Playlist: Random Record Crate # 23

It’s been a while, but from time to time I put together a playlist based on random selections from my record collection – random, in that I just look at the back covers and pick a song, sometimes the most obvious song, sometimes the least-recognised, or less obvious tunes…I just reach into a crate (a […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 22

From time to time I put together a playlist based on random selections from my record collection – random, in that I just look at the back covers and pick a song, sometimes the most obvious song, sometimes the least-recognised, or less obvious tunes…and now it’s time for another one, bits of jazz, some folk, […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 21

It’s been a while – so it’s time now for another Random Record Crate playlist…and looky-here, our Random Record Crate is all grows’d up; 21 even. (Well, actually it’s odd – well, not THAT odd…) The aim here is just to look through the crates and pick some songs from albums and make something that […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 20

Time for another Random Record Crate playlist – this one comes from, well, a random record crate – a bunch of things I’ve been playing lately, or meaning to play lately, some of the last stuff I DJ’d before I went away, some new records recently purchased and some old favourites I’ve played over the […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 19

Time for another Random Record Crate playlist – this one is formed around some of the records I’ve bought on holiday and some of the music we’ve car-tripped to…there’s only one rule with the Random Record Crate playlists, you take a bunch of records and flip through them, at random – pick one song from […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 18

I figure it’s time for another Random Record Crate playlist. This one is based around a recent/ish DJ Set where I played some records before and after a (terrific) set by Ed Kuepper. It certainly counts as a random record crate though – I really had no idea what to play or if anything would […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 16

Time for another playlist – a Random Record Crate selection – although this one is based off a DJ set I did just the other week. Still, it was a random selection of records – just chuck a bunch in, fill a crate, hope it works – that’s the philosophy. I reckon it came out […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 15

Time for another playlist – a Random Record Crate selection – although this one is based off a DJ set I did a few years ago, the notes from that keep popping up on my Facebook page so I thought I’d make a playlist based on it. Some good listening for you here I reckon […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 14 – Special Edition, Oscar’s Crate (2)

Here’s another “Random Record Crate” for you – and another from my three-year-old son Oscar. He had so much fun choosing the last one that he decided to do it again. He copies me when I’m filling a crate to take to the pub. He tells me he’s “the DJer” and that he’s “doing the […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 13 – Special Edition, Oscar’s Crate

Another “Random Record Crate” selection for you – this time it’s Oscar’s selections. Well, I’ve picked the tunes from each record – but he picked the records. He’s pretty keen on curating a crate; usually it’s about the look of the record cover for him. Though he definitely recognises his favourite LPs already. He’s three […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 12

Tidying up the records again – and decided to make another wee Random Record Crate-assisted playlist for you. So here’s a few songs – goes a little bit all over the place here, but lots of nice blues, funk, and northern soul gems. And some 80s pop (as always). I reckon this one should play […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 11

Lots of records in crates on the floor at my house currently – a few DJ nights in quick succession has meant the records haven’t quite made it back onto the shelves (in some cases anyway). A lot of in and out and a few of the old staples are best left in a crate […]
