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.
Listen to the show on Soundcloud.
Here’s what I played.
- New Order – Confusion (instrumental) – Factory
- Karen Young – Hot for you (dub two) – Sunshine
- Benedek – Doodat - L.I.E.S.
- Newcleus – Cyborg Dance – Sunnyview
- Neil Landstrumm – Sahara – CPU
- Candy Flip – Evolution – Debut
- EVM128 – Fling Foot – Self-released
- Plaid – Slice of cheese – Black Dog Production
- Joe – Rej Bit – Hemlock
- The Speaking Clock – Kim was off sick – Self-released
- 808 State – Ancodia – ZTT
- Thelma Houston – You used to hold me (Dub) – MCA
- World Premiere – Share the night – Epic
- Dee-lite – What is love? – Elektra
- Telex – Raised by snakes – Razormaid
Fun fact: the last show in the station before me (Somewhere in between) finished with a foreign language version of David Bowie’s Modern Love… and then the next show right after me started with Modern Love (original)! Spooky.
Cheers to Speedy, Charlotte and the rest of the RBV crew for having me.
