Btw - @luka ’s one will be more co-pilot than guest mix

I’m getting lazy with finding two hours of newish music each week - so I’m starting some guest mixes - starting with tomorrow night and Blue Tapes - lots more pencilled like Carl Stone, Bok Bok and @luka - give me shout if interested in doing one (I’m trying hard to avoid it being all men and...

Cabaret Voltaire were by far the coolest band I was into when I was 13 and Testone was a monster of a dance track

Yes agree with this - some dreadful filler track from a 1983 Depeche Mode tape which I've heard 1300 times vrs my favourite track from last year which I might've heard 14 times

When I get Alzheimer's, I'll still be able to mumble word-perfect every line of Rakim's 'Follow the leader'

I plunder tunes from here all the time for the radio show

A few drop outs when I’m babbling away to a turned off mic - but hey ho

Thanks for tuning in @sufi ! Here’s the listen back - has lots of plucky guitars (RIP Michael Chapman), Angolan troubadours, Peruvian experimentation, new Jazz, Libyan night fever, reggaeton and other slow chugging dance beats, autochoons, Carti, Sixx and Skip Spence and more footwork

The pristine recording of last night’s Stitch (and I’m pleased with the look of this patchwork) a varied Jamaican segment, some current footwork, ama, drill, and some brilliance from Zambia, Angola, Columbia and Senegal.

There's also the 'vocal science' thing in UKG - a chap called Bat coined that in the late 90s on uk-dance forum to describe the way producers were chopping up, mashing and stretching vocals in a similar way to how jungle producers were doing this earlier to beats (though to be fair, Neon...

been playing this lots - love Coke, Brik Pan Brik and Crocodile Teeth

I think his/the holy grail is to be Alexis Petridis - where your reviews slip seamlessly between 'debut from a five-piece kicking up a storm with their raucous live shows in South London' to 'the rapper, who dropped his mixtape last year...'

yes - the victory pub. I used to go there a few times and helped organise a little street festival there around 2004-08 (Ruff Squad once played!). Still sort of a cab drivers' boozer

Last night’s Crazy Stitch…Lee Perry features heavily (4 tracks) with other bits including new footwork, drill, zamrock, jungle, dancehall, trap, trad rap, soul, Sudanese pop, abstract noise, krumble and techno

I'm halfway through - it's great & deserving of the hype - Young Thug and co as morphed reptilian/amphibians - nice

To be fair you could live in pretty much any street in London and be in very close proximity to drill-listening, drug selling youts

Last night’s Stitch show ….a tale of two halves: first is a high tempo gegen-pressing mix of Afro beats, drill, footwork and baile; second, a more cagey affair with bursts of collage, flute, sax, strings, piano and some psychic rumblings.

Friday’s show, which ended up having quite an eerie feel with new stuff from Space Africa, L’Rain, Low, Joy Orbison, Moin, Blanco and Position Normal - and older stuff including Spaceman 3’s (ode to Rugby) ‘big city’. 1 Obeka Aye Gombey! 2 Tipper Ever Decreasing Circles 3...

I'm live

I have to back track on my earlier brazenness - I hadnt spotted the date/time and unfortunately my football skills are required in East London tomorrow night - and for that reason, I’m out….but make sure have a good time all and make him do a live performance of ‘it’s Greenwich‘ and commit to video
