Gated Podcast is back once again, and this time we welcome Isey into the fold.
Isey began his foray into the breaks and drum and bass scene in late 90s Manchester, a time when going out involved considerably more effort and considerably less documentation. Since then, he has been busy championing music and local talent through nights including Commercial Breaks and Erase The Tapes, the latter alongside Node.
In 2021, Isey and his long time friend and co promoter Denis Phoenix were invited to host a fortnightly show on Eruption Radio. They have since celebrated five years on the station, serving up everything from reggae to drum and bass and presumably a fair amount of music that would confuse anyone looking for a sensible genre classification.
For Gated Podcast 73, Isey takes things in an electro direction, treating us to a selection of some of his favourite electro tracks from the last few years. Before we get there though, we kick things off with a few bits from the Gated catalogue.
If you fancy investigating further, head over to our Bandcamp and have a rummage through the shelves. There is plenty to get stuck into, and recent releases from Gated are sitting there waiting patiently for your attention.

A2 Paul Hierophant - Titans (clip)
Active in London’s electronic underground since the late 80s, Paul Hierophant has long worked in the space between techno, ambient, and dub, preferring atmosphere, tone, and slow-burn tension to obvious dancefloor tricks.
The Elder Gods finds him further out on the fringes of electro, where the synths loom large and the delay and reverb units are given a proper workout. The result is widescreen, ominous, and immersive.
The title track is a monolithic slab of rhythm where corroded synth pressure and ritualistic percussion feel less like a groove than some ancient machine grinding slowly back into life.
Titans stalks forward on a cavernous half-step pulse, all foggy bass weight and fractured metallic vocal echos, like dub techno that has wandered into darker mythological territory and decided to stay there.
The Hydra coils around a lurching low-end spine, its tentacular FX flickering and mutating while the groove stubbornly regenerates.
Works and Days rounds things off with a standout alien vocal loop drifting through pulsing bass and drums, lending the track a meditative feel that works just as well for late-night headphone sessions as it does in the deeper end of a DJ set.
This is an EP for selectors who like their electro expansive, slightly strange, and built for proper sound systems.
