….falling out of a club in london bridge we waved a minicab (anyone old car that would stop) we drove far east into the night. It was going to be a loud one. Amongst the barren dock landscape we found the roundabout and spotted another cab full of revellers. “This must be it” no-one else would be here for no reason at this time of night.

Staggering into the entrance, lit by an oil drum fire, we enter a disused printing warehouse and are greeted with the boom of that now almost extinct idea, “the London Squat Party.” Harrassed by Police, Councils and mostly the ‘darkness,’ the once thriving scene has gone seriously underground or legit.

Splayed over the floor are beautiful colour prints in all shapes and sizes. Folk are helping themselves to the leftover paper supplies and in the middle of this mess is the rig. Dan has setup his buttoned boxes and leads in between 2 huge stacks of speakers. He turns around, looks me in the eye, presses a button and an all consuming bass floods out over the vast space.

This is the Hekate Sound System, which, for 10 years has ploughed an individual, fractured path of experimentalism. ResonanceFM celebrates this most genre defying collective with a Clearspot on Thursday 15th June. We will be airing more sets from 1-7am during that night. Friday & Saturday night also sees more new sets from the nofixedabode night and other friends of redZEROradio.
