This work was carried out by Bluesy, the audio-production identity used by Beta Check Hub’s founder. It is presented as professional experience behind the new consultancy, not as a current endorsement by the BBC, Channel 4, Dice Entertainment or the artists involved.

Project overview

Bluesy worked across Big Narstie broadcast and music projects, including Narstie’s Night Out for BBC Radio 1Xtra and production connected with The Big Narstie Show. The work combined artist and guest recording with programme assembly, music curation, mixing and sound for animated material.

The challenge

A personality-led programme has to feel spontaneous while still moving with intent. Guest recordings, speech, DJ selections, transitions, sound effects and visual material all need to land as one coherent show rather than a collection of separate assets.

Our involvement

  • Recorded Big Narstie and guest sessions for broadcast and related projects
  • Mixed programmes and shaped the running arrangement
  • Curated DJ mixes and integrated music, transitions and sound effects
  • Created, arranged and synchronised audio for animated material featured on The Big Narstie Show
  • Contributed to additional artist recording work, with Mario supplied as a public music example

Technology

Professional recording, editing and programme-mixing workflows were combined with music curation, sound design and audio-to-picture synchronisation for broadcast and artist delivery.

Design and engineering

The audio was treated as part of the programme structure. Speech, music, effects and DJ mixes were arranged around pace and continuity, while animation audio required sound design and timing that supported the picture.

Testing and delivery

The linked BBC page provides a public reference for Narstie’s Night Out, and an industry profile names DJ Bluesy among the programme’s contributors. Mario is publicly listed as a Big Narstie release on Apple Music.

Result and current status

The work contributed to completed broadcast programmes, animated show material, DJ-mix content and released music.
