Brad Slyde, Heavy Rotation and Heavy Disco Montreal. Different kinds of funky. Deep, dirty, underground dance music. Heavy disco dub and jackin funk house. Electric boogie and cosmic rhythm mixed and sliced for broadcast on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal Canada every Friday morning from 6-7 AM. A 15 year veteran of the Montreal club scene, Brad Slyde has been tearing up the airwaves on CKUT 90.3 FM for 8 years with his weekly Heavy Rotation show while breaking new ground in online digital broadcasting along the way. In 2003, with the help of an experimental archiving system and a mailing list, Heavy Rotation became one of the first mp3 radio shows on the planet, predating the podcasting phenomenon. As interest in the show grew, it began to take such a heavy toll on the radio station's computer systems that Brad was asked to stop his internet experiments. Now hosted on www.discobreak.com the digital version of Heavy Rotation reaches over 15,000 listeners around the world each episode and continues to broadcast on 90.3 FM every Friday morning to Montreal and the surrounding areas. An extremely versatile club DJ, Brad has performed alongside turntable masters like Q-Bert, Z-Trip, or Ninja Tune's DJ Food, as well as appearing at events with Frankie Knuckles or Mark Farina. He's worked with the biggest legends in dance music history, throwing parties with David Mancuso and Nicky Siano. The Montreal Mirror voted him one of the city's "Best Kept Secrets" and Urb Magazine in California has called his mixes "genius". Brad has released vinyl on Vancouver's Futuristic Funk Recordings and been recruited by UK record labels like Tummy Touch and Bear Entertainment for his editing work. Brad Slyde is now a Saturday night resident at the legendary Salon Daomé club in Montreal where he holds his successful ((( HEAVY DISCO ))) events every 2 months. |
