It’s the first Goatlab Radio show of 2012 featuring special guest Ekoplekz. Born and raised in Bristol, Ekoplekz is a key component in the city’s electronic music scene, firstly as scene commentator/blogger Gutterbreakz, and now as musical contributor in his own right. He unsurprisingly taps into its soundsystem lineage, running all the way from Dub and Reggae through to today’s explosion of Dubstep forms. But his own sound is quite distant from the digital sheen of many of his current contemporaries. His debut 12″ was released on Bristol’s Punch Drunk label and has featured on labels such as Mordant Music, Perc Trax and Snug Life Records, with a 12″ due out on Public Information later this year.

Tonight’s show features a local Bristol crew know only as The Real NSK. They are a rabid band of disruptive creative types who have assembled en mass to bring a new dimension to a music scene suffering from chronic mediocrity. The Real NSK are mainly Tom Tetley (of The Mother Beef fame), LL Brainwashed, Cyclops, Jesus, Anakissed, Dot.com and anyone willing to lower themselves to their subterranean level. Prepare yourself for a journey of self-less discovery…and to quote LL Brainwashed, “Adapt and survive”.

WARNING: Contains Strong Language and scenes of a sexual nature.
