A fun selection of music today... Sam delves into some deep house from Butter Sessions' 2016 compilation Domestic Documents Vol. 1 - a lucky find from Real Groovy! As well as some Dunedin Sound, with Fazed on a Pony - who played a lovely show on Saturday at Whammy Backroom. See you all next week!
💚 Thank you as always for tuning in, it's a special special time entering the studio each and every time.
So the weather is warmer and I'm one week further away from the aggregious mispronunciation of a musical icon live on air. Strap in and buckle up for three hours genre fluid goodness.
Kicked it off with some Brian Eno, slid round from Cotton Jones to Burial took a short flight to Somalia for some Dur-Dur Band played the wrong David Bowie track. Had Molly ask if I'd stolen their A.R. Kane record. And got slightly wonky with some DLR, Tim Reaper, Sully and Peverelist.
See y'all next week, same time same place. And if you like the show, here's a playlist for it (but if you really like it please consider avenues that provide more than 0.000000000001c per stream) xx 💚 -Eli~
