Kana’s first podcast: City Lights featuring Justin Margovan
The Kana Show has been remodelled, reshaped, re-jiggled, and returns to you in an all new format – you guessed it – a Podcast!
The new face of Kana will be this “Kana Cast“, this way we will be able to maintain a regular weekly show without any interruptions from bandwidth drop outs and deliver exactly what you want – top quality shows from amazingly talented and passionate artists!
If you like the show, tell your friends, tell your colleagues, get everyone involved! Subscribe to Kana in your favourite document reader or just subscribe to the Podcast in iTunes, its that easy to stay connected with the Kana sounds and happenings!
We are commencing a new mix series entitled “City Lights”, Leo Hede started things off in a very special a couple of weeks ago which you can find here, and will find on Kana and iTunes in the coming weeks.
But, for our first Kana Cast we would like to re-introduce you to the deep, hypnotic stylings of Justin Margovan. We asked Justin to prepare something very special for our listeners to capture the depth and drive of his musical passion, this is what he has to share with you, I think you’ll agree it is something very worthy indeed.
“I wanted to do something different than a complete full on dance floor mix. Areas of it still have that vibe but it was aimed so that people can listen to it on their mp3 players, at home when they are warming up for a night out, or even when they get back after a club. There’s dark parts and light parts with some subtle, and not so subtle, energy changes. I hope you all enjoy the journey.”
A little about Justin:
As an artist playing and making music, it’s easy to boast your achievements and credentials. Justin would rather let you listen and decide for yourself. A dedicated student to his craft, this guy is constantly evolving his skills and never fails to put on a show.
He’s been Djin since early 90s and just getting round to releasing some tracks.
Here’s a studio mix for you all to enjoy and it explores the darker side of his passion.
Thanks for listening,
Kana

How do I download Multiple Links from the Web?
Say for example, your friend had created and uploaded a promotional music video with Rapidshare, that was split into parts. There were 60 parts at 90mb, this adds up 5400mb. Thats far too big to sit there with a free Rapidshare account and waiting for the adverts and time delay before downloading….yawnzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
So you would be aware of, and most probably already have, a Rapidshare Premium account.
They are not much.. 7 euros for the month…you can always check for yourselves. Its my personal choice providing very quick download rates 
Now, you want to download all of them without sitting and clicking each link and saving it to your HD.
There are a number of ways but Im only going to highlight one which works best for myself on my MacBook 10.5.6.
The program J Downloader is completely free and performs very efficiently and totally stress free.
“JDownloader is open source, platform independent and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com – not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don’t pay. It offers downloading in multiple paralell streams, captcha recognition, automatical file extraction and much more. Of course, JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many ‘link encryption’ sites are supported – so you just paste the ‘encrypted’ links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files.”
Install the software and immediately when its opened, looks fairly simple and very similar to the Limewire setup.
- To set up your maximum download rate via your Rapidshare Premium Account go to the ‘Premium Hoster’ Menu tab at the top.
- Choose whatever host necessary…..in this case Rapidshare.com.
- Go to ‘Configuration’ and a new screen will open.
- Click the ‘Premium Settings’ tab and tick the ‘Premium Account #1′ this will activate, type your login details and password from your own personal Rapidshare account.
- Click the ‘Get Status’ Button and bam! If your details are correct it will highlight green and in the far right box should say ‘Account OK’.
- Click ‘OK’ at the bottom and that will close.
To add your links,
- Go to ‘File’
- Add – Add links
- Copy and Paste the links from your email or webpage. (For all the numpties who dont know how to do that…..draw a box with your mouse over the links they will highlight. Then press and hold ‘Apple Key’ on your keyboard then ‘C’ then go back to J Downloader and press + hold the ‘Apple Key’ then ‘V’)
- Click ‘Add’
A new box will open again.
- Name the Package
- Create a folder where you want it to be saved.
- If there is a password for the archives add that too because as an option (Clicking the ‘Extract’ Tick box) J Downloader will unpack the files automatically after the download. Clever hey?
- Now click ‘Accept All’ at the bottom and thats it!!!
J Downloader will start downloading the links.
You can set how many downloads at once and maximum download rates at the bottom of the link list page. Whilst checking their progress
I set mine at 1 and the highest rate possible download rate for your internet provider.
Its handy because you can do this before you hit the sack for the night and in the morning, the unpacked fresh inspirational music video will be ready for you when you wake!

His new label, in partnership with Claire Ripley, kicked off to a great start at the end of 2008 with great releases from Harnessnoise, Sona Sound and more recently with Border Communiy’s Avus. If you like laid back grooves or enjoy the deep hypnotic rhythms of minimal through to chugging tech house, breaks and techn, then Richard is definitely someone to look out for.

BIO:
Originating from Maidstone in Kent, a town famed for generating an influx of talent currently flooding todays dance scene, Richard Belsom has established himself as one of the UK’s finest up and coming DJ’s/producers.
No stranger to the scene, his unquenchable passion for dance music stems from over a decade of treading the boards of various clubs and events across the globe. It was this passion that inspired Richard to combine his several years of classical music training with his love of dance music to fulfil a role that would place him on the other side of the turntables by becoming a DJ, producer, label partner in Cubism with Tony Thomas, and most recently starting his own Phobic Records label.
Richard’s love for mixing started back in ’95 at the tender age of just 16, spending every space penny on vinyl. After a few months practice Richard decided to apply his skills to a live audience and got a residency at a local U18’s party, this was to earn him alot of experience and learning opportunity over the 3 years he held the residency. Eventually deciding that weekends were far too cherished for the likes of u18’s parties Richard left to pursue his other main passion Рclubbing. This is where he discovered his love for house music, totally inspired by dj’s like Sasha, Digweed, Danny Howells.
Since finishing in the semi finals of the Rhythm Clash DJ competition a few years back (held in association with Pioneer and Club Class), Richard’s portfolio has seen him go onto play some of the biggest clubs and festivals in the UK and Ibiza including Ministry of Sound in London, Stealth in Nottingham, The Gallery at Turnmills, the Electric Gardens Festival (to a 3000 strong crowd), Es Paradis and Bar M to name but a few, as well as securing residencies with no less than four club nights across the South East, as well as promoting his own Cubism events.
This portfolio doesnt just end there, seeing Richards success story go on to include warming up for or playing alongside some of the worlds finest artists including Peace Division, Layo & Bushwacka, Tom Middleton, Paolo Mojo, Ashley Caselle, King Roc, Nic Fanciulli, Klaus “Heavyweigt” Hill, Tony Thomas, The Electric Press, James Mowbray, Deepgroove, Simon Baker, Simon Morell, Luke Dzierzek, The Rogue Element, Elite Force, Precision Cuts and many more.
Richard describes his sound as ranging from laid back grooves, deep hypnotic minimal through to chugging tech house, breaks and techno. He also incorporates 3 cdj’s, keyboard, and Pioneer FX unit to push the boundaries of his sets to a new level.
Main influences include artists like Sasha, Danny Howells, James Zabiela, Justin Robertson, Peace Division, Nic Fanciulli, Paul Woolford, James Laville, Dave Clarke, Magda, Josh Wink, and Lee Burridge to name but a few.
On the production front Richard is constantly in the studio experimenting with sound and creating tracks around the genres he loves. His work has been signed to many labels including Jack Digitals, Bass For Breakfast, Ambiosphere, Cubic Records, New Era, Click Recordings, Send Records, Cubism, Evasive, Fragile Recordings, S.P. Recordings and most recently Oliver Huntemann‚Äôs Confused imprint with a huge remix from minimal giants Piemont. Richard‚Äôs production work has recieved support from various topjocks across the globe including Nic Fanciulli, Hernan Cattaneo, Paul Woolford, Yousef, King Unique, Goldfish & Der Dulz, Nicolas Masseyeff, Oxia, Spektre, Larsson, Jamie Mchugh, Tom Stephan, Deepgroove (Who reviewed Rhythm in M8 magazine), Oliver Huntemann, Bedrock legend Pole Folder who recently featured “Surrender” on his radio mix (80hz Sessions), and Tony Thomas who has just featured Drums Go on his forthcoming Cubism mix album. Recently Richard also won a remix competition judged by Global Underground star Anil Chawla and Paul Lancaster, for his remix of Anil‚Äôs track Fever (available now on Fragile Recordings).
In May 2007 Richard went into partnership with Tony Thomas in the Cubism record label. After a year working on Cubism, and 10 very succesful releases, Richard decided the time was right to set off on his own path and Phobic Records was born. Phobic will be concentrating more on pure underground music from deep house, minimal and techno with the label philosophy aimed at bringing the freshest sounds from the worlds greatest undiscovered talent alongside some of the finest established names in the scene. Already gaining support from some of the biggest DJ’s in the world including Steve Lawler, Nic Fanciulli, Audiojack, Tom Pooks, Smokin Jo, Toni Rios, Anil Chawla, Simon Baker, Harvey Mckay etc etc the label is set for huge success in 2008 and beyond.

Kana Show #011 recorded 19th Jan 2009
Hi all,
Monday night was as usual a great response from all tuned in and commenting in the chat room. A bit more my sound this time, more tribal and solid late night tunes. Don’t forget if you’ve tuned in and are enjoying the music there is a chatroom on the main site which you will find me in chatting between mixes, sharing tracknames and just generally loafing around…good fun!
Heres the link to Monday nights show (With microphone on top this time… a little quiet in bits – oops!):
Tracklisting to follow later.
Respect & good times,
Adam

First show of 2009…wow!!! Kana Show #10
To all that tuned in,
I wish to extend a MASSIVE thankyou for the insane response to the monday before last’s show. From a brilliant beginning on The Alternative Show, through some very nice minimal with Martin Ash, and lastly the unrelenting audience tuned right to the end of my show 35minutes over at 10:40!!! Wow!
I had to literally take my hands OFF the mixer and watch the track run out as the chat room wasn’t going to let me leave! ¬†I haven’t seen so many people tuned in right to the end, let alone such enthusiasm to hear More Music!!
Best show i’ve done yet!! And that’s entirely to do with all of you who were there making for such a welcoming environment. Once again Kick106 shows its true colours and its quite obvious why I am still there!¬†¬†
Many thanks and if you missed it you can download it below (without the mic over the top).
Respect & good times,
Adam
