12. Jayme Marques - Berimbao
13. Souldrummers - Space And Time

I really enjoyed this one and I’m pleased with how it turned out. Thanks to Susan and Speedy for having me back.

I recorded my second radio show of 2023 live at the Clyde Built Radio studio at the weekend. It was great playing records there on a sunny Sunday with the clocks just gone forward and the Barras buzzing as it hosted a Hong Kong street market.

This month I went for a set of reggae, electronics and other assorted good vibes.

Listen to the show on Soundcloud.

Here’s the tracklist:

1. Mali-I - Next Level Intro
2. Robert Ffrench - You are so special
3. Radio Trip - No Oud
4. Lucas Croon - Japon
5. Babeth - Orchestra Reggae
6. Tyrone Evans - Rise Up (Version)
7. Gateway Shuffle - Snapping
8. Cloud - Moon Rock
9. Azura - Theme from Azura
10. Visage - Pleasure Boys
11. Romaal Kultan - Meditate
12. Language - Tranquility Bass

Thanks to Amy for arranging, and to Matthew, the engineer on the day.

Having pre-recorded previous shows, I recently made a first visit to Clyde Built Radio’s station at the Barras market for a live show and really enjoyed it. It’s such a great location and it was a nice change to spin records on a Sunday morning.

I started off gently with atmospheric music from Detroit’s Ian Finklestein followed by a modern take on Steve Reich from Bitchin Bajas. From there it was into some hazy electronics and a dash of 80s boogie before landing on sounds from house music legends Abacus and Larry Heard.

Listen to the show.

Here’s the tracklist:

1. Ian Finklestein – Ago-ra
2. Bitchin Bajas – Amorpha
3. Isotope 217 – Audio Boxing
4. Coral D & PST – Send it
5. Komiko – Feel Alright
6. Visions of Tomorrow – Galaxy
7. Wheelup – Infinity feat. Abacus
8. Cy Gorman – Dewy Drip
9. Peech Boys – Don’t make me wait (Dub)
10. Purelink – Dozen Sunbeams (Nice Girl version)
11. Abacus – The Lower End Theory
12. Ossie – I hurt you
13. Fingers Inc – Bye Bye

Thanks to Amy for the invite, and Brandon, the engineer on the day.

Lovely radio show including an interview with @firecracker_rec and mix from @WeeDjs.

I really enjoyed the chance to pull together reggae, dub and dancefloor favourites (old and new) for the mix. Cheers for the invite, Vicky!

You can catch Vic’s Sunday Soundclash on the first Sunday of each month at 2pm on Radio Magnetic.

Magical sounds in the mix, from Auld Reekie’s finest.

Other Lands consistently plays amazing records.

He’s also been cultivating a quirky but cuddly radio voice which, combined with the heartfelt electronic sounds, makes for a warm and fuzzy listen.

This two hour show is notable for featuring lots of amazing music from Glasgow and Edinburgh, including tracks by Being, Lord of the Isles, a cut from the Off-World Transmissions LP on Invisible Inc, and a preview of the forthcoming Mac-Talla Nan Creag sequel on Firecracker.

Gav also plays both sides of the new Nuclear Family EP and I'm chuffed for our record to feature in this company.
