Abstraction

Abstraction - blending beats and crossing genres.

About Me

..Abstraction is a an online radio show broadcast through web-based station Fresh Air out of Edinburgh.
The music policy is simply anything we like, which is quite eclectic: global beats, hip hop, disco, funk, house and anything with a little bit of soul.
Abstraction was founded by Alex Christou who was joined shortly afterwards by Ally Anderson. Ally came along to do a guest mix once or twice and soon became a permanent fixture. Toegther we have planned, produced and presented the show and focused ourselves on playing top quality music. For the last two years we have sporadically broadcast shows over the internet to a global audience and have offered our listeners the chance to hear exclusive guest mixes and interviews.
For us, Abstraction is about sharing our love of quality music with the wider community and we have been lucky enough to DJ around Edinburgh on numerous occasions, whether together or seperately. We have even got involved in community-related efforts when possible, from DJing at the Leith Festival in the summer of 2007 to "selling" ourselves for charity.
