This is GOTTWOOD RADIO.

Gottwood Radio was the result of a four-way partnership between Melodic Distraction, NAM Sound System, Gottwood Festival and Audio-Technica.

A celebration of North West radio, local creativity and hi-fidelity sound at one of the best electronic music festivals in the UK all packed into a 40ft shipping container and shipped off to Anglessey.

Showcasing over 35 North West radio hosts and DJ’s alongside so many more artists across the line up, Gottwood Radio beamed out to festival goers and over 30,000 people tuning in around the world.

A project hammering home the message that collaboration is key.

Wide-eyed, poorly timed’, the debut EP by Liverpool-based Norwegian artist Maria Olsen is a deeply accomplished work. Atmospheric, intensely personal, warm and precise. From its cleanly complex production to the intimate lyrics, this EP radiates a golden glow that will emboss itself within each and every listener.

Make sure to check out Where Are The Girlbands article on the Melodic Distraction website as they review Maria Olsens debut EP!

There’s been loads of boss radio in September so far, so let’s take a deep dive into the team’s favourites…

On the first of the month, our very own @joshaitman had the incredibly talented @ni_maxine on Moving Through Music for some thought-provoking chat and tunes.

@albert0_giorgio graced the airwaves once again with his new series Shred It!, focusing on the incredible sounds of instrumental artists.

@dj.amberrose returned from Notting Hill Carnival with bucketloads of afrobeat, dancehall, bass, garage and energyyy!

Rolling through to Thursday, we had sick shows from @talking_drums_sound, @pyxidata and @classicjunglerollers, collectively spinning everything from balearic and disco to hyperpop and jungle.

Tuesday provided heaps of empowering black queer anthems and insightful chat from @koladetladipo, as @noiregayze returns to MDR – and it was a bittersweet farewell from @bradstank and @twoblinksiloveyou on their final Love On The Line show before Brad moves down to the Big Smoke 🥺

On Memory Control, @jamesbinary was joined by good friend and musical maestro @_dialect for some guest selections and friendly chat, followed by a throwback to @jacintadj___‘s banging Baltic Weekender set on Thursday The New Friday 💪

Finally, yesterday showed us two incredible shows with female DJs at the helm – @x_daiz_x spun allll the rollers with her Sun & Bass Festival special of Fri-Daiz, and this month @queensway____ rang in their 10th show with @isabellemettle, a singer-songwriter and producer who spun house, funky remixes and speed garage.

Rounding up another fiiiine week of guests! 🌞

On Wednesday, author of ‘Out of Space: How UK Cities Shaped Rave Culture’ (2022) Jim Ottewill (@jimio666) returns to guest on the airwaves. A music journalist, DJ and broadcaster with over a decade of industry experience, it’s always a pleasure to welcome Jim.

Later on, DJ NS is back presenting Part II on Congolese, Soukus singer, songwriter, producer, and dancer Koffi Olomide. Part I aired in June so you can listen back for a taste of what to expect!

Wednesday guests continue with Arab Music Masterclass and this month @lauramariebrown from @liverpoolarabartsfestival looks at Sudan’s music through the lens of Noori and his Dorpa Band's album Beja Power (Ostinato Records, 2022), a blend of modern soul, jazz, blues and country.

On Thursday, we welcome @4str0.wav, set to step away from her usual heavy clubby sounds and dive into the progressive, trap and wave tracks that really first got her into electronic music.

Equinox then returns with special guest and host of Traketeo on @steamradiomcr ATALAYA (@atalayafuego), whose work is currently focused on contributing to the UK’s newest wave of queer Reggaetón and Latin club rhythms. Promo photo by @sara_carpentieri_ as part of queer arts project queer.mcr

Then on Saturday, after an amazing MD show live from @gottwood, we’re joined again by Manchester DJ & @notbadforagirlmcr resident @itsthtgrl from 7pm!

That’s not all because each and every week our residents bring you brand new shows live and direct from the North West and beyond. What will you discover this week? 😱

On Thursday, we welcome @4str0.wav, set to step away from her usual heavy clubby sounds and dive into the progressive, trap and wave tracks that really first got her into electronic music.

Equinox then returns with special guest and host of Traketeo on @steamradiomcr ATALAYA (@atalayafuego), whose work is currently focused on contributing to the UK’s newest wave of queer Reggaetón and Latin club rhythms. Promo photo by @sara_carpentieri_ as part of queer arts project queer.mcr

Then on Saturday, after an amazing MD show live from @gottwood, we’re joined again by Manchester DJ & @notbadforagirlmcr resident @itsthtgrl from 7pm!

That’s not all because each and every week our residents bring you brand new shows live and direct from the North West and beyond. What will you discover this week? 😱

Rounding up another fiiiine week of guests! 🌞

On Wednesday, author of ‘Out of Space: How UK Cities Shaped Rave Culture’ (2022) Jim Ottewill (@jimio666) returns to guest on the airwaves. A music journalist, DJ and broadcaster with over a decade of industry experience, it’s always a pleasure to welcome Jim.

Later on, DJ NS is back presenting Part II on Congolese, Soukus singer, songwriter, producer, and dancer Koffi Olomide. Part I aired in June so you can listen back for a taste of what to expect!

Wednesday guests continue with Arab Music Masterclass and this month @lauramariebrown from @liverpoolarabartsfestival looks at Sudan’s music through the lens of Noori and his Dorpa Band's album Beja Power (Ostinato Records, 2022), a blend of modern soul, jazz, blues and country.

“What LA was to my father, Liverpool was to me.”

In place of this month’s Rhythm & Values article, @jordyblythe has the pleasure of speaking with Seun Kuti directly after his spine shaking headline set at Liverpool’s own @africaoye , the UK’s largest free celebration of African music and culture. Kuti takes the time to talk about his connection to Liverpool, Movement of the People, and the state of music as we know it.

Read the full article on the Melodic Distraction website and catch the monthly Africa Oyé show at 18:00 this evening!
