16:09 - 25 years of Finger Lickin' with Jem Stone May 01, 2023

Show notes

It's the Silver Jubilee for the "world's greatest breaks label", Finger Lickin' Records and I had the immense privilege to chat to Jem Panufnik, one half of Soul Of Man and the founder of Finger Lickin' Records. We talk how he met Justin (the other half of Soul Of Man), how they signed some of the key figures in the breaks scene and also Jem's label Bona Fido.

This Saturday they are hosting a party in London featuring all the key players from Finger Lickin, including the Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts, A.Skillz, Drumattic Twins, Lee Combs, Slyde, Stereo 8 and Jessica Joy, alongside Soul Of Man. It's going to be one hell of a party and if you are there, go on buy me a beer.

Tickets can be found here:

16:08 - Left/Right, Skool of Thought, OnDaMike, AIRGLO, Bad Company, Andy C, Jengi and more... Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

After seeing Andy C play The O2, I think I am in love with drum & bass again. I have moments where I think it’s all fart noises, but there has been some quality dnb in my inbox. Loving it!!

Also want to mention the new Left/Right album. Sending a lot of love out to Chris, who unfortunately had his laptop and a load of equipment stolen from his car in San Fransisco. While I know a play on here won’t make up for the loss, I would like to say, I love his music, go support him by buying his album from Band Camp.

16:07 - Live from Brixton Radio : April 2023 Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

On Easter Monday I started my monthly shows on Brixton Radio. It was a lot of fun and while the microphone doesn't sound as polished as I would like it, it still was a great show.

Track list to come.

The next live show will be on May 31st at 6pm but until then, enjoy this one.

16:06 - Perfect Kombo, Leena Punks, Goldie, Plump DJs, Deekline, Natty Lou, Kanine, A.M.C, Pendulum, Solomon France and more... Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

While listening to some promos I discovered an EP by Solomon France. Man, this EP is something, just wasn't expecting the drop on the track 'Fall'. After obsessively playing this track for over a week, I have made it my 'track you need to know'.

Also this month we lost the legendary MC Fats. We pay tribute by pulling out some of his tracks from the archive.

Show notes

So Skrillex has not 1 but 2 albums out. He dropped a surprise album yesterday, although kind of knew it was coming... Firstly some of the singles he has released leading up to 'Quest For Fire' weren't on the album, and second he hinted he was releasing 2 albums on Instagram last year.

Anyway, the bigger question is, when he played Madison Square Garden with Four Tet and Fred Again.., who had M&S Mini Gingerbread Biscuits on their rider? Seriously I want to know!!

Oh and here is a tracklist for those who are interested.

Skrillex, Porter Robinson, Bibi Bourelly - Still Here
