Episodes

  1. Fresh Soup 138: Hilfingerz, eUROpURO

    Engurland, Engurland, Engurland ... your Royal duty as a St George cross-bearing, sunburn-sporting, pint of Carling-swilling, monobloc polypropylene chair-chucking, international King of the louts is upon you. Let batty old Liz swear you into the court of chaos, say your oath to the spirit of...

  2. Fresh Soup 137: Pierre a Soif

    If you were in danger of having a lazy weekend, collapsing into your easy chair and tuning into Kenny Rogers, then fear not, our very own hero in a half shell is back to save your Saturday. With a familiar Soup session of squelching electronica and throbbing club-ready beats, the bandana-clad...

  3. Fresh Soup 136: Simon Howlett

    Deep and delicious, Simon Howlett's mixes are made for sweltering late nights and balmy evenings as the sun sets on a city skyline. Dropping in another Soup session of house music inflected by gospel, soul, disco and more, this one's to the start of the summer we all deserve but probably won't…

  4. Fresh Soup 135: Øhm Sweet Øhm presents Pool Beats

    Summer is peaking through the clouds of Covid and threatening the status quo with the promise of fun. Remember that? To celebrate the return of sunburnt noses and sweaty briefs, our very own Øhm Dawg has cracked open a tinny and is luring us to his pool party with a session of future beats, lo-fi...

  5. Fresh Soup 134: DJ Simm, Marcus Intalex Remembered

    Active from 1991 until his untimely death in 2017, Marcus Intalex was a true pioneer of drum and bass in the north west of England, and a force our Simm considered one of the very best their was. Also producing house and techno music under the pseudonym Trevino, this tribute to a prolific...

  6. Fresh Soup 133: JBdeQ

    With a record bag capable of slaying a dancefloor at a rate more rapid than care home occupants were slain by a failed herd immunity policy, JBdeQ returns with another hour packed to the rafters with pitched up vocals, breakbeats, acid lines and booty-shaking beats and bleeps; working your inner...

  7. Fresh Soup 132: Matthew Egginton

    Corona and conflict, corruption and climate, uncertain times call for a measure of calm. Who ya gonna call? If global confusion were a ghost, our Matthew Egginton would be the embodiment of Bill Murray and his phantom bashing pals. Fanning out the noise with another session of soothing spiritual...

  8. Fresh Soup 131: Pete Carvell

    The management would like to issue Mr Pete Carvell a formal double apology. Firstly, the blighter keeps making topical statements in his episodes: we are aware this is posted on the wrong day. Secondly, after finally making a date with a beautician, he asked us not to include this photo of his...

  9. Fresh Soup 130: Mark Kovich

    Dishing up a Soup serving with another selection of lush house sounds more contagious than the Indian variant, big Mark Kovich is back behind our boogie box to take your weekend to the next level. Deep and dreamy, dandy and discoey, lose yourself in the hypnotic groove of house goodness. Hosted…

  10. Fresh Soup 129: Simon Howlett

    Is it ending? Is it time to dance? Whilst the pandemic is far from over, the shift into summer has brought with it a renewed sense of hope; vaccines on both sides of the pond they call the Atlantic being pumped out faster than Michael Gove can hoover up a line of bugle. Whilst the third summer of...

  11. Fresh Soup 128: Pete Carvell, Unlucky 13

    Superstition is a load of bullshit, right? Wrong. Having just realised this was his unlucky thirteenth mix, our Pete promptly severed his toe on a picture frame. Bloody hell. Literally. Thankfully the curse didn't extend to this Soup session itself, Mr Carvell pumping out a typically rollicking...

  12. Fresh Soup 127: DJ Simm, Can I Get a Rewind?

    What do you call it, garage? What do you call it, urban? What do you call it, 2-step? At the end of the 1990s, skipped garage beats were forming a new evolution of sound in urban dance music; flooding dancefloors from East London to Ayia Napa with good vibes, attitude and eccentric MCs. Taking…

    more
  13. Fresh Soup 126: Buck Houston

    From pop to post punk and back again, Buck delves deep into his mixed bag for another session of sounds from the nether regions. More colourful than a set of Downing Street curtains, but much less shady, let Mr Houston take your hand and help you frolic through our late stage capitalism dystopia...

  14. Fresh Soup 125: JBdeQ

    Piling up the bangers higher than the stack of bodies Boris Johnson would rather have seen than another lockdown, JBdeQ is back with another hour of clubby, urban-edged house, electro and breaks. Soundtracking the sort of party we're all itching to get our bags out for, crank up the volume, piss...

  15. Fresh Soup 124: Matthew Egginton

    Inspired in part by Mr Rycroft's recent 'house awakening' Soup session, our very own Duke of Drifty Synths, Matthew Egginton, calls on some of his favourites from "back in the day" for an hour of progressive house that reaches right into the scene's roots; a world of atmospheric arpeggios, of…

    more
  16. Fresh Soup 123: Øhm Sweet Øhm presents Gigolography

    When you call yourself DJ Hell, it's obvious you want to let your listeners know what to expect. Sure, you could be plundering the Coldplay back catalogue, but you know whatever you're getting yourself into, it's not going to be easy listening. Thankfully, Helmut Geier doesn't seem keen on Chris...

  17. Fresh Soup 122: DJ Simm, 'Ardcore '94

    In the 12 months where fun got banned, nostalgia for packed dancefloors, lasers and big fish little fish dance moves has peaked; the sound of British hardcore being reproduced by kids who weren't even a glint in their parents' massively enlarged pupils, and hipster Instagram accounts ramping up…

    more
  18. Fresh Soup 121: Mark Kovich

    Our overlords have spoken and the doors are opening for a summer free from Covid restrictions, the prospect of being as one united under a groove looming ever closer. With sets frequently deeper than a certain German-Greek reptilian will be on Saturday afternoon, Mark Kovich is the man for this...

  19. Fresh Soup 120: Hilfingerz, GTFU

    If Hilfingerz' last Fresh Soup session was a moment of contemplation and calm, his latest is the storm it preceded; Tom saying no to shamanic mindfulness and a big yes to ass-grindin' mindlessness. GTFU (you can work out the acronym yourself) is a very Hilfingerz celebration of Britain's gateway…

    more
  20. Fresh Soup 119: Pierre a Soif

    He's got an obsession with Messrs‎ Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo; he's eternally thirsty; and he loves a throbbing banger of a tune. It's the one and only, Pierre a Soif, back to rock you out of your socks with another dose of club-orientated nu-school electronica. Hosted on…

    more
  21. Fresh Soup 118: Matt Rycroft, A House Awakening

    It's slap bang in the middle of the 1990s and a much-loved Vauxhall Nova is traversing the A55, the M56, and M53. The cloud of smoke is dense and the tunes are life-changing. A group of teenagers send a fleet of cars from North Wales to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and beyond; clubs like Cream…

    more
  22. Fresh Soup 117: Simon Howlett

    Can you resist the temptation of the dark side? Back celebrating the raunchy roots of house music, Simon Howlett lures us into the warehouse for another steamy session of disco, dirt and deep house designed to set temperatures soaring. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  23. Fresh Soup 116: DJ Simm

    His is a name hallowed around here as the man most likely to theme the soundtrack to his own funeral; such is DJ Simm's fervent dedication to moments in time, sub-genres and discographies. For one night only, our man in Preston, Lancashire, drops his playlists and descends into a frenzy of…

    more
  24. Fresh Soup 115: Pete Carvell

    It's the third day after his crucifixion and old J-dog is as dead as a dodo, but who's gonna turn water into wine if that badass son of God doesn't turn in his grave? Bringing back the long-lost spirit of bank holiday raving so rowdy it could wake the dead, Pete Carvell crashes into our Easter...

  25. Fresh Soup 114: Buck Houston

    What's more random that digging your hand into a half a pound bag of pick 'n' mix? Buck Houston's track selection, that's what. The liquorice allsorts of Fresh Soup returns with another session selected from the deepest corners of his own mixed bag; all from synthpop to hip hop with new wave and...

  26. Fresh Soup 113: JBdeQ, An Ode to '90s Techno

    Time to stock up on flowers to send to the neighbours, JBdeQ is back with an unapologetic ode to his underground awakening. Honouring countless school nights spent staying up late listening to Colin Dale's Abstract Dance Show on Kiss FM, this is a blistering 60 minute session containing many of…

    more
  27. Fresh Soup 112: Hilfingerz, Mindful Soup

    Even in a global pandemic, we find it difficult to stop doing things. (Sourdough starters, that's all I'm saying.) The omnipresence of activity is inbuilt through decades of life in the neoliberal west, which is why many of us have tried, with varying success, to employ some kind of mindfulness…

    more
  28. Fresh Soup 111: Matthew Egginton

    The Prince of peacefulness is back, Matthew Egginton not crashing into our week, rather easing in elegantly from behind-the-scenes like a glamorous supermodel arriving at a shoot she's late for. With his blend of progressive beats and soothing synths, Matt's latest takes us on a sunrise journey…

    more
  29. Fresh Soup 110: Øhm Sweet Øhm presents Italians Love Synthesizers

    As disco in its spiritual home of New York's debauched nightclubs fell out of vogue, European producers inspired by the sound persisted with gusto; taking their scene to the mainstream with chart successes moulded in the manner of the Warhol Factory cookie cutter process. Once a dirty word, Italo...

  30. Fresh Soup 109: DJ Simm, Dubstep Classics

    From a Croydon record shop called Big Apple to sold-out arenas in the city that goes by the same name, in the mid part of the 2000s to early in the following decade, a scene was born, exploded and its cultured ashes pissed on from a great height by an ugly American wave known ominously as EDM....

  31. Fresh Soup 108: Pete Carvell

    Soaring and sonorous, deep and delicious. And that's just the velvet voice of Fresh Soup's Pete Carvell. Dropping another hour of lush house and electronica into our hearty bowls, lose yourself in some Sunday slurping as episode 108 transports you to a strobe-lit main room of ragged revellers....

  32. Fresh Soup 107: Mark Kovich

    Feel the sweat drip from the ceiling and the moist embrace of an animated stranger. We will dance again, and to soundtrack the optimism that we're all allowing ourselves to feel just a little of, Mark Kovich is back behind the ones and twos with a hedonistic 60 minutes of deep and soulful house...

  33. Fresh Soup 106: Matt Rycroft

    Hold your horses, Johnny 5 is feeling alive in his guise a rootin'-tootin' sentient cow-bot. The nostalgia is back centre-stage at Fresh Soup, which can mean only one thing: Matt Rycroft is back with another hour-long good time session of electropop, tops off house joints and synth-driven...

  34. Fresh Soup 105: Simon Howlett

    Brace yourselves for another incoming attack from the United States of America. Simon Howlett has his deep and dubby disco guns a-blazin' again, rendering reluctant dancers helpless in their wake. From Portland, Oregon, to Fresh Soup with love, steady your stereo for another irresistible invasion...

  35. Fresh Soup 104: Pierre a Soif

    I went into a bookshop yesterday to see if they had anything about turtles. "Hardback?" The guy asks. "Yep, with little heads," I respond. OK, I'll quit it with the jokes, before we head for a turtle disaster. Crashing into the back end of your week, our favourite testudines returns with another...

  36. Fresh Soup 103: Pete Carvell, a Tribute to Daft Punk

    They've been around the world, they're harder, better, faster and stronger, and they've played in the house of the guy who was the first to play them to the rock kids. They are Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and they need no introduction. When your old man writes D.I.S.C.O....

  37. Fresh Soup 102: DJ Simm, The Soul of Drum & Bass

    The drums and the bass are there, but so too are vocals, moving melody and lush instrumentation; this is the soul of drum and bass. Switching out rampant hoover synths and chaotic bass-bin-bustin' subs for song structures, pianos and harmonies, Simm takes us on his most polite outing to date.…

    more
  38. Fresh Soup 101: Hilfingerz, Vorsprung durch Tech

    Enter the sound of science, as Hilfingerz drops Fresh Soup 101; a joint ode to the technology that is slowly putting an end to our sad situation and that has shaped the music each and every Souper holds dear. Enjoy our own progress through tech, with a solid 60 minutes of bass heavy,...

  39. Fresh Soup 100: Buck Houston

    Free-falling Fresh Soup into three numbers, Buck Houston takes a leap of faith for this momentous mix, fixing the metronome at 100 beats per minute. Marking the big one-hundred with a typically eclectic session of movers dialled into the same speed for just under an hour, dive into Fresh Soup 100...

  40. Fresh Soup 099: JBdeQ

    Tonight we're going to party like it's Fresh Soup 99. To mark our last session in double figures, resident raver JBdeQ gets our party started with a familiar blend of dubby and clubby house, breaks and bangers. Limber up like you've just heard the pandemic is over, put on your dancing shoes, and...

  41. Fresh Soup 098: Jim Damentalist

    Some say you have to be a tad unhinged to join team Fresh Soup, but perfectly-sane-of-mind Jim Damentalist shows those naysayers otherwise. Having whipped crowds into a crazy stupor at clubs from Cream to Pacha, Ibiza Rocks to the infamously hedonistic Manumission, Jim opens his Soup account with…

    more
  42. Fresh Soup 097: Matthew Egginton

    In a world of uncertainty, some things are still set in stone. That the road out of the pandemic will be as precarious as Bolivia's Carretera a los Yungas; that a Pep Guardiola side will pass a lot; that Boris Johnson is a cunt. For fans of Fresh Soup, they'll also be familiar with the...

  43. Fresh Soup 096: Øhm Sweet Øhm presents Space Disconauts

    First standing behind the decks in 1969 at a club in a small town near Rimini, a young Italian DJ would spend the 1970s honing both his craft and a unique slant on the disco music that was being pioneered across the Atlantic. By the 1980s, Daniele Baldelli's Cosmic Disco was ready to lift off,...

  44. Fresh Soup 095: DJ Simm

    Hotstepping from the genesis of jungle at the turn of the 1990s to the genre in its current form, DJ Simm is back with a clattering ode to 21st century jungle; drawing from the catalogues of two of the labels at the heart of the scene's shifting sound, Rupture and AKO Beatz. Like a vaccine...

  45. Fresh Soup 094: Pete Carvell

    Happy birthday to us. As Fresh Soup marks six months of eclectic mixes and mid-pandemic merrymaking, the man who dropped our first session returns to his roots with a thunderous hour of alt-dance that draws on his hedonistic days as a resident at Ibiza Rocks; Pete Carvell blowing your bassbins to...

  46. Fresh Soup 093: Mark Kovich

    Not even a case of Covid can keep Mark Kovich from delivering the goods. After a tough session of isolation, Mark presents Soupers with a deep and dark hour of house music that conjures the polar opposite of seclusion: that primal essence of clubbing, that we are all one under the trance of...

  47. Fresh Soup 092: Matt Rycroft

    "If you have a friend who's a robot, they'll never cross you. They're loyal because their love can't be bot." I'm here all week. With Paulie Pennino's robotic butler at his service, Matt Rycroft is back at the Fresh Soup ladle to dish up another helping of nostalgia-soaked, party-minded house…

    more
  48. Fresh Soup 091: Simon Howlett

    As deep as Jeff Bezos's pockets, our latest incoming from Portland, Oregon, is another woozy walk into the weekend. Funk, filters, fuzz and flair all come together under the virtual strobe lights, as Simon Howlett takes us on another hour of deep and soulful house music. Hosted on Acast. See...

  49. Fresh Soup 090: Pierre a Soif

    Call April O'Neil on the case, Pierre is back with another 60 minutes of leftfield house on the half shell. A deep, club-forward innings of beats and bleeps made with nostalgia for the dancefloor, tune in, turn up and wiggle your way to the weekend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

  50. Fresh Soup 089: JBdeQ

    Like a mutant strain that won't be suppressed by no vaccine a human could engineer, JBdeQ is back with another blistering session of high energy dance music. From techno through Baltimore club by way of clattering drum and bass, this party gets pitched up to a relentless 160bpm and stays there…
