The Strongarm Sessions has become something of an electronic institution during the five-years since its inception. Hosted from day one by DJ/Producer, Elite Force, the show started out as one of a small DIY cluster of shows on Nubreaks.com, graduating to a weekly throwdown on Breaks FM, and for the past two years has become one of the highest rated shows on Protonradio. A new show is broadcast roughly once a fortnight (2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 2pm UK time), with the archives appearing here the following day. These shows are available as MP3 downloads after they've been aired as either podcasts, and RSS feeds, or best of all TORRENTS.

So what to expect? Tech-funk is often used as the 'catch-all' term to describe what you'll hear - a unique blend of breaks, house, techno & electro and all points in between. The shows are three hours in length and routinely feature guest mixes from some of the (anti) genre's pioneers, and the previous five shows will remain available for download until the oldest is superseded.

To celebrate five-years of Strongarm Sessions, the website has had a complete redesign thanks to my old friend, colleague, and webmaster extraordinaire, Simon Lewin. A big shout must also go out to ChinaStylus for their tireless work on logo design & styling. The site is now easier and quicker than ever to navigate around ... and we love the way it looks.

Thanks, as ever, for the continued support,

12.06 ELITE FORCE | SPECULUM

For the penultimate show before the sessions takes an extended break over the summer months, we're dead pleased to welcome the mighty Speculum to the show for an induction into the dark art of filthy house music, for which they are quickly building a large following. Their set will be a live & direct mash-up of all things dirty. Add to that another hour-long exclusive mix from Elite Force and you can expect a broad range of cutting edge electronic tomfoolery, from glitch-strewn house to chunky electro and from the techy groove to the booming break.
