Aloha! Right, I didn’t plan on this Episode of Lowering The Tone being the Xmas show, Im just so late with it, that is just how it’s panned out :-) It's not a bad one even if I say so myself. This time round I have a very good friend of mine Kristian Townsend (Dubspeeka, Ways & Means, Akasha FX) over for a loose conversation, we ended up having a bit of a big night before, and I was really feeling it the day after, much to Kristian's amusement, as you will hear. The conversation touches upon everything from Kristian’s upbringing & living out a bus, to running a high influential record label, to the current success of his Dub Techno project Dubspeeka (along with Darren Beale from Kosheen). I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Kris, I hope that comes across in this 2hr show. Musicwise, I pretty much kick the sh*t out of it from start to finish :-) As always, if you would like to help out and show your support, please just share the link, rate & review if you listen via iTunes, and if you enjoy it please take a moment and make a comment, It means a lot to get some feedback. I hope you enjoy it.

This episode (music-wise) as always, expect a trip into the underground. This time round I belt it out in the mix, mainly because I have had the pleasure of playing some really kicking festivals this summer and it’s simply where my head was while putting this show together! For the interview, I had the opportunity to grab Damon Pages Oliver- Who is better known to his friends as Oly. He is the CEO of Blazing Swan; an event held in Western Australia every April, which I was lucky enough to perform at earlier this year. Oly gives us a fascinating insight into the inner workings of Blazing Swan, how it came about and the future... and what makes this event so special! Oly is a proper character and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him. I’m at the stage now with the show, where it’s nice to be able to take a look at the bigger picture when it comes to alternative culture and chat with people on the other side of the fence.

Im pleased to give you Episode 18 of the Lowering The Tone podcast. This time round I had the pleasure to sit down with Ant Wilson Aka 'Chicago Loop' and have an in-depth chat about starting your career again from scratch, life after the London Acid Techno scene and naming himself after a ring road in America. As I have mentioned before these are not so much of an interview more of just a laid back conversation that veers off in all directions, thats is the charm though IMO, listening back to this one I think it will appeal to DJ’s who wish (and do) travel because Ant is a well seasoned DJ who has some great stories of his on the road experiences around the globe, I found his story petty inspiring I hope you do to.As you should expect by now I explore many genres mix wise but keeping it Techy based. As promised in the show I will bring back the ‘Deeper Selection’ next episode.So if you enjoy the show could I please ask you to share the link, Re-tweet, Re-post, Like, Comment, Rate & Review  … you get the idea!I hope you like it, talk soonMark (Meat Katie) Worldwide Bookings  Meat Katie - Ben Coda - Neurodriver Nadia@loweringthetone.london____________________ Lowering The Tone is sponsored by Made Interactive, create a beautiful website at: www.madeinteractive.comUse Promo code ‘LTT’

Im proud to present Episode 15 of Lowering The Tone; the long form podcast created for the listener who is looking for something a little bit more than just a standard DJ mix. The word "eccentric" gets thrown around a lot, but I can honestly say my latest guest encapsulated the word perfectly. Wreckage Inc (Alex Wright) is one of the key members of the legendary Mutoid Waste Company. The raucous UK based art collective, who have been creating jaw dropping art installations all over the world, stemming back to the mid 80’s and still going strong today. It’s a change from what I normally do (chatting to DJ’s/Producers).  As you will hear Alex loves a tangent… and with an hilarious affect. I found him to be an intelligent and dare I say, inspiring individual with a glorious outlook on life. Music wise as always you can rely on a journey though the underground smashing through the genres on its way. Any support you can lend to the show will be greatly appreciated,  whether its buying a track from our Bandcamp, iTunes or Beatport or maybe if you are feeling generous popping us a donation via the website, or simply sharing the link, rating & reviewing on iTunes just a few ways you can get involved.,  any of these things can make a big difference.  If you want a track listing to the show, head over to www.loweringthetone.london and subscribe and we will mail you one.

I’m pleased to deliver Episode 12 of my Lowering The Tone podcast-  2.5 hours of underground music and chat.  This time round, I caught up with one of the most switched on people I know who is also a good friend, Syd Gris.

I’m pleased to give you Episode 8 of the Lowering The Tone Podcast, as always expect a broad mix of electronic music & chat. This time round I had the pleasure of talking with Steve Young AKA Hedflux about his journey into music & the up’s and downs of life in general, it's a long conversation which I decided not to edit down Iv'e just extended the show to fit it all in!  Steve is an interesting and intelligent character that I am sure you will warm to. You can help! I try hard to make these shows honest & representative of my personality and my tastes, I hope by now that is coming through in each show & I genuinely love doing this, but I’m not the greatest at online promotion, in fact I become a bit self conscious about ‘over doing it’ (no one wants to be accused of Spamming), so if you can lend a hand by sharing the link via your social media platforms it would be a massive boost to the awareness…. and I won’t have to look like a dick that just talks about the same thing all the time. Alternatively if you download any music from my Bandcamp (meatkatie.bandcamp.com) page and donate any money that will add with finical assistance which is also needed for the podcast to grow. (a 2hr + show eats bandwidth like you wouldn’t believe). I will be mailing the track listing out next week and in case you are not aware, you need to subscribe at www.meatkatie.com, or you will be automatically added to the list if you download anything on my Bandcamp (meatkatie.bandcamp.com) So I think thats about it… enjoy the show and Im keen to hear your comments via Soundcloud or Facebook Mark (Meat Katie) ____________________ To receive a track listing for the shows you need to subscribe at www.loweringthetone.london Email me on Mark@loweringthetone.london ____________________  Bookings & Management  Nadia@loweringthetone.london Europe/Asia Bookings Cécile Faucillon cecile@electrobooking.com ____________________ Lowering The Tone is sponsored by Made Interactive, create a beautiful website at: www.madeinteractive.com Use Promo code ‘LTT’ This will give a 20% discount for the lifetime of any account.
