party time this saturday!

26 January, 2012

Good morning party people!

Just a quick reminder that Bass[sic] is taking place this Saturday 28th January at The Cornershop in Shoreditch! We hope you can join us for what is going to be a cracking party chock full of banging beats and bouncy basslines!

All the info can be found HERE

Don’t forget to check out the Facebook Event Page

And make sure you check out this week’s Hubie Sounds Bass[sic] Special with a guest mix by club residents rejectbeats to get you in the mood for the party!

A quick venue update:

Due to The Cornershop making a temporary booking mixup, this Saturday Bass[sic] will be taking place upstairs in the bar on street level and not downstairs in the basement. But don’t worry, the music will be banging, the guest DJ lineup is still the same and of course entry is still FREE all night long!

We recommend you get down nice and early to ensure entry because with a temporarily reduced capacity the venue is bound to be rammed early doors! We look forward to seeing you!

Cheers,

hubie sounds gets funky

9 January, 2012

Hey y’all!

The first Hubie Sounds of 2012 airs this Tuesday night and I thought, in order to help chase away the January blues, I’d fill the show with funky beats and warm, soulful vibes. So yeah, ‘why not do a funk & soul special?’ I thought to myself. I haven’t done one for a long time so another one is well overdue really, I’m sure you’d agree!

You can expect to hear funky tunes old and new by the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Isley Brothers, James Brown, Featurecast, A.Skillz, Nick Thayer and many more!

The Hubie Sounds Funk & Soul Special – Tuesday 10th January @ 9pm UK time - live and direct on NSB Radio!

Don’t forget to come and say hello in the Chatroom!

For all the details, including how to tune in to NSB Radio, check out the Radio Show page!

I spose I should take a brief moment to mention Breakspoll. As I’m sure a lot of you are aware by now, voting for this year’s annual Breakspoll Annual Breakbeat Awards is now open. I’d just like to take this opportunity to say that if you enjoy listening to NSB Radio, we’d really appreciate your vote for Best Radio Station.

And of course if you want to show your support for Hubie Sounds by voting for the show as Best Radio Show, then please do! I don’t want to bang on about who you should vote for, I’m sure you’ve already made your minds up anyway, so I’ll leave it at that. We really appreciate your support though, so thanks very much.

no hubie sounds tonight sorry

22 November, 2011

Hi everyone.

Due to the previous show over-running, I won’t be able to broadcast Hubie Sounds tonight. Many apologies.

I’ve had a word with the show responsible about this and they have apologised and assured me this won’t happen again.

In the meantime, I will try to find time to record this week’s show as a podcast over the next few days. If I have time to knock it together I will post it up here, so watch this space.

Cheers,

taking a short break

23 August, 2011

Hey everyone!

I just thought I’d let you know that Hubie Sounds is taking a short break for a few weeks, so there won’t be a show this evening as originally advertised, many apologies!

But fear not, the show will be back on air on Tuesday 13th of September in full effect, so mark it in your calendar and we’ll see you then!

In the meantime, if you feel the need to satisfy your Hubie Sounds hunger, why don’t you check out all 34 of my archived shows in the NSB Radio Archives!

See you soon!

HUBIE SOUNDS facebook fanpage

19 May, 2011

One more bit of info for today!

Hubie Sounds now has a Fanpage on Facebook! Feel free to pop over and have a look and, if you do, please make sure you ‘Like’ the page too!

You can find it here: http://www.facebook.com/hubiesoundsradio

Apparently Facebook will be fazing out their Fan Groups soon, so the fanpage will eventually replace the Hubie Sounds Facebook group and basically act as a mirror of the info I post here on hubiesounds.com.

If you ‘Like’ the Hubie Sounds fanpage, you will be updated automatically whenever I post news and updates, so it is now even easier to keep up to date with all things Hubie Sounds related!

Cheers all!

breakspoll 2011 award winners

7 March, 2011

Happy Monday everyone

I trust you’re all feeling about as sluggish and broken as I am after what was most definitely an epic weekend of partying and celebration!

Yes that’s right, the Breakspoll Awards have been and gone for another year, leaving in its wake a trail of satisfied revellers and smug award winners – and rightly so. This year’s awards party was quite possibly one of the best in Breakspoll’s ten year history, and saw a wide range of award winners which included many new faces, proving to the breakbeat cynics that the scene is alive and well with plenty of hot new talent to carry it forward for at least another ten years!

The best news of all, of course, is that once again NSB Radio rules the breakbeat radio roost with yet another Best Radio Station award! Hubie Sounds would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who voted for us. We really appreciate your support, big ups to all of you! Here’s to another cracking year as the best breakbeat radio station in the known universe!

Anyway, here’s the full run down of the award winners…

Best Track – Hedflux – Mindcell
Best Remix – Freestylers – Cracks (Ctrl-Z Remix)
Best Album – Against The Grain Classics by Krafty Kuts

Once again, big ups to everyone who voted for NSB Radio. And extra special big ups to all of you who came down to Cable on Friday night and made it such a busy and fun night. We hope to see you all down there again in a year’s time!

Oh and while we have your attention, we’d just like to remind you that there will be no Hubie Sounds show this Tuesday night. However, we will be returning to the NSB Radio airwaves in a fortnight on Tuesday 22nd of March with a very special guest mix from Rektchordz, so keep an eye on this site for all the details in the very near future!

14 February, 2011

Hi everyone

As some of you are probably already aware, the spamfest that traditionally precedes the Breakspoll Awards season is in full swing! Now, I don’t really want to fan this already out of control brush fire with more vote pandering, so instead I just wanted to make those of you who haven’t a clue what I’m jabbering about aware of what will most probably be an excellent party hosted by the creme de la creme of breakbeat talent.

And Krafty Kuts (just kidding fella).

HUBIE SOUNDS will return in the new year

23 December, 2010

Hey everyone

I’d just like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a drunken New Year.

Hubie Sounds is taking a short vacation from radio shenanigans over the Christmas period and will return to the internet airwaves in the new year.

“But what will I do with myself in your absence O Mighty Hubie Sounds?!” I hear you exclaim! Well don’t go sticking your heads in the microwave Gremlins stylee just yet – the next couple of scheduled Hubie Sounds shows will be covered by some very talented individuals that you may well already be familiar with.

On Tuesday 28th December, the almighty Collins 303 will be returning to NSB Radio to cover the show, so expect plenty of eclectic beats in a seasonal mash up stylee. And then on Tuesday 11th January, NSB Radio’s very own Ali Mobius will be presenting a bonus episode of his excellent Mobius Trip show.

So I’m sure you’ll agree we’ve left the show in more than capable hands during our little hip hop hiatus.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy these shows and we’ll see you again in the new year. Keep an eye on this website for updates!

In the meantime, have a cool yule, etc, etc!

Hubie x
