under_score are proud to present a special DJ set by Cardiff techno legend DJ Guy (aka Guy Evans). DJ Guy's backstory is a fascinating one - a talented DJ and producer with years of experience, Guy was plucked from relative obscurity with a recent release on highly regarded Glasgow based label All Caps.
The resulting'20' 12" issued in April, tunes into the same raw, hotwired energy as Carl Craig's classic Psyche/69 recordings. All spiralling synths, dusty drums and warm chords, recorded live using a bedroom studio set up, straight to cassette. It's staggeringly how tracks this good have remained unheard for nearly 20 years and pack a visceral thrill that is often missing from so much modern dance music.
If Guy's productions are until only recently receiving attention, he was a major force in the Welsh capital's underground music scene, playing out weekly from 1990 to 2003 and holding down residences at popular clubs such as Valentino's and the Tom Tom Club. Noted for his virtuoso mixing style focusing on beat-matching elements, working both tracks to the bone in order to create the often elusive"third record". Transforming tracks by blending them together, creating infinite combinations and real-time live remixing on the decks.
