Для меня Free Ends в этом году - вестник музыкальной передовицы, источник вдохновения, спутник в дороге, подниматель настроения, укладыватель спать, союзник и опора, наставник и коллега, праздник, в конце концов. Поэтому честно могу сказать - очень люблю это радиошоу, и вручаю единственную свою виртуально-шоколадную награду в этом году именно этому радиошоу:

замечательный выпуск!
Потрясающе красивый эпизод,как первая так и вторая его часть.Действительно сегодня звучала музыка,в которой есть какая-то "загадка"... Один из лучьших эпизодов в этом году (лично для меня).
СПАСИБО,ДРУЗЬЯ!!!
СПАСИБО,Сергей и Кевин!!! ;-)
1) hi Kevin, we're glad that we have an opportunity to speak with the creator of one of favorite labels Glasgow Underground. besides, where did label disappear?, it seems to me that for a long time it had been gone and recently it appeared again.
Our distributor went bust owing us around £40,000 in 2004. We had just enough funds to cope with that kind of loss but it was going to take a significant new investment to get the label back up and running. I also co-own the Breastfed label. It had been going for about 18 months and was really taking off so I decided to commit all my time to that. As well as running the label, I mixed all the Mylo tracks that we released on Breastfed, co-produced 1/2 of the "Destroy Rock & Roll" album and programmed and produced all of the Linus Loves material. With all that going on, there wasn't much time for Glasgow Underground. Saying that, I did put out a 12" in 2006 and one in 2007 so… I did keep my hand in… kind of!
As for why I'm bringing it back, I think there's a real appetite again for house music and that has inspired me to do it. I didn't see the point in just making the catalogue available digitally so we're planning a series of compilations that showcase what we did in the 90s/00s and how it is relevant to people that like labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Rejected, Hot Natured or Visionquest today.
2) nostalgia surged in me, I remember Mateo & Matos, Studio Blue and other guys. they made a perfect music. Do you hear something like that now?
Hopefully! I just released a track with Phil Kelsey called Witness The Deepness that has similar vibes to the Studio Blue stuff and Eddie Matos has a release coming soon on Glasgow Underground so there'll still be music to keep fans of the old stuff happy.
3) on what music will policy of label Glasgow Underground be accented?
I've got quite a wide taste in house music and so that meant that Glasgow Underground in the past encompassed everything from the messed-up disco of the Idjut Boys through the cut-up fun of Mateo & Matos to the heavy rhythms of Powder Productions. The plan is to have a similarly wide-ranging A&R policy now so that means us doing modern versions of the above. Our first releases have featured productions from Rob Mello, Sei-A, Phil Kelsey, Small Pyramids, Mash, Romanthony and myself and there are plans for releases/productions from Paul Woolford, Deetron, Matthias Tanzmann and Pete Moss. These are all people I love.
4) Recently I've bought release where among others your remix was. In your point of view what did change in house music? what is missing or maybe must be in it?
I think, in the most simplest of terms, house is a feeling. When I'm making a house record its about getting across emotion within a 4/4 beat. Whether that be happiness, sadness, energy or joy.
5) who from musicians do you want to distinguish in this moment? who from musicians do you like to listen?
Rob Etherson from Glasgow is a producer people should look out for. He makes tech-house as one half of Ovr Kill and has a release forthcoming on Kling Klong, he makes bass/house as one half of Mia Dora and has just turned the new Roots Manuva single into a slice of Julio Bashmore-meets-Eats Everything deepness and, as Rob Etherson, his mix of Mash's "Somebody's Property" was one of Pleasurekraft's bombs of last year.
The first new signing to GU is a producer from LA called Small Pyramids. His debut ep "Another Way To Feel" was released free on the net last year. It was blogged by the likes of Disco Delicious, Nightdrive & Too Many Sebastians and its stand-out track "I Want Blood" found its way into the playlists of Bxentric and Radio 1's Jaymo. We've just promo'd some cool remixes of "I Want Blood" by Cosmic Kids and Goldroom and they're getting great reactions from the deeper djs. He's working on an album for the label just now.
6) What do you do except music?
Outside of music I love sports, especially football, cricket, tennis and golf both playing and watching when I can. I also enjoy wine. My other half is a trained sommelier and so I get to drink a lot of lovely wine.
