The second radio show of 2026 for me, in my new bimonthly slot.
Listen to the show on Soundcloud.
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.
I seem to have fallen foul of some hefty compression affecting the sound in the latter half which is a bit annoying. My levels were in the safe zone but I’ll keep them even lower next time to avoid that happening again.
Here’s what I played.
- Omid Geadizadeh – My eyes drank water – Wah Wah Wino
- Adrian Sherwood – The collapse of everything – On-U Sound
- Sonia – Easier to love – Athens of the North
- Hoavi – Triad of becoming – Peak Oil
- Sholto – The Right Orchid – DeepMatter
- Keysha – Stop it! – Stroom
- Wally Badarou – Chief Inspector (Precinct 13) – Island
- YAYA – My Diner (remix) – Shinjuku tracks
- La Fe – 77 – xpq?
- Loose Ends – Hangin' On A String (Frankie Knuckles Club Mix) – South Street
- Sounds of Blackness – Optimistic – Perspective
- Telephones – Sensei (5378 Exchange Mix) – European Carryall
- Funk Masters – Love Money – Siamese
- Alexander Robotnick – Afrikan Kola – Medical Records
It was great to once again see some friendly faces in the café, too – Tom, Jason, Lydia, Paul, Richard and Miles. Cheers to the RBV crew for having me.
