void ‘Diabla’.
All these influences are obvious in Andy’s music. Full of melody, deep pads and old skool stabs, Andy’s music tries to strike at the heart of the listener.
His first EP for Hype muzik ‘Spectrum’ gained support from some of the undergrounds finest talents , including Ian O’Donovan, Madben, Mars T, to name a few. His EP ‘We thought Kraftwerk Was Robots’ gained support and plays from many DJs including UK legend Colin Dale and Nick Warren. Recently his material has gained support on the ‘It is what it is’ radio show of Laurent Garnier.
As Andy’s sound develops, interest for his music grows.
