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 # 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 # 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 # 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 […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 10

You know the deal here, from time to time I dig through the record crate and just randomly pick a selection of tunes to sculpt into a playlist. I say sculpt but the unwritten rule (though I guess now, technically it’s being written) is that I can’t plan the order, just listing one song after […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 9

It’s been a while since I’ve made up a Random Record Crate playlist – a bit of fun: the records are all over the place, no real order, just in shelves, in crates. And with being in and out of late, DJ sets and such, it’s fun to look through a random selection and make […]
