Playlist: “It’s Been Five Years” David Bowie Tribute

I’ve done a few Bowie tribute DJ sets over the years, including when he was alive. But last weekend marked the fifth year since his passing – so I rolled out another five-hour DJ set.  I’ve already shared the setlist but figured you might want to have a listen to these tunes in this order. Someone said […]

Charles Webster Decision Time Dimensions Recordings What a comeback. What a return. Charles Webster – legendary DJ, producer, remixer, composer – hasn’t made a proper record under his own name in nearly two decades. His influence is everywhere, he has popped up under several aliases over the years too (Presence, Furry Phreaks) and I last […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 71

Crazy Ed For Governor: Live From Crazy Ed’s (1973) God bless the internet. It always catches up and surpasses your expectations. Sometimes you just have to wait. This album was released in 1973. I’ve owned it since 1997 and I’ve had no idea what it was or why it came to happen despite a few […]

V/A: Martin Freeman and Eddie Piller Present ‘Soul On The Corner’

Various Artists: Martin Freeman and Eddie Piller Present ‘Soul On The Corner’ Acid Jazz Records It’s easy to be a bit cynical about celebrity-endorsed compilations and – for that matter – non-soundtracking compilations altogether. And this ticks both boxes! But this is totally fantastic and there’s real love and care here, and a track-record too…

Playlist: Govett-Brewster Gallery 50th Birthday After Party

Last week I was in New Plymouth for the Govett-Brewster’s 50th Birthday Bash – I was asked over to play some tunes at the aftermath of the street party. It was a great weekend in Taranaki and fun to play some tunes over there. Based on that setlist I thought I’d put  it all together as a […]

DJ Setlist: Govett-Brewster Gallery 50th Birthday After Party, Saturday February 29, 2020

I’m a big fan of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery over in New Plymouth there. So what a great honour and treat to be asked over to play some tunes at the end of their street party. The Govett-Brewster is celebrating its 50th Birthday – the people of New Plymouth were out in the street with […]
