In the run-up to this radio show I had recently moved house, so hadn’t had much time for new record shopping. I’m also approaching the big half-century. So it felt timely to go for a theme rather than a selection of new records. Since I was feeling nostalgic I decided to anchor the mix around some early inspirations (New Order and 808 State) and let it flow from there.

The second radio show of 2026 for me, in my new bimonthly slot.

I went for an atmospheric and dubby opening, before moving through the BPMs into slo-mo techno from Hoavi and beats from Sholto. Similar to my March show I included YAYA’s My Diner but this time the new remix version. I‘m loving those YAYA releases! The quirky acidic dancehall vibe and humour is really refreshing.

From there it was into some classic Wally Badarou on Island and soulful vibes from Sounds of Blackness.

A section of the front cover of the LP “past present (tone poems across time)” by Mark de Clive-Lowe. It depicts a scene in Japan where a businessman in a suit stands in front of the entrance to a traditional building or temple.

I was back playing in the RBV cafe window for the first time since 2023, and it was a blast!

For this mix I went from Japanese electronics and reggae into blissed out new Wah Wah Wino gear and my favourite from Tortoise’s amazing Touch LP, before an upbeat finale.
