All Good Radio Show

Last weekend was the 16th year of the Big Chill Festival. The performances were great - I actually managed to miss very little compared to my usual festival antics.

My highlights:

live: mulatu
spoken word: ursula rucker
dj: mr. scruff 

This mix is a sum up of my memories of the performances, both live and on vinyl. It goes out to those who I camped with and to old friends I bumped into while there. Enjoy...

After a few roasting hot days in an office, I Wish It Would Rain quickly became my anthem of last week. A mellow intro leads into some 80s disco funk sounds. Then a few fresher broken beats tunes ease into some ambient reworks and soundscapes. I really enjoyed mixing this one, nearly as much as I enjoyed this weekend's parties afterwards... Big shout goes to the Kingsland Basin barge-dwellers and the All Ends Up party-goers! (and to my new ladybird friend that desperately wanted to sit on my records while i was mixing). Enjoy.

Usually I like to play a handful of styles each time I put together a mix for the show, but this time it's all about 80s soul.

It was only about ¾ of the way through recording this mix that I decided to call it ‘Part 1’...too many more songs that need to be payed.

Shouts to Charlie, Matt, Sherry and Jon for suggestions. Only 3 made it (sorry) but the others will appear in Part 2...
