  Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Freshest Sounds podcast with me, your host,
• 0:17
  Ross.
• 0:17
  And it is good to be in the studio here at the generator in New Islington at Royal Mills.
• 0:23
  So before we get into the music and everything, I'm gonna briefly talk about the generator,
• 0:29
  what it is, where it is, and what it has to offer.
• 0:32
  So, basically, the generator is here for anyone who is a start up business.
• 0:38
  Now they have two locations.
• 0:40
  The first location is where I'm at now, which is New Islington Royal Mills, and it's just on
• 0:48
  the outskirts of Piccadilly.
• 0:50
  So if you are in the Manchester area, it's not too far to travel to or anything.
• 0:55
  You can get the bus down or the tram down and tell it to you, or you can even get the train
• 0:59
  down as well and then just walk up a little bit.
• 1:02
  So the one I'm at is at New Islington.
• 1:05
  That's a tram stop you get off at, and then you walk down, cut through the canals and
• 1:09
  everything, and then it's just there.
• 1:11
  If you know Co op Live, then you'll know New Islington as well.
• 1:15
  So that's that location, and they have a location in the center of Manchester as well.
• 1:22
  So that is at Saint Peter's Square, and it's a town hall extension.
• 1:27
  So there's at the moment, there's a fence there, and you've got the homeless people in
• 1:33
  the tents.
• 1:33
  So you walk straight down as if you're walking towards the old library, and then it's just a
• 1:38
  right.
• 1:38
  And then you go into some double doors that open automatically, and then it's just you
• 1:43
  right there.
• 1:44
  Go in, and you will be greeted by someone on the desk.
• 1:48
  The staff in here are absolutely amazing.
• 1:50
  They're so friendly.
• 1:52
  And once you come in, you'll get shown around, and you'll get shown all the different types of
• 1:57
  equipment and the space that they have to offer as well.
• 2:00
  So if you are a start up business in Manchester and you're seeking some advice and some help
• 2:07
  with your business, I would urge you to come to the generator and speak to them because they
• 2:13
  have tons and tons of advice to give you.
• 2:17
  And it's free as well.
• 2:18
  So who doesn't love a freebie?
• 2:20
  So that is obviously that out the way, and we are in the month of Christmas.
• 2:26
  Yes.
• 2:27
  December.
• 2:28
  Oh, how I love it.
• 2:29
  How I love it with my sarcastic voice there.
• 2:32
  But it's it's one of them really, ain't it?
• 2:34
  You know?
• 2:35
  Some people love it for certain reasons, and some people dislike it for other reasons as
• 2:40
  well.
• 2:41
  And it's harder when you get older, I personally think, because, you know, you lose
• 2:47
  loved ones and everything in your family, and Christmas isn't the same without that special
• 2:52
  someone.
• 2:53
  Do you know what I mean?
• 2:53
  And, like, when I lost my grandma, it was it was the most hardest thing ever.
• 2:59
  Like, she was the glue of the family and everything.
• 3:02
  And when she passed, just things weren't right in the family no more.
• 3:06
  And I dreaded Christmas.
• 3:08
  But on a flip side, I enjoy Christmas as well purely on the basis of I've got a little boy as
• 3:15
  well.
• 3:15
  So, you know, he believes in all that sort of stuff.
• 3:18
  So I've got to keep the the Christmas spirit high, and, you know, it's all the sneaking
• 3:23
  around.
• 3:24
  And it brings you inner child out in yourself as well if you have kids.
• 3:28
  And you people watching and listening, you can relate to that a 100%.
• 3:33
  So another thing about Christmas as well is I'm a late Christmas shopper, mate.
• 3:37
  I've not even started with my Christmas shopping yet, and gonna be running around like
• 3:42
  a headless chicken, pulling the little strands here of my hair, what I've got left on my head.
• 3:47
  I'm gonna be pulling all that out.
• 3:48
  And, yeah, it's hard to get for people in my opinion because you know what they like and
• 3:54
  everything, and you're just there, like, rattling your brain on what to get them.
• 3:59
  And it's like, well, they've already got everything that they want and they need.
• 4:03
  What do you get them?
• 4:04
  Seriously.
• 4:05
  But, you know, you have them conversations, and it's like, mom, what would you like for
• 4:09
  Christmas if you could get a few things, you know, and just to see what they'll come out
• 4:13
  with?
• 4:13
  My mom is a sucker for Doc Martens.
• 4:15
  Anything that smells nice and pajamas, easy.
• 4:18
  But it's just just trying to find something nice in it.
• 4:21
  So yeah.
• 4:22
  Also as well, before we get onto the music, I've just remembered something that I've put on
• 4:26
  social media as well, and I want everyone to get involved in.
• 4:29
  So, obviously, when you're out dating someone, you know, it could be in a restaurant or it
• 4:36
  could be out and about on a nice walk.
• 4:38
  Whatever it is, whatever you're doing, like, flowing and something that he or she says
• 4:44
  sparks up as a red flag for you.
• 4:46
  Now I want everyone to get involved on social media, please, and I wanna know what your red
• 4:51
  flag is in someone.
• 4:52
  It could be the smallest thing, but it's a big thing to you, really, ain't it?
• 4:57
  You know what I mean?
• 4:58
  So it could be, for example, something like you've gone to a five star restaurant and
• 5:04
  they're rocked up in sliders and socks, and they just wear sliders and socks everywhere,
• 5:09
  wherever you go.
• 5:11
  Sliders and socks.
• 5:11
  Sliders and socks.
• 5:12
  Sliders and socks.
• 5:13
  So, yeah, that's not my red flag, by the way.
• 5:16
  I'm just saying as an example, you know, it could be yours.
• 5:18
  I'm not too sure what yours is.
• 5:20
  So if you'd like to get involved on the Facebook page, please do, or you can just type
• 5:26
  it in on the TikTok page, whatever.
• 5:28
  Whatever social media platform you use the most, just get involved that way, please.
• 5:33
  So what we are going to do is we are going to get into the music now, ladies and gentlemen.
• 5:39
  So the first song is one I have made myself.
• 5:42
  Yes.
• 5:43
  I make music.
• 5:44
  I know that may come to a surprise to some of you who's watching and listening.
• 5:49
  So my YouTube channel is r d o t t production.
• 5:54
  So it's r dot t productions, and this song is called standing ovation, and we are going to
• 6:03
  play it now, ladies and gentlemen.
• 6:05
  If you do like what you listen to, please like, share, subscribe, comment, and support the
• 6:11
  artists.
• 6:12
  So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, this is standing ovations by R.
• 6:17
  D.
• 6:17
  C.
• 6:17
  Production on YouTube.
• 6:18
  Here it is.
• 6:19
  R.
• 6:19
  D.
• 6:20
  C.
• 6:21
  Productions.
• 8:32
  And that was r.
• 8:34
  T production standing ovation on YouTube, ladies and gentlemen.
• 8:38
  I'm not really gonna say much on that because obviously it's my own track, and I thoroughly
• 8:42
  enjoy it.
• 8:43
  You know, it took me about three months to do that song and once I finished it, I was
• 8:49
  absolutely buzzing with it.
• 8:51
  I was so gassed.
• 8:52
  I was over the moon.
• 8:53
  I was like, oh, listen to this.
• 8:55
  Listen to this.
• 8:55
  And people like, have you done that?
• 8:57
  I'm like, yeah.
• 8:57
  Like, just to see the reactions and, you know, it's just so good, and it's heartwarming as
• 9:03
  well when people listening to your music.
• 9:06
  I mean, it's had 243 views on YouTube.
• 9:09
  So, you know, it speaks volume for itself, ladies and gentlemen.
• 9:12
  So if you have liked that song, please go and support me and subscribe to my YouTube channel,
• 9:20
  like the song, comment on it, all that sort of stuff because it helps the artist out so much.
• 9:26
  And I will say this from an artist point of view as well.
• 9:30
  We appreciate it because when you buy an album from Madonna, for example, she 's not really
• 9:36
  gonna notice you.
• 9:37
  But these people who get featured on the podcast, they appreciate you so, so much.
• 9:43
  And I will hold up my hands here and, you know, agree with what some of the artists tell me as
• 9:48
  well because it's, how can I say it, it's appreciated a lot more, and, you know, it's one
• 9:54
  of them really?
• 9:54
  So, yeah, if you liked it, please subscribe to it on YouTube, add up to your production,
• 10:00
  standing ovation.
• 10:01
  Give it a like.
• 10:02
  Give it a share.
• 10:03
  Go show your cousin.
• 10:04
  Go show your nan.
• 10:05
  She'll probably enjoy it as well.
• 10:06
  So we are on our next song.
• 10:09
  So the YouTube channel is Lil Babs number four ever, and this is real talk.
• 10:17
  Little Babs forever is a song title as well.
• 10:20
  So we are gonna play it now, ladies and gentlemen, and get back to you very shortly.
• 10:25
  Doc, go anywhere.
• 12:56
  And that was Lil Babs forever.
• 12:59
  Real talk.
• 13:00
  I thoroughly enjoyed that one, to be honest with you.
• 13:02
  You know, that's sort of my genre of music I would listen to.
• 13:05
  I'd say there is a bit of room for improvement there.
• 13:08
  So I think it was, like, one minute odd into the song.
• 13:12
  I feel like there could have been a more stronger male presence on the beat, and I think
• 13:18
  it would have made the song a bit more better.
• 13:21
  That's my personal opinion.
• 13:23
  So don't take it to heart and, you know, don't be disheartened with the feedback.
• 13:27
  But that's my personal opinion anyway.
• 13:30
  But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it, you know, and I hope you carry on doing your music and
• 13:36
  carry on sending it into the podcast.
• 13:38
  And we will feature you again when you're next sending your music.
• 13:41
  So, again, if you have just liked what you have just listened to, please go subscribe to them
• 13:46
  on YouTube.
• 13:47
  So it's Little Babs number four ever, and the song was called Real Talk, Little Babs Forever
• 13:55
  on YouTube.
• 13:56
  So up next, ladies and gentlemen, we have Jose Hoz.
• 14:02
  That's their YouTube name.
• 14:03
  Well, the YouTube name is Jose Hoz hyphen official, and the song is called rap ninja.
• 14:10
  And we are going to play it now, ladies and gentlemen.
• 14:13
  Again, if you like the song, please subscribe to him on YouTube.
• 14:17
  Like, share, comment, and go support him.
• 17:22
  And that was Jose Hoz, everyone, rap ninja.
• 17:26
  I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
• 17:29
  If he was watching on YouTube just then, obviously, you would have seen the video well,
• 17:34
  the visuals for the music video.
• 17:36
  And I always say if it's got a catchy beat or if the video is 10 out of 10, which that was,
• 17:42
  and I'm sure everyone on YouTube who are watching right now will agree with me as well.
• 17:47
  So, yeah, just absolutely lost for words on that one.
• 17:50
  There is a little bit of a description on his YouTube, so I'm gonna read it out for you.
• 17:56
  It says, Rap Ninja is a classic nineties boom bap storytelling rap, a story about a rap ninja
• 18:03
  who is a direct descendant of the Shaolin temple who is ready to fight for his place in
• 18:09
  rap history no matter the cost, resentless flow, and a beat that packs a punch.
• 18:14
  Juse Huss delivers a sonic experience that's nothing short of legendary.
• 18:20
  This audio slash visualizer takes you deeper into the world of rap ninja combining dynamic
• 18:25
  visuals with the raw energy of Juse's performance.
• 18:29
  Whether you're here for the bars, the vibes, or the artistry, this track promised to hit all
• 18:34
  the right notes for fans of enthusiastic hip hop.
• 18:38
  And I think he's hit the nail on the head there, to be honest with you.
• 18:41
  Saying all that, what he's put there, I believe everything I've just read out then was true.
• 18:48
  And, yeah, I don't think he could have worded that any better, to be honest with you.
• 18:52
  There is no room for improvement whatsoever on that song.
• 18:56
  I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I don't know if someone who is watching or listening right now
• 19:01
  will enjoy it as well.
• 19:03
  So if you did enjoy that song, he is called Jose Hoz hyphen official on YouTube, and the
• 19:11
  song was called rap ninja.
• 19:14
  So please go and show them some support.
• 19:17
  So up next, we have Deke official.
• 19:22
  So it's Deke hyphen official.
• 19:26
  That's his YouTube channel, and we are going to play Outlaw.
• 19:31
  So if you do like what you are about to listen to, please like, share, subscribe, comment, all
• 19:36
  that sort of stuff.
• 19:37
  Go show your friends, your family.
• 19:39
  Go show your dog if you want to.
• 19:40
  So, yeah, the official outlaw.
• 19:44
  Here it is, ladies and gentlemen.
• 21:24
  The coppers try to flag me down.
• 21:26
  Blue lights on, no festal case.
• 22:34
  And that was outlaw by deak official.
• 22:37
  I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed that, and I'm sure someone listening and someone who is
• 22:40
  watching right now also enjoyed it.
• 22:43
  I can't say there's room for improvement on that song whatsoever.
• 22:46
  You know, everything was there for me.
• 22:48
  I thoroughly enjoyed it.
• 22:49
  I enjoyed listening to that song.
• 22:51
  So if you also liked what you have just listened to, please go and show the artist some
• 22:56
  support by subscribing to him on YouTube.
• 22:59
  Again, his YouTube channel name is Deak Official, so it's d e k and then official.
• 23:06
  And the song was called Outlaw.
• 23:08
  Please like the song.
• 23:09
  Share it onto your socials.
• 23:12
  Also, comment as well because it boosts the engagement on his YouTube channel as well.
• 23:18
  And, yeah, just show him some support, please, because these artists are upcoming music
• 23:24
  artists.
• 23:24
  They will be big one day.
• 23:26
  Let me tell you that for a fact.
• 23:27
  So if you do like anyone who you do listen to, please show them some support by, like I've
• 23:33
  just said then, liking, sharing, commenting, subscribing, all that sort of stuff just to
• 23:39
  show the artist some support, and they will appreciate it so much more than your Madonna or
• 23:46
  whoever you listen to on your Spotify playlist or your YouTube channels, whoever you listen
• 23:51
  to.
• 23:52
  So, yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are on our last song of the day, and this artist is called
• 23:57
  Infinity on YouTube.
• 23:59
  And the song is called Apostle of Apollo.
• 24:04
  And we are going to play it now, ladies and gentlemen, and get back to you after the song.
• 24:16
  Most of these people are not ready to be unplugged, and many of them are so inert, so
• 24:21
  hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight Living for the clicks, but the
• 25:12
  emptiness is laden.
• 25:13
  Trapped in the facade, it's a dangerous engagement.
• 25:16
  Behind the screen, you're just seeking connection, but it's a digital world, lit with
• 25:20
  shallow affection, self worth, tighter numbers, a pixelized Are you listening to me, Neo?
• 25:56
  Apostle of Apollo, ladies and gentlemen, by Infiniti.
• 26:00
  I, for one, thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
• 26:02
  You know?
• 26:03
  What he said in that song was absolutely amazing, and I don't think he could have summed
• 26:09
  it up any better because some of the stuff that he just said then, it's so true.
• 26:14
  Like, a lot of females nowadays are on OnlyFans and they call themselves content creators.
• 26:20
  And it's like, well, you're not really a content creator, are you?
• 26:22
  You just take pictures of yourself and video yourself.
• 26:26
  You know?
• 26:27
  So, yeah, hats off to the guy, and I, for one, can't wait for more of his music to drop, and I
• 26:35
  will definitely be subscribing to this person on YouTube.
• 26:40
  So that's it, everyone.
• 26:41
  That's the end of the show.
