Episode 9 - Rebecca Vasmant (Worldwide FM/Glasgow Jazz Experiment) & Patrick Pothul (Handpicked)

Talking Feet

For our 9th episode, we invited two locally based DJ/Producers into the studio - Rebecca Vasmant and Patrick Pothul. Rebecca juggles a busy DJ schedule with a slot on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM and production with Scottish National Jazz Orchestra trombonist Chris Greive in Glasgow Jazz Experiment. Patrick also DJ’s regularly across Glasgow and runs the Glasgow-based Hip Hop label, Handpicked.

Aside from their involvement in running labels, club nights, radio shows and producing music, They’ve been friends for a number of years in Glasgow. They play together a lot as well we knew the camaraderie between these two would make for some great listening. They discuss early forays into Glasgow’s clubbing culture, fond memories of the now closed but much loved Soundhaus, their various creative projects and breaking through different genres of music in a city known for it’s love of House & Techno.
