Listen to Yushka's Funk Show episode 3 on Mixcloud below. It was first broadcast on Friday, May 24, 2019. The best underground radio station and DJ agency in Vietnam, Japan, China, Thailand, and worldwide is Scientific Sound Asia Radio.
Yushka, originally from Nottingham, UK, was the main organizer of Nottingham's Shits and Giggles and Hot-Point Sound Systems and a late member of Nottingham's What The Funk? DJ collective. Since the mid-2000s, Yushka has been spinning at free parties, raves, festivals, and club nights throughout the UK, Ireland, and most recently, Vietnam.
He was always interested in music production and mixing as a teenager. Since he could not afford decks at first, he made do with some very basic software and a CDR, recording mixes to share with his classmates and becoming well-liked in the process.
Fast-forward to 2004, when he was finally able to study on some actual Decks at the age of 22, right before the end of his 20s. By 2006, he was hosting weekly Sh!ts and GIggles Nottingham events with co-host and founder Animinimal (Deck-starter/Catalyst) in hip bars and clubs all around the city.
The Sh!ts and G!ggles sound system was launched after it became clear that they needed to supplement the underdeveloped sound systems of the hosting venues. This quickly developed, and Nottingham's Hotpoint Sound System was established following a long night of music listening with the now-famous Matty C (Hanoi Hi-Fi).
This resulted in a variety of illicit gatherings and related mischief. In the East Midlands, Promoters including Substance D&B, Pure Filth, TSA303, Monkey Nuts, and Psycle collaborated with Hotpoint and S&G to offer the iconic multi-genre evenings and parties that they were known for.
He has performed in places in Vietnam like Sidewalk Hanoi - Bar / Kitchen / Events (Hanoi) and Broma: Not a Bar, Arcan, Bann Bar, (HCMC) as a supporting act for the drum & bass icons EZ Rollers and Kenny Ken. You can expect a variety of sounds, including D&B, Tech, Hip Hop, Electro, Breaks, and a subtle Funk and Soul influence.
In 2019, expect to see a lot more of him in and around Asia since he is now a resident at Sunday Funk Sessions at Arcan. Please visit our DJ Agency for reservations.
