Hybernation celebrates the start of his new residency on Fluid Radio this friday evening at 7pm. This rather special 2 hour DJ set recorded live at this years Boundless Festival was commissioned by Steam Control. You can tune in here.

Fluid Radio is a site playing the very best in deep, melodic electronic sounds. The vision for the station is to be a universal project that allows listeners, artists, producers and promoters to be completely involved in the growth and direction of the project. Fluid is a space for celebrating the beauty and diversity of chillout soundscapes. A space to share in the creative process and spread the experience of inner exploration through musical expression.

Hybernation has 2 releases so far on Rednetic and Paperscissorstone with two more releases due later this year on Rednetic and Smallfish.
