Tam Yeung presents his fourth show, Scientific Sound Radio Podcast 267, on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian and international electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform.
Tam Yeung, whose real name is Tim Young, is a DJ from Essex in the United Kingdom who was living in Da Nang, Vietnam at the time of publication. His musical influences include Techno, Experimental, Electronica, Hardcore, Electro, Ambient, Metal, Jazz, Folk, Disco, Funk and many other styles.
Tam began DJing in 2004 at the semi-legendary, moderately infamous monthly Club Clor events at the Brixton Windmill. The parties featured bands and DJs, earned a fearsome reputation for people letting their hair down, and saw Tam play tracks outside the norm.
He has played in several countries through a mixture of talent and fortitude, including squat parties in Berlin, beach bars in Malaysia, Thailand and Malta, underground venues in Poland, techno clubs in Moscow and breweries in London. Tam has also been part of DJ crews and residencies in Aberdeen and London, playing everything from hard disco to soft industrial.
In Da Nang, the pandemic interrupted Tam’s hopes of playing psychedelic sounds for open-minded ravers. It instead brought his crate-digging efforts to the airwaves, where he shared sounds of science with listeners in Asia.
Tam Yeung’s fourth Scientific Sound Radio Podcast show opens with Ninos du Brasil’s Algo ou Alguém Entre as Árvores, an Alternative selection on La Tempesta International, before Dengue Dengue Dengue! and Penya bring the Tribal percussion of Pua from On The Corner Records. The pairing establishes a leftfield start that favours rhythm and texture over a conventional club introduction.
Bass Clef’s Entendrillar brings Breaks from Magic + Dreams, while LFO’s Shut Down moves into Peak Time Techno on Warp Records. Four Tet follows with the Electronica of School, released through Text Records, keeping the early section exploratory.
Rhythm For Reasons’ The Smokers Rhythm introduces Drum and Bass from Soul Jazz Records. Osheyack’s Mutual Shaping on SVBKVLT and Mark’s Hot Desk Mix of Fucking Sick Of Myself Since Day One on Unterton return to fractured breaks.
Alessandro Adriani’s Storm Trees on Stroboscopic Artefacts brings Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) into focus. Regis follows with I See Fire from Downwards, extending that raw, deep and hypnotic techno pressure.
Nitzer Ebb’s Phil Kieran remix of Murderous, released by novamute, sharpens the peak-time techno approach before Skee Mask’s Trackheadz on Ilian Tape and Millie & Andrea’s Temper Tantrum on Modern Love sustain it. Underworld’s Original Instrumental Version of Born Slippy, issued by UMC, then brings Dance Music into the programme without losing its electronic focus.
Babylon Timewarp’s Durban Poison on Soul Jazz Records revisits drum and bass, before Aux 88’s Let It Ride from Direct Beat turns towards Techno and Galaxian’s Fuzzy Clouds Of Potential Existence on Ilian Tape returns to breaks. Cio D’Or’s And On from Telrae restores the raw, deep and hypnotic techno atmosphere, and Larajji and Brian Eno’s Meditation #2 provides the final selection.
