Bside Incoming: Tiptoes

Bside Incoming: Tiptoes The re-upload marks the 14th Bside brought to you since the start of Scottish quarantine, and provides another chance to find some fresh music as we take a journey through the record bag of Glasgow based producer and crate-digger TIPTOES. The whole episode is infused with the kind of deep rhythms, moody chord progressions, and jazzy interludes that you can be sure to expect from his productions: Tiptoes popped up on our radar with his recent EP Rhythms & Solos, released on Nómada Records : The record label and jazzy collective featuring one of Bside’s favourite artists, Felipe Gordon. Safe to say we have a lot of time for his punchy remix of Tiptoes jazzy title track. (https://soundcloud.com/…/tiptoes-rhythms-solos-felipe-gordon). But he’s long been a proponent of deep house grooves; his 2011 debut album (under his name Dominic Martin) ‘Family Affair’ on the highly respected LostMyDog record label thrust him onto the scene with some of his tracks being graced by the decks of Kerri Chandler, Milton Jackson, Eats Everything, Mosca, DJ Spinna, Mark Farina, DJ Sneak, and Maya Jane Coles. ( Here’s a personal favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch…). And in recent years he has also been pumping out some serious heaters under his current alias on Guesthouse USA, notably ’Steppin’ which has featured on an essential mix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leaGfBUzX4w). His most recent release 'Ruffcut' on Moment Cinetique carries some heat with strong vocals over deep and suspending chords. (https://momentcinetique.bandcamp.com/album/ruffcut) This Episode’s got it all; much loved classics from Soichi Terada and Kerri Chandler, hidden gems like ex-terrestrial’s downtempo electro, some wax magic with a Mr.G record at the ‘wrong speed’, a dose of rare salsa, and plenty of funk! Thanks to Molly Hickey for the beautiful artwork as always. www.instagram.com/mollyth.art/ Follow the instagram for updates/news/vinyl and general music chat - www.instagram.com/bsidepodcasts/ Follow the facebook here - www.facebook.com/BsidePodcasts/ *To put it straight - we had a shocker. While attempting to remove the previous file off one playlist and add it to another, we deleted Tiptoes' mix from Soundcloud all together. It was a truly heart wrenching moment as his mix was both up there with our favourites, and it had got a lot of listens and likes from you lot. So rather than just quietly uploading the mix again, we want to present it as we normally would - loud and proud.*
