XLR8R Podcast 178 - Oneman

XLR8R's final podcast of 2010 comes courtesy of the UK's Oneman (a.k.a. Steve Bishop), and it's a scorcher. The celebrated Rinse FM jock had a busy 2010 himself, most notably launching his own 502 Recordings label. Per usual, Oneman pulls from nearly every branch of the hardcore continuum, expertly weaving together disparate sounds and balancing new and unreleased cuts with select gems from his vault. He's been called a DJ's DJ, but that's not really fair, as Oneman is a true expert of the craft, someone whose influence extends well beyond the so-called "heads." This mix includes plenty of tunes that helped define the sound of 2010, but chances are that when we listen again a few months down the road, it will have also provided a snapshot of what's to come in 2011.

The Daily Street 001: Oneman

Oneman is in himself a bit of an anomaly... It’s pretty accepted that to break through as a DJ these days you have to be a successful producer or have a heavyweight dubplate collection. That’s why it’s so encouraging and unusual to see a DJ like Oneman rise to the top of the ranks without using either.
Pulling for his true love, old school 2-step and UK Garage, Oneman has firmly made his place in the UK through nothing other than tune selection and superior DJ talent.
Holding a weekly show on Rinse FM, he recently hosted the latest instalment to the greatly esteemed Rinse CD series – a very envious achievement for any DJ. The level of his talent is pretty clear when you look at his achievements … no other DJ can claim to have been on Mary Anne-Hobbs’ show on Radio 1 without releasing a single record!
