Techno Darren Broomhead
Code Leeds Podcast#34 w/Sam Watson

This month's mix has been crafted by the talented Sam Watson.......

I have had a huge passion for all things Techno since the early to mid nineties and have been playing at party's and clubs all over the country including Birmingham's House of God, Uti in Edinburgh and Room 237 Bristol.
I have hosted as a resident DJ at a number of nights in Aberystwyth mid Wales which have included guests such as Surgeon, Paul Damage, Andrew Weatherall, Billy Nasty and Si Begg to name but a few. And for the last eight years have been a resident at the prestigious Freerotation Festival which has been voted Resident Adviser's top July festival 2 years running.

I have been producing and playing my own music since the late nineties Influenced originally by the likes of Surgeon, Regis, Paul Damage, Jay Denham, Claude Young and Steve Stoll, and more recently have been working on the slower funkier side of techno alongside my hard sets with influences from Sandwell District, Marcel Dettmann, Mike Dehnert, Smear/ Foreward Strategy Group and Jeroen Search.

My sets consist of a mixture of my favorite artists using three decks, two vinyl and one Cd deck, the Cd's being my own material exclusive to my sets aside from two releases in 2001 under Dr Watson, one on Complex records (Intergrale distribution in house label formerly run by Regis and Female) and a remix on Stevio's Mindtours label. And more recently releases on Trust Recordings and 6ONE6.
