Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Saleem
Title: DD0552
Style: Eclectic
Time: Minutes 152
Date: 2019-03-24
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This Sunday we close out our 5th year of Sunday Mixtapes and invite one of Scotland's seminal producers, one half of Sound Signals.... Mr. Saleem Andrew McGroarty, with a selection of musical inspirations and influences - the building blocks of his musical DNA.
"This is a selection of my Musical Inspirations and Influences, the building blocks of my Musical DNA.This selection is not just my favourite songs that I will listen regularly or will listen to lift or change my mood, but also the music that has had a deep impact on me, changed the way that I hear music, the way that I approach creating music and that changed me spiritually, for what is music if it is not an expression of the Soul?
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secrets of life, bringing peace, abolishing strife." – Khalil Gibran.
I hope that you enjoy my selection".... [[ SALEEM ]]

Tracklisting
Okay, so this playlist quickly became a huge amount of tracks to have to choose from. In order to stick to the remit of it representing my musical DNA, my musical roots I ended up having to choose more from the songs that had the greatest influence on me in my formative years. As you will hear there is a common theme, that of wisdom, understanding, seeking and exploring, love and positivity.  I hope you enjoy it!
1) Alive - Skindo Le Le
This song is to me everything a song should be. Positive lyrics, happy music, great arrangement and a great up tempo rhythm that ends in a crescendo. Great dance music! This is a song I put on when i want to lift my spirits
2) Kurtis Blow - If I Ruled The World
This is where the journey started! This is the first single, I ever bought. I remember going off from my parents upstairs to the Music dept in John Menzies on princess Street with a little bit of pocket money and buying this single. And I still have it somewhere, great tune!
3) The Last Poets - E Pluribus Unum
The Last Poets have been an incredible influence on me, especially being into Hip Hop, anybody who knows them will understand why. There are many songs i could have chosen, but this song in particular always reminds me of a good friend who passed away a few years ago Mr. Paul Reekie. This is a tune that we shared. He would often come up to me club and start rapping the lyrics to this song in my ear! He was a poet and a musician as well as a writer, he is sorely missed.
4) Rammelzee vs. K-Rob - Beat Bop
I remember first hearing this song, in the movie Style Wars. And ever since then, I've absolutely played it to death, it's one of those tunes you never get bored of. Produced by Jean Michel Basquiat, it features Rammelzee, one of the most eccentric graffiti writers, who was also a great rapper as. If you listen close you will hear where B-Real from Cypress Hill got his rapping style from. Amazing track and yeah one of the most down tempo and musical Hip Hop tunes ever!
5) Bobby Womack - How Could You Break My Heart
So, in my teens, I attended a club in Edinburgh called The Hooch. It was one of the greatest musical educations I ever received. The club scene in the late 80s was that Golden time where there was no genre division. You would find house music played next to hip hop played along next to jazz next to Latin and soul. But the last half hour was always the modern soul set. Modern soul has had one of the deepest and lasting impacts on my life. Aged 16 I used to go to the Blackpool soul weekenders and regularly go to soul all nighters and all-dayers, I don’t know why my parents let me do that! But, yeah, it's just wonderful music, always such a positive vibe and always good for a wee boogie!
6) Starvue - Body Fusion
So, in the same modern soul vain, this is a mid tempo number which just has amazing production, strings, vocals, everything about it is just perfect. Lush and sweet soul music.
7) LJ Reynolds - Key To The World
More modern soul. One of my favorite songs. Just a great vocal performance and wonderful production. Absolute classic!
8) Eric Morris & The Baba Brooks Band - Solomon A Gundy
To me, Ska is the greatest dance music, ever! This track in particular one of my own personal favorites. Mainly because of the lyrics! If you can't dance to Ska music, then I think maybe something seriously wrong with you lol!
9) The Temptations - Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)
My parents had a Temptations Greatest Hits album. It used to get played all the time when we were kids. So when I grew up I inherited this album from my mum’s albums. When i listened to it I was amazed not only by the music that people like Public Enemy had sampled from it. But I was amazed by the lyrical content as well. Ball of confusion is a song that is just as relevant now as it was when it was first recorded. Conscious Soul Music.
10) The Electric Prunes - Holy Are You
This is a slightly later DNA track but i feit it should be included it in this playlist. Over 20 years i converted to Islam and musically this track really conveys my own spiritual sentiments. Produced by David Axelrod it has banging drums, amazing production, a Hip Hop prototype with a spiritual message. 
11) John Coltrane - Acknowledgement
A Love Supreme. One of the greatest Jazz songs of all time. This is arguably John Coltrane's greatest recording and is his ode to the Divine. I discovered this album when I was fairly young, and it changed everything for me. Such an emotionally rich song, it is one of my Desert Island Discs. I never get bored of it and it always has a spiritual effect within me when i listen to it. 
12) Pharoah Sanders - Astral Travelling
My introduction to spiritual jazz before I knew it was called spiritual jazz was a compilation album called Red Hot and Cool, and even to this day, and is one of the best compilations of in the spiritual jazz vein. This song astral travelling was on rotation for so long! I would listen to again and again. It has such an mystical sound scape that totally consumes you. As a result, i became a massive Pharoah Sanders fan and collector, so many other songs could have been included in this playlist, especially The Creator has a Master Plan, but this song is probably  the song that I have listened to most so that is why i chose it.
13) Schoolly D - P.S.K. (What Does It Mean)
When I was at high school, I was given a tape of the first Big Audio Dynamite dynamite album by my friend Diarmid and i immediately loved it. Even though B.A.D. didn't make it into the playlist, their influence was huge. In 1986 at the tender tender age of 14 i went to see went B.A.D. at the Edinburgh Playhouse and supporting them was the beat boxer Sipho from the London Posse and also the rapper Schooly D from America. That gig changed my entire life. I was blown away! Here's this guy, jumping around the stage with a gold chain no top and just baseball jacket with his DJ scratching records with his Fila trainers! I love the sound, and everything about that performance. I went out the very next day and bought the first Schooly D album and became a fully fledged hip-hop addict! 
14) MC Mello - A Total Eclipse Of The Art
This song is by one of the UK's finest MCs. His first album, was a classic and listened to it over and over. It represents the best of UK hip hop.
15) Eric B. & Rakim - Move The Crowd
Rakim is my favorite rapper. He's one of the best lyricists and musically he was always ahead of the game. This song in particular was one of the first places that I ever heard the word Allah, and was to become an influence on my own spiritual journey. Great track, arguably the great emcee, classic material!
16) Public Enemy - Rebel Without A Pause
When Public Enemy released Rebel Without a Pause it changed everything! The Sonic imprint left on me remains to this day. That booming 808 and relentless sax loop, the raw powerful energy and Chuck D's attitude, perfect for a teenager!by all that energy. I remember buying this 12 inch and playing it over and over and over and over. Public Enemy and the Bomb Squads production, truly changed hip-hop forever.
17) Stone Roses - Fool's Gold
Running alongside all of this music of black origin is also my love for indie, folk and rock music. The Stone Roses were just one of those bands that came out at the right place and right time, everything about them was just amazing, great songs, great arrangements, great sound and vibe. I listened to that 1st album sooo much!
18) The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Before I discovered hip-hop. I would listen to the john peel show all the time, and he had a very eclectic taste in music. The Smiths were a band that i discovered through him and for me they were just the greatest band! Morrissey's lyrics and Johnny Marrs music was just the perfect match and can't be matched, everything they did was simply brilliant!
19) Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
So, the psychedelic 60s has also been a massive musical influence. I spent much of my teenage years listening to Woodstock Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and all that goos stuff. I'm not sure you could find a better song that represents the sound of the psychedelic movement that came out of America in the late 60s than "White Rabbit" total classic!
20) Nick Drake - River Man
The first time I ever heard Nick Drake i was left speechless, it completely blew me away. Not only was it amazing guitar playing, mystical songwriting and his wonderous voice, but the strings! Wow! What a full, warm, inviting, lucious wall of sound.
21) Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where the Time Goes
This is a song that i would like played at my funeral. Such ancient wisdom and understanding pulses through the veins of this song. Don't let time get the better of you. And Sandy Denny's voice is simply enchanting, absolutely wondrous!
22) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Qawwal & Party - Allah Hu (Live at Washington University)
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, what an incredible musician, a musical saint. To me Qawalli music is possibly the highest form of music in existence. Because it is devotional it has no ego involved the songs are offered up as prayers to the Divine. I remember first getting a tape of this album by Nusrat live in Washington it came at a time when I was exploring my own spirituality. It was the first time I heard islamic devotional music and the insight that it gave me is that one could be Islamic, and a musician.
I remember just constantly listening to it and getting lost in the vocal performance, the improvisation is on another level, the sophistication of the composition and interaction between the members of the troupe is out of this world.
The version included in this playlist is an edited version of the original 16 minute performance which would have been difficult to include, but I urge the listeners check out the full performance.
23) Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda - Journey To Satchidananda
At about the same i was listening to Nusrat i bought the Red, Hot & Cool compilation previously mentioned. On it was this track by Alice Coltrane. After buying that compilation i became a huge Alice Coltrane fan! Her music is sublime. Being the wife of John Coltrane obviously had an influence on her, but she was an amazing spiritual jazz musician in her own right and was also very spiritual being as well. This song was and is still on regular rotation and is really just so incredibly beautiful
24) Build an Ark - Peace With Every Step
This song is a later entry into the musical DNA. For me the lyrics really conveys a message of how I aspire to be as a human being. Written Carlos Nino, to the music of Stanley Cowell and sung by one of the greatest jazz singers alive, Dwight Trible. This is a song that i listen to when i need to re-centre, and remember where i need to be.
25) Stevie Wonder - Have A Talk With God
It would not be a proper DNA playlist without a bit of Stevie! Another album that was played a lot in our house when we were kids was "Songs in the Key of Life" In fact, the copy that I still play to this day is my mums. There are many songs I could have chosen from this album, but this one just seemed the right one for this playlist.
26) Ken McIntyre - Mercedes
This song, a later DNA entry, features John Mancebo Lewis on trombone, otherwise known as Hajj Haroon. A remarkable man, he was somebody who became a very close personal friend and mentor of mine. Without his guidance and encouragement i would not be the person I am today. I've included this song as a dedication to his life as he sadly passed away last year, may peace and blessings be with him. If you would like to know more about him please visit his website: mancebomosaic.com
27) Lonnie Liston Smith - Expansions
I first heard Expansions, as the Bass line and the Stetsasonic song  "Talking all that Jazz". It such a timeless tune, a Jazz-Funk Classic. It used to get regular play a club that I used to DJ at called "Chocolate City" Edinburgh's first funk club run by Jamie Byng, now of canongate press fame. After I discovered this Lonnie album I again became a total fan, buying all of his albums I could. I could have easily have chosen any song from any other album to showcase how great a musician he is, but this sound lyrically represents not only a theme in this playlist but also the theme that has ran throughout my life "Expand your mind, To understand, We all must live, 
In peace together." Spiritual Dance Music!
28) Stetsasonic - Talkin' All That Jazz
Hip Hop has been the strongest form of music in my life and this song lyrically represents so much of hip hop culture, just listen to the lyrics and it will give you an understanding hip hop culture. It is conscious hip hop, my most favourite aspect of the genre. This used to get played this all the time in the clubs such a great song to dance to such a great song to rap lyrics along to, it's one of those tunes that brings folk together
29) A Tribe Called Quest - Lyrics To Go
A DNA playlist would not be complete without a song from A Tribe Called Quest Sonically, musically, vibes wise they are my favorite hip hop group.When their first album came out, it was a game changer. Nobody was doing music quite like it. Even though the Jungle Brothers had started the Native Tongues that Tribe were part of (the Jungle Brothers could have easily been on this DNA playlist) when A Tribe Called Quest released their first album the musical landscape, language and idiom of hip hop changed for the better and it has never been the same since. I could have easily have chosen any song from any of the album, but this one for me just now is where i'm at today, it may be something else tomorrow. I love the clever use of the Minnie Ripperton sample, innovative, as the Tribe are!
30) Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe
I first heard Terry Callier at the Hooch club, hey used to play Ordinary Joe all the time. He's been part of that modern soul scene for years. I then discovered all of his early cadet albums. Again here is an artist who took his spiritual and life experience and wove it into his songs in a way where it makes you reflect on your won life and your own place in the Universe and find your place.  I went to see him perform live in London, and twice in Scotland. I even had the blessings of me and him twice as well. What a beautiful man, beautiful music.
31) Donny Hathaway - Somebody We'll All Be Free
This is one of those great songs with a great message to the world, it is almost bigger than itself. What an amazing singer Donny was, and such a tragedy he is no longer with us. For me, he has the best voice in soul music by far. Again, once I discovered him I went out and bought all of his albums, they are all so good! But this song says everything that needs to be said. I have played this song to my children as some kind of attempt to help them have wisdom and guidance in the form of a song. I think all Dad's should play this song to their kids!
32) Beloyd - Get Into Your Life
So, the last song on this playlist is just like the first song in the playlist. This modern soul song represents to me everything that I could song should be, positive, optimistic, full of life, love, wisdom and understanding and something you can dance to! It was one of the most popular songs in the soul clubs when I was a teenager it was always a highlight when it came on and it always leaves you feeling positive and ready to take life on. To this day it is still one of the most popular songs on the modern soul scene, it has become a timeless classic, yeah, what a great uplifting message "get into your life"!!!
Ok, so, I hope you have enjoyed my selection, thank you for your time, peace and blessings to you all.]]></description>

I love the sound, and everything about that performance. I went out the very next day and bought the first Schooly D album and became a fully fledged hip-hop addict! 
14) MC Mello - A Total Eclipse Of The Art
This song is by one of the UK's finest MCs. His first album, was a classic and listened to it over and over. It represents the best of UK hip hop.
15) Eric B. & Rakim - Move The Crowd
Rakim is my favorite rapper. He's one of the best lyricists and musically he was always ahead of the game. This song in particular was one of the first places that I ever heard the word Allah, and was to become an influence on my own spiritual journey. Great track, arguably the great emcee, classic material!
16) Public Enemy - Rebel Without A Pause
When Public Enemy released Rebel Without a Pause it changed everything! The Sonic imprint left on me remains to this day. That booming 808 and relentless sax loop, the raw powerful energy and Chuck D's attitude, perfect for a teenager!by all that energy. I remember buying this 12 inch and playing it over and over and over and over. Public Enemy and the Bomb Squads production, truly changed hip-hop forever.
17) Stone Roses - Fool's Gold
Running alongside all of this music of black origin is also my love for indie, folk and rock music. The Stone Roses were just one of those bands that came out at the right place and right time, everything about them was just amazing, great songs, great arrangements, great sound and vibe. I listened to that 1st album sooo much!
18) The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Before I discovered hip-hop. I would listen to the john peel show all the time, and he had a very eclectic taste in music. The Smiths were a band that i discovered through him and for me they were just the greatest band! Morrissey's lyrics and Johnny Marrs music was just the perfect match and can't be matched, everything they did was simply brilliant!
19) Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
So, the psychedelic 60s has also been a massive musical influence. I spent much of my teenage years listening to Woodstock Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and all that goos stuff. I'm not sure you could find a better song that represents the sound of the psychedelic movement that came out of America in the late 60s than "White Rabbit" total classic!
20) Nick Drake - River Man
The first time I ever heard Nick Drake i was left speechless, it completely blew me away. Not only was it amazing guitar playing, mystical songwriting and his wonderous voice, but the strings! Wow! What a full, warm, inviting, lucious wall of sound.
21) Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where the Time Goes
This is a song that i would like played at my funeral. Such ancient wisdom and understanding pulses through the veins of this song. Don't let time get the better of you. And Sandy Denny's voice is simply enchanting, absolutely wondrous!
22) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Qawwal & Party - Allah Hu (Live at Washington University)
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, what an incredible musician, a musical saint. To me Qawalli music is possibly the highest form of music in existence. Because it is devotional it has no ego involved the songs are offered up as prayers to the Divine. I remember first getting a tape of this album by Nusrat live in Washington it came at a time when I was exploring my own spirituality. It was the first time I heard islamic devotional music and the insight that it gave me is that one could be Islamic, and a musician.
I remember just constantly listening to it and getting lost in the vocal performance, the improvisation is on another level, the sophistication of the composition and interaction between the members of the troupe is out of this world.
The version included in this playlist is an edited version of the original 16 minute performance which would have been difficult to include, but I urge the listeners check out the full performance.
23) Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda - Journey To Satchidananda
At about the same i was listening to Nusrat i bought the Red, Hot & Cool compilation previously mentioned. On it was this track by Alice Coltrane. After buying that compilation i became a huge Alice Coltrane fan! Her music is sublime. Being the wife of John Coltrane obviously had an influence on her, but she was an amazing spiritual jazz musician in her own right and was also very spiritual being as well. This song was and is still on regular rotation and is really just so incredibly beautiful
24) Build an Ark - Peace With Every Step
This song is a later entry into the musical DNA. For me the lyrics really conveys a message of how I aspire to be as a human being. Written Carlos Nino, to the music of Stanley Cowell and sung by one of the greatest jazz singers alive, Dwight Trible. This is a song that i listen to when i need to re-centre, and remember where i need to be.
25) Stevie Wonder - Have A Talk With God
It would not be a proper DNA playlist without a bit of Stevie! Another album that was played a lot in our house when we were kids was "Songs in the Key of Life" In fact, the copy that I still play to this day is my mums. There are many songs I could have chosen from this album, but this one just seemed the right one for this playlist.
26) Ken McIntyre - Mercedes
This song, a later DNA entry, features John Mancebo Lewis on trombone, otherwise known as Hajj Haroon. A remarkable man, he was somebody who became a very close personal friend and mentor of mine. Without his guidance and encouragement i would not be the person I am today. I've included this song as a dedication to his life as he sadly passed away last year, may peace and blessings be with him. If you would like to know more about him please visit his website: mancebomosaic.com
27) Lonnie Liston Smith - Expansions
I first heard Expansions, as the Bass line and the Stetsasonic song  "Talking all that Jazz". It such a timeless tune, a Jazz-Funk Classic. It used to get regular play a club that I used to DJ at called "Chocolate City" Edinburgh's first funk club run by Jamie Byng, now of canongate press fame. After I discovered this Lonnie album I again became a total fan, buying all of his albums I could. I could have easily have chosen any song from any other album to showcase how great a musician he is, but this sound lyrically represents not only a theme in this playlist but also the theme that has ran throughout my life "Expand your mind, To understand, We all must live, 
In peace together." Spiritual Dance Music!
28) Stetsasonic - Talkin' All That Jazz
Hip Hop has been the strongest form of music in my life and this song lyrically represents so much of hip hop culture, just listen to the lyrics and it will give you an understanding hip hop culture. It is conscious hip hop, my most favourite aspect of the genre. This used to get played this all the time in the clubs such a great song to dance to such a great song to rap lyrics along to, it's one of those tunes that brings folk together
29) A Tribe Called Quest - Lyrics To Go
A DNA playlist would not be complete without a song from A Tribe Called Quest Sonically, musically, vibes wise they are my favorite hip hop group.When their first album came out, it was a game changer. Nobody was doing music quite like it. Even though the Jungle Brothers had started the Native Tongues that Tribe were part of (the Jungle Brothers could have easily been on this DNA playlist) when A Tribe Called Quest released their first album the musical landscape, language and idiom of hip hop changed for the better and it has never been the same since. I could have easily have chosen any song from any of the album, but this one for me just now is where i'm at today, it may be something else tomorrow. I love the clever use of the Minnie Ripperton sample, innovative, as the Tribe are!
30) Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe
I first heard Terry Callier at the Hooch club, hey used to play Ordinary Joe all the time. He's been part of that modern soul scene for years. I then discovered all of his early cadet albums. Again here is an artist who took his spiritual and life experience and wove it into his songs in a way where it makes you reflect on your won life and your own place in the Universe and find your place.  I went to see him perform live in London, and twice in Scotland. I even had the blessings of me and him twice as well. What a beautiful man, beautiful music.
31) Donny Hathaway - Somebody We'll All Be Free
This is one of those great songs with a great message to the world, it is almost bigger than itself. What an amazing singer Donny was, and such a tragedy he is no longer with us. For me, he has the best voice in soul music by far. Again, once I discovered him I went out and bought all of his albums, they are all so good! But this song says everything that needs to be said. I have played this song to my children as some kind of attempt to help them have wisdom and guidance in the form of a song. I think all Dad's should play this song to their kids!
32) Beloyd - Get Into Your Life
So, the last song on this playlist is just like the first song in the playlist. This modern soul song represents to me everything that I could song should be, positive, optimistic, full of life, love, wisdom and understanding and something you can dance to! It was one of the most popular songs in the soul clubs when I was a teenager it was always a highlight when it came on and it always leaves you feeling positive and ready to take life on. To this day it is still one of the most popular songs on the modern soul scene, it has become a timeless classic, yeah, what a great uplifting message "get into your life"!!!
Ok, so, I hope you have enjoyed my selection, thank you for your time, peace and blessings to you all.]]></itunes:summary>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite Murf to the Dusk Dubs family.... a selector who has been involved in pretty much every aspect of music you can think of.... DJ, producer, promoter, record shop owner, A&R, lecturer, author and of course vinyl junkie.
“When I was first asked to compile my selection for Dusk Dubs, I thought ‘Cool!’ that shouldn’t take me too long! Then I checked out the website, and was blown away by the musical content... I was especially drawn to a few of my peers within the DJ community... for me it was like looking into a mirror, and seeing a shared love for many great tracks, several I had short-listed for my initial 12!
Unfortunately life has a way of chewing into one’s time, and Dusk Dubs has been patiently waiting, and waiting, and waiting, but finally I have found some time to present a few nuggets that I hope please music fans, no matter your preferred tastes...
As a vinyl junkie, I've been an ambassador for electronic music during a hedonistic 30 year career as a DJ at seminal clubs and events worldwide...
I've promoted, sold, recorded, lectured, played, collected, reviewed and breathed music since the age of 13, recorded numerous mix CD's both here in Europe and Asia including the first CD for Eukahouse's "Tech House Phenomena" series, and worked pushing huge amounts of Vinyl at numerous record stores over the years -Groove, Zoom, Koobla, Silverfish (pre-Eukatech Records), Instant Quality aka I.Q. Records and Covert Records (Brighton)...
After taking a long needed sabbatical (2001-2009) from the DJ circuit, where I ended my long standing resident slots at Edinburgh's Subtle Logic, and The End's flagship party Subterrain -where myself and Mr.C's now infamous 4hr sessions were witnessed every month until late 1999 -I've been busy twiddling knobs, trying to write a book, studying, got married, bought & sold a few houses, had two beautiful lil’ boys and made myself a family man!
For the last few years, I've been laying low working on various projects -building a new studio, writing some very deeeep shit, flying around the globe doing my thing, and now I'm in the process of setting up a very exciting new label...
I've been letting my record box get the better of me of late and started playing out with Vinyl again (there's soooo much good music out there!)... I have come to regard myself as a serious music collector, who has acquired an immense record collection through the years, both as a club and radio DJ, and I've been lucky enough to travel all over the globe meeting some amazing friends and like-minded people who share my knowledge, passion, respect and love for good music!
Some highlights: Berlin's Love Parade, Tribal Gathering, Club F.B. (Toyko), Final Frontier @ Club UK, Club Rockets (Osaka), tons of BEDLAM - yes I'm that Murf - Spiral Tribe parties, Subterrain, Wiggle, Key-Energy, Castlemorten (Where's Reggie gone?), Eurobeat 2000 @ Turnmills, Yeeak! Mayday Party, Notting Hill Carnival, JuJu, Yellow, Queen's, Circle, Re:Verb, Animated, Bunker, Kitchen, Technology, Children Of Chaos, Desire, Sativae, Black Sheep, Twisted, TRIP, Heart & Soul, TEXAS, Knowledge, Subtle Logic, Tresor, etc..."  [[ Murf ]]
Murf has played alongside shed loads of people - here's a few he's had the pleasure to party with:
Mr C., Sven Vath, Darren Emerson, Layo & Bushwacka!, Terry Francis, Dave Clarke, Dave Angel, Richie Hawtin, Joey Beltram, Roland Casper, Roy Davis Jr., Damon Wild, HELL, The Advent, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Rolando, Styro 2000, Jungle Brothers, Marco Lenzi, Space DJ'z, D'julz, Get Fucked, Peach Boys, Asad Rizvi, Colin Dale, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Thomas Heckmann, Carl Cox, F.S.O.L., Stacey Pullen, Hardfloor, Laurent Garnier, Eddie Richards, Tyree Cooper, Swayzak, K.U.D.O., KCC, Tony Humphries, Harvey, DJ Miku, Suburban Knight, you get the picture...

Tracklisting
1) Rufus Ft Chaka Khan - Better Days
I bought this as an 8 year old kid, waaaay back in 1978, from a stall in Uxbridge Road Market, West London. One of my first purchases, little did I know that I was going to be buying many more records over the years!
2) Raw Silk - Just In Time (Dub)
I first went to NYC in 1985, more a B-Boy than a clubber!
I managed to blag myself into a club called The Circle, had no clue who was playing, but it was my first full blown experience of New York/Philadelphia/New Jersey Garage and proto-House, on a dance floor with proper House heads!
Clubs back in London were a very different vibe, and tended to be more mixed musically, everything from Electro, Funk, Disco, and even Hip Hop was played, all within the same hour...
3) Leo’s Sunshipp - Give Me The Sunshine (Vocal)
A gloriously feel-good track taken from the ‘We Need Each Other’ LP from ‘78. I first used to hear this as a young teenager, as I was going to house/squat parties in the early ‘80’s, mainly in Belsize Park, and Hampstead in North London!
These parties were my entry point into the Groove, where I would spend the night listening to the likes of Norman J, Jah Shaka, Ron Tom, Soul II Soul, among others... I finally picked this up in ‘84, and it’s been a go-to Record ever since, especially when the Sun is out, or I’m feeling down...
4) Move D - Tribute To Mr Fingers
From my all-time favourite solo artist LP, ‘Kunststoff’.
Released 1995 on David Moufang’s amazing Source Records imprint! This was one of my best selling records at a shop I opened in ‘95, based in central London called I.Q. Records aka Instant Quality... This was also the year that my good friend Mr.C and Layo Paskin opened their club in December of ‘95, The now Legendary venue The End... ‘95-‘96 was an amazing time to be in London, and this record brings back some of those memories for me...
5) Glenn Underground - Mental Black Resurrection (Mental Piano Dub)
When I was first thinking of what to choose, I immediately started digging into my Detroit collection, then into the many bits from Chicago, but as I started refining my selection, I kept thinking about choosing something that meant something more personal to me... Glenn Underground, for me, is one of those artists who has pushed his own sound into ever deeper territories! I picked this up whilst on one of my many trips to Japan, played it the same evening, and the Japanese audience reacted to this track like only they can! It’s why Japan is a favourite location for many DJ’s, they appreciate proper music!
6) Chateau Flight - Cosmic Race
I’m not really a follower of genres, or where a track comes from! Music is music, it’s bad or good, and in this case very, very good indeed! I had a few records short-listed by French artists, but this grabbed my mood at the last moment... Personally I like to play this pitched down to -8, as it’s a tad too fast for my tastes... This track ticks my boxes when looking for music to include in my DJ sets, a form of Techno that is melodic, intricate, and deep... LOVE!
7) Mono Junk - Channel B
Produced by Kimmo Rapatti, an artist who hails from Finland, and in my books is one of the pioneers of (proper) Minimal Techno... This particular track laid the blueprint to what I was trying to create and play during the mid ‘90’s... it quickly became one of the early anthems at Subterrain @ The End, Stark, raw, and relentless, a perfect exercise in Less is More, the essence of what real Techno is about! Oh, and it was released as a White coloured vinyl 12, what’s not to love!
8) The Night Writers – Let The Music (Use You)
Frankie Knuckles was responsible for some of House music’s finest moments! This track encapsulates the Love and Vibe of clubs during ‘87-‘89, a time when there were no divisions within the music scene, a time when House was House! Sadly a good mate of mine, Liz Edwards passed away during the summer of last year! She had this as her ‘Goodbye’ song at her funeral, and the whole congregation was on their feet, smiling and crying in total joy... Only music can take you there...
9) Fingers Inc. - Music Take Me Up
Track for track the LP ‘Another Side’ is easily my favourite album, and this track I chose because the lyrics say it all for me!
The vocal talents of Ron Wilson and Robert Owens, defined Deep House, and the music by Larry Heard is next level, blurring the lines between House and Techno, and still sounding soulful throughout... Since my first listen back in 1988, a complete LP as good as this has rarely been equalled, I still play tracks from this in my sets...
10) ESG - Moody (Spaced Out Dub)
This takes me musically full circle, as I was a B-Boy in my early teens, and the original 12” ‘ESG’ by ESG from 1981 was a sought after, and often cut-up record by DJ’s of the era... I first got my hands on a bootlegged copy in mid ‘92, as I was wanting this particular mix on a 12”, as the original ‘83 cut from the LP lacked enough punch to play out with... fast forward to present day, and I find myself slipping this into sets where my musical boundaries are allowed to explore more than just the realms of Techno and House...
11) Stasis – Artifax
Throughout the early to mid ‘90’s the UK spawned its own take on the Techno Sound, fusing the genres into new territories, but some were more concerned with a refined, dare I say a pure sound!
A generation fuelled with music from the US, ‘80’s Electro-Funk, Techno, Acid, House, and of course the melting-pot that was the UK Underground scene, and thrown in were the myriad of record labels coming out of Germany, Belgium, and Holland amongst their influences. UK based artists like Kirk Degiorgio, B12, and Black Dog to name a few, were creating a sound that was uniquely British!
A movement more focused on the musical integrity than the fame.... Stasis aka Steve Pickton produced a number of records that have matured with age, and are regarded as key pieces in many collections the world over! I love a number of his records, but this track from 1993 is definitely a personal favourite of mine... THAT Acid line! *)
12) Vernon Felicity - Breaking Silence
You often hear people say ‘They don’t make ‘em like they used too!’. Codswallop! Every once in awhile an artist emerges who seems to produce an endless stream of quality material. For me Boris Bunnik is one of those artists... Better known for work under the name of Conforce, and Versalife, releasing tracks of various styles on a ton of labels. But his alter-ego Vernon Felicity is where his most potent music can be found... I currently own 9 of his VF EP’s, ALL are killer machine driven, late- night basement jams, my kinda sound when I play out... Modern Techno doesn’t come a specific place, as it is now a truly Global movement, and this is futuristic music from the past and present...
I hope my selection has been an enjoyable experience, for you the listener !]]></description>

I bought this as an 8 year old kid, waaaay back in 1978, from a stall in Uxbridge Road Market, West London. One of my first purchases, little did I know that I was going to be buying many more records over the years!
2) Raw Silk - Just In Time (Dub)
I first went to NYC in 1985, more a B-Boy than a clubber!
I managed to blag myself into a club called The Circle, had no clue who was playing, but it was my first full blown experience of New York/Philadelphia/New Jersey Garage and proto-House, on a dance floor with proper House heads!
Clubs back in London were a very different vibe, and tended to be more mixed musically, everything from Electro, Funk, Disco, and even Hip Hop was played, all within the same hour...
3) Leo’s Sunshipp - Give Me The Sunshine (Vocal)
A gloriously feel-good track taken from the ‘We Need Each Other’ LP from ‘78. I first used to hear this as a young teenager, as I was going to house/squat parties in the early ‘80’s, mainly in Belsize Park, and Hampstead in North London!
These parties were my entry point into the Groove, where I would spend the night listening to the likes of Norman J, Jah Shaka, Ron Tom, Soul II Soul, among others... I finally picked this up in ‘84, and it’s been a go-to Record ever since, especially when the Sun is out, or I’m feeling down...
4) Move D - Tribute To Mr Fingers
From my all-time favourite solo artist LP, ‘Kunststoff’.
Released 1995 on David Moufang’s amazing Source Records imprint! This was one of my best selling records at a shop I opened in ‘95, based in central London called I.Q. Records aka Instant Quality... This was also the year that my good friend Mr.C and Layo Paskin opened their club in December of ‘95, The now Legendary venue The End... ‘95-‘96 was an amazing time to be in London, and this record brings back some of those memories for me...
5) Glenn Underground - Mental Black Resurrection (Mental Piano Dub)
When I was first thinking of what to choose, I immediately started digging into my Detroit collection, then into the many bits from Chicago, but as I started refining my selection, I kept thinking about choosing something that meant something more personal to me... Glenn Underground, for me, is one of those artists who has pushed his own sound into ever deeper territories! I picked this up whilst on one of my many trips to Japan, played it the same evening, and the Japanese audience reacted to this track like only they can! It’s why Japan is a favourite location for many DJ’s, they appreciate proper music!
6) Chateau Flight - Cosmic Race
I’m not really a follower of genres, or where a track comes from! Music is music, it’s bad or good, and in this case very, very good indeed! I had a few records short-listed by French artists, but this grabbed my mood at the last moment... Personally I like to play this pitched down to -8, as it’s a tad too fast for my tastes... This track ticks my boxes when looking for music to include in my DJ sets, a form of Techno that is melodic, intricate, and deep... LOVE!
7) Mono Junk - Channel B
Produced by Kimmo Rapatti, an artist who hails from Finland, and in my books is one of the pioneers of (proper) Minimal Techno... This particular track laid the blueprint to what I was trying to create and play during the mid ‘90’s... it quickly became one of the early anthems at Subterrain @ The End, Stark, raw, and relentless, a perfect exercise in Less is More, the essence of what real Techno is about! Oh, and it was released as a White coloured vinyl 12, what’s not to love!
8) The Night Writers – Let The Music (Use You)
Frankie Knuckles was responsible for some of House music’s finest moments! This track encapsulates the Love and Vibe of clubs during ‘87-‘89, a time when there were no divisions within the music scene, a time when House was House! Sadly a good mate of mine, Liz Edwards passed away during the summer of last year! She had this as her ‘Goodbye’ song at her funeral, and the whole congregation was on their feet, smiling and crying in total joy... Only music can take you there...
9) Fingers Inc. - Music Take Me Up
Track for track the LP ‘Another Side’ is easily my favourite album, and this track I chose because the lyrics say it all for me!
The vocal talents of Ron Wilson and Robert Owens, defined Deep House, and the music by Larry Heard is next level, blurring the lines between House and Techno, and still sounding soulful throughout... Since my first listen back in 1988, a complete LP as good as this has rarely been equalled, I still play tracks from this in my sets...
10) ESG - Moody (Spaced Out Dub)
This takes me musically full circle, as I was a B-Boy in my early teens, and the original 12” ‘ESG’ by ESG from 1981 was a sought after, and often cut-up record by DJ’s of the era... I first got my hands on a bootlegged copy in mid ‘92, as I was wanting this particular mix on a 12”, as the original ‘83 cut from the LP lacked enough punch to play out with... fast forward to present day, and I find myself slipping this into sets where my musical boundaries are allowed to explore more than just the realms of Techno and House...
11) Stasis – Artifax
Throughout the early to mid ‘90’s the UK spawned its own take on the Techno Sound, fusing the genres into new territories, but some were more concerned with a refined, dare I say a pure sound!
A generation fuelled with music from the US, ‘80’s Electro-Funk, Techno, Acid, House, and of course the melting-pot that was the UK Underground scene, and thrown in were the myriad of record labels coming out of Germany, Belgium, and Holland amongst their influences. UK based artists like Kirk Degiorgio, B12, and Black Dog to name a few, were creating a sound that was uniquely British!
A movement more focused on the musical integrity than the fame.... Stasis aka Steve Pickton produced a number of records that have matured with age, and are regarded as key pieces in many collections the world over! I love a number of his records, but this track from 1993 is definitely a personal favourite of mine... THAT Acid line! *)
12) Vernon Felicity - Breaking Silence
You often hear people say ‘They don’t make ‘em like they used too!’. Codswallop! Every once in awhile an artist emerges who seems to produce an endless stream of quality material. For me Boris Bunnik is one of those artists... Better known for work under the name of Conforce, and Versalife, releasing tracks of various styles on a ton of labels. But his alter-ego Vernon Felicity is where his most potent music can be found... I currently own 9 of his VF EP’s, ALL are killer machine driven, late- night basement jams, my kinda sound when I play out... Modern Techno doesn’t come a specific place, as it is now a truly Global movement, and this is futuristic music from the past and present...
I hope my selection has been an enjoyable experience, for you the listener !]]></itunes:summary>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Keno
Title: DD0550
Style: Jazz, Soul, Ambient, Trip Hop, Broken Beat
Time:  Minutes 127
Date: 2019-03-10
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite Lübeck based producer, DJ and recording artist Keno aka Renegades Of Jazz, aka The Motion Orchestra aka... David Hanke.
"The tracks I have selected are mainly all from albums that shaped my taste of sound in electronic music at an early stage. These tracks are mostly from 1995-2005 when I was getting into this sound. Before I was into these sounds, I only listened to Rock music, in particular the Seattle Sound. But I was pretty unsatisfied with it, as I began to find this music very depressive and looking back it kinda made me sick in the long run.
One day a good friend gave me a tape for my car with Kruder & Dorfmeister on one side and Thievery Corporation on the other side and I was listening to this tape all day long and began to explore this music by myself. My friend showed me Kid Loco, Nightmares On Wax, Nobukazu Takemura, Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Up, Bustle & Out and the whole Ninja Tune thing.
So I began to dig on the World Wide Web which was kind a new thing around 2001, and the very first album I found myself was Quantic's “The 5th Exotic“, which I absolutely loved and from them on I was addicted to this type of music and never listened to rock music again.
There are many great memories connected to each song and the albums they come from." [[ KENO ]]

Tracklisting
1) Visit Venus - Harlem Overdrive
My oldest memory about listening to Downbeat music is connected with Visit Venus. First record I listened of Visit Venus was the 12“ Magic Fly Variations. This tune is taken from their first full album 'Music For Space Tourism Vol.1' which was released 1995 and  has become kind of underground cult classic in the scene.
2) Nobukazu Takemura - For Tomorrow (Original Single Mix)
Even something I listened from the very beginning of my explorations in electronic music, and still something that sounds better as a lot of stuff from today. Really special memories are connected to this song and even the whole EP. He later did more Ambient type of music, but the 'For Tomorrow EP' and the 'Child's View Remixed EP' are my favourites.
3) Nightmares On Wax - Nights Interlude
Well I guess that's what is called a classic. Not many artists from that time are still active. Have seen him lately with a full live band in Hamburg and had a great evening at this concert. Played a lot of new stuff as well some of the old classics like 'Nights Interlude'. Good to see he's still doing his thing.
4) The Wiseguys - Casino ''Sans Pareil''
What a revelation when I discovered the first album 'Executive Suite' in a shop in my hometown. Regal and Touché delivered a wonderful first album which I think can be also called as a classic nowadays. I was absolutely addicted by this sound when I found the album.
5) Bathyspehere - Augusta
Released on one of my absolute favourite Downbeat labels ever.... Deep-Water Recordings. They didn't had many releases, but Hint had his first release there and there are a couple of great EPs available. Later it turned into Bathysphere Recordings and all the people involved disappeared. If anyone knows Chris Cousin aka SofaLofa from Bathysphere (Deep-Water) holla at me please,  I'd like to get in touch with him.
6) Blockhead - Insomniac Olympics
What a first single, what an album, what a year. Released 2004 on Ninja Tune (for me it's my favourite Ninja Tune year). I remember the video and the picture disc single. The mood in this song is so great, flawless. But even the whole album 'Music By Cavelight' is still a masterpiece. 
7) Bonobo - Noctuary
Well this guy needs no introduction. What started as 'beautiful Hip-Hop' is today's biggest act in electronic music... well deserved. Still loving the 'Dial 'M' For Monkey' album, Bonobo already proved on an early stage that his music is more than beat making with a hook sample.
8) Kruder & Dorfmeister - Black Baby
Like many people, the first thing I heard of K&D was the 'K&D Sessions'. They really set standards at their time. Their song 'Black Baby' which was produced exclusively for their DJ-Kicks volume, absolute defines their sound for me, still into this and nice to see they started DJ'ing as a duo again.
9) Kid Loco - Relaxin' With Cherry
Also an album I knew at a very early stage of my discoveries. 'A Grand Love Story' is still the best album from him for me. This guitar lick is still absolutely beautiful. The whole album is a great story especially when it comes to the second half where the deeper tracks are.
10) DJ Food - Consciousness (Ashley Beedle Remix) [DRUM FIX]
One of my favourite Ninja Tune and DJ Food songs. Not sure where I heard it first, probably on one of the early compilations. The remix really got me, really one of those songs you connect with the Ninja Label and their sound.
11) Boozoo Bajou - Under My Sensi 
First heard on a compilation and never checked from what album it is. Oh what a mistake. Later I've checked the whole 'Satta' album, their first album and was frustrated because the vinyl version is only sold for mad prices, however... great album, great track.
12) Tommy Guerrero - Abiento
The first thing I've heard of Tommy Guerrero, and I was instantly in love with his sound. His sound was definitely different from other former Skater or Surfer dudes. Raw,undiluted and very lo-fi on this first album. The artwork is (still) a real eye-catcher. Was really happy to get the LP at that time, but recently they re-released the album on vinyl again, yay!
13) Thunderball - Solar
Discovered while diggin' some Thievery Corporation stuff and having a real "wow“ moment when seeing the artwork for the first time and listening to the 'Scorpio Rising' album for the first time. For me still their best album with a very special mood and very different styles and approaches to music.
14) Quantic - The 5th Exotic
Well this song and album was really special to me because it was the first album I was digging myself. After getting introduced by a friend to NOW, Kid Loco, Up, Bustle & Out and Thievery Corporation, I found this album in 2001. We listened to it at his parents house on the big Hi-Fi and both didn't say a word while the whole album played, we were just sitting there and listening to it. Still a great album/song to me.
15) Up, Bustle & Out - Y Ahora Tu
I was introduced to them by the same friend and became a big fan. My friend and I have been room-mates later in Hamburg, and I think I played at least two of his Up, Bustle & Out albums each day. Their style and concept of making music is still unique and their 'One Colour Just Reflects Another' and 'Light 'em Up, Blow 'em Out' albums are still my favourite ones, great group! 
16) Radio Citizen - The Hop feat. Bajka
What a song and even the first time I heard Bajka's voice. Loved the raw and undiluted sound on the first album 'Berlin Serengeti'. Still a big fan of Radio Citizen and saw them live in Hamburg years ago.
17) Hint - Count Your Blessings
Hint's 'Portakabin Fever' album really blew my mind at the time it was released. This was a perfect Downbeat album to me and still is, real sample magic. The mood he creates on the album is unique. First appearance of Hint was on the Deep-Water record label (mentioned earlier) with his 'The Beau Selectah EP'.
18) Backini - Dreamer
The Discovery of Backini was a lucky moment. Lumenessence Records from UK released a couple of 12“s and the first album on CD. Greatly sampled Downbeat music with swing elements, was instantly hooked to this. I remember I was doing my radio-show that time and received a big vinyl and CD promo package from them. 
19) Thievery Corporation - Tomorrow
Well, some of the very first pioneers. First album I listened too was the 'Mirror Conspiracy' which is still one of my favourite albums from them. I was introduced to their music by the same friend I mentioned earlier. Great to see they are still doing their thing.
20) Amon Tobin - Easy Muffin
What a great song by a great producer with his unique style. Unfortunately this one has been removed from all digital platforms due copyright reasons. One of the early Ninja Tune artists, even still active these days, there's a new album coming soon.
21) Loka - Beginningless
Their first 12“ on Ninja Tune was really great, loved the artwork too. Unfortunately it took many years until they released their first album and somehow they didn't get much attention, a pity. But the first three tracks of them really did something with me, I loved their style and sound a lot.
22) Boards Of Canada - Sixtyniner
I think there's no other album from them I love more than Twoism. The mood on this album was flawless and remarkable. I never was really getting into their other works, Twosim was a standout album for me.
23) TM Juke - Just For A Day (Sunday)
Maybe the most influential album to me in the early days of electronic music. I used to listen to it at the weekends breakfast with my girlfriend at that time. So many good memories and the first time I heard Alice Russell on the album. Even the artwork was great.
24) The Cinematic Orchestra - All That You Give feat. Fontella Bass (Edit)
First song I've heard of The Cinematic Orchestra was 'Channel 1 Suite' on a Ninja Tune compilation, but when I heard Every Day I was in love with them. I knew Roots Manuva from his solo works and loved the track with him on the album, but „All That You Give“ was really mesmerising with the vocals of Fontella Bass.
25) Skalpel - Sculpture
The first time I heard this was on the ZEN compilation and I remember that a friend and I had a discussion where he said he could not imagine that this was sampled based, it must be a live band...well it was sampled, out of polish Jazz records. The mood on the first album is something I can't describe with words, fantastic debut album and great to see they formed a Skalpel Big Band and are on tour in 2019.
26) Funki Porcini - Long Road
Well I think this is one of the most wonderful songs of Funki Porcini, a good closing song.]]></description>

Well, some of the very first pioneers. First album I listened too was the 'Mirror Conspiracy' which is still one of my favourite albums from them. I was introduced to their music by the same friend I mentioned earlier. Great to see they are still doing their thing.
20) Amon Tobin - Easy Muffin
What a great song by a great producer with his unique style. Unfortunately this one has been removed from all digital platforms due copyright reasons. One of the early Ninja Tune artists, even still active these days, there's a new album coming soon.
21) Loka - Beginningless
Their first 12“ on Ninja Tune was really great, loved the artwork too. Unfortunately it took many years until they released their first album and somehow they didn't get much attention, a pity. But the first three tracks of them really did something with me, I loved their style and sound a lot.
22) Boards Of Canada - Sixtyniner
I think there's no other album from them I love more than Twoism. The mood on this album was flawless and remarkable. I never was really getting into their other works, Twosim was a standout album for me.
23) TM Juke - Just For A Day (Sunday)
Maybe the most influential album to me in the early days of electronic music. I used to listen to it at the weekends breakfast with my girlfriend at that time. So many good memories and the first time I heard Alice Russell on the album. Even the artwork was great.
24) The Cinematic Orchestra - All That You Give feat. Fontella Bass (Edit)
First song I've heard of The Cinematic Orchestra was 'Channel 1 Suite' on a Ninja Tune compilation, but when I heard Every Day I was in love with them. I knew Roots Manuva from his solo works and loved the track with him on the album, but „All That You Give“ was really mesmerising with the vocals of Fontella Bass.
25) Skalpel - Sculpture
The first time I heard this was on the ZEN compilation and I remember that a friend and I had a discussion where he said he could not imagine that this was sampled based, it must be a live band...well it was sampled, out of polish Jazz records. The mood on the first album is something I can't describe with words, fantastic debut album and great to see they formed a Skalpel Big Band and are on tour in 2019.
26) Funki Porcini - Long Road
Well I think this is one of the most wonderful songs of Funki Porcini, a good closing song.]]></itunes:summary>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we welcome back Earwig Shoescrew with a gorgeous volume for those sun-setting hours..... Earwig Shoescrew is an artist/remixer/re-edit creator in his own right as well as being a part of the Shoes edits label and Plimsoll Records.
"It's my pleasure to return to the Dusk Dubs stage for their Cancun Beach Chill Out Festival... It's really not much of a stage actually, just a bunch of rugs and pillows and a massive soundsystem out on a Caribbean beach, with the sun setting, the ocean breezes blowing, and Mars rising in the east...
Enjoy"  [[ Earwig Shoescrew ]]

Tracklisting
1) Carl Craig - es.30
This ambient opening track from the 1997 epic Detroit techno masterpiece "More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art". This song always brought an image of the night sky to my mind, so what better way to start a dusk dub mix?
2) See-I - Why Not Tonight? (Dub)
My friend and Shoes collaborator turned me on to this piece of modern dub reggae. In my mind a perfect example of how to balance the echoed out soundscapes of dub while keeping just enough of the melodic elements to connect with the heart.
3) Carol Cool - Upside Down
From the Soul Jazz "Hustle! Disco Reggae" compilation, just a stellar reggae version of the Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards penned disco tune. Such a great chilled party vibe with this one.
4) Selah Collins - Pick A Sound
From the "Watch How The People Dancing" comp... Brilliant digital dancehall sounds from 1980's London.
5) Nuffwish - Missy Elliot Vs Aquarius
This mash up is what the Shoes label is all about, crossing the old and new in a one funky package. Bringing together the dub sounds of Herman Chin Loy's "Heavy Duty" (from the Aquarius label) with Missy Elliot's "Supa Dupa Fly" including the sample from Ann Peebles.
6) Shoes - Pain Goes Deep
I know... I played one of my own tracks in my mix... Whatcha gonna do? It fit... From the Slow Soul Flow mixtape.
7) Joe Williams & the Jazz Orchestra - Get Out of my Life, Woman
Love this cover of the Lee Dorsey tune with a funky big band feel. Sampled many times the piano break in this is killer.
8) DL Jones - Whoa Bobby
Funky soul sampling instrumental hip hop beats from Detroit, and good life advice from Bobby Womack! "Do the things that keep a smile on her face, Say the words that make her feel better ev'ry day, You bet you better keep on you Ps and Qs, If you don't the woman you can easily lose."
9) Nina Simone - Feelin' (A.J.'s Re-edit)
This song has been done and redone many times, but I thought this version, which puts a nu-jazz spin on it, fit here in between the beat type tracks and the more jazzy and chilled out section of the mix.
10) 4Hero - Naima
From the 2000 Black Presents the Good Good compilation. I wore this record out when it came out in 2000. Of course a cover of the John Coltrane classic, but in a version that perfectly straddles funky, groovy yet laid back, breezy and spiritual.
11) Visioneers - Runnin'
From 4Hero to another Marc Mac project, Visioneers. Big infuence on how Shoes edits were conceptualized bringing together classic sample sources with modern production. Tying together the Stan Getz sample (as flipped by J Dilla) and the Pharcyde track. Again feeling funky and breezy.
12) Stereolab - Rainbo Conversation
Hopefully you are on your second or third drink by this point in the mix and your edibles are starting to kick in, cause it gets a little weirder on the back half... Love, love, love the electro brazillian experiments from the french indie band Stereolab on this album "Dots and Loops". This was on repeat back in 1997 when it came out, and it still holds up as experimental yet so pretty and emotionally resonant for me. It was hard to pick what track to play, but this one seemed to match the breezy vibe of the mix best.
13) Carlos Santana & Mahavishnu John McLaughlin - Naima
Another version of the Coltrane track that brings out the spiritual elements. Two guitar greats get together along with their guru. The album is deep and heavy fusion guitar work, but this song is just two acoustic guitars straining to communicate deep longing for some bigger meaning in the world.
14) Bill Evans - Peace Piece
Now we're just laying down on the beach looking at the stars...
15) World of Apples - The Cows at Jodrell Bank
Lovely piece of dusky trippiness from Ewan Pearson alias. So chill yet with a nice pulse to it...]]></description>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we celebrate the  91st Academy Awards, and invite our good friend and Dusk Dubs regular Conrad Koziol, to compile a collection of his favourite movie moments…
"Having been approached by Dusk Dubs last year to see if I was interested in submitting a soundtrack / OST piece for 2019's edition, I went into earmarking possible tracks to include and put together a mental pile to start from and went from there; much the same as I did when putting together my other Dusk Dubs submissions. For various storage reasons I can't physically reach the bulk of my vinyl collection of soundtracks at the moment but was more than happy to work from CD's as I have a reasonable amount to dive into and coincidentally have been sorting.
No theme other than diversity here really; some of these films happen to be ones that my day job has brought me into contact with and are as such especially cherished, and others were ones my Dad introduced me such as 'In The Heat Of The Night' or another was from a particularly vivid trip to see 'Amadeus' in London (!) with my family on a rare trip down from Scotland back in the '80s and such strong memories helped me piece the whole thing together. I hope you enjoy and if there's something you may have missed check out the trailer and see if you fancy the whole picture from there.
Hope you enjoy" [[ CONRAD ]]

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Matthew Foord
Title: DD0547
Style: Soul, Jazz
Time: 119 Minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week  its Dusk Dubs very own Matthew Foord, with a superb mixtape taking in all things Jazz....
"It’s an honour and a distinct pleasure to be asked to compile another selection for Dusk Dubs (especially since now I’m part of the family)!
My love for Jazz Music goes back to my College days at the end of the 80’s. I was studying Philosophy and soon struck up a friendship with a bloke named Dan. This friendship was based upon our love of alcohol but was cemented when he introduced me to red wine and then jazz Music. Pretentious Moi?!
During these heady days I was also introduced to House music, by way of squat parties and open-air raves on Grantchester Meadows. However, I have always retained a great love and affection for Jazz Music. This love affair has only grown through the years.
I personally find it difficult writing about music as for me it’s always about the feeling. I always seem to stubble into almost ‘sonic cathedral of sound’ platitudes. So, bearing that in mind I’ll keep it short. All these records chosen are massive favourites of mine. I’ve hopefully struck a balance between long time favourites, or relatively new tunes that have blown my mind. Check The Comet is Coming, emanative and Sarathy Korwar (with an absolutely stunning rework of Don Henderson’s Earth) to see how vibrant the current scene is.
Anyway, here it is…experience it…it’s so much more then nice.
This is music to take you to the stars. This is music to mend your broken heart. This is music to dance to. This is music to feel. I love this music "

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite producer and AKO Beatz record label owner Stretch, to celebrate Valentines and compile a personal and wonderful mixtape celebrating 'Love'....
"After being asked by the Dusk Dubs guys to choose some of my favourite music around the LOVE theme, it got me thinking, do I look for rare music or do I go with music I remember when I was growing up.
I went with the latter and decided to go through different genres. One thing I realised is that the 1980’s and early 1990’s was a big influence on me. I remember growing up and Ella Fitzgerald, Minnie Riperton & Marvin Gaye being played while my mum or dad cooked. My brother was an avid record collector and great DJ. I would often look through all his crates of records, and play them when he wasn’t home as I wasn’t allowed to touch them. I fell in love with this music, from artists like Loose Ends, Keni Burke, Rick Clarke, Maze etc and got lost in the music.
As this went on, I started collecting music and DJ'ing on a couple of sound systems as I decided music was my escape. Alexander O’Neil, Micheal Jackson, Janet Kay, Sade and Bobby Brown were always being played in my room. There was a lot of 90’s Soul/RnB I could have added but that was too easy.
In the early 90’s I met 'The Reinforced Crew' and my life changed, 4hero's music was on another level and I always got excited when Marc and Dego finished new projects. Nuyorican Soul - 'I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun' (4hero Remix) was simply a breathtaking remix, even the story behind it made it even more special. I also met King Britt via Reinforced, and we’ve become good friends/brothers, his album 'King Britt Presents Sylk 130 - When The Funk Hits The Fan' was like a soundtrack of my life, and the song "New Love" was me in the kitchen talking to my mum about the music before I was born.
I really hope you guys enjoy this playlist as it means so much to me."

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This weekend we welcome bassist, producer and DJ Hugh Brooker to the Dusk Dubs family.
Hugh provides an inspiration and influences volume entitled...
"'Night Trains Acid Jazz Records Selection"
Night Trains were formed in 1987 by bassist, producer and DJ Hugh Brooker and along with Galliano became part of the first wave of acts to sign to Acid Jazz Records. Originally a sax and Hammond organ-led 5 piece, Blue Note inspired instrumental combo, the band first cut their teeth at Soho's legendary Wag Club's Monday night Acid Jazz sessions, along with DJs and label founders Eddie Piller and Giles Peterson. Their first vinyl outing was the limited edition, and now rare as hens teeth, underground club hit 'Open Channel D.” This was followed by a very early example of Mash Up Breakbeat Jazz crossover on the track “And now we have rhythm” on “Acid Jazz and Other Illicit Grooves”; the seminal major label release on Polydor's Urban Records, alongside artists such as James Taylor Quartet, Galliano and Jalal from US hip hop pioneers The Last Poets.
Giles Peterson and Baz Fe Jazz released Night Trains' critically acclaimed debut album “Checkmate” on their B.G.P [Beat Goes Public] label in 1990. The Japanese release on Quattro Records featured a vocal collaboration with founding father of Hip Hop Afrika Bambaataa on the track “Russian Roulette”.
Returning to Acid Jazz Records in the early 90's, the band released two new albums “Loaded” and “Sleazeball” along with several singles and EPs. “Sleazeball” featured the international club hit “Lovesick” a track for which the band are most recognised. At this point the band signed a US deal with Instinct Records in New York. Night Trains played live extensively across Europe and Japan to promote these records supporting and touring with artists as diverse as Fatboy Slim, Jamiroquai, Gil Scott Heron and Afrika Bambaataa.
To keep the band's sound and vibe fresh, Hugh Brooker constantly changed the live and studio line up, with hand picked and, successful in their own right, session side men and women. These included, amongst many others, Spider Johnson [Drums, Vox], Jennie Bellestar [Vox], Damian Hand [Sax], Mike“chilli”Watts [Drums], Tony Watts [Guitar], Dave Priseman [Trumpet ] Julian Bates [Turntables] and Gary Foote [Sax/Flute].
Brooker took a break from Night Trains duties in 1993 to work with UK rapper and Fatboy Slim cohort MC Wildski on the Acid Jazz records album “Thoughts And Sound Paintings" under the guise “The Humble Souls.” After a successful year of international promotion he returned to work on the new Night Trains album “Obstruct The Doors Cause Delay and Be Dangerous”. At this time Acid Jazz records secured a major sponsorship deal for the band with legendary Italian fashion house Cerruti which resulted in various runway and TV appearances for the band across Europe creating extensive worldwide exposure. Brooker then wrote and produced his “Merchant Of Menace” Breakbeat double album project “Outside Looking Out” released on Acid Jazz and his own Super Villain Wreckuds label. This became Steve Lamacq's record of the week on Radio 1 and Ministry of Sound's Album of the month.
Hugh Brooker currently DJs globally and has been co-writing with and remixing and producing for artists as diverse as Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Earth Wind and Fire. Summer 2012 saw the return of Night Trains to Acid Jazz Records with the 7 inch vinyl release of "No More Heroes" a stomping northern soul reinterpretation of "The Stranglers" 70's New Wave classic. A teaming with Tim Walkers Back Burna records in 2015 resulted in the uplifting Soulful 7 inch "Black Whip" and Summer 2017 sees the band turning full circle and reuniting, for the first time in 27 years, with sublime vocalist Jennie Bellestar Matthias on the up-tempo, Dave Priseman-Horn driven, " Do Anything You Wanna Do" co-produced by James Johnstone [Pigbag / Infinite Wheel].
Hugh is currently in the studio with Night Trains producing new music for 2019.

Tracklisting
1) Big John Patton - The Turnaround
When my band "The Night Trains" first signed to Eddie Piller's and Giles Peterson's "Acid Jazz Records" way back in 1987 we had a monthly Monday night "Jazz Room" residency at Chris Sulivans Wag Club in Wardour St Soho London and we used to include our version of this in our set.I can only but hope that our youthful teenage enthusiasm did justice to one of the greatest Hammond organ floor stompers of all time and also one of the best jazz-dance records Blue Note Records ever released.
2) Billy Hawks - Ooh Baby I Feel I'm Losing You
Many years ago I sampled the intro of "I'm Losing You" by Billy Hawks on a track I recorded for Acid Jazz Records called "Beads Things And Flowers" by my other band at the time..The Humble Souls with MC Wildski (who had just had a UK hit with Norman Cook pre "Fatboy Slim" called "Blame it on the Baseline).. I also bunged in a bit of of Ramsey Lewis and The Young Holt Trio... Years later Eddie Piller told me the instrumental version had become a modern mod anthem!!!!! I obviously cant take any credit as I nicked it all from the proper geezers, but can only hope I opened up the originals for a new generation...
3) Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up
Every time i'm on an almighty downer this one melts away the blues like Goldfingers laser beam!!!!
4) Lee "Scratch" Perry And The Upsetters - Jungle Lion
A great horn driven funky reggae reinterpretation of Al Greens " Love and Happiness" by one of my all-time musical heroes.Night Trains band member Mr Spyder Jonson often plays in The Upsetters and very affectionately refers to the genius of Lee Perry as "Fully Mad" so, as one of my other favourite artists once said.... "If this is madness.... Then i'm filled with gladness"!!
5) The Jam - That's Entertainment
A perfectly crafted ode to the trials and tribulations of growing up as a teenager in the Suburbs of 1970s England.
6) The Specials - Friday Night Saturday Morning
The flip side of the fantastic GHOST TOWN.... another "Tragic Comedy" ditty from a superb outfit.. I often end my current DJ set with this and many younger people come up, really digging it, asking who it is... So its all-embracing" Friday night screw up" subject matter must still resonate to this day!!
7) John Barry - Mountains and Sunsets
From the moment i first saw 007 at the cinema John Barry's incredible spine tingling compositions blew me away.. Its impossible to choose my favourite from such a huge cannon of excellence, but this will always conjure up riding across Japan on "The Bullet Train" at a very unholy speed. staring out the window being mesmerised by the beautiful Japanese landscape during our Night Trains tour with United Future Organisation in the early 1990s.
8) The Isley Brothers - Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2)​
Superb politico floor filling funk from the Isley's and, against all odds, I think a few of us are still trying to do exactly that!!!
9) Terry Callier - I Don't Want To See Myself Without You
Terry Callier was a very obscure fantastic artist that Eddie Piller tracked down and signed to Acid Jazz in the twilight of his career.. He's sadly no longer with us... but very lucky for us... his music still is!!!!
10) Rip Rig & Panic - Bob Hope Takes Risks (12" Version)
Anarcho free blowing punk funk from Gareth Sager, and the gang featuring a very young Neneh Cherry.
11) Maceo Parker - Soul Power 74
The record that spearheaded the "Rare Groove" funk revival , secured my undying love for all things James Brown, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley,Marva Witney and Bobby Byrd and paved the way for the birth of Acid Jazz Records.
12) The Slickers - Johnny Too Bad
Reminds me of The Hammersmith Palais and The Lyceum, both great London New Wave /Punk venues in the late 70's early 80's Before the bands came on the sound person always played dub and reggae (to check the bottom end) and by doing so educated a whole new fan base into the joys of this genre..There is also something very poignantly melancholy about this beautiful tune (from the O.S.T of Jimmy Cliff's "THE HARDER THEY COME") that perfectly conjures up the potential consequences of a "misspent" " youth.​]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite back our good friend Dave Faze to create another amazing volume.
"The inspiration for this selection in part came from the guys at Dusk Dubs, through discussions we had a few years ago recounting our favourite club nights...
Stealth at The Blue Note in Hoxton Square was one of the ones I kept coming back to. I was buying a lot of tracks on Ninja Tune, Mo ‘Wax, Wall Of Sound & was also was heavily into my jungle & dnb too.
Ninja Tune began hosting their own night, Stealth, at the Blue Note in December of 1995, following a successful launch party for DJ Food’s Recipe For Disaster album at the venue. "It’s rare to find a club owner willing to let you experiment," remembers Coldcut’s Jonathan More, of Stealth. "Every great club night has been a combination of an open-minded club-owner, a wayward promoter, and a bunch of crazy people who want to do shit that nobody else is doing." - Taken from The Quietus - Ninja Tune Week: An Extract From Stevie Chick's 20 Years Of Beats & Pieces 
The Blue Note Club but especially Stealth, Ninja Tunes’ very own & revered club night (and Metalheadz, Anohka) were my regular haunts back in the day from 95-97 as well as other seminal clubs of the time (Turnmills, The End, Bagleys - all sadly retired to the annals of club land history - RIP). My selection on my 3rd outing for Dusk Dubs (big up Jon ‘The Oracle’ Gidman & all the DD crew!) encapsulates the sounds I experienced at that legendary night which still resonates with me over 20 years later....the 90s really were an special time for culture & music in general & feel privileged that I was part of it. 
Join the queue stretching round the corner of Hoxton Square in anticipation of a night of broken beats, jazz influenced, acid hazed & breakbeat fuelled vibes from the heart of east London! It’s funny but I never thought I’d be writing about this over 20 years on!!!". ​ 
I hope you enjoy it & if you were there, I hope it conjours up some memories of those great parties.[[ DAVE ]]

1) Cosmic Jam - DJ Food 
The first track of three from DJ Food (Strictly Kev aka Kevin Foakes) that I have selected. This tune originally appeared on Jazz Brakes Volume 2 in 1991 and then later appeared again on the seminal compilation ‘Flexistentialism’ in 1996. A perfect start to my mix; straight in with the funky breakbeats,  jazzy horns, flutes and trippy cosmic pads which were central to the vibes at Stealth. DJ Food along with Coldcut were the backbone to Ninja Tunes back in the early days so its fitting that we start our journey here.
2) What’s In The Basket – London Funk Allstars
Another big tune mixing the jazz vibes, classic hip hop beats & Ultra Magnetic MC ‘Easy Back’ sample – pure instrumental hip-hop that’s all about the music. Released in 1995 and taken from London Funk Volume 1 – a tune that was on heavy rotation for me as I loved the intro keys along with the moog! As well as my love for hip-hop it was also around this time that I got into Jazz in a big way and was listening to a lot of labels like Blue Note and Impulse! Records.
3) The Blend – The Herbaliser feat What What
This particular track takes me back to the top bar area at the Blue Note where they would regularly have freestyle sessions with local MC talent with DJ Food or Coldcut scratching up the beats – the place would go mad with the vibes and would go on for the duration of the night. Many a time I would stand transfixed, watching the DJ’s select funk, soul, brakes and hip-hop all night....absolutely amazing! Check the album ‘Blow Your Headphones’ by The Herbaliser...one of their best lp’s for sure.
4) Freedom (Fila Brazillia Mix) – Fila Brazillia
This track by Fila Brazillia is one of my favourites – came out on the DJ Food project of Refried Food Parts 1 & 2 in 1996...spacey, dreamlike production that transports you to that after party vibe (which for me always the best part of any night out haha!)...enjoy with whatever takes your fancy!
5) Sharp A2 – Luke Vibert
Was and is a massive fan of Luke Vibert – this track came out on James Lavelle’s Mo’Wax imprint on the Headz Part 2 compilation and for me was a stand out track at the time. The heavy and distorted beat with the melancholic keys and discordant strings sets the tone for this emotional piece. Also around the time of DJ Shadow’s ‘Entroducing’ – it almost feels that this should have been on the lp. The trip-hop sound really coming  to the fore with this one – a prominent theme throughout the Stealth nights.
6) Revolutionary Woman Of The Windmill (Parts 1 and 2) – Up, Bustle and Out
1 2 3 Alto Y Fuero – Up, Bustle and Out
7) An Unmarked Grave (In Memory of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid) – Up, Bustle and Out
In 1995 - 1997 I was fortunate to catch Up, Bustle and Out live at both Stealth and at Glastonbury Festival on the Jazz Stage. A collective of musicians and DJ’s that took their inspiration from the sounds of South America and in particular that of Peru, Mexico and Brazil fusing the funk, hip hop as well as utilising traditional drums and flutes in their tracks. The tracks I have selected from Up,  Bustle and Out all have that experimental vibes that Stealth was all about and its why they feature heavily in this selection....funky, jazzy yet at times dark and brooding and a but trippy!
10) Consciousness – DJ Food
Back to DJ Food of course. Blissed out and laid back dreamy trip hop at its best – I think that best sums this one up...no words really necessary...just enjoy the vibes!!
11) She Don’t Lie – Ceasefire
Somewhat overshadowed by the monster that is Trickshot on the A side sampling Carlito’s Way I thought this track ‘She Don’t Lie’ to be more appropriate for this selection. Another slick, trip hop funky affair taking you back to the smokey environs of the Blue Note dance floor.....wicked track for the heads.
12) Get Your Head Down – Luke Vibert
One word for this track – HUGE!! This always got reaction at Stealth! In my opinion, a masterclass in fusion of jazz and hip hop with the sample of ‘Hip Hop will rock and shock the nation’ always had me buzzing along with the stunning double bass and rolling snare hit and ride cymbals....Mr Vibert on top form here sampling Isaac Hayes and The Wu Tang Clan to great effect.
14) Sunvibes – DJ Food
Taken from one of the first Ninja Tune lps that I bought ‘Scratchmological Waxploitation’, DJ Food again brings the niceness to the fore...another tune for the after party crew.
The last four tracks in my selection – 15) Extreme Possibilities (Wagon Christ Remix) by 2 Player, 16) Fungle Junk by DJ Food, 17) Chasing Cities (Chasing Coconuts) by Zoot Woman and 18) In The Mood by Dillinja all are important tracks for me as at the Stealth nights the selection would invariably break into the experimental sounds of the jungle and dnb. I’ve chosen these tracks as they sum the period well in terms of what I heard down at some of the parties I went to at Stealth but also at Headz and at Anokha which were also held at The Blue Note.....exciting times!
In the words of the mighty DJ Food signing out ‘All good things must come to an end, and when they do,  it’s time to get back to where you Really Come From. See you around suckas: End of transMission’]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite back our good friend Dave Faze to create another amazing volume.
"The inspiration for this selection in part came from the guys at Dusk Dubs, through discussions we had a few years ago recounting our favourite club nights...
Stealth at The Blue Note in Hoxton Square was one of the ones I kept coming back to. I was buying a lot of tracks on Ninja Tune, Mo ‘Wax, Wall Of Sound & was also was heavily into my jungle & dnb too.
Ninja Tune began hosting their own night, Stealth, at the Blue Note in December of 1995, following a successful launch party for DJ Food’s Recipe For Disaster album at the venue. "It’s rare to find a club owner willing to let you experiment," remembers Coldcut’s Jonathan More, of Stealth. "Every great club night has been a combination of an open-minded club-owner, a wayward promoter, and a bunch of crazy people who want to do shit that nobody else is doing." - Taken from The Quietus - Ninja Tune Week: An Extract From Stevie Chick's 20 Years Of Beats & Pieces 
The Blue Note Club but especially Stealth, Ninja Tunes’ very own & revered club night (and Metalheadz, Anohka) were my regular haunts back in the day from 95-97 as well as other seminal clubs of the time (Turnmills, The End, Bagleys - all sadly retired to the annals of club land history - RIP). My selection on my 3rd outing for Dusk Dubs (big up Jon ‘The Oracle’ Gidman & all the DD crew!) encapsulates the sounds I experienced at that legendary night which still resonates with me over 20 years later....the 90s really were an special time for culture & music in general & feel privileged that I was part of it. 
Join the queue stretching round the corner of Hoxton Square in anticipation of a night of broken beats, jazz influenced, acid hazed & breakbeat fuelled vibes from the heart of east London! It’s funny but I never thought I’d be writing about this over 20 years on!!!". ​ 
I hope you enjoy it & if you were there, I hope it conjours up some memories of those great parties.[[ DAVE ]]

1) Cosmic Jam - DJ Food 
The first track of three from DJ Food (Strictly Kev aka Kevin Foakes) that I have selected. This tune originally appeared on Jazz Brakes Volume 2 in 1991 and then later appeared again on the seminal compilation ‘Flexistentialism’ in 1996. A perfect start to my mix; straight in with the funky breakbeats,  jazzy horns, flutes and trippy cosmic pads which were central to the vibes at Stealth. DJ Food along with Coldcut were the backbone to Ninja Tunes back in the early days so its fitting that we start our journey here.
2) What’s In The Basket – London Funk Allstars
Another big tune mixing the jazz vibes, classic hip hop beats & Ultra Magnetic MC ‘Easy Back’ sample – pure instrumental hip-hop that’s all about the music. Released in 1995 and taken from London Funk Volume 1 – a tune that was on heavy rotation for me as I loved the intro keys along with the moog! As well as my love for hip-hop it was also around this time that I got into Jazz in a big way and was listening to a lot of labels like Blue Note and Impulse! Records.
3) The Blend – The Herbaliser feat What What
This particular track takes me back to the top bar area at the Blue Note where they would regularly have freestyle sessions with local MC talent with DJ Food or Coldcut scratching up the beats – the place would go mad with the vibes and would go on for the duration of the night. Many a time I would stand transfixed, watching the DJ’s select funk, soul, brakes and hip-hop all night....absolutely amazing! Check the album ‘Blow Your Headphones’ by The Herbaliser...one of their best lp’s for sure.

This week we have a mixtape from Dusk Dubs very own Wilson Logan.
"My mixtape is a retrospective look across both mine and my dads records collections. It will contain a combination of tracks that i have heard him play as a kid, as well as stuff I’ve discovered myself and finally tracks from my own collection that i feel in someway have been influenced or moulded by these sounds. A Combination of folk, blues, rock and roll through to some new and old electronica." [[ WILSON ]]

"Music should do two things - It should make you remember , or it should make you forget.
I think this is particularly prevalent in both electronic music and the blues, speaking from a personal level anyway. 
I wrestled with ideas for this Mixtape for some time before deciding on my final “angle”. 
Ive always loved my dads record collection. It might not be the biggest in the world, or the most musically diverse, but as most collections do, it tells a story. Coming from Northern Ireland had an effect on the music both myself and my father were brought up with.
Rock n Roll, Country and Blues were at the forefront of what was being played on the radio and in bars across the country. 
For this mixtape I’ve got back to my roots, its a retrospective looks across both mine and my dads record collections. Its a commentary on how my tastes now have been, and continue to develop in response to those well packed and ordered beautiful slaps of 12” plastic. 
I thought about writing a bit about each track before i recorded this mixtape…….. i didn’t expect it to be 32 tracks long. Therefore I’m going to pick out select tracks and let the rest of them speak for themselves.
I started with this Muddy Waters track, i could have picked a few different openers but this one from Muddy is a real statement track, its him at his raw and honest best. Thats a bit of a theme across this mixtape, the rawness of some of the blues, i think its something that attracts me to it, soulful yet scratchy and raw, you can feel the emotion pour out of him as he plays this track. 
We then move onto B.B King and Hendrix. I remember one of the first times i properly heard and appreciated B.B King, i was maybe 15….. the tones BB produced from that sweet, sweet guitar he famously named Lucille, its still gets me to this day. Theres a funk and a rhythm to BB’s work that i believe is unmatched to this day, even amongst the higher echelons of the guitar community. 
Then we move onto Mr Hendrix…. what can i say thats not been said a thousand times over since he passed….The greatest…. he’s up there in my books. The Particular tracks I’ve picked out for this mixtape come from an earlier time than the Hendrix Experience stuff. Thats what i had mostly been exposed to as a youth, but when i found this record i was blown away by again the rawness of it. For me this is Hendrix finding his feet and developing his sound. You can hear his influence across many of the other artists in this mixtape. 
In between B.B King, Hendrix and Muddy i slipped in a Shadows track. Its only recently I’ve come to appreciate the Shadows and how important they were for everything that came after them. “Apache” was released in July 1960 and is truely the sound of the times, maybe slightly more Californian than north coast of Northern Ireland but for me its music to get very much lost in. 
Continuing on we move through some more Hendrix and Shadows until we land on one of the greatest guitar plays that a lot of people haven’t heard of but having wrestled with the decision he is , in my humble opinion, the best. Certainly the greatest to come from the emerald isle. He was taken far too early at the age of just 47, although significantly longer than some of his peers, it is true what they say about the brightest star. The way he plays that guitar is almost unmatched. At its peak its like a screaming banshee, at its most gentle its on par with some of B.B Kings finest moments. If you haven’t already i urge everyone to get into his back catalogue of music, you simply wont be disappointed. If it hadn’t been for my father i doubt i would have ever discovered Gallagher and for that i am eternally grateful. 
Working though the selections, I had to add a few of these. It was hard to pick out of all the stuff from Clapton, Deep Purple and ZZ Top, They are stables in my Dads collection and stuff that i always remember hearing as a kid. 
“Old Blue Jeans” by ZZ Top. WHAT.A.RECORD. The feelings and emotion running through this record is unbelievable, matched with the vocal performance, it is taken it to another level. As i sat and listened to this record all i could think about however, was the late Chris Cornell, of Soundgarden and Audioslave. He has an incredibly similar voice and i think he would have killed this song given the chance. 
We move, with a small stop at “The Stones”. They’re up their in my dads favourites so it would be criminal to not include them, i debated which track to go for as there are simply too many to pick from. I went with “Beast of Burden”. Again i think its the emotion in Jaggers voice that really struck a chord with me, and as always Keith Richards is sensational on guitar. Up there as one of my favourite Stones tracks. 
Next we roll onto Joe Bonamassa. I think this is the first artist on the list that i introduced my dad to, as opposed to the other way around. 
All of the Bonamassa tracks in this mixtape are taken from my Live in London album. I instantly fell in love with his sound when i first heard it. I feel like he was born in the wrong era to be fully appreciated, he wouldn’t be out of place in a smokey club in the mid 1970s, yet we are blessed with him in our modern era, proving the blues and rock and roll spirit are well and truly still alive. I mean…. the guy opened up for B.B King when he was just 12 years old. Thats all you need to know. 
Following on from that we have probably my favourite Rory Gallagher song, “Sinner Boy”. It starts in a low, mellow tone, until that “drop”. A real Wooooshhh moment. Just try and not nod your head to this, infact try and not move your entire body to this as he slides his way up and down the fret board, and that baseline…… what more do i need to say. 
After that assault from Gallagher i had to include some Joy division , i love Joy Divison and my love stems from what has gone before in this mixtape and plenty that i couldn’t include, Black Sabbath, AC/DC , Iron Maiden, all of which were on heavy rotation growing up. 
We then start to move away from the blues side of things and into the regions of psychedelic rock. My original love was and always has been Pink Floyd, but i think my current love of weird electronic music and sounds stems from Hawkwind, there is definitely a correlation between them and my obsession with Sci-Fi and gritty urban sounds. 
The next two tracks are what i can only describe as curve balls. I didnt have them included in the draft of my original tracklist and were only added at the last minute, however they are just as important as the rest of the selections. Taxi Driver is one of my favourite films, it had a profound effect on my adolescence, so much so that i did my entire GCSE art project around themes and ideas from the movie, as well as lifting a number of tracks from the score. When this was released on vinyl a few years ago i instantly dived on it. The dialogue track and the dialogue of the film in general is some of my favourite and in my opinion some of the most powerful in all of cinema. 
Moving on the final part of this mixtape contains tracks that are all taken from my collection and although none of them could particularly be classed as “Blues” i feel that they are all in someway connected to those sounds and feelings of the earlier tracks. 
I hope this overview of my mixtape has given people a bit of an insight into my musical upbringing. Its one of the arms of my musical self, there are many more. But thats a story for another day. 
For now, pour a whiskey, get comfortable and enjoy some of my favourite music. "]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we have a mixtape from Dusk Dubs very own Wilson Logan.
"My mixtape is a retrospective look across both mine and my dads records collections. It will contain a combination of tracks that i have heard him play as a kid, as well as stuff I’ve discovered myself and finally tracks from my own collection that i feel in someway have been influenced or moulded by these sounds. A Combination of folk, blues, rock and roll through to some new and old electronica." [[ WILSON ]]

"Music should do two things - It should make you remember , or it should make you forget.
I think this is particularly prevalent in both electronic music and the blues, speaking from a personal level anyway. 
I wrestled with ideas for this Mixtape for some time before deciding on my final “angle”. 
Ive always loved my dads record collection. It might not be the biggest in the world, or the most musically diverse, but as most collections do, it tells a story. Coming from Northern Ireland had an effect on the music both myself and my father were brought up with.
Rock n Roll, Country and Blues were at the forefront of what was being played on the radio and in bars across the country. 
For this mixtape I’ve got back to my roots, its a retrospective looks across both mine and my dads record collections. Its a commentary on how my tastes now have been, and continue to develop in response to those well packed and ordered beautiful slaps of 12” plastic. 
I thought about writing a bit about each track before i recorded this mixtape…….. i didn’t expect it to be 32 tracks long. Therefore I’m going to pick out select tracks and let the rest of them speak for themselves.
I started with this Muddy Waters track, i could have picked a few different openers but this one from Muddy is a real statement track, its him at his raw and honest best. Thats a bit of a theme across this mixtape, the rawness of some of the blues, i think its something that attracts me to it, soulful yet scratchy and raw, you can feel the emotion pour out of him as he plays this track. 
We then move onto B.B King and Hendrix. I remember one of the first times i properly heard and appreciated B.B King, i was maybe 15….. the tones BB produced from that sweet, sweet guitar he famously named Lucille, its still gets me to this day. Theres a funk and a rhythm to BB’s work that i believe is unmatched to this day, even amongst the higher echelons of the guitar community. 
Then we move onto Mr Hendrix…. what can i say thats not been said a thousand times over since he passed….The greatest…. he’s up there in my books. The Particular tracks I’ve picked out for this mixtape come from an earlier time than the Hendrix Experience stuff. Thats what i had mostly been exposed to as a youth, but when i found this record i was blown away by again the rawness of it. For me this is Hendrix finding his feet and developing his sound. You can hear his influence across many of the other artists in this mixtape. 
In between B.B King, Hendrix and Muddy i slipped in a Shadows track. Its only recently I’ve come to appreciate the Shadows and how important they were for everything that came after them. “Apache” was released in July 1960 and is truely the sound of the times, maybe slightly more Californian than north coast of Northern Ireland but for me its music to get very much lost in. 
Continuing on we move through some more Hendrix and Shadows until we land on one of the greatest guitar plays that a lot of people haven’t heard of but having wrestled with the decision he is , in my humble opinion, the best. Certainly the greatest to come from the emerald isle. He was taken far too early at the age of just 47, although significantly longer than some of his peers, it is true what they say about the brightest star. The way he plays that guitar is almost unmatched. At its peak its like a screaming banshee, at its most gentle its on par with some of B.B Kings finest moments. If you haven’t already i urge everyone to get into his back catalogue of music, you simply wont be disappointed. If it hadn’t been for my father i doubt i would have ever discovered Gallagher and for that i am eternally grateful. 
Working though the selections, I had to add a few of these. It was hard to pick out of all the stuff from Clapton, Deep Purple and ZZ Top, They are stables in my Dads collection and stuff that i always remember hearing as a kid. 
“Old Blue Jeans” by ZZ Top. WHAT.A.RECORD. The feelings and emotion running through this record is unbelievable, matched with the vocal performance, it is taken it to another level. As i sat and listened to this record all i could think about however, was the late Chris Cornell, of Soundgarden and Audioslave. He has an incredibly similar voice and i think he would have killed this song given the chance. 
We move, with a small stop at “The Stones”. They’re up their in my dads favourites so it would be criminal to not include them, i debated which track to go for as there are simply too many to pick from. I went with “Beast of Burden”. Again i think its the emotion in Jaggers voice that really struck a chord with me, and as always Keith Richards is sensational on guitar. Up there as one of my favourite Stones tracks. 
Next we roll onto Joe Bonamassa. I think this is the first artist on the list that i introduced my dad to, as opposed to the other way around. 
All of the Bonamassa tracks in this mixtape are taken from my Live in London album. I instantly fell in love with his sound when i first heard it. I feel like he was born in the wrong era to be fully appreciated, he wouldn’t be out of place in a smokey club in the mid 1970s, yet we are blessed with him in our modern era, proving the blues and rock and roll spirit are well and truly still alive. I mean…. the guy opened up for B.B King when he was just 12 years old. Thats all you need to know. 
Following on from that we have probably my favourite Rory Gallagher song, “Sinner Boy”. It starts in a low, mellow tone, until that “drop”. A real Wooooshhh moment. Just try and not nod your head to this, infact try and not move your entire body to this as he slides his way up and down the fret board, and that baseline…… what more do i need to say. 
After that assault from Gallagher i had to include some Joy division , i love Joy Divison and my love stems from what has gone before in this mixtape and plenty that i couldn’t include, Black Sabbath, AC/DC , Iron Maiden, all of which were on heavy rotation growing up. 
We then start to move away from the blues side of things and into the regions of psychedelic rock. My original love was and always has been Pink Floyd, but i think my current love of weird electronic music and sounds stems from Hawkwind, there is definitely a correlation between them and my obsession with Sci-Fi and gritty urban sounds. 
The next two tracks are what i can only describe as curve balls. I didnt have them included in the draft of my original tracklist and were only added at the last minute, however they are just as important as the rest of the selections. Taxi Driver is one of my favourite films, it had a profound effect on my adolescence, so much so that i did my entire GCSE art project around themes and ideas from the movie, as well as lifting a number of tracks from the score. When this was released on vinyl a few years ago i instantly dived on it. The dialogue track and the dialogue of the film in general is some of my favourite and in my opinion some of the most powerful in all of cinema. 
Moving on the final part of this mixtape contains tracks that are all taken from my collection and although none of them could particularly be classed as “Blues” i feel that they are all in someway connected to those sounds and feelings of the earlier tracks. 
I hope this overview of my mixtape has given people a bit of an insight into my musical upbringing. Its one of the arms of my musical self, there are many more. But thats a story for another day. 
For now, pour a whiskey, get comfortable and enjoy some of my favourite music. "]]></itunes:summary>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite Twistedsoul's Colin Smith to the Dusk Dubs family,
"Music of an almost other-worldly beauty... I've always had an open mind when it comes to music, the most important thing for me is the imaginary and spiritually a track conjures up upon listening. Oh, and it also has to have the 'groove'.
In the main, I've gone for more recent tracks with a few oldies in there but this tiny selection is a good starting point to the tracks that have shaped me over both past years and present.
Thanks to Dusk Dubs for the invite and for curating a mix series that allows the tracks to be heard the way artists intended in there entirety.
Happy listening folks!" [[ COLIIN ]]

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite the "Afro-Futurist" Ashley Beedle to the Dusk Dubs family. Whether its DJ'ing, producing, remixing or running numerous record labels, Mr Beedle has that magic touch, so much so that Daft Punk once referred to him as one of the “Teachers”.
"In 2017, Dusk Dubs asked me to compile my ‘Dusk Dubs’ playlist….finally, in 2019 I’ve got round to doing it – but I’ve had a fantastically reflective time doing this. It’s hard to talk about music that’s been so ingrained in my psyche but I hope these selections show what makes me tick. Enjoy!" [[ASHLEY]]
Ashley Beedle first began DJing during the 1980s and made a name for himself during the heyday of Acid House. In the early 1990s, he teamed up with Rob Mello and John Howard to form the first incarnation of the Black Science Orchestra, signed to the legendary dance label, Junior Boys Own. After releasing the seminal club classic ‘Where Were You?', BSO’s production unit morphed and evolved with Uschi Classen and Marc Woodford and tracks like 'Strong' and ‘Philadelphia' were released as well as the 1994 debut album 'Walter's Room' and deep house classic ‘New Jersey Deep’.
While working with the Black Science Orchestra, Ashley started another project known as The Ballistic Brothers with Dave Hill, Uschi Classen, Rocky & Diesel spawning the 'Ballistic Brothers vs The Eccentric Afros' Pt 1 & 2 EP plus 'Blacker' (a favourite of Prince’s) and the 1995 LP, 'London Hooligan Soul'. In 1997, the Ballistic Brothers released their second album, 'Rude System' while at the same time, Ashley was working on a multitude of projects including Black Jazz Chronicles, Roots Revolutions and Rising Sunz with Uschi Classen and Phil Asher.
Running parallel with the Ballistic Brothers, Ashley was a founding member of the group X-Press 2, with fellow DJs Rocky and Diesel performing on 6 decks and 3 CDJ players. They scored global dance chart action through the 90’s and 00’s with tracks such as 'Muzik Xpress', 'Say What' and 'London Xpress' and charted at #2 in the UK Top 40 with their global hit 'Lazy', their collaboration with Talking Heads' David Byrne which earnt Ashley an Ivor Novello award. X-Press 2 also released two albums, 'Muzikisum' and 'Makeshift Feelgood'.
From the late 90's onwards, Ashley continued to remix and produce, releasing the milestone 'Grass Roots' compilation in 1999 and between 2001 – 2003, Bent's 'Always' + ‘Magic Love’ and The Streets 'Weak Become Heroes' all received the Beedle remix treatment. Ashley’s remix of Elton John’s ‘Are You Ready For Love’ catapulted the song to No.1 in the UK Singles Chart. In 2005, Beedle remixed Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up" with Damian "Junior Gong" Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" to create the mash-up 'Stand Up Jamrock (Ashley Beedle Remix)' which the Marley family loved so much they ended up including it on the Bob Marley compilation album 'Africa Unite: The Singles Collection'. The track went on to chart at #1 on the Jamaican National Charts.
Since 2015, Ashley has been working as part of the 'North Street' remix collective with North Street Studio One owner and musical genius, Darren Morris and Ramrock Records/F*CLR boss, Jo Wallace as well as solo remixes. In 2017, Ashley’s remixes of Stan Serkin’s ‘Save Me’ and Glenn Davis’ ‘Body & Soul’ reminded the international dance music community that he is a force majeure in the world of remixing and production and his remix of Mama’s ‘Unmask Me’ was voted the No.2 best single of 2017 by DJ History. 2019 already has a plethora of projects underway including Waterson’s debut album, an Afrikanz on Marz concept album and the reunion of the legendary Black Science Orchestra – watch this space….

Tracklisting
1) Alton & Eddie – Muriel
This would be the first record that I remember. My mum and dad used to play this old Bluebeat record and it’s got magical memories. It draws upon a time when my parents had house parties and there was always a very cosmopolitan crowd which was a wonderful environment for a mixed race child to grow up in. ‘Muriel’ was one of many bluebeat, ska and rocksteady records that my dad had in his collection and his love of all things eclectic gave me a great musical start in life.
2) Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone
My Dad always played this incredibly loudly on the stereogram – and that opening snare….it was a sign of things to come. Where Dylan’s head was when he wrote the lyrics, I have no idea. Theories abound and there’s finger pointing but putting all that to one side, this is one of the all-time greatest records for me personally – with the Hammond B3 playing of Al Kooper – what’s not to like.
3) The Byrds – Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)
Once again, my dad put me onto West Coast group, the Byrds. Along with inspiration from the Beatles and Dylan’s folk based compositions, this gave the group their musical starting point and I followed them until they splintered and went off to become Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Check out Roger McGuinn’s distinct 12 stringed Rickenbacker guitar.
4) Tremeloes – Here comes my baby
Even though the record was a lot older than me when I first heard it around 7 years old, I loved the groove. My mum used to dance me round the living room while I sang the chorus at the top of my voice….
5) The Beatles – Ticket to Ride
From the opening guitar riff to the ‘drone’ at the end, this was the sound of the Beatles going deep. This influenced so many other artists including the Byrds – see what I did there? Reflecting on the track in later years, I realised how pivotal ‘Ticket to Ride’ was for the Beatles. From that point onwards, they stopped being the mop topped lads from Liverpool and took us all on a magical mystery tour….
6) Sparks – This town ain’t big enough
Any song that starts with the lyric ‘Zoo time, is she and you time?’ gets my vote. Gunshots, fade in intro, demented Top of The Pops performance from the Mael Brothers – what’s not to like. A proto punk/ glam rock hybrid – this lead and others followed. A phenomenal track from 1974 making it all the more remarkable.
7) Adverts – Gary Gilmore’s Eyes
In 1977, the Adverts released their controversial 45 – ‘Gary Gilmore’s Eyes’ b/w the popular B side ‘Bored Teenagers’. The thought provoking lyrics describe a patient laying in a hospital bed after having had a cornea transplant and finding out on the news about the donor. Plus, I really fancied Gaye Advert…..
8) Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash – Girl from the North Country
9) Bruce Springsteen – Kitty’s Back
10) The Band – The Weight
A remarkable hat trick of country/rock/folk/soul tinged masterpieces all introduced to me around the time when I was 13. The impact they collectively made on my musical formative years was immense. You can’t really argue with these powerhouses!
11) Funkadelic – Funky Dollar Bill
I had a friend called Terry who introduced me to all manner of good grooves. Far ahead of his contemporaries, Terry unleashed this monster while we were listening to vinyl during one of our regular ‘record reviews’ in his bedroom at his parent’s house in Harrow where I lived at the time. Recorded 7 years earlier in 1970, I was 15 when I first heard ‘Funky Dollar Bill’ and it had lost none of its edge – hard Detroit rock and roll played by a black funk band. Truly "A Parliafunkadelic Thang"!
12) Crown Heights Affair – Far Out
13) Slave – You + Me
And then the Lord said – let there be Jazz Funk – and there was! Terry and I travelled far afield from Harrow in search of new music and ended up in The Hop Bine in Wembley! In the function room at the back of the pub, DJs Andy Mann & Greg Jenson kept the local youth up to date with hot imports from the U.S.A – along with their mobile DJ set up with the revolutionary sound to flashing disco lights. ‘Far Out’ + ‘You and Me’ blew my teenage mind – and to this day, I still get the adrenalin rush….
14) Bob Marley & Wailers – Natty Dread
15) Johnny Osbourne – In the area
16) Paul Davidson – Midnight Rider
Running parallel with my ‘soul boy’ persona was my love of conscious reggae + the incoming stream of wonderful sides from JA. During my teens, ‘Natty Dread’ enabled me to feel equally balanced in an unbalanced society. Being mixed race, I could identify with Bob Marley and it helped dispel a lot of racist attitudes towards me at school and socially. Using the ‘Stalag’ rhythm, Johnny Osbourne’s ‘In the area’ was a taster of things on the reggae horizon – early dancehall at its finest. And then, Paul Davidson’s ‘Midnight Rider’ – a cover of the Allman Brothers classic, recorded at Harry J’s studios under the watchful eye of Pluto Shervington, ‘Midnight Rider’ was as essential as John Holt’s ‘1000 Volts of Holt’ in any Caribbean household’s record collection.
17) Mark Murphy – On The Red Clay
A cover of Freddie Hubbard’s 1970’s version. Outstanding jazz from Mr Murphy in 1975. I was put onto this by Patrick Forge – which brings us neatly onto….
18) Brand Nubian – All For One
Taken from their ‘One for all’ album and included on Patrick Forge’s & Julian Palmer’s hugely influential 1992 ‘Rebirth of Cool Too’ compilation, ‘All for one’ burst onto the hip hop scene in the UK in 1990. I was working in Black Market Records in London’s Soho and I could hear someone playing a track downstairs and thinking ‘what is this???’ The release FLEW out of the shop – it was so exciting and so exhilarating – it was one of those ‘you had to be there’ moments.
19) Public Enemy – Rebel without a pause
A meteorite of a record – us sound system boys didn’t know what had hit us. But trust me, when we dropped this the first time at the 1987 Notting Hill Carnival when I was with Shock Sound System, the neighbourhood shook. Incendiary hip hop!!
20) David Bowie – Young Americans
21) Orange Juice – Simply Thrilled Honey
22) Hüsker Dü – Love is all around
23) A Certain Ratio – Shack Up
Like Picasso, this is what I like to call my ‘blue period’ group of records – not defined by date but more by content. I’ve always been a huge fan of ‘blue eyed soul’ and Mr Bowie’s Philly release ‘Young Americans’ blew up not only on the London soul scene but globally. Follow that with the dulcet tones of Orange Juice frontman, Edwyn Collins and you begin to get my drift. Hüsker Dü elbow their way into the selection – not soul but soulful in its own unique way. Who else could make the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme sound so radical? And then A Certain Ratio’s leftfield New Wave take on Banbarra’s 1975 funk classic ‘Shack Up’ – giving it a refreshingly ‘British’ angle.
24) Jungle Wonz – Time Marches On
Purchased in 1987, Croydon, Mi Price Records, Jazzy M at the controls. Hard to pick a defining track in my historical House music lineage but Jungle Wonz ‘Time Marches On’, produced by Marshall Jefferson & Harry Dennis on Chicago based Trax Records pinpoints that moment. Another massive sound for Shock Sound System at Carnival….trust me, IT WENT OFF!!
25) Sun Ra & the Sun Ra Arkestra – Sleeping Beauty
Lady Di had passed on the day that Gilles Peterson was presenting his Radio London show. He played the full length version of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ in her memory which I thought was very respectful of him to do during a strangely unsettling time in the media. Thanks to Gilles, I began my exploration of the Universe according to Sun Ra – still out there exploring!
26) X-Press 2 ft. David Byrne – Lazy
I’ve included this – not as an ego trip but as a thanks to David, Rocky and Diesel for giving me one of the most extraordinary periods of my musical career. ‘Lazy’ enabled me to travel the world, meet people from all walks of life, opened doors that I could never have opened before and I even got to appear on Top of the Pops – what more could I ever ask for?
29) Glen Campbell – Guess I’m Dumb
28) Joseph Malik – Love Bound (A Wallace & Morris ‘North Street’ Remix)
Finally, a ‘Back to the Future’ moment. I was introduced to ‘Guess I’m Dumb’ and to Joseph Malik via my partner, Jo Wallace. ‘Guess I’m Dumb’ is, for me, Glen’s finest hour – a 1965 slab of Beat Ballad perfection, arranged and produced by the Beach Boy’s Brian Wilson and underpinned by the magnificent L.A session musicians, the Wrecking Crew. Fast forward to 2018 – Jo Wallace + Darren Morris take Joseph Malik’s original version of ‘Love Bound’ from his ‘Diverse Part 2’ LP and apply their ‘North Street Remix’ production + arrangement skills to pay homage to the masters that went before – Teddy Randazzo, Jerry Ragovoy and Burt Bacharach to name but a few. Darren Morris’s additional keyboards and Jo’s understanding of the atmospherics of 60’s ballads resulted in a modern day masterpiece.]]></description>

Time:  123 Minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite the "Afro-Futurist" Ashley Beedle to the Dusk Dubs family. Whether its DJ'ing, producing, remixing or running numerous record labels, Mr Beedle has that magic touch, so much so that Daft Punk once referred to him as one of the “Teachers”.
"In 2017, Dusk Dubs asked me to compile my ‘Dusk Dubs’ playlist….finally, in 2019 I’ve got round to doing it – but I’ve had a fantastically reflective time doing this. It’s hard to talk about music that’s been so ingrained in my psyche but I hope these selections show what makes me tick. Enjoy!" [[ASHLEY]]
Ashley Beedle first began DJing during the 1980s and made a name for himself during the heyday of Acid House. In the early 1990s, he teamed up with Rob Mello and John Howard to form the first incarnation of the Black Science Orchestra, signed to the legendary dance label, Junior Boys Own. After releasing the seminal club classic ‘Where Were You?', BSO’s production unit morphed and evolved with Uschi Classen and Marc Woodford and tracks like 'Strong' and ‘Philadelphia' were released as well as the 1994 debut album 'Walter's Room' and deep house classic ‘New Jersey Deep’.
While working with the Black Science Orchestra, Ashley started another project known as The Ballistic Brothers with Dave Hill, Uschi Classen, Rocky & Diesel spawning the 'Ballistic Brothers vs The Eccentric Afros' Pt 1 & 2 EP plus 'Blacker' (a favourite of Prince’s) and the 1995 LP, 'London Hooligan Soul'. In 1997, the Ballistic Brothers released their second album, 'Rude System' while at the same time, Ashley was working on a multitude of projects including Black Jazz Chronicles, Roots Revolutions and Rising Sunz with Uschi Classen and Phil Asher.
Running parallel with the Ballistic Brothers, Ashley was a founding member of the group X-Press 2, with fellow DJs Rocky and Diesel performing on 6 decks and 3 CDJ players. They scored global dance chart action through the 90’s and 00’s with tracks such as 'Muzik Xpress', 'Say What' and 'London Xpress' and charted at #2 in the UK Top 40 with their global hit 'Lazy', their collaboration with Talking Heads' David Byrne which earnt Ashley an Ivor Novello award. X-Press 2 also released two albums, 'Muzikisum' and 'Makeshift Feelgood'.
From the late 90's onwards, Ashley continued to remix and produce, releasing the milestone 'Grass Roots' compilation in 1999 and between 2001 – 2003, Bent's 'Always' + ‘Magic Love’ and The Streets 'Weak Become Heroes' all received the Beedle remix treatment. Ashley’s remix of Elton John’s ‘Are You Ready For Love’ catapulted the song to No.1 in the UK Singles Chart. In 2005, Beedle remixed Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up" with Damian "Junior Gong" Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" to create the mash-up 'Stand Up Jamrock (Ashley Beedle Remix)' which the Marley family loved so much they ended up including it on the Bob Marley compilation album 'Africa Unite: The Singles Collection'. The track went on to chart at #1 on the Jamaican National Charts.
Since 2015, Ashley has been working as part of the 'North Street' remix collective with North Street Studio One owner and musical genius, Darren Morris and Ramrock Records/F*CLR boss, Jo Wallace as well as solo remixes. In 2017, Ashley’s remixes of Stan Serkin’s ‘Save Me’ and Glenn Davis’ ‘Body & Soul’ reminded the international dance music community that he is a force majeure in the world of remixing and production and his remix of Mama’s ‘Unmask Me’ was voted the No.2 best single of 2017 by DJ History. 2019 already has a plethora of projects underway including Waterson’s debut album, an Afrikanz on Marz concept album and the reunion of the legendary Black Science Orchestra – watch this space….

Tracklisting
1) Alton & Eddie – Muriel
This would be the first record that I remember. My mum and dad used to play this old Bluebeat record and it’s got magical memories. It draws upon a time when my parents had house parties and there was always a very cosmopolitan crowd which was a wonderful environment for a mixed race child to grow up in. ‘Muriel’ was one of many bluebeat, ska and rocksteady records that my dad had in his collection and his love of all things eclectic gave me a great musical start in life.
2) Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone
My Dad always played this incredibly loudly on the stereogram – and that opening snare….it was a sign of things to come. Where Dylan’s head was when he wrote the lyrics, I have no idea. Theories abound and there’s finger pointing but putting all that to one side, this is one of the all-time greatest records for me personally – with the Hammond B3 playing of Al Kooper – what’s not to like.
3) The Byrds – Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)
Once again, my dad put me onto West Coast group, the Byrds. Along with inspiration from the Beatles and Dylan’s folk based compositions, this gave the group their musical starting point and I followed them until they splintered and went off to become Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Check out Roger McGuinn’s distinct 12 stringed Rickenbacker guitar.
4) Tremeloes – Here comes my baby
Even though the record was a lot older than me when I first heard it around 7 years old, I loved the groove. My mum used to dance me round the living room while I sang the chorus at the top of my voice….
5) The Beatles – Ticket to Ride
From the opening guitar riff to the ‘drone’ at the end, this was the sound of the Beatles going deep. This influenced so many other artists including the Byrds – see what I did there? Reflecting on the track in later years, I realised how pivotal ‘Ticket to Ride’ was for the Beatles. From that point onwards, they stopped being the mop topped lads from Liverpool and took us all on a magical mystery tour….
6) Sparks – This town ain’t big enough
Any song that starts with the lyric ‘Zoo time, is she and you time?’ gets my vote. Gunshots, fade in intro, demented Top of The Pops performance from the Mael Brothers – what’s not to like. A proto punk/ glam rock hybrid – this lead and others followed. A phenomenal track from 1974 making it all the more remarkable.
7) Adverts – Gary Gilmore’s Eyes
In 1977, the Adverts released their controversial 45 – ‘Gary Gilmore’s Eyes’ b/w the popular B side ‘Bored Teenagers’. The thought provoking lyrics describe a patient laying in a hospital bed after having had a cornea transplant and finding out on the news about the donor. Plus, I really fancied Gaye Advert…..
8) Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash – Girl from the North Country
9) Bruce Springsteen – Kitty’s Back
10) The Band – The Weight
A remarkable hat trick of country/rock/folk/soul tinged masterpieces all introduced to me around the time when I was 13. The impact they collectively made on my musical formative years was immense. You can’t really argue with these powerhouses!
11) Funkadelic – Funky Dollar Bill
I had a friend called Terry who introduced me to all manner of good grooves. Far ahead of his contemporaries, Terry unleashed this monster while we were listening to vinyl during one of our regular ‘record reviews’ in his bedroom at his parent’s house in Harrow where I lived at the time.

Truly "A Parliafunkadelic Thang"!
12) Crown Heights Affair – Far Out
13) Slave – You + Me
And then the Lord said – let there be Jazz Funk – and there was! Terry and I travelled far afield from Harrow in search of new music and ended up in The Hop Bine in Wembley! In the function room at the back of the pub, DJs Andy Mann & Greg Jenson kept the local youth up to date with hot imports from the U.S.A – along with their mobile DJ set up with the revolutionary sound to flashing disco lights. ‘Far Out’ + ‘You and Me’ blew my teenage mind – and to this day, I still get the adrenalin rush….
14) Bob Marley & Wailers – Natty Dread
15) Johnny Osbourne – In the area
16) Paul Davidson – Midnight Rider
Running parallel with my ‘soul boy’ persona was my love of conscious reggae + the incoming stream of wonderful sides from JA. During my teens, ‘Natty Dread’ enabled me to feel equally balanced in an unbalanced society. Being mixed race, I could identify with Bob Marley and it helped dispel a lot of racist attitudes towards me at school and socially. Using the ‘Stalag’ rhythm, Johnny Osbourne’s ‘In the area’ was a taster of things on the reggae horizon – early dancehall at its finest.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
Closing out December and 2018, we invite alto saxophonist, composer and arranger Chris Bowden to the Dusk Dubs family, who shines a light on the music that connects him to different times from his youth.
Originally from Birmingham, UK, he began his professional career with The K-Creative in the early 1990's acid-jazz boom, and also worked with Palm Skin Productions, Jessica Lauren, and Jhelisa.
He has worked across a variety of genres from acoustic jazz to hip hop and drum and bass. As well as his solo releases he has contributed to music by 4 Hero, The Herbaliser, and The Heritage Orchestra among others. He is currently active with The Tomorrow Band and Scorched Earth.
"These are tunes mostly from my early youth and my 20’s.... so they’re all from my early youth then!!!....I have always loved Jazz, not because I understood it, but because how it made me feel. These tunes connect me to different times in my life, it’s interesting because I can see a direct relationship between this music and my career. Thanks for asking me, it’s been my absolute pleasure." [[CHRIS]]

You can catch Chris recreating one of his most revered albums, when he plays TIME CAPSULE ‘LIVE’ on 22nd January 2019.
For one night only the whole album will be recreated by Chris Bowden and a 12 piece “Time Capsule” Ensemble at London’s Union Chapel. Tickets HERE
“This is the album that connected it all.” Gilles Peterson 2018
Chris Bowden’s debut album Time Capsule was first released on Soul Jazz Records in 1992 to universal and widespread critical acclaim. Now 20 years on a new wave of current jazz artists led by the likes of Kamasi Washington in the USA and a host of British artists – Shabaka Hutchings, Sons of Kemet, Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Fourtet, Yussef Kamaal, Tenderlonious, Binker & Moses – have brought this original ground-breaking album into the limelight once more as a pivotal starting point, sharing many of the aesthetics of these current artists at work today.
Musically inspired by the spiritual jazz of John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Don Cherry et al paired with a modern electronic music sensibility. Chris Bowden’s Time Capsule has stood the test of time like few other albums (as the title of the album suggested), and remains a pivotal, wholly-successful and original experimental musical collage, a radical inspiration and forebearer to many of the best progressive jazz and electronic artists working today.
The album has been fully re-mastered by Soul Jazz Records and re-issued in 2018 (BUY HERE)

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Chris Bowden
Title: DD0540
Style: Soul, Jazz, OST, Downtempo
Time: 93 Minutes
Date: 2018-12-30
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
Closing out December and 2018, we invite alto saxophonist, composer and arranger Chris Bowden to the Dusk Dubs family, who shines a light on the music that connects him to different times from his youth.
Originally from Birmingham, UK, he began his professional career with The K-Creative in the early 1990's acid-jazz boom, and also worked with Palm Skin Productions, Jessica Lauren, and Jhelisa.
He has worked across a variety of genres from acoustic jazz to hip hop and drum and bass. As well as his solo releases he has contributed to music by 4 Hero, The Herbaliser, and The Heritage Orchestra among others. He is currently active with The Tomorrow Band and Scorched Earth.
"These are tunes mostly from my early youth and my 20’s.... so they’re all from my early youth then!!!....I have always loved Jazz, not because I understood it, but because how it made me feel. These tunes connect me to different times in my life, it’s interesting because I can see a direct relationship between this music and my career. Thanks for asking me, it’s been my absolute pleasure." [[CHRIS]]

You can catch Chris recreating one of his most revered albums, when he plays TIME CAPSULE ‘LIVE’ on 22nd January 2019.
For one night only the whole album will be recreated by Chris Bowden and a 12 piece “Time Capsule” Ensemble at London’s Union Chapel. Tickets HERE
“This is the album that connected it all.” Gilles Peterson 2018
Chris Bowden’s debut album Time Capsule was first released on Soul Jazz Records in 1992 to universal and widespread critical acclaim. Now 20 years on a new wave of current jazz artists led by the likes of Kamasi Washington in the USA and a host of British artists – Shabaka Hutchings, Sons of Kemet, Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Fourtet, Yussef Kamaal, Tenderlonious, Binker & Moses – have brought this original ground-breaking album into the limelight once more as a pivotal starting point, sharing many of the aesthetics of these current artists at work today.
Musically inspired by the spiritual jazz of John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Don Cherry et al paired with a modern electronic music sensibility. Chris Bowden’s Time Capsule has stood the test of time like few other albums (as the title of the album suggested), and remains a pivotal, wholly-successful and original experimental musical collage, a radical inspiration and forebearer to many of the best progressive jazz and electronic artists working today.
The album has been fully re-mastered by Soul Jazz Records and re-issued in 2018 (BUY HERE)

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This weekend we invite vinyl junkie and DJ Paydro Bar to the Dusk Dubs family, with a selection of personal favourites from his amazing record collection.
Paydro, first got into vinyl as a five year old watching his Dad play various genres on vinyl and was instantly hooked, his Dad taught him how to look after and care for vinyl which he has never forgotten and still prides himself on how well kept his collection is.
He bought his first record at 13 years old and has never looked back, started off playing at local house parties in his teens which later lead him to play on underground pirate radio stations like Shine FM he eventually took a break from playing on the radio but still continued to buy vinyl of different genres.
Around 2015 he met a friend who would get him back onto the radio where he became a member of the Hip Hop Back In The Day crew playing golden era Hip Hop once month with the other crew members in rotation, on Westside Radio, shortly after that he would find himself doing a twice monthly Jungle/D&B show on lifefm.tv and also a Hip Hop show on Mondays again in rotation with the other HHBITD members which he still does currently.
His most recent new show is The Breaks & Soul Show every Tuesday from 6pm to 8pm on itch.fm,
"The songs in this selection are songs that are personal favourites from my collection so sit back, relax and enjoy the journey" [[ PAYDRO BARR ]].

Tracklisting
1) Rotary Connection Feat. Minnie Riperton - Respect
Got put onto this song as a teenager while collecting music by Minnie Riperton after being blown away with her 5 octave vocal range and the love of her making this Otis Redding written classic her own on this version.
2) Roy Ayers - We Live In Brooklyn
Love this track, can’t remember when I first heard it but it’s always been a favourite of mine, Roy Ayers can do no wrong.
3) Ahmad Jamal - Misdemeanor
First came across this track as part of the riding of the rare groove era in the early 90’s when everyone was playing the Foster Sylvers version, my love of Hip Hop and the need to track samples lead me to this version by way of the Gangstarr track “Soliloquy of chaos”.
4) Vanessa Kendricks - 90% Of Me Is You
Another stone cold classic and favourite of mine, love the Gwen Mcrae version but again my love of Hip Hop lead me to find this version as it was this version that was used by Main Source on “Just Hanging Out”.
5) The Headhunters - If You’ve Got It You’ll Get It
Just like most people, I’m a big fan of Herbie Hancock and yet again another track I was lead to by way of Hip Hop song “They Call Me Puma” by Seborn & Puma. This original version by the headhunters is perfect in every way from the mellow beginning through to the psychedelic middle and finally the wind down end, the song goes full circle, love it.
6) We The People - Forgotten Man
Got put on to this song by my good friend and Life FM colleague John Watts, he’s big on rare grooves, soul and all things funky, so yeah big ups to him.
7) The Soul Searchers - Ashley’s Roachclip
One of the first breaks I ever heard apart from your standard ones like funky drummer etc, I think I heard this on one of those Ultimate Breaks & Beats compilations back in the day.
8) Gentle Giant - The Advent of Panurge
Love this simply because of the style changes within the song I just love the fact that artists could be creative like that as opposed to the robotic formula of pop songs today, and then out of nowhere you get blessed with the “Look at my friend” sample R.I.P Dilla.
9) Pleasure - Bouncy Lady
Heard on of my uncle’s playing this as a kid, had a few uncles that had dope record collections and one uncle in particular used to let us look through and play his records we’d be there hours playing stuff and looking at the covers.
10) Ohio Players - Pride & Vanity
I used to see this in the window of a record shop on the Harrow Road as a kid and always wondered what the album sounded like, found out years afterwards when I was able to listen to it when record shops used to let you listen to things, bought it and it now lives in my collection with their other albums.
11) Andrew Ashong - Flowers
This track I heard on a mixtape I was listening to in bed with headphones on, I had dozed off and this song woke me up, I looked through the track listing of the mixtape got the name and bought the record the following weekend.
12) Thundercat - Them Changes
What can I say about this dude right here? Absolute genius, nuff said.
13) Jill Scott - Whenever You’re Around
One of my all time favourite singers from just after the 90’s she’s gone from strength to strength and her live shows are off the chain, love all her tracks but this one here does it for me.
14) Amerie - Need You Tonight
Another one of my favourite singers, very underrated but I place her above certain other singers who currently get all the limelight, yep I said it.
15) Omar - The Man
This man’s the UK’s finest, and has made some timeless classics, this is homegrown soul done to perfection.
16) The Brand New Heavies - Sometimes (Ummah Mix)
Every now and again you get remixes that sound as if they should have been released as the original version, this is a classic example, can’t say anything bad about this remix, I give it 10/10.
17) The Rah Band - Are You Satisfied
This outfit holds a special place in my heart, came across their tune “Messages From The Stars” one summer when I think I was 10 years old or so, I can’t even really go into what happened that summer but I will say that it’s a summer of me coming into my own and realising who I was as a person, I will never forget that summer.]]></description>

Tracklisting
1) Rotary Connection Feat. Minnie Riperton - Respect
Got put onto this song as a teenager while collecting music by Minnie Riperton after being blown away with her 5 octave vocal range and the love of her making this Otis Redding written classic her own on this version.
2) Roy Ayers - We Live In Brooklyn
Love this track, can’t remember when I first heard it but it’s always been a favourite of mine, Roy Ayers can do no wrong.
3) Ahmad Jamal - Misdemeanor
First came across this track as part of the riding of the rare groove era in the early 90’s when everyone was playing the Foster Sylvers version, my love of Hip Hop and the need to track samples lead me to this version by way of the Gangstarr track “Soliloquy of chaos”.
4) Vanessa Kendricks - 90% Of Me Is You
Another stone cold classic and favourite of mine, love the Gwen Mcrae version but again my love of Hip Hop lead me to find this version as it was this version that was used by Main Source on “Just Hanging Out”.
5) The Headhunters - If You’ve Got It You’ll Get It
Just like most people, I’m a big fan of Herbie Hancock and yet again another track I was lead to by way of Hip Hop song “They Call Me Puma” by Seborn & Puma. This original version by the headhunters is perfect in every way from the mellow beginning through to the psychedelic middle and finally the wind down end, the song goes full circle, love it.
6) We The People - Forgotten Man
Got put on to this song by my good friend and Life FM colleague John Watts, he’s big on rare grooves, soul and all things funky, so yeah big ups to him.
7) The Soul Searchers - Ashley’s Roachclip
One of the first breaks I ever heard apart from your standard ones like funky drummer etc, I think I heard this on one of those Ultimate Breaks & Beats compilations back in the day.
8) Gentle Giant - The Advent of Panurge
Love this simply because of the style changes within the song I just love the fact that artists could be creative like that as opposed to the robotic formula of pop songs today, and then out of nowhere you get blessed with the “Look at my friend” sample R.I.P Dilla.
9) Pleasure - Bouncy Lady
Heard on of my uncle’s playing this as a kid, had a few uncles that had dope record collections and one uncle in particular used to let us look through and play his records we’d be there hours playing stuff and looking at the covers.
10) Ohio Players - Pride & Vanity
I used to see this in the window of a record shop on the Harrow Road as a kid and always wondered what the album sounded like, found out years afterwards when I was able to listen to it when record shops used to let you listen to things, bought it and it now lives in my collection with their other albums.
11) Andrew Ashong - Flowers
This track I heard on a mixtape I was listening to in bed with headphones on, I had dozed off and this song woke me up, I looked through the track listing of the mixtape got the name and bought the record the following weekend.
12) Thundercat - Them Changes
What can I say about this dude right here? Absolute genius, nuff said.
13) Jill Scott - Whenever You’re Around
One of my all time favourite singers from just after the 90’s she’s gone from strength to strength and her live shows are off the chain, love all her tracks but this one here does it for me.
14) Amerie - Need You Tonight
Another one of my favourite singers, very underrated but I place her above certain other singers who currently get all the limelight, yep I said it.
15) Omar - The Man
This man’s the UK’s finest, and has made some timeless classics, this is homegrown soul done to perfection.
16) The Brand New Heavies - Sometimes (Ummah Mix)
Every now and again you get remixes that sound as if they should have been released as the original version, this is a classic example, can’t say anything bad about this remix, I give it 10/10.
17) The Rah Band - Are You Satisfied
This outfit holds a special place in my heart, came across their tune “Messages From The Stars” one summer when I think I was 10 years old or so, I can’t even really go into what happened that summer but I will say that it’s a summer of me coming into my own and realising who I was as a person, I will never forget that summer.]]></itunes:summary>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Missing
Title: DD0537
Style: Jungle, Techno, Ambient, Drum and Bass
Time:  119 Minutes
Date: 2018-12-09
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we we invite producer Missing to the Dusk Dubs family.
"Choosing from my record collection and all the different styles of music I love was not easy. Truth is I could have filled it all with just jazz funk or old hip hop or classic house or, of course, jungle/dnb.
I have decided though to focus mainly on the various flavours of U.K. bass music that have had the biggest impact on my life. When I stood back it was clear that this is what has shaped me the most- as an artist and as an individual. Maybe it’s my formative years growing up in the melting pot of inner city London and the sounds I was exposed to.
Music wasn’t just an escape from a sometimes bleak assessment of our future but it was an amazing form of self-expression. The magpie culture of taking stuff and making it our own. Jungle was perhaps the ultimate example but there were many routes to and from it. This one of any number of infinite paths I could have chosen; I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you to the Dusk Dubs crew for the opportunity to share this selection".

Tracklisting
1) Photek - Modus Operandi
Always said this would be on my desert island selection. Rupert Parkes at his best and a example of how great musicians can create beautiful music in many genres. It was amazing to see him play the full album end to end live a few years ago; a rare pleasure. He opened with this track.
2) Fallout - The Morning After
I heard this on Sunrise and Centreforce in 1987/88, two pirate stations that I used to listen to in early days of secondary school. That bassline just stood out and sucked me into underground music. Timeless.
3) Language - Renegade
Early UK breakbeat and one of first tracks I heard to include ragga samples and a dub influenced bass line. So much space in the groove. Don’t know if Language made any other tracks or who they were. Still play this regularly.
4) Depth Charge - Han Do Jin
Saul Kane (Depth Charge) is an often overlooked visionary in the UK bass scene. Consider this was made in 1989 and how tight the production is. Almost like early dubstep. With kung fu samples from a time when we watched those on pirate copies on Betamax tapes.
5) The Ragga Twins - Hooligan 69
There are some tracks you remember hearing for the first time. My mate brought this round to a teenage party, we must have played it 20 times. The idea of ragga and breakbeat hardcore being in one track but with UK MCs not samples felt revolutionary. Still legends in the game.
6) Simpleton - Coco Cola Shape
Many friends growing up had Jamaican parents who had amazing reggae collections but their kids listened to ragga - it was as much a soundtrack to my youth as house and hip-hop. It’s why jungle made so much sense to be as ragga tracks we listened to became inspirations for productions and part of the melting pot of sounds. Here is one of two tracks from that era in my selection.
7) Tenor Fly - Town a Run Hot
Rebel MC on the buttons for this production and the mighty Tenor Fly. UK twist on ragga of the time and in an era when you could still hear this played alongside hardcore, house or rap records in the same party in my ends.
8) Foul Play - Ragatere
Foul Play made many great tracks but this is a persy for me. I remember vividly Remarc scracth mixing the accapella of “Mi Love Me Sense” over this on his midweek Rush FM show on Thursday nights. Proper early jungle.
9) Missing featuring State Logik - The Day After Tomorrow
Early 94 I made this track, shortly before I signed my first tracks to 3rd Party/Kemet. State Logik (Phaze III and Klass A from Kool FM) who became really Liquid Funk pioneers were local mates of mine and while we all loved the jungle sound we were as likely to listen to the deeper sounds of the era and we collaborated on this track.
10) DJ Dub - Losing Track of Time (LTJ Bukem Remix)
My crew knew this track as "Bukem No Limits" as the white label it came out on had a red triangle with No Limits written next to it. The track was semi mythical as nobody I knew could get it on vinyl and it existed on shared C90 tapes and snatches of pirate radio. Bukem rolling simplicity and the epic spine tingling samples. I found on vinyl a few years ago.
11) DJ Trace - Teach Me to Fly
Trace to me is an unsung hero of the scene. His influence is huge and tracks cast a long shadow. I believe he made this when he was only 16. A serous track and the piano break (played by LTJ Bukem) is a thing of beauty.
12) T.Power & MK Ultra - Mutant Jazz
A link to Trace here as his remix of this was a seminal track but it’s the original on my list. How often these days do tracks develop over 6 minutes? An amazing trumpet hook, pads that make the hairs on your neck stand up and dirty jungle breaks. A work of art.
13) Internal Affairs - Hands to Heaven
Reinforced Records doing what they do best, creative freedom for innovators and what a result. Goldie, 4 Hero and Manix collaborating on an insanely good EP. Any of the 4 could have made the cut but Hands to Heaven it is. I posted the sleeve notes for this on my instagram recently; wise words to read and music to cherish.
14) Aquarius - Drift to the Centre
One of three Photek tracks in my selection and one of three of his many aliases. I remember hearing this for the first time on the Fabio DnB show on Kiss FM, early 94. From the crackling rhodes to the haunting vocal and that breakdown of mad sounds that could come from a Kung Fu movie interlude.. an absolute work of art. I heard this at Bukem and Fabio in Kentish Town last year. Still sounds as fresh today as that first play.
15) Elisabeth Troy ‎– 4 Vini (Forever Young) (MJ Cole Remix)
A heartfelt song from a tribute album to Vini from pioneering jungle label SOUR who tragically died far too young. MJ Cole does what he does best on the remix and creates an absolute classic.
16) C83 featuring Tamra - Twisted Logic
I stopped making Jungle/Dnb from around 2000 to 2016. For some of 2000s I was making Breaks. It was an amazing scene for a relatively short lived period and reminded me of the early days of jungle in many ways. It was also an opportunity to work at a different tempo (130-140) and different grooves. C83 was me and my cousin Jon Guntrip. This is a track we both feel really proud of.
17) Rufige Cru - Beachdrifta
While I stopped making DnB for many years I never stopped listening to it and still went out raving regularly. Fond memories of hearing this out. This track from the godfather Goldie is, to me, one of his finest works. The piano, the strings and the collision of darkness and light in perfect symphony.
18) Inta Warriors - Inta (Special Forces Remix)
The third Photek track on this selection on the mighty Prototype records. MC Flux on the lyrics and a stripped back junglistic steppa that still sounds so fresh today. I heard it for the first time at Sunday Sessions of the new venue of The Blue Note when it moved to Islington. I thought it wasn't possible to capture the spirit of the original Blue Note in the new venue but that night I heard music that made me realise that it didn't matter - dnb would keep progressing.
19) Marcus Intalex & ST Files - How you Make me Feel
Some artists just make simple, timeless music and just own their sound. Marcus Intalex was one of these people and this track one of many of his I frequently go back to. Squarely for the dancefloor and the soul.
20) Nas, Kanye West & The Dream - Everything (Missing & Axiomatic Remx)
I have been making jungle/dnb again since 2016 and am humbled by support I have had for my new productions so many years absent. This track of mine and collaborator Axiomatic we made this summer - a cheeky bootleg that has had a great reception with Radio 1 play by including Friction's Essential Mix. It will probably never come out but will hopefully stay as a happy memory for many ravers.]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week Dusk Dubs readies the sound system for another classic edition in "Dub Wars".
Now if you not familiar with 'Dub Wars'.... we invite two selectors to bring their records boxes to the ring, and go toe to toe, trading musical punches in a Dusk Dubs sound clash....
For this edition, we have invited 2 brothers..... 2 MC͛s that have been instrumental in shaping not only Mcing, but as Allmusic have stated ...."crucial cogs in the development of U.K. dance music".
The Ragga Twins aka Flinty Badman and Deman Rockers, originated as part of London's Unity Sound System, operating under the name in 1989. Through to 1992, they issued a pile of 12" singles, on the self-named label run by Shut Up & Dance (who also did the production work); Hooligan 69, Mixed Truth and Wipe the Needle along with the album Reggae Owes Me Money (1991); these releases, containing tracks like "Illegal Gunshot," "Spliffhead," and an early featured role on Shut Up & Dance's "Lamborghini," were bold steps forward, fiercely energetic mutations of dancehall, hip-hop, and jungle. They resurfaced in 1995 on EMI, and continued to release tracks intermittently into the 2000s.
The Ragga Twins' longest musical relationship is with another Dusk Dubs guest selector Aquasky, a partnership that was first cemented in 2001 when the tracks "All in Check ft. CoGee" and "Loko" were written for Botchit & Scarper. Four months later the tracks "Coffee" and "Dem No No We" were recorded for drum and bass label Moving Shadow, and in 2002, the drum and bass track "Dirty Entertainers" was recorded with Aquasky on their now defunct Sonix label.
In 2008, Soul Jazz Records issued a compilation album of their early 1990s recordings (notably their collaborations with production team/label Shut Up and Dance) entitled Ragga Twins Step Out͛.
To this day, they continue to be one of the most respected in-demand MC partnerships for underground events and it͛s a real honour to have these sound-system legends trade musical blows as they go head to head in a Dub Wars clash....
Get your scorecards primed, as the selectors are ready....
"These tunes chosen by The Ragga Twins for Dub Wars are special to us as they take us through 2 decades of reggae music before we became artists ourselves, to tracks that we was first to play on the sound system and chat on the versions , Tunes are from some of our favourite artists .
Enjoy" [[ Flinty Badman & Deman Rockers ]]

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This Sunday we invite a Manchester based musical don, Luke Unabomber, to compile an amazing volume for Dusk Dubs from his exhaustive record collection......
Luke has dug deep and provided a musical journey of epic proportions in true "Mancuso Style". 60 tracks based on memories of the mind and the soul, all with that authentic crackle and pop that only vinyl can give....
"A Room With No Corners Mix"
"It's 4 am and I never want you to leave, music Pour La Danse afters. Where we gather, in my flat, lost souls and the late night disenfranchised slowly holding on to the goodness. Lights down low and feeling warmth from odd numbers, basement soul and spiritual free form rhythms in a room with no corners and hope. I’ve gone deep into my archives to choose hidden gems, dark horses, off piste b-sides, ones that got away. Some old and some I’ve only just heard. Another side" [[ LUKE UNABOMBER ]]

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we welcome producer and DJ Sicknote to the Dusk Dubs family, with a personal reflection of the music that has influenced him over the years.
Sicknote is the alias for Lewis Joyce’s solo work as a DJ, producer and recording artist - he is dedicated to the original art form and a vinyl and dubplate fanatic. Sicknote also has ongoing collaborations with Dissect, Sweetpea, Escher and Justice.
Watch out for Sicknote's new label "Stereocilia" and its inaugural release -  "Sicknote & Escher – Rough Coast/Trouble 10" (STEREOCILIA001).
Limited to only 50 copies, this is a MUST.
"These are some selections from my vinyl collection that like to listen to from my collection that bring back memories of good times. The tracks that make your hair stand on end, you know the ones.” [[ Sicknote ]]

Tracklisting
1) 2814 - Before The Rain (Taken from 'Rain Temple' - Dream_777)
Was put onto this album through Rico at work, first listen I was blown away and instantly went and bagged the vinyl. Before the rain is one of my favourite tracks from the album, this track proper takes you on a journey, flying through a blade runner type metropolis.
2) Sade - Sweetest Taboo (Taken from 'Promise' – EPIC86318
Love this track and album. So many good Sade tracks but this is one of my favourites.
The mix on this is amazing. All the panning on the guitar and the way at one point they make the vocals move round like she is almost whispering in your ear. So good!
3) Rufus & Chaka Kahn - Ain't Nobody (Warner Bros Records)
I have picked this track mostly because it reminds of being a at home with my parents and also party's we had with family. This was always a track that would get played and still love it to this day.
4) Dilinja – Accurist (Test Recoridngs -TEST002 Misspress)
On the mispress of hardnoise/fluid. Remember finding out about this through my friend Ben and instantly went and bagged a copy. Second drop on this one is big!
5) Emptyset - Origin (Taken from 'Emptyset' – Recur – R-N151-2)
This whole album is dark! Full frequency assault from start to finish.
6) Transllusion - Dimensional Glide (Taken From 'Opening of The Cerebral Gate' – TRESOR270)
Love this track was hard to pick one from this album to be honest. I remember pre-selling this one in at work when I started in sales and it getting played in the office and everyone being excited about the repress. And have been hooked on that Drexyia vibe since.
7) WK7 – Avalanche (Power House Records – PH202)
Shed under one of his aliases. Remember going to Hardwax and buying this and another 12" from the same label. Hard hitting house music this.
8) Foul play - Dubing You (Oblivion Records – OR002)
Foul play vol 2 what a 12". Only recently fully appreciated these records and this track is a favourite.
9) Martyn - Cutting Tone (Taken from 'Voids' – OSTGUTLP29)
This tune is proper sick. Is like drum and bass garage and techno all in one.
10) Appleblim And Peveralist – Circles (Skull Disco – SKULL:08)
I remember my mate Ben dropping this on me whilst having a mix and me pulling one of those faces, you know the ones! Proper moody dubstep almost verging on dub techno
11) Special request – Capsules (Taken from 'Soul Music' – HTH012)
Been a massive fan of the Special Request stuff, soul music was a sick album and this is a favourite from the album.
12) Pessimist – Spirals (Taken from 'Pessimist' – BLACKESTLP017)
Really into what Pessamist is doing at the moment and his album on blackest ever black is killer. This is a favourite from that album
13) Mini Riperton - Inside My Love (Taken from 'Adventures In Paradise' – SN-16146)
Beautiful track from some one that died way to young. Amazing voice
14) Dexter Wansel - Rings of Saturn (Taken from 'Life On Mars' – PZ 340279)
Personal favourite from the man like Dexter. Big fan of all his stuff and went on a mission to buy all his records when I first heard his music.
15) Jeff mills – Alarms (Taken from 'Kat Moda EP' – PM-002)
The wizard! Everyone picks the bells from this 12”, which is an amazing tune but alarms is also just as banging.
16) Channel one – Technicolour (Metroplex – M-003)
Classic from Juan Atkins, this one is a favourite from his Metroplex label.
17) Virginia – Funkert (Taken from 'Virginia' – Fierce For the Night – OSTGUTLP22)
Love this album. So, so good. Played this on repeat for a long time when it came out. This is the single from the album, which is killer. There is a instrumental mix on the 12 sampler as well.
18) Joy Orbison – Off Season (Hinge Finger - HINF8679)
Wicked tune this one bit of a DJ tool / club banger, I like the weird off beat edits on this one. 
19) Alexander O’neil – Criticize (Taken from 'Hearsay' – Tabu Records)
Another track that reminds me of my parents mostly my mum, I remember this being played along with others. Great album, amazing production. 80s at its best!]]></description>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite Record label co-owner Stuart Nicetraxuk to provide a journey through his musical history.
Stuart first started Djing in the late 80's early 90's firstly playing at clubs in Birmingham, then after going to the Humingbird club on a Friday (Snapper club), which was Birmingham's first full dance /acid house night, he started getting into the dance scene. He got a few early gig's in Birmingham before going off to Ibiza and Tenerife in 1990. Some time later, Stuart returned to the UK and carried on playing gigs and putting nights on in and around Birmingham, and going to rave's such as Amnesia, the Blackburn raves and the Hacienda, before moving to Aberdeen where he carried on playing and also worked in Airline records, In 97 Stuart moved to San Francisco and worked at Tweekin Records Djing all over California for the store. He returned in 2004 and retired from the scene, only to start back in 2012 with the brilliant NICETRAXUK Label
"Its not often you get the chance to play or record a set with music that has influenced or just made you sit up and take note. That also throws up the issue of how do I even decide what to play? So I didn’t.....this is totally off the cuff and with no real thought of programming except from random thoughts of my history in music and music that does have reference to me." [[ STUART ]]

Tracklisting
1) 808 State - Pacific 707
Hearing this and then seeing 808 State on top of the pops, I think was one of those ground breaking moments within the scene. It is a brilliant warehouse track and the sound was British - had Dance music arrived!!!!!!
2) My Bloody Valentine - Glider (Andrew Weatherall Remx)
Probably my favourite Andy Weatherall remix of all time. Just for the fact it was one of the first I had heard and to me was a total change in how to remix a track. Coming from an indie based band background, but now going to raves, it solidified my initiation into the dance scene bringing my favourite genres together. Just epic.
3) Radiohead - Planet Telex
It took me along time to become a Radiohead fan, but over the years the band and its music has really grown on me. That excites me, as it gives you faith that music is good and that something initially that you don’t acknowledge slowly gets into your head... and then it’s a light bulb moment.
4) Electribe 101 - Inside Out
It’s a Brummie thing, fantastic group and they were from my home town, what’s not to like.
5) Blow Monkeys - La Passionara
I was in Ibiza only once for a season back in 91, this was part of the compilation to that summer, fantastic Balearic sound and also crossover music again in its early roots.
6) Arthur Baker/New Order and Confusion - Walking On Sunshine
I’m a huge New Order and Joy Division fan, so was conscious of adding this to the selection, and then this popped up and it had to go on, just great early mash up mixing and they go together so well.
7) Metro Area - Proton Candy
When I was living in San Francisco and being part of Tweekin Records store, label and DJs, it was great to be really immersed in American underground music and the scene (pre EDM). When Metro Area came around, it just worked for me and many others, and this is one of my favourite tracks by them, but I could play them all.
8) UB40 - King
Growing up, UB40 was the sound of Birmingham and I think Reggae and its pop off shoots and more commercial or more acceptable UK sound was all a round us. But to be fair 'Present Arms' and 'Signing Off' were ground breaking albums and yet again that DIY spirit of doing it for yourself as the same as the dance scene yet again stands out.
9) UB40 - Sardonicas
Once I played one UB40 track I had to squeeze another one in, again the sound of my teenage years .
10) The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony – I just love this track.
11) Small Faces - Watcha Gonna Do About It
This is the Mrs’s influence. Being a MOD, she introduced me to this sort of music along with Northern Soul. Again its great to still be excited by music I may of not necessarily listened to all the time.
12) Happy Mondays – WFL (think about the future remix Paul Oakenfold) lost count how many times I went and watched the Mondays in the early 90’s I was more Mondays than Roses, but loved them both, so I had to play a Mondays track 
13) Smiths - How Soon It Is
For me, it's really all about Johnny Marr, I did like the Smiths, but I loved his Guitar playing, again a throw back to my indie days in the mid to late 80’s.
14) Hardkiss - Raincry
So 8 years in San Francisco and Hardkiss was one of the driving forces to going there, then becoming friends with them and still to this day having contact and also all the other people, it was a huge part of my dance music life in fact more then the previous years of around 6 years prior to moving there in 96. It is the sound of the west coast 90’s.]]></description>

This week we are once again humbled to welcome back our good friend DJ Trax to our DuskDubs Mixtape Series. 
After already providing us with 3 incredible mixtapes, he now steps up and blesses us with another superb volume in pure Trax style

Tracklisting
1) Yakhal Inkomo - Mankunku Quartet
What a track and what an album. This is exactly the type of jazz I love. Really warm and melodic. This album has been really sort after for years selling for upwards of a grand. Last year the album finally got a release outside of South Africa.
2) John Coltrane - Tunji
Taken from the self titled album on Impulse records in that amazing early 60`s period. I first heard this in a record shop in Norwich. The chords pulled me in straight away. Real deep jazz!
3) Dexter Gordon - A Night In Tunisia
I found the album 'Our Man In Paris' at a Bootsale for 50p - There are a couple of great tracks on the LP but I love the lyrical playing in this one.
4) Charles Mingus - II.B.S
I love this version! Taken from the 'Mingus Mingus Mingus' album. Again it`s from Impulse in the early 60`s period. I sampled the main bassline a few years back and then heard someone else had too so I scrapped it. I love how dynamic this track is. Cinematic, atmospheric and driving.
5) Head + Neck Sessions feat Becki Biggins - Far (Dancing Turtle)
10 years ago I was approached to remix a track by Amycanbe on Dancing Turtle Records. I then discovered Head and Neck sessions who were also signed to the label and in turn the amazing Becki Biggins. Becki is a Grammy nominated singer and saxophonist. We have worked together on various projects including 'All is Silent' with Naibu on Subtle Audio.
We will be working on fresh material in the new year. This track is where I first heard Becki`s amazing voice and I absolutely love it! Check her out here beckibiggins.com
6) Fug - Ready For Us
I featured this on a compilation on Hed Kandi called Winter Chill 2. I discovered this on Served Chilled 3 that HK released the following year.
It`s a beautiful track with all the right elements. I especially like the second half when the drummer takes things up a notch.
7) Toshio Matsuura Group - At Les
Hopefully most people reading this will know the Carl Craig`s classic `At Les`.
The very talented Toshino Matsuura is part of the legendary UFO. This version is taken from an EP I brought earlier in the year. It also features some excellent cover versions of some modern classics.
8) Nate Smith - Skip Step
Nate Smith is an incredibly talented drummer. I love his work with Jose James. This track is taken from his album Postcards from everywhere.
9) Cymande - Crawshay
'Ronnie Scotts' is one of my favourite places in the world. I have seen some amazing musicians there over the years. I have always loved Cymande but I went to see them at Ronnie`s earlier this year and it was undoubtedly the best gig I have ever seen.
They were truly amazing. I woke up the next day and brought fresh copies of four of their albums. They have such a unique sound. It`s a really fusion of styles that came out of the UK.
10) Mercury Rev - Holes
Bit of a tangent here! I was signed to part of 3MV in the late 90`s. They were a huge distribution company. The guy who ran the label gave me a lot of interesting records (Thank you Roger).
I love this record. It has such a bitter sweet atmosphere. The strings are beautiful and there are not many records with a bowed saw solo. The video is also really worth checking out.
11) Marti Caine - Love The Way You Love Me
A wicked groove from a very unlikely source. Marti Caine was a comedian and singer who was on TV a lot when I was growing up. I had no idea she made a track like this until a couple of years ago.
12) Ed Wizard + Disco Double Dee - Straight Up
I love the O.V Wright original. They done a great job with this re-edit. I discovered this version through the 'Nightmares on Wax Boiler Room set'. Which is well worth checking out. It`s an amazing set to a very muted audience!]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we have the pleasure of inviting Exalt Records label owner Jamie Exalt, who takes us on a personal journey through music that has influenced him over the years.
Jamie Exalt has been on the scene or there abouts for 30 years. Progressing from the Under 18s events in the local hall to raves and parties around the London / Essex borders. Like many of his age, Steve Bicknell’s Lost parties will always be his most treasured rave memory.
He DJed (often quite badly) during the 90s and early 2000’s and was resident DJ for multi-media art collective OMSK, coordinating music for over 30 events in London, Cambridge, Brighton and Oslo.
Jamie started Exalt Records is 2003 with longtime friend Mark, with the simple aim of releasing good music from friends and associates of Mark’s record shop Hedonizm Records in Brighton. After a 10 year break Exalt Records has returned and is now run by Jamie in East London. There have been six releases in 2018 and much more to come in 2019. Jamie is also head tea boy and general dogs body at Exalt T-shirts.

Tracklisting
1) Marvin Gaye – Sexual Healing (1982)
When I heard this track I knew I was falling in love with music, cheesy but true…His voice and the simple beat in perfect harmony. If pushed to select my favourite record of all time, this would be it – fact!
2) Gwen McCrae - All This Love That I’m Giving (1979)
Re-released in 1988 this record was part of my transition from Hip-Hop to street soul and ultimately dance music. Soul II Soul and Alyson Williams also get a name check here.
3) Eric B & Rakim – My Melody (1986)
My brother Simon has a lot to answer for!! He let me hang out with his DJ friends, took me to record shops and my first Hip Hop concerts / parties. The album featuring this track soundtracked bath time before school for us both on countless occasions and for me Rakim is hands down the best rapper ever.
4) Uptown - Dope on Plastic (1989)
When I started going out to parties organised by friends, there was still a lot of Hip Hop being played. This track has the hard hitting beats needed to rock a dance floor and still sounds great to this day.
5) Reese – Rock to The Beat Mayday Mix (1989)
Although I’d heard some of Kevin’s production under his Innercity guise, this was definitely the sound of the future for me. First heard in 1991 on the Network Retro Techno compilation, leant to me by the boyfriend of a girl I worked with in South Woodford branch of Bejam.
6) Carl Craig / 69 – Desire (1994)
The most perfect electronic music track.
7) Aphex Twin – Ageispolis (1992)
Impossible to put a favourites track listing together without a track from Richard. Difficult to pick just one and could easily do a track listing just from him. The soundtrack to psychedelic experiments both near and far…
8) Balil – Parasight (1993)
Love all the early Black Dog stuff and this is hands down one of the best acid trance dance records to ever be released. I’ve only ever heard this record once in a club (The End) and with maximum strobes on, the energy on the dancefloor nearly tore the roof off.
9) Dillinja – The Angels Fell (1995)
Growing up in London I was of course exposed to Hardcore, Drum & Bass and Jungle and went to some great parties where those sounds were played. Dillinja’s drum programme has always set him apart from other producers and along with Photek is my favourite D&B producer.
10) Doc Scott – Tokyo Dawn (1996)
Went through a spell of buying quite a bit of D&B and this record is really something rather special. When the drums drop after the intro, it’s just pure gold. Reminds me of a NYE party I was DJing at (badly) in the late 90’s at a friend’s parents flat in the Docklands. I played this just as the sun was peeking through the curtains and at that point we all realised the cream carpet was absolutely ruined!
11) Alice Smith – Love Endeavour Maurice Fulton remix (2006)
It’s not often a remix stands head and shoulders above the original track. This for me is the best remix made in the last 15 years.
12) Moodymann – The Third Track (1996)
The pure raw genius of Kenny Dixon Jnr. comes through in this great track. Detroit strong.
13) Rhythm & Sound w/ Tikiman – Never Tell You (1996)
It’s Basic Channel innit. Was DJing (not so badly) in a pub in Brighton and a fella approached me and said that’s a Grace Jones bassline. At the time I didn’t know which track he was talking about but realised after sometime, that yes the bassline is very similar to…
14) Grace Jones – Private Life (1980)
Stone cold classic. See above…
15) Vangelis – Love Theme from Blade Runner (1982)
Soundtracks have always been a big part of my musical life. I used to play this pitched down in between acts at the OMSK shows, it sounds absolutely incredible through a loud system.
16) Ennio Morricone – Once Upon a Time in the West (1970)
My wife took me to see Ennio perform at the O2 arena a couple of years back for my birthday. I was absolutely blown away and the concert was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Another track I used to play at the OMSK events.
17) Acker Bilk – Stranger on the Shore (1961)
I first heard this as the intro to a documentary about the life of Buddy Holly when I was young. The opening scenes were from the cemetery where Buddy is buried and it was the first time I realised that music could perfectly soundtrack a moment and a feeling on screen.]]></description>

4) Uptown - Dope on Plastic (1989)
When I started going out to parties organised by friends, there was still a lot of Hip Hop being played. This track has the hard hitting beats needed to rock a dance floor and still sounds great to this day.
5) Reese – Rock to The Beat Mayday Mix (1989)
Although I’d heard some of Kevin’s production under his Innercity guise, this was definitely the sound of the future for me. First heard in 1991 on the Network Retro Techno compilation, leant to me by the boyfriend of a girl I worked with in South Woodford branch of Bejam.
6) Carl Craig / 69 – Desire (1994)
The most perfect electronic music track.
7) Aphex Twin – Ageispolis (1992)
Impossible to put a favourites track listing together without a track from Richard. Difficult to pick just one and could easily do a track listing just from him. The soundtrack to psychedelic experiments both near and far…
8) Balil – Parasight (1993)
Love all the early Black Dog stuff and this is hands down one of the best acid trance dance records to ever be released. I’ve only ever heard this record once in a club (The End) and with maximum strobes on, the energy on the dancefloor nearly tore the roof off.
9) Dillinja – The Angels Fell (1995)
Growing up in London I was of course exposed to Hardcore, Drum & Bass and Jungle and went to some great parties where those sounds were played. Dillinja’s drum programme has always set him apart from other producers and along with Photek is my favourite D&B producer.
10) Doc Scott – Tokyo Dawn (1996)
Went through a spell of buying quite a bit of D&B and this record is really something rather special. When the drums drop after the intro, it’s just pure gold. Reminds me of a NYE party I was DJing at (badly) in the late 90’s at a friend’s parents flat in the Docklands. I played this just as the sun was peeking through the curtains and at that point we all realised the cream carpet was absolutely ruined!
11) Alice Smith – Love Endeavour Maurice Fulton remix (2006)
It’s not often a remix stands head and shoulders above the original track. This for me is the best remix made in the last 15 years.
12) Moodymann – The Third Track (1996)
The pure raw genius of Kenny Dixon Jnr. comes through in this great track. Detroit strong.
13) Rhythm & Sound w/ Tikiman – Never Tell You (1996)
It’s Basic Channel innit. Was DJing (not so badly) in a pub in Brighton and a fella approached me and said that’s a Grace Jones bassline. At the time I didn’t know which track he was talking about but realised after sometime, that yes the bassline is very similar to…
14) Grace Jones – Private Life (1980)
Stone cold classic. See above…
15) Vangelis – Love Theme from Blade Runner (1982)
Soundtracks have always been a big part of my musical life. I used to play this pitched down in between acts at the OMSK shows, it sounds absolutely incredible through a loud system.
16) Ennio Morricone – Once Upon a Time in the West (1970)
My wife took me to see Ennio perform at the O2 arena a couple of years back for my birthday. I was absolutely blown away and the concert was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Another track I used to play at the OMSK events.
17) Acker Bilk – Stranger on the Shore (1961)
I first heard this as the intro to a documentary about the life of Buddy Holly when I was young. The opening scenes were from the cemetery where Buddy is buried and it was the first time I realised that music could perfectly soundtrack a moment and a feeling on screen.]]></itunes:summary>

This week, we welcome Doug Millar to select for our Dusk Dubs Sunday Mixtape Series.
"I feel very humble to be asked to contribute to the list of Dusk Dubs compilations. I love  the concept behind Dusk Dubs and all it stands for.
It is something greater than music ( if that is possible). It resonates love, people’s journeys in life and how people still have a values to make this world a better place. My list of songs is designed to give thanks to the people I love."​ [[DOUG]]

Stevie Wonder – Love Having You Around – Christmas 1975. My older brother Craig bought me Music of My Mind. H e was playing it in the lead up to Christmas on his Headphones and saying how good is this record. This is the opening song announcing a new phase in Stevie’s musical career. He was at the peak of his powers in the 1970’s. Peerless
Kamasi Washington – This man is an innovator. This song has so much warmth and humanity. I pay this as a tribute to all people who have shown integrity in times of great difficulty and hardship. I am thinking of Stephen Proctor. I am thinking of Tommy and Jon and all the people who live their life with a moral code. Do not accept mediocrity and bullshit.
J Dilla – Workinonit -Tommy talked about his love for J Dilla. I love early 10CC. A Win Win Situation Ensues.
LCD Soundsystem – Something Great. My son Lee has introduced to Techno Music. This is a good thing. Keep an open mind, This song is not strictly techno, but it reminds me of Lee and Wilson Logan doing their stuff. Quite inspirational for a 58 year old geezer.
Gino Vannelli – Love & Emotion – There was a record shop in Dundee called RG Forbes in the late 1970’s. Big Rob Adam was a great inspiration. He introduced me and my brothers to some amazing music. Steely Dan, The Crusaders, Johnny Guitar Watson, Patrice Rushen, Weather Report, Rufus, Ronnie Foster, etc. This is a song from the Brother to Brother LP and a tribute to Tom and Craig. My Brothers.
Matthew E White. Rock N Roll is Cold – I love this. It has an early Roxy feel, It has soul and humour. It makes me do some bad dad dancing on the top of a garden table. Even Bez would be thinking “ What the F---”
Quantic & Alice Russell – Travelling Song. A criminally underrated LP. Checked this out on the basis of a review in Mojo. Goldfrapp are similarly undervalued.
The Cinematic Orchestra – Evolution – I heard this on my car radio one night on a BBC Scotland Jazz Programme. From the first notes...... you just know...... Stop the car....... Listen....... Take a note of who it is...... been a fan ever since.
Radiohead – Desert Island Disk – So I voted Yes for Scotland to become an Independent Nation in 2014. This was not an easy decision. Not least because I love England. I posed a question at a debate in a pub about how we would manage our relationship with our neighbours , if Scotland was to become independent. I don’t love everything about England.... but what about the culture. I have come to the conclusion that I don’t like Little Scotlanders or Little Englanders. We are all citizens of the world. This song comes up with the refrain of hope “ a different kind of love is possible”..... and is pertinent in this time of Brexit, austerity, Chump and Rasputin.
Gary Clark – Nancy – Probably my favourite lyric to a song. I have worked with care experienced young people for a long time. I am currently working in a Primary School in Dundee. Some children and young people just need love.
Floating Points – Silhouttes – I think Miles Davis would have like dto worked with these guys if he was still alive,
Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson – This is a prayer for everybody in the world. I read a review of this record by Vivien Goldman in the NME in 1978. She said , “This is a beautiful record”. She was right. I think Tony Bennett should cover this. I was at Glastonbury in 1995 and hoped to see Gil on the Sunday evening. He did not show... Spearhead extended their set. They were good...... but Gil..... man.
Bjork – Cosmogony – Bjork is a marmite artist. This is genius. I saw this on Later. It conjurs images of the beginning of the world.
Portishead – Strangers – I attended T in the Park in 1998 on a Sunday. It pissed down all day. Trench foot was a possibility. Portishead were headlining in a big tent. I took refuge in the tent. My spirits were revived by watching this great band. They rocked. Beth Gibbons was sexy and owned the stage. I was on a high after the Gig. It was the day of the world cup final , Brazil v France. I was trying to avoid the score. I got back to Dundee, still on a high. The heavens opened . I refused to get in a taxi and walked home still thinking about that Gig.
Pat Metheny – Above the Treetops – I met my friend Peter Allan. We found out we had a similar taste in music. He is a massive Pat fan. He wrote a song for my wedding. A really nice song.
Bill Withers – Sweet Wanomi – I was on my first holiday with Karen in Bordrum in Turkey. We found this bar with a beautiful sea view and stunning coastline. A Bill Withers compilation was playing. Bill has a simple and profound way of expressing his music. This song reminds me of a special time with my beautiful wife.
The Beatles – Strawberry Fields Forever – I was aged 13. It was a Sunday. Ii heard my brother playing this weird song. I loved it. Who is that? Its the Beatles. Your kidding. My knowledge of the Beatles was very limited . I wanna hold your hand and yellow submarine. We had bowls with we used for breakfast, soup and pudding with pictures of the Beatles from 1963.. One by one we broke the bowls. Used to fight with my brothers over who got the Beatles bowl. This song opened up my world.
Tom Waits – I beg your pardon dear. This is from the Soundtrack to “ One from the Heart” a Francis Ford Coppola musical. Some moments of greatness in this film. My mum and dad loved this song. I owe a debt of gratitude to them for ontroducing me to some great music. My dad always liked singers who had the “ smoke2.
Tom Misch ( featuring Loyle Carner) – Water Baby – Always look to discover new music. This is released from this year. Could someone tell me what song is sampled on this song. Minnie Riperton?
Georgie Fame – Peaceful – This song is me..... or I like to think it is.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week, we welcome back our good friend, avid record collector and  'Selector Extraordinaire' Andrea Nibbers, with another of his wonderful musical stories.
"This is another of my stories, talked through the medium of recorded music. There’s a quote in the Charlie Chaplin’s film dedicated to the life of (possibly) the greatest comedian of all time (edit: the one with the incredible Robert Downey junior) where he says something on the lines of: “If you want to know me, watch my films”… well, I steal and re-arrange that quote by saying:” If you want to know who I am, listen to the music I love”. Not that I would compare myself to Charlie Chaplin of course but you get the idea…
As ever, my ideas of dubby tunes that you might want to listen at dusk can differ from the majority of those who have and will put together their own selections for this incredible project (props to all the ones involved for making it happen consistently since 5 years and counting) but that’s the beauty of music ultimately. We express ourselves through it, the tracks we love always represent an intimate part of who we are, part of our memories, part of our baggage. Music is deeply personal for me and I take any selection, dj gig, studio mix very very seriously. Misrepresenting my output and/or talking to the wrong crowd would feel like walking in a room with no clothes on full of strangers staring. Vaguely awkward. Time to listen now, never mind the rest.
Thanks to the Dusk Dubs family for asking me again to provide and present to all of you another slice of some of my favourite records, alongside the ramblings of a man past his sell date. Only my wife has managed to survive that in 16 years living elbow to elbow with me.
Until the next time, I salute you. ​Enjoy x"

Tracklisting
1) David Crosby – Orleans
This is the best Intro to this selection I could think of, a tone setter for what’s to come. Sampled (or vulgarly said “lifted”) entirely by Psychemagik (as most of you will no doubt already be aware of), one of those golden nuggets that comes out of nowhere. From the majestic album of David Crosby “If I Could Only Remember My Name”(Thank you Rob… you know why)
2) Cigarettes After Sex – K
Melancholic indie tinged of opium traces and long nights spent with the firm proposition of changing your entire life as soon as dawn creeps in. This tune captures one of those comedowns when your return to Planet Earth makes you long for comfort foods and your favourite sofa to dribble on. Absolutely and painfully beautiful.
3) Bombay Hotel – Between Leaves
Discovered courtesy of that mega compilation put together by one of my favourite selectors ever: the mighty Moonboots of Aficionado fame. Released in 2017, if you haven’t got this downtempo goldmine, you are either mad or deaf or both. Or simply you don’t belong to the universe I resonate with . Fair enough, each to their own. A dubby laid back Balearic gem to listen to by the sea at dusk (funnily enough).
4) Soul Media – Breeze
A little sleazy jazz number from the 1970s that got re-pressed for Record Store Day this year. Not that I ever bother to go and queue for hours (or even camp by the shop since the night before, like some seem to do) for the exclusivity of a flogged dead horse painted in gold but I really wanted this record and I have of course missed out on it when it got released on juno (probably for a total of 5 copies). As always, I ended up paying through my nose for this beauty. The original LP or the repress from 2015 goes for stupid money on discogs so I counted my blessings when I copped this 7” for a reasonable (not really) amount of cash .. alright nothing to see here… . I am sucker for this laid back jazz fusion tracks, what can you do? It must be my age…
5) Idjut Boys & Laj – Slateo
Pitched down drums, dubby echoes, hypnotic groove. One of those records that you would like to hear over and over and never stop. Well it’s around 8 minutes mark so make sure you do enjoy those fully while getting lost in the ride. I love the Idjut Boys ,I really do.
6) Vania Bastos – Tabu
Yes, you guessed a cover of the iconic soulful queen of the 1980s: Sade. Sade is in my opinion amazing even though you will find a lot of people disagreeing … this record is also great and comes courtesy of the recent compilation of obscure synthesized brazillian hits kindly pressed by Soundway. Not every cover I like, this one I do and makes me smile. So there you go.
7) Sam Dees – Signed Miss Heroin
I have discovered this beauty thanks to my good friend, vinyl junkie and all round music lover: Philip Wells (Phil Basement for those who know his dj/artistic moniker).
You need to listen to the lyrics… there’s not a lot I can tell you: just listen to the whole tune. It’s an incredibly poignant piece of soul. Incredible record. 10/10
8) Atelje – Zephyr
We enter the cosmic and progressively psychedelic phase of my selection. A mini journey represented by each tune I have chosen. This is the intro and what an intro. You get lost in a maze of layers of sounds. My idea of dub (broadly intended) as a feel more than a genre. One of those tunes that you need to take in without being distracted by anyone, unless you are prepared to kill the invasive presence (being a human, animal or inanimate object of choice) distracting your meditative listen. Or something on those lines. Me being bit obsessive? Never…
9) No-Man – Heaven Taste
If no one has managed to ruin your cathartic experience set by the tune above, you can get even more beautifully lost with this one…oh boy.. on this 12” there’s a tasty remix of Jimi Tenor on the flip too for added joy, I do however prefer the original take… Synths galore. The soundtrack to the heavenly road to Utopia.
10) Sir Richard Bishop – Mirage
Melancholic guitar in a neo classical fashion? I’ll have that, thank you very much. Close your eyes and be transported somewhere in North Africa, at the end of a baking hot day, while staring at the sunset, trying to convince yourself that living in a city like London is the most sensible choice. Get the idea? No? Me neither. Get drinking and forget about our human slightly miserable condition, while dancing on the waves of the masterful arpeggios of Sir Richard Bishop (is he really a Sir? He should be if the music of this album is anything to go by)
11) The Main Stem – Since I left You
I have discovered this Norwegain (of all places) piece of tinged fusion, trippy beauty courtesy of the impeccable taste of my good Brummie mate Robert Johnston. The guy has a monumental encyclopedic knowledge about great soulful music, only second to his love for red wine. Rob, I dearly love you. One of a kind, you are. Back to this beauty, it completes the mini psychedelic journey into your head and heart, passing through your soul. Too good. Forget about the Prins Thomas Miks on the flip, here the original steals completely the show.. so good. Listen ad come back to me to tell me differently, I dare you.
12) Blank & Jones – Good (Leo Mas & Fabrice Remix)
What a remix this is .. .simple (simplicity is rarity in music and achieved by very few) and so effective. A mid tempo gem masterfully put together by the experienced duo (part of the original holy triad: Leo Mas, Fabrice , Gemolotto) . The experienced ears of two djs who have seen it all and more and still know how to simply touch your heart and soul. That piano line is something to swoon at. The warm hug of a friend lost but safely found years later by complete coincidence. Moving record.
13) Electronic System III – Skylab
Now this is a very sought after slice of downtempo, psychedelic fusion (for use of a better description). A monster record from the 1970s that, thank the Lord, got repressed with a generous one side 12” on its own on the Funky Chimes Part One compilation (the original LP will set you back 300 pounds at least – that if you ever see it on sale anywhere). A selection of Belgian Grooves from the 70s ( I quote from the cover here). There are no words to describe the immensity of the record. Better than sex, when sex is great and possibly more (unless you don’t like music, in which case probably you may find this description a tad overstated..). An epic journey into the melancholic territory of jazz, soul, easy listening (in the best sense of the word here) while experiencing the best natural high you could possibly imagine. I know I get carried away a bit with words but let me state this again: I absolutely adore this record. And so should you, if you have any soul left.]]></description>

Style: Dub, Soul, House, Funk, Jazz
Time: 94 Minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week, we welcome back our good friend, avid record collector and  'Selector Extraordinaire' Andrea Nibbers, with another of his wonderful musical stories.
"This is another of my stories, talked through the medium of recorded music. There’s a quote in the Charlie Chaplin’s film dedicated to the life of (possibly) the greatest comedian of all time (edit: the one with the incredible Robert Downey junior) where he says something on the lines of: “If you want to know me, watch my films”… well, I steal and re-arrange that quote by saying:” If you want to know who I am, listen to the music I love”. Not that I would compare myself to Charlie Chaplin of course but you get the idea…
As ever, my ideas of dubby tunes that you might want to listen at dusk can differ from the majority of those who have and will put together their own selections for this incredible project (props to all the ones involved for making it happen consistently since 5 years and counting) but that’s the beauty of music ultimately. We express ourselves through it, the tracks we love always represent an intimate part of who we are, part of our memories, part of our baggage. Music is deeply personal for me and I take any selection, dj gig, studio mix very very seriously. Misrepresenting my output and/or talking to the wrong crowd would feel like walking in a room with no clothes on full of strangers staring. Vaguely awkward. Time to listen now, never mind the rest.
Thanks to the Dusk Dubs family for asking me again to provide and present to all of you another slice of some of my favourite records, alongside the ramblings of a man past his sell date. Only my wife has managed to survive that in 16 years living elbow to elbow with me.
Until the next time, I salute you. ​Enjoy x"

Tracklisting
1) David Crosby – Orleans
This is the best Intro to this selection I could think of, a tone setter for what’s to come. Sampled (or vulgarly said “lifted”) entirely by Psychemagik (as most of you will no doubt already be aware of), one of those golden nuggets that comes out of nowhere. From the majestic album of David Crosby “If I Could Only Remember My Name”(Thank you Rob… you know why)
2) Cigarettes After Sex – K
Melancholic indie tinged of opium traces and long nights spent with the firm proposition of changing your entire life as soon as dawn creeps in. This tune captures one of those comedowns when your return to Planet Earth makes you long for comfort foods and your favourite sofa to dribble on. Absolutely and painfully beautiful.
3) Bombay Hotel – Between Leaves
Discovered courtesy of that mega compilation put together by one of my favourite selectors ever: the mighty Moonboots of Aficionado fame. Released in 2017, if you haven’t got this downtempo goldmine, you are either mad or deaf or both. Or simply you don’t belong to the universe I resonate with . Fair enough, each to their own. A dubby laid back Balearic gem to listen to by the sea at dusk (funnily enough).
4) Soul Media – Breeze
A little sleazy jazz number from the 1970s that got re-pressed for Record Store Day this year. Not that I ever bother to go and queue for hours (or even camp by the shop since the night before, like some seem to do) for the exclusivity of a flogged dead horse painted in gold but I really wanted this record and I have of course missed out on it when it got released on juno (probably for a total of 5 copies). As always, I ended up paying through my nose for this beauty. The original LP or the repress from 2015 goes for stupid money on discogs so I counted my blessings when I copped this 7” for a reasonable (not really) amount of cash .. alright nothing to see here… . I am sucker for this laid back jazz fusion tracks, what can you do? It must be my age…
5) Idjut Boys & Laj – Slateo
Pitched down drums, dubby echoes, hypnotic groove. One of those records that you would like to hear over and over and never stop. Well it’s around 8 minutes mark so make sure you do enjoy those fully while getting lost in the ride. I love the Idjut Boys ,I really do.
6) Vania Bastos – Tabu
Yes, you guessed a cover of the iconic soulful queen of the 1980s: Sade. Sade is in my opinion amazing even though you will find a lot of people disagreeing … this record is also great and comes courtesy of the recent compilation of obscure synthesized brazillian hits kindly pressed by Soundway. Not every cover I like, this one I do and makes me smile. So there you go.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week, we invite back producer, DJ and artist Wrongtom, with a follow up to his previous 'Teenage Dubs' selection. This time a collection of 2nd hand records he picked up during in his teens...
"Teenage Dubs 2: Charity Shop Boogaloo".
"Last time I crossed the threshold of Dusk Dubs HQ I brought a sack of records I’d discovered in my teens, a selection which told the rough tale of my musical journey from the age of 13 and into my 20s. There was so much to pick from that I had to forgo any old records I’d stumbled upon in my quest for the perfect beat which led me through countless charity shops, market stalls and musty second hand stores.
Beyond all the modern soul, acid jazz, ragga and hip hop I was picking up, I spent a lot of my teens listening to old funk, jazz, reggae, dub, and loads of other oddities. Sometimes on dancefloors, sometimes with friends but often on my own by the record player, and almost everyday on trains and busses to school, college and work. So here’s part 2 featuring 18 old records which soundtracked my awkward years from the late 80s onwards..." [WRONGTOM]

Tracklisting
1) Augustus Pablo - The Big Rip Off
Sometime around the late 80s I was following my brother around the record stalls in Greenwich market. Still fresh to the world of buying vinyl - I owned a few records but wouldn’t be bitten by the bug til I got a job - I was fascinated by the oddities he pulled out, and lost in a world of FX and bass when we returned home with Augustus Pablo’s Ital Dub LP and Joe Gibbs’ African Dub 4. They’re both still top of my list, especially this track.
2) 20th Century Steel Band - Heaven And Hell Is On Earth
The world of discovering other people’s samples is often disappointing but I’ve sometimes found it a revelation when you hear the rest of a track. I’d heard the “children growing, women producing...” line repeatedly through the 80s on various tunes and mixes but I wasn’t expecting the steelband-disco-funk that followed when I finally heard the full track kick in. My dad played me calypso records when I was a kid, he loved the lyrics, I was a fan, so hearing steel pans over funk, in hindsight feels like a galvanising moment.
3) Prince - Lady Cab Driver
With an entire shelf of my records collection dedicated to Prince and entourage, it’s strange to imagine a time when I wasn’t that into him. I liked the singles of course so I definitely like Prince, but no more than, say, Cameo, Michael Jackson or Peter Gabriel. Then, in 1988 I heard ‘Alphabet Street’ and rushed out to buy my first Prince LP, Lovesexy, and after repeated plays, counted out my pocket money and slowly started pilfering his back catalogue.
It’s almost impossible to pick one track but hearing 1999 in full was a hallelujah moment and this ‘Lady Cab Driver’ alone is an insight into his oblique vision. Fluid instrumentation dances around rigid electro-funk drums. It’s upbeat yet kind of sad, and it all gets pretty desperate when he simulates sex with the titular cab driver exclaiming “this is for why I wasn’t born like my brother, handsome and tall” whilst seagulls chirp in the background.
4) Cymande - The Message
Another classic sample. I played the shit out of ‘Me & The Biz’ by Master Ace in my GCSE years. On first hearing Cymande’s eponymous LP I was struck by how many riffs I recognised from hip hop tunes, and ‘The Message’ particularly grabbed my attention with it’s skanky organ-heavy funk. I’d later discover they were from South London. Later still I’d wind up watching members of the group jamming in the Effra pub in Brixton. Tracks like Fug and Bra became weekly staples in the 90’s at my friend Pony’s funk night in Kingston, and we soon discovered that our friend Lee who worked the door was the nephew of one of the band (was he the bassist? Trumpeter? I can’t remember).
5) Eugene McDaniels - Jagger The Dagger
A Tribe Called Quest marked a big moment in my listening habits. Their choice of samples delved deep into a world of overlooked soul-jazz, testament to which was the Tribes Vibes comps which compiled as many as they could muster. Years before that I was especially taken with the loping skit peppered throughout their debut LP, and even more so when I heard it in full in the mix on a pirate, I forget who played it but the vocal harmonies which become increasingly dissonant as the track expands are almost terrifying, like listening into some kind of jazz-funk fuelled satanic ritual. Sold! I became obsessed with the Left Rev McD and if someone doesn’t tell the bizarre story of his Headless Heroes album which enraged the Nixon administration, then I’m gonna have to somehow do it myself.
6) The 5th Dimension - Love Lines Angels & Rhymes
I was stabbing around in the dark with little more than pocket change when I first started digging for records. Bargain bins and forgotten corners of charity shops were my chosen spots, and in fact still are. I’d splash out 50p on many a record based on a cover photo, or a nice typeface. I’d generally check the credits to see if they featured somewhat esoteric instruments like percussion, double bass, synths etc. This album ticked many of those boxes, and whilst The 5th Dimension were more easy listening than classic funk, they had their moments including nice covers of Ticket To Ride, Sunshine Of Your Love, and on this LP, a wiggy Hair-esque number with some wild tambourine shaking in the crescendo.
7) Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop
I’m pretty sure I heard ‘Pressure Drop’ years before this but it wasn’t until I was about 14ish that I finally saw Jimmy Cliff in The Harder They Come, and was struck hard by the electrifying performance of ‘Pressure Drop’ by Toots & The Maytals. Since then it’s rare that I’ve heard a Toots tune that hasn’t made me stop dead in my tracks to listen. I once heard his voice across a field at a festival and found myself unconsciously running towards him, the resulting show was like a religious experience, perhaps the flipside to first hearing ‘Jagger The Dagger’ by McDaniels.
8) The Jackson Sisters - I Believe In Miracles
I was a very fresh-faced 16 year old. Today I’d have no chance of getting into clubs, even with fake ID but fortunately in 1991, the world was a terrifying place for parents, which afforded sweaty young guttersnipes like myself the opportunity to get into various fleabag bars and clubs with security handled by local biker gangs.
One such place was a stinky former wine cellar called Bacchus in Kingston Upon Thames. I was taken there by friends I’d made in my first job at a supermarket, and it is without a shadow of a doubt, a night which changed my life. Essentially an indie night, the “Dodgy Club” was a party run by a local(ish) band called Dodgy who’d self-released a couple of jangly sunshine pop singles. This was indeed that Dodgy who’d later ride the crest of Brit-pop with their infuriatingly catchy ‘Good Enough’ but in ‘91 all I knew was they had a DJ called Chris Slade who, amongst dance floor friendly indy like Primal Scream and The Soup Dragons, dropped ‘I Believe In Miracles’ by The Jackson Sisters. This was the moment, my brain lost control and my legs took over as the moog and drums pumped out of Bacchus’ shitty old sound system. He then dropped ‘Across The Tracks’ by Maceo Parker and, like a first acid trip or discovering your dad was a porn star*, my world was never the same again.
*Not my dad I should add.
9) Herbie Mann - Memphis Two-Step
Another record I picked up on the cheap on the strength of the cover alone: a psychedelic solarised shot of Herbie in a straw hat, shades and his goatee which he’d kept since his more beatnik days. Herbie Mann is much maligned by some of the record-bore cognoscenti but I fell for his music pretty quickly and there’s some real gems in his catalogue, including this number which features some amazing vibes-work from Roy Ayers.
10) Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has A Masterplan
I’d been watching and listening to jazz most of my young life but a chance encounter with a guy I can’t remember the name of in the bin room of Waitrose, New Malden where I worked in the early 90s, led me down the wilder side of the genre. It started with a conversation about hip hop. Gang Starr, BDP, Tribe etc and of course their samples. He couldn’t believe I’d never heard Coltrane’s My Favourite Things LP so the following week he lent me a copy.
We talked more, I started digging deeper. I started reading Straight No Chaser magazine. I bought beads, cords, various furry hats. I should probably be embarrassed but I’m not. Most importantly, after playing ‘Leg In The Sea Of History’ by Galliano to death, I discovered it was based on ‘The Creator Has A Masterplan’ by Pharoah Sanders and my ears have been scorched by fire-music ever since.
11) Violent Femmes - Prove My Love
I mentioned in my previous Dusk Dubs that I didn’t really listen to much rock music until I went to college. I was turned onto various bands like Pixies, Telescopes, Pavement etc. There was one that really resonated though, the timeless sound of skiffle punk by a trio of Milwaukie kids sounding like degenerates who’d robbed the school marching band so they could perform Gordon Gano’s ratbag love songs.
I had no idea at the time that this album actually came out in the early 80s. It still sounds fresh to this day, and it’s perfect from start to finish.
12) Jeff Britton & The Spitfires - Rub Out
I picked this out of a box of 30p 7”s in about 1992. It’s a strange kind of glam-electro-funk hybrid produced by Martin Rushent in the mid 70s before he made synth pop with Human League. Someone nicked it from my bag at one of my early gigs, and on the rare occasion I’ve seen a copy since, it’s 100 times the price I originally paid.
Anyway, jump to a couple of years back and I got a call from my old mate Colin who wanted some advice about a tune on an advert by The Horrors which had ripped off one of his dad’s records. I’d known Colin since school yet I somehow didn’t know his dad was even a musician. Low and behold they’d ripped off ‘Rub Out’. We chatted some more, turned out his dad was the guitarist in rock n roll revival band Wild Angels, another band I’d bought on my early digs, on the strength of the cover alone.
Colin’s dad was the guitarist on Rub Out. We briefly discussed covering it featuring his dad reprising his role on guitar - Wrongtom Meets The Spitfires - but like a lot of my projects, I’ve yet to find a moment to put this one to tape.
13) Har-You Percussion Group - Welcome To The Party
I took up percussion in my teens, thanks in part to so many of these records I was buying. My folks gave me some congas for my 18th birthday and I started devouring any track that featured them. I think I picked this one up at first because the textless front cover looked remarkably like a Young Disciples sleeve - even the graphic designers were sampling - but on reading the story of the Har-You Percussion group in the liner notes, I couldn’t wait to get this record home and start battering away over the top.
I played Welcome To The Party at my first ever DJ gig in 1995, and I’m still dropping it in my sets to this day.
14) Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Theme De Yoyo
Summer 1993. I’d just finished my A-Levels and turned 18. I was in that dizzying axis of having the world at my feet and having absolutely no idea what to do. My friend Tom called me up to see if I fancied coming to a gig with him and his mate Forest, I’d never met a Forest before or since. I’d heard of the Art Ensemble but I don’t think I’d heard any of their records at this point. So we headed to Union Chapel in Islington and once again, my world changed.
I sat stunned for a couple of hours on my pew. The first half of the set building from sporadic whistles and bell shaking to frenetic free-jazz workouts from the core quintet, followed by the gradual introduction of another group, the Chicago Blues Tradition, until the stage was full with a dense and unstoppable barrage of free-blues and gospel. Another religious experience without God having to get involved.
I failed my A-levels and went back to college in the autumn.
15) Sopwith Camel - Fazon
Following that I formed a band with some cohorts I’d met whilst playing in another, uncomfortably proggy group. We were pooling our influences for the new band, and one member was especially well versed in jazz-rock and late 60s R&B among other things. Rob was a guitarist on the cusp of developing a serious obsession with the hammond organ. I’d often while away the hours in his kitchen with a soundtrack of Colosseum, Black Widow, early Steve Miller etc. There was one band and, more importantly, one song which I foolishly never found out the name of and spent years trying to remember until finally I recognised the album cover. Here it is, it’s perfect.
16) Juniors Eyes - Black Snake
So, my aforementioned band, the appallingly named Ganesha Traffic (my fault, sorry), we never gigged. I’m not even sure if we actually finished one song but we had fun jamming, and more importantly we made a new friend in our vocalist Sarah. The night she auditioned we dropped her back home and met her parents. A lovely pair of former hippies in a ramshackle house full of paintings and instruments belonging to her dad Mick, otherwise known as “One Take” Mick thanks to his prowess as a session guitarist, the results of which you have definitely heard on ‘Space Oddity’ by David Bowie.
Rob and I quickly became good friends with Mick, prompting him for grubby stories from the sixties, and playing on tracks recorded in his living room studio in Tolworth. He died a year or so later whilst on tour in the states but his legacy lives on, especially on this track by his band Juniors Eyes on which he sang lead before they’d settled on a permanent vocalist.
17) Grady Tate - Be Black Baby
In ‘94 I went to art school to focus on graphics but a few polarising factors led me to spend most of my time listening to music, buying music, playing music, dancing to music, you get the picture. Sometimes I’d stay in though, and it was one of these nights, sat up late on my own flicking through cable channels that I settled on an early Brian De Palma film called Hi Mom ! starring a young DeNiro as a drifting artist, and his journey through porn, into off-off-off-Broadway theatre with a black-militant group, and onto terrorism. A timeless tale.
Holding it all together was this amazing record by Grady Tate, which by chance my friend Pony started playing at his club night The Great Escape.
18) Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66 - For What It’s Worth
Yes, as mentioned above, around 1993 I met a guy called Pony handing out flyers for a club night called Madonna’s Kitten. I went, I danced, we made friends, he started a Thursday night session at the previously mentioned Bacchus in Kingston. I danced some more. Friends started joining me on the dance floor, some travelled in from the stix, others from the big smoke, and we continued dancing until he finally jacked it in almost a decade later to focus on his Small World festival stage.
Some of the happiest moments of my teens were spent on this dancefloor, making bizarre shapes and doing freeform footwork which wowed and perplexed other punters equally.
Mendes’ version of ‘For What It’s Worth’ was often the final track of the night. In fact one night my friend Christoph was in town for the first time in ages, Pony started playing it mid set and I watched this inebriated Frenchman checking his watch in the confusion, evidently worried that he’d missed last orders.
I wouldn’t relive my teens if you paid me but these records, and the friends, relationships and moments surrounding them were definitely some of the highlights.]]></description>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Wrongtom
Title: DD0528
Style: Dub, Soul, Reggae, Roots, Breaks
Time: 77 Minutes
Date: 2018-10-07
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week, we invite back producer, DJ and artist Wrongtom, with a follow up to his previous 'Teenage Dubs' selection. This time a collection of 2nd hand records he picked up during in his teens...
"Teenage Dubs 2: Charity Shop Boogaloo".
"Last time I crossed the threshold of Dusk Dubs HQ I brought a sack of records I’d discovered in my teens, a selection which told the rough tale of my musical journey from the age of 13 and into my 20s. There was so much to pick from that I had to forgo any old records I’d stumbled upon in my quest for the perfect beat which led me through countless charity shops, market stalls and musty second hand stores.
Beyond all the modern soul, acid jazz, ragga and hip hop I was picking up, I spent a lot of my teens listening to old funk, jazz, reggae, dub, and loads of other oddities. Sometimes on dancefloors, sometimes with friends but often on my own by the record player, and almost everyday on trains and busses to school, college and work. So here’s part 2 featuring 18 old records which soundtracked my awkward years from the late 80s onwards..." [WRONGTOM]

Tracklisting
1) Augustus Pablo - The Big Rip Off
Sometime around the late 80s I was following my brother around the record stalls in Greenwich market. Still fresh to the world of buying vinyl - I owned a few records but wouldn’t be bitten by the bug til I got a job - I was fascinated by the oddities he pulled out, and lost in a world of FX and bass when we returned home with Augustus Pablo’s Ital Dub LP and Joe Gibbs’ African Dub 4. They’re both still top of my list, especially this track.
2) 20th Century Steel Band - Heaven And Hell Is On Earth
The world of discovering other people’s samples is often disappointing but I’ve sometimes found it a revelation when you hear the rest of a track. I’d heard the “children growing, women producing...” line repeatedly through the 80s on various tunes and mixes but I wasn’t expecting the steelband-disco-funk that followed when I finally heard the full track kick in. My dad played me calypso records when I was a kid, he loved the lyrics, I was a fan, so hearing steel pans over funk, in hindsight feels like a galvanising moment.
3) Prince - Lady Cab Driver
With an entire shelf of my records collection dedicated to Prince and entourage, it’s strange to imagine a time when I wasn’t that into him. I liked the singles of course so I definitely like Prince, but no more than, say, Cameo, Michael Jackson or Peter Gabriel. Then, in 1988 I heard ‘Alphabet Street’ and rushed out to buy my first Prince LP, Lovesexy, and after repeated plays, counted out my pocket money and slowly started pilfering his back catalogue.
It’s almost impossible to pick one track but hearing 1999 in full was a hallelujah moment and this ‘Lady Cab Driver’ alone is an insight into his oblique vision. Fluid instrumentation dances around rigid electro-funk drums. It’s upbeat yet kind of sad, and it all gets pretty desperate when he simulates sex with the titular cab driver exclaiming “this is for why I wasn’t born like my brother, handsome and tall” whilst seagulls chirp in the background.
4) Cymande - The Message
Another classic sample. I played the shit out of ‘Me & The Biz’ by Master Ace in my GCSE years. On first hearing Cymande’s eponymous LP I was struck by how many riffs I recognised from hip hop tunes, and ‘The Message’ particularly grabbed my attention with it’s skanky organ-heavy funk. I’d later discover they were from South London. Later still I’d wind up watching members of the group jamming in the Effra pub in Brixton. Tracks like Fug and Bra became weekly staples in the 90’s at my friend Pony’s funk night in Kingston, and we soon discovered that our friend Lee who worked the door was the nephew of one of the band (was he the bassist? Trumpeter? I can’t remember).
5) Eugene McDaniels - Jagger The Dagger
A Tribe Called Quest marked a big moment in my listening habits. Their choice of samples delved deep into a world of overlooked soul-jazz, testament to which was the Tribes Vibes comps which compiled as many as they could muster. Years before that I was especially taken with the loping skit peppered throughout their debut LP, and even more so when I heard it in full in the mix on a pirate, I forget who played it but the vocal harmonies which become increasingly dissonant as the track expands are almost terrifying, like listening into some kind of jazz-funk fuelled satanic ritual. Sold! I became obsessed with the Left Rev McD and if someone doesn’t tell the bizarre story of his Headless Heroes album which enraged the Nixon administration, then I’m gonna have to somehow do it myself.
6) The 5th Dimension - Love Lines Angels & Rhymes
I was stabbing around in the dark with little more than pocket change when I first started digging for records. Bargain bins and forgotten corners of charity shops were my chosen spots, and in fact still are. I’d splash out 50p on many a record based on a cover photo, or a nice typeface. I’d generally check the credits to see if they featured somewhat esoteric instruments like percussion, double bass, synths etc. This album ticked many of those boxes, and whilst The 5th Dimension were more easy listening than classic funk, they had their moments including nice covers of Ticket To Ride, Sunshine Of Your Love, and on this LP, a wiggy Hair-esque number with some wild tambourine shaking in the crescendo.
7) Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop
I’m pretty sure I heard ‘Pressure Drop’ years before this but it wasn’t until I was about 14ish that I finally saw Jimmy Cliff in The Harder They Come, and was struck hard by the electrifying performance of ‘Pressure Drop’ by Toots & The Maytals. Since then it’s rare that I’ve heard a Toots tune that hasn’t made me stop dead in my tracks to listen. I once heard his voice across a field at a festival and found myself unconsciously running towards him, the resulting show was like a religious experience, perhaps the flipside to first hearing ‘Jagger The Dagger’ by McDaniels.
8) The Jackson Sisters - I Believe In Miracles
I was a very fresh-faced 16 year old. Today I’d have no chance of getting into clubs, even with fake ID but fortunately in 1991, the world was a terrifying place for parents, which afforded sweaty young guttersnipes like myself the opportunity to get into various fleabag bars and clubs with security handled by local biker gangs.
One such place was a stinky former wine cellar called Bacchus in Kingston Upon Thames. I was taken there by friends I’d made in my first job at a supermarket, and it is without a shadow of a doubt, a night which changed my life. Essentially an indie night, the “Dodgy Club” was a party run by a local(ish) band called Dodgy who’d self-released a couple of jangly sunshine pop singles. This was indeed that Dodgy who’d later ride the crest of Brit-pop with their infuriatingly catchy ‘Good Enough’ but in ‘91 all I knew was they had a DJ called Chris Slade who, amongst dance floor friendly indy like Primal Scream and The Soup Dragons, dropped ‘I Believe In Miracles’ by The Jackson Sisters. This was the moment, my brain lost control and my legs took over as the moog and drums pumped out of Bacchus’ shitty old sound system. He then dropped ‘Across The Tracks’ by Maceo Parker and, like a first acid trip or discovering your dad was a porn star*, my world was never the same again.
*Not my dad I should add.
9) Herbie Mann - Memphis Two-Step
Another record I picked up on the cheap on the strength of the cover alone: a psychedelic solarised shot of Herbie in a straw hat, shades and his goatee which he’d kept since his more beatnik days. Herbie Mann is much maligned by some of the record-bore cognoscenti but I fell for his music pretty quickly and there’s some real gems in his catalogue, including this number which features some amazing vibes-work from Roy Ayers.
10) Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has A Masterplan
I’d been watching and listening to jazz most of my young life but a chance encounter with a guy I can’t remember the name of in the bin room of Waitrose, New Malden where I worked in the early 90s, led me down the wilder side of the genre. It started with a conversation about hip hop. Gang Starr, BDP, Tribe etc and of course their samples. He couldn’t believe I’d never heard Coltrane’s My Favourite Things LP so the following week he lent me a copy.
We talked more, I started digging deeper. I started reading Straight No Chaser magazine. I bought beads, cords, various furry hats. I should probably be embarrassed but I’m not. Most importantly, after playing ‘Leg In The Sea Of History’ by Galliano to death, I discovered it was based on ‘The Creator Has A Masterplan’ by Pharoah Sanders and my ears have been scorched by fire-music ever since.
11) Violent Femmes - Prove My Love
I mentioned in my previous Dusk Dubs that I didn’t really listen to much rock music until I went to college. I was turned onto various bands like Pixies, Telescopes, Pavement etc. There was one that really resonated though, the timeless sound of skiffle punk by a trio of Milwaukie kids sounding like degenerates who’d robbed the school marching band so they could perform Gordon Gano’s ratbag love songs.
I had no idea at the time that this album actually came out in the early 80s. It still sounds fresh to this day, and it’s perfect from start to finish.
12) Jeff Britton & The Spitfires - Rub Out
I picked this out of a box of 30p 7”s in about 1992. It’s a strange kind of glam-electro-funk hybrid produced by Martin Rushent in the mid 70s before he made synth pop with Human League. Someone nicked it from my bag at one of my early gigs, and on the rare occasion I’ve seen a copy since, it’s 100 times the price I originally paid.
Anyway, jump to a couple of years back and I got a call from my old mate Colin who wanted some advice about a tune on an advert by The Horrors which had ripped off one of his dad’s records. I’d known Colin since school yet I somehow didn’t know his dad was even a musician. Low and behold they’d ripped off ‘Rub Out’. We chatted some more, turned out his dad was the guitarist in rock n roll revival band Wild Angels, another band I’d bought on my early digs, on the strength of the cover alone.
Colin’s dad was the guitarist on Rub Out. We briefly discussed covering it featuring his dad reprising his role on guitar - Wrongtom Meets The Spitfires - but like a lot of my projects, I’ve yet to find a moment to put this one to tape.
13) Har-You Percussion Group - Welcome To The Party
I took up percussion in my teens, thanks in part to so many of these records I was buying. My folks gave me some congas for my 18th birthday and I started devouring any track that featured them. I think I picked this one up at first because the textless front cover looked remarkably like a Young Disciples sleeve - even the graphic designers were sampling - but on reading the story of the Har-You Percussion group in the liner notes, I couldn’t wait to get this record home and start battering away over the top.
I played Welcome To The Party at my first ever DJ gig in 1995, and I’m still dropping it in my sets to this day.
14) Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Theme De Yoyo
Summer 1993. I’d just finished my A-Levels and turned 18. I was in that dizzying axis of having the world at my feet and having absolutely no idea what to do. My friend Tom called me up to see if I fancied coming to a gig with him and his mate Forest, I’d never met a Forest before or since. I’d heard of the Art Ensemble but I don’t think I’d heard any of their records at this point. So we headed to Union Chapel in Islington and once again, my world changed.
I sat stunned for a couple of hours on my pew. The first half of the set building from sporadic whistles and bell shaking to frenetic free-jazz workouts from the core quintet, followed by the gradual introduction of another group, the Chicago Blues Tradition, until the stage was full with a dense and unstoppable barrage of free-blues and gospel. Another religious experience without God having to get involved.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week Steve Proctor returns to Dusk Dubs, for part two of his life in Music.
"Welcome to the second instalment of my occasional series for Dusk dubs which charts my musical evolution with a playlist of tracks which are significant in at evolution.
This session picks up where the last session left off in 1976 (DD0440), and it was agreed with Dusk Dubs HQ that I would cover the years 1976 to 1986 this time.
I had originally attempted to offer chronological notes to accompany the session, but after two crashes in which I lost four hours writing, and then three hours writing, I have come to the conclusion that this particular session is best offered with a brief summary so here goes.
As per session one, each track has been chosen to specifically mark a particular moment, which I have identified as being important in the development of my musical psyche. Where this differs, is it also covers the beginning, and in fact my whole time as a DJ in Liverpool."

"The first three years in this set, 1976,77 and 1978 and in fact Gino Soccio from 1979, are all tracks which I'd heard being played by other DJs, or which I had sourced as a result of my working in a record shop. From the rest of 1979 onwards, all the music is directly related to my beginnings and career as a DJ. 
I was inspired to become a DJ by two other DJs who were significant in my early development. The first was Norman Killon from Erics in Liverpool, and the second was Mike Davidson from a club called Hollywood in Liverpool.
Between these two DJs I learnt the basics of what I think makes a DJ. I learned how to play different types of music, I learned that there was a lot of different music available to a D, I learned to read a crowd, and I also learned how to program music in order to make it flow to the best enjoyment of everybody. 
I learned that you can ONLY play with passion if you truly want to succeed as a DJ, and I learned that you had to find the music to express that passion to help establishing a unique identity as a DJ. A DJ has to know the music that they're playing inside out, they have to believe in it, they have to love it, they have to believe that they want to play the record to a group of people, even if it means that maybe it will clear a dance floor at the beginning, it's about having a belief and a passion for that track. 
And that's why my selection from the bulk of 1979 onwards to 1986, is comprised of tracks which for me were absolute game changes, and were absolutely massive tracks for me in relation to my developing my own career, expressing myself personally, and making people dance whilst leading them into the future.
It's apparent as you listen to the set, that my sounds and styles were early electronic dance music and up-tempo dance music, and the overall feel throughout the set is one of 'Proto Balearic, Proto acid house music, and all the terms that have become known now. 
1979 and 1980 and 1981 were probably the most three most significant years for me in my development as a DJ. I was working in a record shop where I had access to incredible stock, and was able to order anything from all over the world, whilst also being in a position where I was playing four nights a week as a DJ, and able to experiment and work and develop a relationship with people that allowed me to break records, whilst also developing my skills as a DJ as far as programming, reading a crowd, and the technical skills, because I was playing five hours a night, four nights a week. In every situation I was warming up myself, playing in the peak of the night, breaking records and  playing those records as floor fillers. It was the best education and opportunity I could have ever had, and it certainly informed my DJ style when I came to London. 
I know that will be the topic for my next dusk dubs session, which will cover the music that was influential and significant for me for the first 10 years I was in London. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this set, and apologies again for not being able to provide extensive notes as I provided last time. 
Thank you all again for listening and for your time, enjoy". ]]></description>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Steve Proctor
Title: DD0527
Style: Rock, Soul, Funk, Electro, Boogie
Time: 146 minutes
Date: 2018-09-30
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week Steve Proctor returns to Dusk Dubs, for part two of his life in Music.
"Welcome to the second instalment of my occasional series for Dusk dubs which charts my musical evolution with a playlist of tracks which are significant in at evolution.
This session picks up where the last session left off in 1976 (DD0440), and it was agreed with Dusk Dubs HQ that I would cover the years 1976 to 1986 this time.
I had originally attempted to offer chronological notes to accompany the session, but after two crashes in which I lost four hours writing, and then three hours writing, I have come to the conclusion that this particular session is best offered with a brief summary so here goes.
As per session one, each track has been chosen to specifically mark a particular moment, which I have identified as being important in the development of my musical psyche. Where this differs, is it also covers the beginning, and in fact my whole time as a DJ in Liverpool."

"The first three years in this set, 1976,77 and 1978 and in fact Gino Soccio from 1979, are all tracks which I'd heard being played by other DJs, or which I had sourced as a result of my working in a record shop. From the rest of 1979 onwards, all the music is directly related to my beginnings and career as a DJ. 
I was inspired to become a DJ by two other DJs who were significant in my early development. The first was Norman Killon from Erics in Liverpool, and the second was Mike Davidson from a club called Hollywood in Liverpool.
Between these two DJs I learnt the basics of what I think makes a DJ. I learned how to play different types of music, I learned that there was a lot of different music available to a D, I learned to read a crowd, and I also learned how to program music in order to make it flow to the best enjoyment of everybody.

"I started the Magnificent 7 Club Night with a couple of mates about 2 and a half years ago. The only rule was it has to be on 7” vinyl. We wanted an “open decks” policy and invited anyone who wanted a go, some of whom had never used decks and a mixer before!
These days we also allow the odd 12” and album tracks and our night is going from strength to strength. The records I have chosen for dusk dubs are a mixture of ones I have always loved, new-to-me tracks that others have played at the nights and the odd daft tune. It’s quite a mellow selection compared some of the bangers that are played on the night and I hope you enjoy them !"

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite DJ, collector and Bam Bam Sounds resident Johnny Clash to the Dusk Dubs family. 
"First things first. While I felt hugely honoured to be asked to contribute to this venerable series, I was also knocked sideways a bit by the brief, mainly because my personal inclination at the hour of sundown is generally either (i) to listen to some brutal half-time drum & bass with some guy yelling a list of items of Jamaican vocabulary in a Manchester accent or (ii) to watch an old episode of The Chase on Challenge. Neither of which really seemed appropriate behaviour in this instance.
So, after some thought, I tasked myself with identifying and collecting together music that fitted into the category of “I like this music but it is not too bangin for other people to listen to at the cocktail hour, nor does it feature Bradley Walsh”. I soon found that I had a bunch of tunes that I thought were either rather nice or made me feel rather emotional, or both. And then I had another look at the brief and I realised that I had just done pretty much exactly what the brief had been asking me to do all along.
So there isn't really a theme beyond that. But I have noticed that I did manage, quite unwittingly, to come up with a set of recurring motifs. I had no idea prior to preparing this mixtape that I had such a thing for moving water, for example. Other motifs, themes, or nervous tics I have spotted in my tracklist and in the music and lyrics included therein are: places and place names, spirited (and spiritual) vocal exclamations, music I've heard at festivals and in basements, struggle, solidarity, survival, hope, redemption, and love. That's a pretty good list if I say so myself. Do let me know if you spot anything else."

Tracklisting
1) Sengerema (Kagunga) S.D.A. Choir - Simba Wa Yuda
First tune is from a Seventh Day Adventist choir from Tanzania. I downloaded this for free from the awesome Awesome Tapes From Africa website. I'm lucky enough to have heard the Awesome Tapes From Africa guy djing off of cassettes at a festival and it was bloody lovely. I picked this tune partly because there is one repeated lead vocal snippet which absolutely slays me, and also because I spent four years of my childhood in Tanzania, so it means a lot. True story.
2) The Wailers – How Many Times aka Do You Remember
A tune so good they named it twice. I chose this one because once again the lead vocal, and particularly this one kind of exclamation that he does halfway through the chorus, makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This is a promising group of young lads from Trenchtown in Kingston, Jamaica, by the names of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone. I wonder what ever happened to them?
3) S.E. Rogie - Dieman Noba Smoke Tafee
The title translates as Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana, which, as far as I can ascertain, is true.
4) Amadou and Mariam – M'Bife
There's a story that's been going round for a few years that I cried while I was watching Amadou & Mariam at the Big Chill festival. So what if I did?
5) Nina Simone - Chilly Winds Don't Blow
I only got into Nina Simone properly quite recently. I think I'd been put off by that advert for yoghurt or home contents insurance or whatever it was that had that “I've got my arms, got my legs”tune on it. And then I saw footage of her performing the entire tune live and it was frankly mindblowing. It's a completely different story to the one you get in the advert. Chilly Winds Don't Blow is great and it is a close relative of a variety of other American folk/gospel tunes. It's practically the same song as Woody Guthrie's “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, but I think it is part of the same family and shares some (if not all) of the same connotations as a song such as “This Train Is Bound For Glory” as performed by Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Big Bill Broonzy, Staples Singers, Alice Coltrane, and many more.
6) Aretha Franklin – The Weight
When I was a child my dad sat me on his knee and explained to me why the Band were better than Creedence Clearwater Revival. Don't get me wrong, Creedence were super and some of John Fogerty's solo stuff is great too. But the Band were on a whole other level. Here's Aretha with a cracking version of a great Band composition. I believe that is Duane Allman on slide? He was once asked how a skinny white dude from a military family got to be so good at playing the authentic blues and he replied something along the lines of “I locked myself in my room with a huge bag of amphetamine and a guitar and didn't come out for two straight years”.
7) Sean Wheeler and Zander Schloss - Catch Me If I Fall
I didn't really get how good these guys were till I saw them live. This song has the single strongest emotional effect on me of any piece of music ever.
8) Cakehole Presley - Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down
In the mid to late 90s I lived in a basement in Coldharbour Lane in Brixton with some rough but gentle boys from Somerset and at least once a week we listened to a little-known but well-loved album from 1988 called “Soft Drinks & Snacks” by a band called The Howling Sleepers. It's almost impossible to get hold of now and I don't even have a copy myself. I wish someone would re-release that record. The singer Chris Ridgway has carried on and here he is in reflective mood, with his current band the excellently named Cakehole Presley. This song contains quite a lot of swearing and yelling. But I think it's actually lovely so nerr.
9) Slaid Cleaves - Breakfast In Hell
I saw this guy play in a basement in the Farringdon area. He's from Austin, Texas via Washington D.C., Round Pond, Maine, and Cork City, Ireland. Can you imagine being called “Slaid Cleaves”? I mean, that's his actual name, pretty cool.
10) Joe Strummer - Tennessee Rain
What with me being called “Johnny Clash”, people often ask me “do you like the Clash at all?” And I actually do. Here's Strummer in mumbly country mode, from the soundtrack of the frankly bizarre Alex Cox movie “Walker”. (Is there any other kind of Alex Cox movie?) That's Zander Schloss playing guitar and looking after the arrangement on this tune. I saw him playing guitar in Strummer's band at a music festival in Milton Keynes in approx 1986. Alexei Sayle was compere. “Wouldn't it be great if everywhere was like Milton Keynes. Would it fook!!” I pretty much forgot about Zander Schloss after that apart from hearing Strummer introduce him as “the weiner man from Straight To Hell” on the bootleg cassette I bought of the same festival performance I'd seen them at. (“Straight To Hell” is another frankly bizarre Alex Cox movie.) Then thirty years later I saw him play at a festival with Sean Wheeler and I buttonholed him afterwards to tell him I'd last seen him play thirty years previously. He sort of said thanks that's a great story and then sort of ran away.
11) Planxty - Rambling Boys of Pleasure
There was about a year starting mid to late 1991 when I stopped pretending to be Jamaican and pretended to be Irish instead. That's when I first got into Planxty. Planxty were an astonishing, revolutionary, ground-breaking, raucous, beautiful, Irish folk music band made up of four remarkable individuals. Singing lead on this number is the inspirational, all-round good human being Andy Irvine. He's still going strong. I saw him play a few weeks ago, he was great.
12) Stick In The Wheel - Sweet Thames Flow Softly
My new favourite band. An astonishing, revolutionary, ground-breaking, raucous, beautiful, English folk music band made up of five remarkable individuals. They do a few of the same songs as Planxty funnily enough, including this one. This is from an audio-visual art project thingie, designed to be listened to on headphones whilst standing on Waterloo Bridge, which is how I heard this band for the first time. This song was written by Ewan MacColl, who also wrote “Dirty Old Town” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”. Pretty good at the old songwriting, then.
13) Tanya Stephens - To The Limit
A big Bam Bam Sound tune. (Bam Bam Sound is the tag-team reggae and bass music dj thing I do with my handsome footballer friend, you should check it out.) Tanya Stephens is the don. “Some people live their life like a metaphor, clean as a whistle, neat as a pin, That's not the kind of vibe I'm looking for, haffi try a likkle bit of almost everything.”
14) Judy Mowatt - Black Woman
Real talk.
15) Culture – Love Shines Brighter
I am so in love with Joseph Hill's voice I can't tell you. I can listen to this group happily every day. This one is a very jolly number. They recorded it three times in about six months in 77/78 and the three versions came out on three different albums, two of which were official releases and one which was a kind of bootleg. This is my favourite of the three, it's from the “Baldhead Bridge” LP.
16) Sons Of Kemet - Rivers Of Babylon
I've only just started listening to Sons Of Kemet. Most of their stuff is pretty bangin, this one is a bit more mellow. What with these guys and Nina Simone on my playlist, I may be in the process of reiventing myself as a groovy jazz guy. That might freak a few people out.
17) Konono #1 - Kuke Kule
I have this theory that Konono #1 might be the best band in the world. Much like the previous act, they usually do straight bangers, but this one is slightly more contemplative and breathy. I have seen Konono #1 twice at music festivals and I wish to see them again sooner rather than later.
18) Big Bill Broonzy – This Train
So I thought I'd finalised the tracklisting and for reasons too tortuous to go into a vacancy opened up for one more tune. And I'd been thinking about this song in connection with that other song so I went and listened to about fifteen versions and picked this one. I would also heartily recommend the Bunny Wailer, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Culture, Snooks Eaglin, and Buckwheat Zydeco versions, in addition to those mentioned above. I wouldn't recommend any of the three Cliff Richard versions and certainly not the Mumford And Sons version. I haven't listened to it and I am not going to and I don't think you should either. By the way, Big Bill Broonzy also did a version of “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, which I mentioned earlier as a kind of twin brother of “Chilly Winds Don't Blow” and first cousin of “This Train”. And Woody Guthrie, who did a marvellous version of “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, liked “This Train” so much that he named his autobiography “Bound For Glory” after it. It's all circles within circles and wheels within wheels, bud.
19) Fats Domino – Blueberry Hill
The Fat Man. The greatest. RIP the daddy of rock'n'roll and the grandaddy of all subsequent popular music. Yes.]]></description>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Johnny Clash
Title: DD0525
Style: Rock, Soul, Funk
Time: 81 minutes
Date: 2018-09-16
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite DJ, collector and Bam Bam Sounds resident Johnny Clash to the Dusk Dubs family. 
"First things first. While I felt hugely honoured to be asked to contribute to this venerable series, I was also knocked sideways a bit by the brief, mainly because my personal inclination at the hour of sundown is generally either (i) to listen to some brutal half-time drum & bass with some guy yelling a list of items of Jamaican vocabulary in a Manchester accent or (ii) to watch an old episode of The Chase on Challenge. Neither of which really seemed appropriate behaviour in this instance.
So, after some thought, I tasked myself with identifying and collecting together music that fitted into the category of “I like this music but it is not too bangin for other people to listen to at the cocktail hour, nor does it feature Bradley Walsh”. I soon found that I had a bunch of tunes that I thought were either rather nice or made me feel rather emotional, or both. And then I had another look at the brief and I realised that I had just done pretty much exactly what the brief had been asking me to do all along.
So there isn't really a theme beyond that. But I have noticed that I did manage, quite unwittingly, to come up with a set of recurring motifs. I had no idea prior to preparing this mixtape that I had such a thing for moving water, for example. Other motifs, themes, or nervous tics I have spotted in my tracklist and in the music and lyrics included therein are: places and place names, spirited (and spiritual) vocal exclamations, music I've heard at festivals and in basements, struggle, solidarity, survival, hope, redemption, and love. That's a pretty good list if I say so myself. Do let me know if you spot anything else."

Tracklisting
1) Sengerema (Kagunga) S.D.A. Choir - Simba Wa Yuda
First tune is from a Seventh Day Adventist choir from Tanzania. I downloaded this for free from the awesome Awesome Tapes From Africa website. I'm lucky enough to have heard the Awesome Tapes From Africa guy djing off of cassettes at a festival and it was bloody lovely. I picked this tune partly because there is one repeated lead vocal snippet which absolutely slays me, and also because I spent four years of my childhood in Tanzania, so it means a lot. True story.
2) The Wailers – How Many Times aka Do You Remember
A tune so good they named it twice. I chose this one because once again the lead vocal, and particularly this one kind of exclamation that he does halfway through the chorus, makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This is a promising group of young lads from Trenchtown in Kingston, Jamaica, by the names of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone. I wonder what ever happened to them?
3) S.E. Rogie - Dieman Noba Smoke Tafee
The title translates as Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana, which, as far as I can ascertain, is true.
4) Amadou and Mariam – M'Bife
There's a story that's been going round for a few years that I cried while I was watching Amadou & Mariam at the Big Chill festival. So what if I did?
5) Nina Simone - Chilly Winds Don't Blow
I only got into Nina Simone properly quite recently. I think I'd been put off by that advert for yoghurt or home contents insurance or whatever it was that had that “I've got my arms, got my legs”tune on it. And then I saw footage of her performing the entire tune live and it was frankly mindblowing. It's a completely different story to the one you get in the advert. Chilly Winds Don't Blow is great and it is a close relative of a variety of other American folk/gospel tunes. It's practically the same song as Woody Guthrie's “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”, but I think it is part of the same family and shares some (if not all) of the same connotations as a song such as “This Train Is Bound For Glory” as performed by Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Big Bill Broonzy, Staples Singers, Alice Coltrane, and many more.
6) Aretha Franklin – The Weight
When I was a child my dad sat me on his knee and explained to me why the Band were better than Creedence Clearwater Revival. Don't get me wrong, Creedence were super and some of John Fogerty's solo stuff is great too. But the Band were on a whole other level.

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we welcome London based producer, singer, songwriter and musician Rhi to the Dusk Dubs family.
American born Rhi aka Rhiannon Bouvier grew up in rural Ontario, Canada. As a young child it would be the piano that first sparked her interest in music, resulting in lessons on classical piano from the age of 8.
Growing up on a diet of classic rock, Rhi went to concerts in Toronto to see artists like Jethro Tull, Jeff Beck and Alice Cooper with her father. Soon after she was introduced to bands like System of A Down and Nirvana, and by the age of 14 she was playing guitar and writing her own songs.
Rhi moved to Ireland when she was 16, before moving to Brighton the following year to study music. Writing more and treading heavier musical paths, she leaned towards alt-rock and grunge influences before forming three-piece alt-rock band Monochrome Mary in 2013.
Whilst travelling in 2014, Rhi was introduced to FKA Twig’s ‘EP2’, which kick started her passion to become a producer. Delving further into electronic music, she sought out friends to teach her what they knew about producing.
Signing to Brighton based Tru Thoughts Record Label in 2017, Rhi developed her minimal, ethereal electronic soundscapes, culminating in the release of her debut album 'Reverie' in November of 2017, which received a rush of support from taste-makers and press worldwide,
"I’ve compiled a selection of music that has influenced me over the years. Whether it be as a songwriter, singer, musician, or producer, the artists/songs I’ve selected have had an impact on me in one way or another. I’ve been passionate about different genres at different times in my life though a consistent element in the majority of the music I gravitate towards is a melancholic tone. Even as a child learning classical piano, I only ever wanted to play music in minor keys. I’m also a bit of a bass junkie - so I’m easily wooed by a lush, subby bass line.
Classical music influence has been a big part of my life since I began learning piano at the age of 8. Rachmaninov’s music is complex and passionate and taught me that music can be the outlet for the emotions that you may find difficult to express any other way. I discovered Satie’s music later in life, and it showed me that even the simplest melodies can be the most evocative.
Burial was my first love in electronic music, and I always cite him as one of my main influences. As someone who has loved music from a wide array of genres, for me, his music evokes an emotional intensity that very few modern artists have achieved, especially in electronic music. In terms of bass, drums, melodies, textures and overall originality, his music ticks all the right boxes for me.
Led Zeppelin was one of my favourite bands in high school and at that time I was playing guitar every day, as much as I could, and starting to write my own songs. As a musician, they were a big influence. I fell in love with the main guitar riff in ‘No Quarter’ - simple yet brilliant.
Nirvana was the first band I covered live (my vocal range was similar to Cobain’s when I first started singing) and so they were a great influence on me as a songwriter and performer.
Ani Difranco was a big influence on me as a budding songwriter - she was totally original and self-taught and I loved that she didn’t worry about fitting into a specific genre. She just did her thing and her sound evolved with every album she released - she wasn’t afraid to push boundaries and break rules, both as a writer and vocalist.
Eminem was my entrance into hip hop as a teen. I heard his first album “Infinite” a few years later, but to this day it’s one of my favourites. His flow and tone are particularly good on this album.
FKA Twigs’ EP2 was a huge influence on me when I first started producing music - it made me want to do it all - write, sing, and produce. Arca’s production is unreal - “Papi Pacify” never fails to give me goosebumps. Another brilliant example of genre-bending music."

Tracklisting
1) Grant Green -  Down Here on The Ground
A lovely vibesy number to open up as sampled by A Tribe Called Quest.  I first heard this on a bootleg compilation of Tribe sample sources.  I feel like I came to a lot of old jazz and soul through the hip hop sample !
2) Sarah Vaughan – Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)
Sarah Vaughan’s version of the Marvin Gaye classic is a thing of beauty.  I first heard this when I moved to London in the days when Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge and Bob Jones were on one after another on Kiss FM Sunday nights.  I can’t remember which of them played it, but it had me reaching for the notepad.
3) Letta Mbulu – Pula Yetla
Letta Mbulu and David Axelrod are a wonderful combination, this song is the proof.
4) Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson – The Liberation Song (Red, Black & Green)
It’s one of my regrets that I never got to see Gil live before he passed away.  I had tickets to see him around the time of the XL album but the gig was cancelled due to a volcano cloud.  This is one of my absolute favourites of his.
5) Betty Davis – Anti Love Song
I first had this song on a mixtape from an acid jazz club I went to a few times when at uni in Leeds.  For years I didn’t know who it was or who it was by.  When I finally found out I was over the moon to get hold of a proper copy on wax.
6) Aaron Neville – Hercules
Another one I came to via a hip hop sample.  This one used by Young MC on I Come Off
7) Flora Purim – Stories to Tell
I’ve been to Brazil a couple of times but never managed to buy any music until my most recent trip.  It happened to be my birthday and I got the green light to spend the afternoon sifting through the racks in a lovely shop in Rio (shout out to Tracks).  This is taken from one of the treats I picked up.
8) Nina Simone – See-Line Woman
I managed to see Nina live in Paris not too long before she passed away.  I didn’t expect her to do this song, but an audience member happened to request it.  She answered back that it’s a dance song and she’s too old to dance.  After a bit of crowd encouragement, she started humming the melody and the band joined in.  A magical moment for me.
9) Rose Royce – Sunrise
I’ve never seen the film Car Wash, but when I heard this lovely piece of music on the radio one afternoon, I had to find myself a copy of the soundtrack.
10) Gwen Guthrie – Peanut Butter (Larry Levan mix)
One of those tracks that was rinsed for samples in the early rave days.  Has the effect that certain lines jump out at you with familiarity.  Larry Levan’s dubby disco vibe is something truly special.
11) Marvin Gaye – A Funky Space Reincarnation
Taken from Marvin’s infamous divorce album ‘Here, My Dear’, Marvin at his funkiest.
12) UMCs – One To Grow On
It was all about hip hop when I was a youngster and this is one of the tunes I used to blast from my bedroom.
13) Dudley Perkins – Flowers
I’m a big fan of Madlib who produced this and I absolutely love Dudley’s woozy vocal on this one.
14) 2day & 2moro – Disney On Acid
Cute little 7” from the always dependable Omniverse label.  I suspect this is a Marc Mac production as most things were on that label.
15) Nora Dean – Angie La La
I love the vibe on this, a little bit freaky, a little bit weird. A record I come back to time and time again.  Zara McFarlane did an amazing version too.
16) New Sector Movements – Para
IG Culture is one of my all-time favourite producers.  The New Sector period for me is his most stunning work.  This one just sounds like nothing else before or since.
17) Lil’ Louis & The World – New Dance Beat
Taken from his excellent second album, ‘Journey with The Lonely’.  This is one of the house tracks I first learnt to beat mix with on a pair of belt driven Aristons (shout out to Jonesy!)]]></description>

Cute little 7” from the always dependable Omniverse label.  I suspect this is a Marc Mac production as most things were on that label.
15) Nora Dean – Angie La La
I love the vibe on this, a little bit freaky, a little bit weird. A record I come back to time and time again.  Zara McFarlane did an amazing version too.
16) New Sector Movements – Para
IG Culture is one of my all-time favourite producers.  The New Sector period for me is his most stunning work.  This one just sounds like nothing else before or since.
17) Lil’ Louis & The World – New Dance Beat
Taken from his excellent second album, ‘Journey with The Lonely’.  This is one of the house tracks I first learnt to beat mix with on a pair of belt driven Aristons (shout out to Jonesy!)]]></itunes:summary>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This Sunday we release our annual celebration of London's Notting Hill Carnival and this time around we have invited one of our long time family members Danny Mac to select his sound system bangers.

"First and foremost a big thank you to Dusk Dubs for inviting me to select the music for this year's Carnival Special.
Carnival for me has always been about the music, music, music, oh and the food. The first half of my selections are all the tunes I was exposed to growing up in London during the late 70s and 80s, and for me Carnival Classics.
The second half are tunes I listened too, danced too, raved too in my misspent youth (what’s the point of youth if it hasn’t been misspent) and also for me.... Carnival Classics."

Style: Trip Hop, Funk, Soul, Jazz, House, Drum & Bass
Time: 105 minutes

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This weekend we welcome Producer, DJ, and London's Rye Wax 'One Seventy' Regular, Books to the Dusk Dubs Family.
Books is a producer currently residing in North East London. His music is a reflection of the fallout from a post drum and bass aesthetic. Highly textured, brooding, melancholic and reflective in its nature; whilst exploring a spatiality, movements in space and immersive sound environments.
Releases on the Detuned Transmissions, Detuned vs Eternia and a debut EP and vinyl release on Metro’s Ortem imprint has seen his productions begin to reach a wider audience. As well as remixes for DAAT, Dyl and Jalex Books has a forthcoming 12” and a solo album scheduled for release later this year.
Alongside his solo work he has also been collaborating with Hiphop instrumentalist ‘Aver’ on a project still under construction. Books is a regular at the acclaimed One Seventy night at Rye Wax in London. For a taste of his style and productions check this mix for the One Seventy show on Balamii…
"Firstly I’m hugely honoured to have been asked to provide a mixtape for what is such an amazing series alongside some incredible musicians, DJs and producers. This is an extensive resource, which draws on years of musical expertise and knowledge. To be given the chance to add something to this catalogue is an honour.
The premise for the podcast is a special one and is, for me such an important part of what makes our relationship to music so extraordinary. This selection is of particular meaning to me, and for a variety of reasons which in some ways is hard to pin down. There is some music included that I have only come across very recently and some which I’ve known for as long as I can remember, some tunes which help me to access particular memories, or vibe and emotion and some which export me to another universe. These songs can stand as gateways to eras of our lives and as structures to hold us up in harder times.
The meaning and pleasure derived from music is always in the ear and mind of the listener and is for you to decide, and yet what makes music so important is the chance to share our experience of what we hear. There is no right or wrong in this.
The mix is a snapshot of music that influences and inspires me, and connects me with the people that occupy my world. I hope you enjoy the selection."

Tracklisting
1) Alaska & Seba – Back from Eternity
This is a sublime piece of music. I find the breaks have a hypnotic quality when combined with the slow moving washed out pads. The depth of which reaches a beautiful crescendo, going deeper and wider drawing you in. Beautifully simple and effortless in execution. I’ve enjoyed this tune with close friends at the evenings end.
2) Billy Ocean - Nights (Feel Like Getting Down) (Discoslexic Edit)
This was a tune I heard on the end of an edition of ‘The Aptitude Show’ on Rinse FM with Dbridge. I’ve never heard the original but immediately had to find out what it was to get a copy. I love playing this tune to people. Mainly because I can remember my own reaction when I first heard it. Smashed it at a friend’s wedding recently!​
3) Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do For Love
There is a beautiful restraint and understatement to this track. The whole tune has an equilibrium which is never dominated by any part in particular. I love a slow jam and this is one of the best ever.
4) Burial – UK
Incredibile sketch from Burial. For what is a relatively short piece of music it draws you in very quickly and deeply. The whole piece I perceive through an ethereal filter as delicate voices scatter the crackling horizon. Burial’s music at times exists in its own environment and I love that about his work.
5) Dan Harbanam – Record
Dan Harbanam is another producer who takes you on a unique journey. His ‘From The Known’ album, from which this track is taken, is truly unique. The beautiful meandering melodies of this piece take me to a place of reflection.
6) Distance - Fallen
I will always have fond memories of the early days of Dubstep; club nights put on by friends, house parties and festivals. This particular tune always grabbed the imagination of myself and a close mate. The monastic chanting, subtle bass and drums send me away.
7) J Majik – Repertoire
This track is brilliantly detailed. There is a new element to hear and consider on every listen. The pads are soaring and the ever present arpeggio holds the track together as the other elements dance around the space. This one is ever evolving and a dream like voyage from all the wau back in ‘96.
8) Justin time – Movin
This record was gifted to me by a friend in 2001 I think, along with a load of other hardcore records from around the 94/95 period. We’re not in touch anymore but the memory and this tune endures! This is my favourite of those tunes, the classic pianos and pitched up vocals make it.
9) Lorne Greene – Ringo
This one takes me back to playing records from my Dad’s collection as a child. My Dad got this record from his cousin apparently as he had two copies (lucky guy). This track is the b-side to the Bonanza theme tune which has nothing on this banger, a more dramatic tale has never been told.
10) Patrice Rushen - Remind Me
Another favourite slow jam from my vinyl collection. I now forget where I originally heard it but was hunting a copy for a while. Just so smooth and love the instrumentation. Stone cold classic.
11) Prince - Crazy You
There had to be Prince track included in this mix, there are so many to choose from. This one is a personal favourite from his first studio album. Love the intimate quality to this track and Prince’s trademark vocal lines capture his brilliance.
12) Talib Kweli & Hi Tek - The Blast
One of my favourite HipHop tracks of all time. I first saw this on MTV base which I used to watch with my brother and had to get the album (Train of Thought). The laid back nature of the beat matched with both Kweli and Hi-Tek featuring on vocals is killer. Love it.
13) They Live – 7998
The interaction between human and robot featured in this track can actually be found somewhere in the realms of the internet. Here the conversation is brilliantly juxtaposed and the futuristic scene created is fully sick. The ‘Cancel Standard’ album is well worth checking out.
14) Transportation AAD – Pagoda
Released on Darkestral this track is probably my favourite from the seminal label. A good friend picked up this copy for me, amazingly for just £2. Bargain. I love this track, one of my favourites from the autonomic era. Absolute perfection, it just blows me away. The alias is a co lab between Boddika and the label owner Rico I believe.
15) ASC & Sam KDC – Lost Negatives
Incredible ambience in this piece. The pads slay me down. I love playing this track as part of my sets, it really takes me away. As soon as it starts the listener is transported to a different place. This track was also instrumental in tuning my ears into ambient music in general.
16) Dbridge _ Detuned Heart
At least one Dbridge tune had to be included, I’ve always been a huge fan of his music. This one features that classic Dbridge tonality. The ethereal arpeggios convey an almost futuristic dystopian setting. The timbre of the synth, subtle arrangement and high flying pads make this one.
17) DJ Taye feat. DJ Manny - Burnin Ya Boa
This track serves as a great introduction to the sound of Footwork. Twisted soul samples, with jagged intensity of drum programming and heavy 808s.
18) Dreamcast - Liquid Deep
I first heard this track as an instrumental by an artist called Sasac. I think it had a limited vinyl release which I missed but was recorded with a vocal and released at a later date. I prefer the instrumental to be honest but its still an amazing tune. Super smooth.
19) Floating Points -For Marmish Part II
Fourteen minutes of absolute bliss, close your eyes and let yourself go. I only heard this one a few weeks ago for the first time. Love the way it builds and evolves over the duration of the track. Have yourself a moment.
20) H.E.R – Facts
H.E.R is yet to release a full studio album as of yet. I heard this track on my kitchen radio and needed to find out who she is immediately. Her voice is mesmerising and the production on her stuff sounds great to my ears.
21) King Krule – Cementality
King Krule is a national treasure. This track features some of his trademark self depreciating wordplay, imagery and reverb.
22) Roy Ayers – Let Me Love You Again
I had to include some Roy Ayers. There is so much positivity in his music. This is not from the most celebrated period of his career but still delivers. I love the opening lines from Chandri Curelli who provides the second lead vocal. Roy’s tunes always sound good with a female vocalist in my opinion. Standard rinse out on the vibraphone also included.]]></description>

This one takes me back to playing records from my Dad’s collection as a child. My Dad got this record from his cousin apparently as he had two copies (lucky guy). This track is the b-side to the Bonanza theme tune which has nothing on this banger, a more dramatic tale has never been told.
10) Patrice Rushen - Remind Me
Another favourite slow jam from my vinyl collection. I now forget where I originally heard it but was hunting a copy for a while. Just so smooth and love the instrumentation. Stone cold classic.
11) Prince - Crazy You
There had to be Prince track included in this mix, there are so many to choose from. This one is a personal favourite from his first studio album. Love the intimate quality to this track and Prince’s trademark vocal lines capture his brilliance.
12) Talib Kweli & Hi Tek - The Blast
One of my favourite HipHop tracks of all time. I first saw this on MTV base which I used to watch with my brother and had to get the album (Train of Thought). The laid back nature of the beat matched with both Kweli and Hi-Tek featuring on vocals is killer. Love it.
13) They Live – 7998
The interaction between human and robot featured in this track can actually be found somewhere in the realms of the internet. Here the conversation is brilliantly juxtaposed and the futuristic scene created is fully sick. The ‘Cancel Standard’ album is well worth checking out.
14) Transportation AAD – Pagoda
Released on Darkestral this track is probably my favourite from the seminal label. A good friend picked up this copy for me, amazingly for just £2. Bargain. I love this track, one of my favourites from the autonomic era. Absolute perfection, it just blows me away. The alias is a co lab between Boddika and the label owner Rico I believe.
15) ASC & Sam KDC – Lost Negatives
Incredible ambience in this piece. The pads slay me down. I love playing this track as part of my sets, it really takes me away. As soon as it starts the listener is transported to a different place. This track was also instrumental in tuning my ears into ambient music in general.
16) Dbridge _ Detuned Heart
At least one Dbridge tune had to be included, I’ve always been a huge fan of his music. This one features that classic Dbridge tonality. The ethereal arpeggios convey an almost futuristic dystopian setting. The timbre of the synth, subtle arrangement and high flying pads make this one.
17) DJ Taye feat. DJ Manny - Burnin Ya Boa
This track serves as a great introduction to the sound of Footwork. Twisted soul samples, with jagged intensity of drum programming and heavy 808s.
18) Dreamcast - Liquid Deep
I first heard this track as an instrumental by an artist called Sasac. I think it had a limited vinyl release which I missed but was recorded with a vocal and released at a later date. I prefer the instrumental to be honest but its still an amazing tune. Super smooth.
19) Floating Points -For Marmish Part II
Fourteen minutes of absolute bliss, close your eyes and let yourself go. I only heard this one a few weeks ago for the first time. Love the way it builds and evolves over the duration of the track. Have yourself a moment.
20) H.E.R – Facts
H.E.R is yet to release a full studio album as of yet. I heard this track on my kitchen radio and needed to find out who she is immediately. Her voice is mesmerising and the production on her stuff sounds great to my ears.
21) King Krule – Cementality
King Krule is a national treasure. This track features some of his trademark self depreciating wordplay, imagery and reverb.
22) Roy Ayers – Let Me Love You Again
I had to include some Roy Ayers. There is so much positivity in his music. This is not from the most celebrated period of his career but still delivers. I love the opening lines from Chandri Curelli who provides the second lead vocal. Roy’s tunes always sound good with a female vocalist in my opinion. Standard rinse out on the vibraphone also included.]]></itunes:summary>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist:  Paul Rimbaud
Title: DD0519
Style: Soul, Jazz, House, Drum & Bass
Time: 77 minutes
Date: 2018-08-05
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This weekend, we welcome Distant Worlds label boss Paul Rimbaud to the Dusk Dubs family!
"I’d first like to express my thanks for the opportunity to contribute to one of my favourite mix series on the web, one that has soothed many a hangover on a Sunday afternoon. Also a shout to all the previous selectors who made the job that much harder by having picked some amazing selections already. I have tried to avoid any repeats from previous mixes though I’m sure a couple may have fallen through the cracks.
I tried to approach this as condensing the ‘journey’ of a night out into a listenable ‘album’ amount of time - from the first drinks at a bar all the way through to moving from bar to club and then piling back into a front room or after party at the very end.
When I think of sunset tunes, I rarely think of my usual surroundings of South London but more of a chiringuito on the Med, drinks flowing, the music complimenting the vista, the night alive with possibility and I have tried to capture that spirit here albeit with a little divergence into South London!"

Tracklisting
1) Len Leise - A Bend In The River
I remember there being a liberal sprinkling of ‘alternative facts’ surrounding this release, apparently pertaining to be an old producer discovered in a tape bin in Paris and persuaded to come out of retirement to make this EP. True or not, the music speaks for itself as is generally the case with anything International Feel releases, they are truly at the heart of the new Balearic movement. This tune is very reminiscent of Philip Glass or Steve Roach but transported into the rainforest with its chimes, hand drums and eerie yet hopeful melody.
2) Paul McCartney - Sunshine Sometime (Instrumental)
Outside of The Beatles, my favourite McCartney work has always been McCartney II, which amongst the majority of his fans was mostly rubbished. I remember my mum coming home from a boot sale, having bought a copy for me. I stuck it on the record player expecting something Beatle-esque and thought, “what the fuck is this?” but quickly grew to love the tunes like Temporary Secretary and Frozen Jap that made use of early synths and sequencers. Years later I came across a bootleg record called McCartney Balearic Rarities featuring different versions of those tracks, discovering this track on there and, my, what a beauty… perfect sunshine music.
3) Abel Lima - Corre Riba, Corre Baxo
Featured here to further enhance that beach bar vibe, Costa Verde vibes here, don’t know too much about this release or artist, picked up a 7-inch a few years back of this and simply feels immeasurably suited to a sunset mojito or such like.
4) Grace Jones - The Crossing
Trevor Horn conjuring up a moment of magic here which epitomises the sound of sunset in Ibiza for me; warm, ethereal, tropical, uplifting yet melancholic. Sampled nearly a decade later by Ed Rush for the ‘ardcore generation on 5AM, which is equally worthy of a sunset spin.
5) Maizena - Approval
Couple years back i was walking out of my usual record shop and i heard this tune, turned instantly to ask the guy behind the counter what it was. “Maizena”, he says, “Regelbau crew, Aarhus” in the most condescending manner possible as if I was an idiot for not knowing instantly. Yet such was the force of his tone that I began to sympathise with him, instantly aware of my faux-pas and display of shameless ignorance. So in an effort to educate myself and somewhat redeem myself in front of this font of knowledge I bought a copy and in the coming weeks promptly bought up the back catalogue on a trip to Barcelona. They have fast become my favourite label/collective of recent years. Check their radio shows, mixes, releases: everything they touch is gold, not tied down by genre and spanning everything ambient to house to jungle in the process.
6) Kuniyuki Takahashi - Echoes Of The Past
Only discovered this artist this year after Music From Memory put out a 2 volume retrospective of his tape stuff from the 80s and 90s. Both come highly recommended but this track is a particular highlight for me, perfect for melting into as day becomes night.
8) Cloudface - Meadow Like
This track perfectly suits the sunset for me, and signifies the step off from relaxing drinks to preparing for the onslaught, the slow beat of the deep deep kicks in the background beckoning you to the club. The melody has melancholia in droves as subtle touches morph and counter the central riff. The sun is down, now it’s time for the night to take shape…
9) Kadidiatou Samakes - Eyaye (Lord Leopard Re-Decoration)
Fantastic edit of an equally fantastic tune but for our purposes this is the one to get the night underway. My missus is very into African music and opened up my eyes to labels such as Analogue Africa and Awesome Tapes and when I discovered this tune in a record store day (not usually a fan) unsold pile I found it to be perfect for those sundowner sets to transition between the more song based tracks to start the night and the heavier beat-led sounds to come.
10) Open Spaces - Sunrise Paradise Garage
In the late 90s / early 2000s, before discogs and the like, record shops were treasure troves of undiscovered greatness. I had a Music & Video Exchange minutes from where I went to university and I visited EVERY day. Piles and piles of records for 50p and a £1, glorious stuff. This was one such record, bought, unheard, thinking it was something else and costing all of 50p when I got it home it dawned on me that I had found a real treasure!! Reminiscent of another fave of mine, Orbital’s Chime (i think both released around the same time) this transports you instantly away to a better place.
11) Sunshower - Weekend Millionaire
An example of a perfect club tune, prominent 4/4 layered with tough breaks and a healthy dose of euphoria. Not much more to say about this tune, I’ll let it do the talking…
12) Mikey James - Mello
Another record bought unheard (HMV Bromley, 1994 hahaha, funny - I must have thousands of records yet I can remember where i bought nearly every one of them) purely on the strength of it being a Sub Base tune. Once more, not dissapointed. Mikey was/is the brother of the more well-known rave hero, Mark Ryder. This release went very much under the radar at the time. I don’t seem to remember it ever being played out or on the radio but, tucked away on the B Side, it’s a sublime slice of gloriousness. Available for peanuts on discogs still.
13) Omni Trio - Beyond The Fundamental (Big Bud Remix)
I discovered this track on 99.2, as part of the budget sampler series put out by Moving Shadow in the late 90s. This track was the soundtrack to the journey to and from clubs and raves back then in my car. Fond memories of driving around with this blasting out at stupid o clock in the morning on the way home, still feeling the buzz of the night before and not wanting it to end. Whole tune just has that sense of movement to it and I will never tire of it, pure lushness when the bassline comes in.
14) Endgames - Ecstacy (Jam City Refix)
First became aware of this after Aphex Twin ended his set with it at Bloc (I think). Not familiar with the original but very little of that is used bar a few synth stabs repurposed. The rhythm is fractured and spastic yet still funky and another rack where the euphoria shines through. Topped off by some mad square wave bassline that floats in and out straight out of the early grime scene.
15) Pinch - Qawwali
This is where the euphoria starts to dwindle, to be replaced by a hint of paranoia and darkness. Night is truly upon us as Pinch delivers a masterclass in deepness with this meditative roller. Minimal and understated, saturated in depth, this is approaching the pinnacle of the scene that grew out of FWD and Plastic People. Timeless.
16) Panda Bear - Ponytail
Both Panda Bear and parent band, Animal Collective went through a period of a few years where they could do no wrong for me. I always thought of them as being like The Beach Boys but having lived through acid house and having added a healthy dose of MDMA to the psychedelic diet they were already knocking back in the 60s. This tune is like a signpost of the inevitable comedown, saying that the rave honeymoon is over, the euphoria’s gone. Still beautiful but fractured and more delicate. You just gotta love the refrain, “When my soul starts growing” which i like to mis-hear as “When my soul starts glowing”. If you’ve been there, you’ll know the feeling…
17) John Williams - Yub Nub
Well, what better way to finish than with the final piece of music heard in the finest sci-fi trilogy ever committed to film. Memories of this piece of music always fill me with a tinge of sadness, I remember being a kid and having watched a Star Wars marathon this tune was the pointer that it was all over, no more, you’ve done all 3 and there’s nothing more to watch haha. Still that melancholia has a little hold over me every time I hear it but really it’s the sound of hope and there’s a nice message there in the lyrics too if you care to listen out.]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This weekend, we invite the Nottingham based record digger and DJ Beane Noodler to the Dusk Dubs family, with a stunning eclectic selection of inspirations.
Beane is based in Nottingham where he co-hosts the infamous darkroom disco 'Soul Buggin' ' in Nottingham (residentadvisor.net/promoter.a...er.aspx?id=6451) which is now entering its 14th year. 
A passionate digger of almost 25 years he also hosts his fortnightly online radio show 'Beane's Noodle Hotpot' (beane.podomatic.com) where he gets to showcase music from around the world. Having DJed for over 2 decades he has played alongside a whole host of great international selectors such as Gilles Peterson, Mr Scruff, Andrew Weatherall, Norman Jay, Benji B and many many more.

Tracklisting
1) Leslie Bricusse And Anthony Newley - Pure Imagination 
A thousand childhood memories tied up in one perfect song. DJ Harvey nicked my trick of opening a DJ set with it for his Boiler Room session a few years back and I͛ve still yet to have a word with him about that but we͛ll let it go for now, I͛ve got enough on my plate. Absolute tears of joy every time I hear this track.
2) Jeff Wayne - Eve Of The War 
Scary as f*ck when you͛re force fed it as a kid via your old man as your mum͛s cooking the sunday roast. It͛s an amazing piece of music and still gives me chills today. The album came with the a book filled with an illustrators vision of HG Wells invasion story. Creepy as hell.
3) The Orb - Assassin 
No Orb fans ever seem to talk about this track which makes me paranoid that it͛s the ͚black sheep͛ of that era or something but I͛ve always loved it. While many of my peers were lying in fields on mushrooms watching this live no doubt, I was a spotty 16 year old lying on my bed in Peterborough, listening to this while eating 8 slices of peanut butter and jam toast while daydreaming out window about just what that assassin looked like.
4) Nuyorican Soul - The Nervous Track 
Impossible to gauge the effect Masters at Work have had on me, so many huge records they͛ve produced that sit proud in my collection but the Nuyorican Soul album was the ͚big un͛ and via their cover versions introduced me to Salsoul, Minnie Ripperton, Roy Ayers, Rotary Connection etc. ͚The Nervous Track͛ was one of the preceding singles and 21 years later has lost none of it͛s potency.
5) Seba & Lotek - So Long
The mother of all drum and bass drift outs. Sounded pretty epic in the 90͛s and still does to this day, even played it out again at a local old school night last year and still sounds incredible. Classic LTJ Bukem style long intros, outros and breakdowns but the best bit is the way the amen just sneaks up on yer out of nowhere.
6) Bent - Winter 
A record I always like to listen to when it snows outside from the sadly no longer still together Bent crew. They were a fine Nottingham duo who made some wonderful records splashed with their unique sense of humour. They still make music individually but their Bent output will always hold a special place in my heart.
7) The Doors - Riders On The Storm
The Doors seem a bit marmite for some people don't they? I always loved em as a kid and ͚riders on the storm͛ is a personal fave. Classic and still gets dropped every now and then at an afterparty.
8) Bassheads - Is Anybody Out There
A 27p record on discogs these days but pure gold when you͛re 14 and watching top of the pops on a Thursday night rola cola-ed up to the max. We sometimes forget how mad the UK National charts were back at the start of the 90͛s. Rave culture had started to bleed into the mainstream and of course this wasn͛t the best record of that era, it͛s pretty commercial but one that sums up the spirit of the charts at the time.
9) Bassomatic - Fascinating Rhythm 
Go and watch the live performance of this on YouTube from Dance Energy 1991 and I dare anyone in their late 30͛s/early 40͛s not to get goosebumps. Magical. Still bosh it out every now and then.
10) Helene Smith - You Got To Be A Man 
A firm favourite, killer soul that I was introduced via one Soul Jazz Record͛s wonderful comps. The 7” goes for silly money but it ain͛t that one you want, grab the 12” for 3 quid. Such a powerful vocal.
11) Underworld - Rez 
Not the biggest Underworld fan and but ͚Rez͛ slides in nicely. Goes on for what feels 4 days so a great toilet record when you really need to go.
12) Barry Miles - Magic Theatre 
Jazz dance fusion at it͛s finest. 11 minutes of madness that I occasionally play out here in Nottingham at the Out To Lunch jazz dance session. Always sends em loopy but the record has a lot of history I guess down in London.
13) Vangelis - Blade Runner Main Titles 
Impossible to pick a single tune off this but of course the track simply titled ͚main titles͛ is everybodies favourite. I almost can͛t listen to this if I͛m hungover as it all gets a bit emotional and I end up a bit of a wreck but a stunning piece of music.
14) DJ Rels - Diggin’ In Brownswood 
The best broken beat record not made in west London. Maybe THE best broken beat record. Madlib giving it some under his ͚DJ Rels͛ alias and smacking it out of the park. When I first heard it you won͛t forget it and that͛s before you get to the absolute bananas breakdown that doesn͛t really make sense but just adds to it͛s appeal.
15) Timeline - Transition (4 Hero Remix) 
West London remixes Detroit. They should of made a film. When ͚4 hero met Underground Resistance͛ would of been so much better that ͚When Harry Met Sally͛. What remix and still hugely underrated and I͛ve never understood why. To be fair it is a bit of a beast and it͛s got a full on rave vibe going on, would probably clear the floor these days but you know they͛d be back on by the end.]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite Brighton based Jazzology aka Leon Ricciardi to the Dusk Dubs family, as we ask him to delve into his record racks, and presents a back to mine style selection that includes music from the 90’s and music you might hear at his Jazzology events.

Tracklisting
1) Joe Farrell - Too High - Penny Arcade LP - CTI
2) Stevie Wonder - They Won’t Go When I Go - Fulfillingness’ First Finale LP - Mowtown
3) Re:Jazz - Inner City Life - Points Of View LP - INFRAcom
4) Roy Ayres - What You Won’t Do For Love - Get On Up Get On Down LP - Polydor
5) Goldie - Sea Of Tears - Metalheadz 12”
6) Dr Octagon - Blue Flowers - Mo Wax 12”
7) The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With A Movie Camera - Everyday LP - Ninja Tune
8) Midlake - Roscoe ( Beyond The Wizard Sleeve Re:animation ) 10” - Is it Balearic Recordings
9) DJ Shadow - Organ Donor ( Extended Overhaul Mix ) 12” - Mo Wax
10) Tony Allen - Politely - A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 10” - Blue Note
1) Joe Farrell - Too High - Penny Arcade LP - CTI
I got Penny Arcade from Jazzology resident Ill Treats, who’s currently doing his thing in the US. I’ve been real lucky with my residents, Treats being one of the UKs finest Hip Hop producers and The Tipster from the legendary Knowledge Of Self crew, who used to throw down some of the UKs finest Hip Hop parties in Brighton back in the 90’s / early 00’s. Between us we cover a whole range of angles, Jazz wise. Treats & Tipster’s record collection is riddled with all your favourite, known and lesser known Hip Hop samples.
To keep things extra fresh, we have guest crate diggers down each month to showcase their Jazz records too. Shout to Wil Howell, The Tipster, Ill Treats, all our guest DJs, the Jazzology / Black Dove crew and past / present bar staff. Its all of you that help make Jazzology what it is. Big up !
(For regular listeners of the Jazzology Radio Show on 1BTN, the outro music to the show uses an excerpt of “Jazz” written & produced by Ill Treats, feat: Glad2Mecha on mic duties…) This version of “Too High” has been played often at Jazzology over the last year. Solid stuff by Joe Farrell, also featuring one of my favourite pianists, Herbie Hancock. One of the many LP’s to look out for on the CTI label ( especially for the sample heads ).
2) Stevie Wonder - They Won’t Go When I Go - Fulfillingness’ First Finale LP - Mowtown
Continuing with Stevie Wonder, he was one of the many greats who was a big part of the musical backdrop to my childhood. I was blessed to have been exposed to such great music as a kid. This is one of my favourites from Stevie. Emotional…
3) Re:Jazz - Inner City Life - Points Of View LP - INFRAcom
This is a piece of music that needs more exposure. I feel 95% of the DnB world has no idea that this track even exists ( hopefully i’m wrong ).
Big up Goldie, Rob Playford, Diane Charlemagne (RIP) for the original and the Re:Jazz crew for such a great cover version of a track, that originally broke so many boundaries, sound and production wise… Timeless.
4) Roy Ayres - What You Won’t Do For Love - Get On Up Get On Down LP - Polydor
Roy Ayres is an artist i’ve still yet to see live !. There are many tracks I could have chosen from his back catalogue, including music from his RAMP project. This one’s a personal favourite. I love everything about this tune, and that vibes solo from Roy at the end of the track too..! Special.
5) Goldie - Sea Of Tears - Metalheadz 12”
As with Stevie Wonder, Goldie has been a big inspiration in my life, musically. I’ve had nothing but respect for the man since I first heard his music and record label Metalheadz back in the early 90’s. Not just for his music, also for the journey he’s been on, and what he’s achieved, personally and professionally.
People ( online, not to his face ) often criticise Goldie for having engineers and other producers to help him make his music but without Goldie, that music wouldn’t exist. He’s an artist, a visionary and a deep soul that’s influenced many.
Being fortunate enough to see Goldie & The Heritage Orchestra live in London back in 2015 was an emotional gig for all in attendance ( including the staff at the Royal Festival Hall ). Its a testament to his vision and determination to perform his debut LP from 1995 “Timeless” with a live Orchestra. ( I’m aware that Focusrite recorded it too…! fingers crossed this audio will be shared with us at some point. )
His label and the quality of the output that’s still being released all these years later, is also a testament to him and those within his close circle, past, present and future.
6) Dr Octagon - Blue Flowers - Mo Wax 12”
A lyrically deep hip hop cut that i originally heard on James Lavelle’s Cream Live 2 mix. One of those mixes that stayed in the tape player for many years, and Qberts cuts on this track..!! Deep stuff all ‘round.
( the mix is well worth diggin’ out, which can be found on youtube for those interested )
7) The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With A Movie Camera - Everyday LP - Ninja Tune
In regards to personally producing music, there are many tracks that resonate with me from various breakbeat driven genres that I wish i’d written. This is one of them.. The Cinematic Orchestra in general is one of those bands that hits the spot on so many levels. Such strong output since their debut LP “Motion” from 1999. They combine live instruments with modern electronic programming and sampling perfectly.
8) Midlake - Roscoe ( Beyond The Wizard Sleeve Re:animation ) 10” - Is it Balearic Recordings
Originally Jazz artists, who met at University in America who went on to form Midlake. This version from Beyond The Wizard Sleeve ( Erol Alkan and Richard Norris ) comes from one of my favourite surf films from 2009 “The Drifter” featuring Rob Machado.
The original version of this track is tight too. I’ve got a soft spot for American Folk / Folk Rock and need more in my collection… Along with Jazz its perfect music to listen to when on the search for some waves.
For those who don’t know, Jazz music was the original soundtrack to the first surf movies before the Beach Boys came along in the 60s. Check the OST “Slippery When Wet” from Bud Shank as a good example.
9) DJ Shadow - Organ Donor ( Extended Overhaul Mix ) 12” - Mo Wax
Shadow had a massive influence on my sound as a producer. The ultimate crate digger, who’s still pushing the envelope and moving forward with his craft. This is one of those beats that always goes down well when dropped at a gig !. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.
10) Tony Allen - Politely - A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 10” - Blue Note
It would be rude not to include something from the mighty Blue Note Records. There are far too many to choose from this label, though this is a recent release that some of you might have missed.
I love the original from Art Blakey, so when I heard this, it was a piece of music that really hit home. Emotive with a lot of soul.
Its a great release overall, all the tracks and players on this EP are strong. If you find it buy it on sight. The price is rising quick though. Don’t sleep !]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite Brighton based Jazzology aka Leon Ricciardi to the Dusk Dubs family, as we ask him to delve into his record racks, and presents a back to mine style selection that includes music from the 90’s and music you might hear at his Jazzology events.
Leon Ricciardi is the founder and resident DJ of Jazzology, a vinyl based night in Brighton UK and the host of the Jazzology Radio Show - every 3rd Wednesday of the month 8pm - 10pm on 1BTN ( 101.4FM / DAB+ Radio or online - 1btn.fm ). 
Leon has been DJ’ing since 1994, playing at various prestigious clubs including award winning events around Europe and Australia. Most recently, at Spiritland in London and for Vinyl Veterans in Brighton. 
"Jazzology is every last Saturday of the month at The Black Dove. 
Notable DJ’s that have been guests > Ill Treats, Russ Dewbury, Evil Ed, Mac McRaw, Rob Life, Jonny Cuba, Lascelle Gordon, Simon S, DJ Manipulate, Basement Phil, Aroe, DJ Prone, Justice, Metro, Gary Johnson & Gareth ( Mr Bongo ) plus many more, who have all graced the decks and supplied the heat. 
Expect to hear 50s - 70's Jazz, Bebop, Hardbop, Model, Indo Jazz, Spiritual Jazz to Fusion / Funk influenced Jazz and all that good stuff in between, including many samples you may have heard in Hip Hop & Jungle throughout the years...
Shout to all the real world diggers, vinyl DJ’s and 1BTN for allowing me to share great music on their radio station.

9) DJ Shadow - Organ Donor ( Extended Overhaul Mix ) 12” - Mo Wax
10) Tony Allen - Politely - A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 10” - Blue Note
1) Joe Farrell - Too High - Penny Arcade LP - CTI
I got Penny Arcade from Jazzology resident Ill Treats, who’s currently doing his thing in the US. I’ve been real lucky with my residents, Treats being one of the UKs finest Hip Hop producers and The Tipster from the legendary Knowledge Of Self crew, who used to throw down some of the UKs finest Hip Hop parties in Brighton back in the 90’s / early 00’s. Between us we cover a whole range of angles, Jazz wise. Treats & Tipster’s record collection is riddled with all your favourite, known and lesser known Hip Hop samples.
To keep things extra fresh, we have guest crate diggers down each month to showcase their Jazz records too. Shout to Wil Howell, The Tipster, Ill Treats, all our guest DJs, the Jazzology / Black Dove crew and past / present bar staff. Its all of you that help make Jazzology what it is. Big up !
(For regular listeners of the Jazzology Radio Show on 1BTN, the outro music to the show uses an excerpt of “Jazz” written & produced by Ill Treats, feat: Glad2Mecha on mic duties…) This version of “Too High” has been played often at Jazzology over the last year. Solid stuff by Joe Farrell, also featuring one of my favourite pianists, Herbie Hancock. One of the many LP’s to look out for on the CTI label ( especially for the sample heads ).
2) Stevie Wonder - They Won’t Go When I Go - Fulfillingness’ First Finale LP - Mowtown
Continuing with Stevie Wonder, he was one of the many greats who was a big part of the musical backdrop to my childhood. I was blessed to have been exposed to such great music as a kid. This is one of my favourites from Stevie. Emotional…
3) Re:Jazz - Inner City Life - Points Of View LP - INFRAcom
This is a piece of music that needs more exposure. I feel 95% of the DnB world has no idea that this track even exists ( hopefully i’m wrong ).
Big up Goldie, Rob Playford, Diane Charlemagne (RIP) for the original and the Re:Jazz crew for such a great cover version of a track, that originally broke so many boundaries, sound and production wise… Timeless.
4) Roy Ayres - What You Won’t Do For Love - Get On Up Get On Down LP - Polydor
Roy Ayres is an artist i’ve still yet to see live !. There are many tracks I could have chosen from his back catalogue, including music from his RAMP project. This one’s a personal favourite. I love everything about this tune, and that vibes solo from Roy at the end of the track too..! Special.
5) Goldie - Sea Of Tears - Metalheadz 12”
As with Stevie Wonder, Goldie has been a big inspiration in my life, musically. I’ve had nothing but respect for the man since I first heard his music and record label Metalheadz back in the early 90’s. Not just for his music, also for the journey he’s been on, and what he’s achieved, personally and professionally.
People ( online, not to his face ) often criticise Goldie for having engineers and other producers to help him make his music but without Goldie, that music wouldn’t exist. He’s an artist, a visionary and a deep soul that’s influenced many.
Being fortunate enough to see Goldie & The Heritage Orchestra live in London back in 2015 was an emotional gig for all in attendance ( including the staff at the Royal Festival Hall ). Its a testament to his vision and determination to perform his debut LP from 1995 “Timeless” with a live Orchestra. ( I’m aware that Focusrite recorded it too…! fingers crossed this audio will be shared with us at some point. )
His label and the quality of the output that’s still being released all these years later, is also a testament to him and those within his close circle, past, present and future.
6) Dr Octagon - Blue Flowers - Mo Wax 12”
A lyrically deep hip hop cut that i originally heard on James Lavelle’s Cream Live 2 mix. One of those mixes that stayed in the tape player for many years, and Qberts cuts on this track..!! Deep stuff all ‘round.
( the mix is well worth diggin’ out, which can be found on youtube for those interested )
7) The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With A Movie Camera - Everyday LP - Ninja Tune
In regards to personally producing music, there are many tracks that resonate with me from various breakbeat driven genres that I wish i’d written. This is one of them.. The Cinematic Orchestra in general is one of those bands that hits the spot on so many levels. Such strong output since their debut LP “Motion” from 1999. They combine live instruments with modern electronic programming and sampling perfectly.
8) Midlake - Roscoe ( Beyond The Wizard Sleeve Re:animation ) 10” - Is it Balearic Recordings
Originally Jazz artists, who met at University in America who went on to form Midlake. This version from Beyond The Wizard Sleeve ( Erol Alkan and Richard Norris ) comes from one of my favourite surf films from 2009 “The Drifter” featuring Rob Machado.
The original version of this track is tight too. I’ve got a soft spot for American Folk / Folk Rock and need more in my collection… Along with Jazz its perfect music to listen to when on the search for some waves.
For those who don’t know, Jazz music was the original soundtrack to the first surf movies before the Beach Boys came along in the 60s. Check the OST “Slippery When Wet” from Bud Shank as a good example.
9) DJ Shadow - Organ Donor ( Extended Overhaul Mix ) 12” - Mo Wax
Shadow had a massive influence on my sound as a producer. The ultimate crate digger, who’s still pushing the envelope and moving forward with his craft. This is one of those beats that always goes down well when dropped at a gig !. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.
10) Tony Allen - Politely - A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 10” - Blue Note
It would be rude not to include something from the mighty Blue Note Records. There are far too many to choose from this label, though this is a recent release that some of you might have missed.
I love the original from Art Blakey, so when I heard this, it was a piece of music that really hit home. Emotive with a lot of soul.
Its a great release overall, all the tracks and players on this EP are strong. If you find it buy it on sight. The price is rising quick though. Don’t sleep !]]></itunes:summary>

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we invite Havoc to the DuskDubs Family.
Hailing from Belgium, Jim has been a vinyl collector since the mid 90s - loving all things old school jungle, hardcore, breakbeat and early drum & bass, alongside a keen exploration with all kinds of electronica, jazz, soundtracks, downtempo, instrumentals, ambient and everything in between.
"First I would like to thank the Dusk Dubs crew for inviting me. My selection contains 21 tracks, first half will be dedicated to Belgian bands and producers from back in the days until now. Expect a beautiful mess of jazz rock fusion funk but also electronics ambient soundtrack and instrumentals or library stuff.
Hope you enjoy it."

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we are very proud and excited to invite producer, artist, label owner, and of course one half of Fila Brazillia... Mr Steve Cobby to the Dusk Dubs family, who takes us on a musical journey from '66 to 86', back to the songs and artists that shaped him before the age of 20.

Tracklisting
'66 to ’86
1) Frank Zappa. Peaches En Regalia / Hot Rats. I loved following the changes and the triumphant and playful tones in ‘Peaches'.. The funkiness of it and the mad tapestry of sounds. Featured on a Sunday Times compilation LP entitled ‘Rock Revelations’ that my Dad bought in the 70’s which was a window into a brilliant array of musical worlds, unlike the pop that my youthful ears had been attuned to. The LPs influence on me is inestimable and so quite a few tunes in this list are plucked from it.​
2) Compared To What - McCaan and Harris / Swiss Movement. Also first heard on ST LP As relevant now as the day it was recorded live at the Montreal festival in 69. Profound work. Written by Eugene / Gene Mcdaniels who also wrote Feel Like Makin Love for Roberta Flack and Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse
3) You’re All I Need To Get By - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terelle / Motown Chartbusters Vol 3. An LP that received heavy heavy plays and rotation in the Cobby house when I was growing up. Had to include something from it. Went with Marvin and Tammi as he’s a genius and very high in my all time uber-dons list.
4) Another early love was the LP ‘Tom Cat’ by Tom Scott and the L.A. Express. Refried is taken from it. Fathers purchase again. I have him to thank for my love of solid grooves. I’d sit listening to this album on the headphones dreaming of all things American and how cool it was. I was the 70’s I was weaned on Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, The Rockford Files, McMillan and Wife, Ironside, Cannon, McCleod and Columbo.
5) Regiment - Byrne and Eno / My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. The LP that fundamentally changed my outlook. I’d never come across or seriously considered incorporating sonic objet trouve into tracks. Be that from the radio, or lps or the TV. All presented on this magnificent LP.
6) Talking Heads - Listening Wind / Remain In Light. A song that has become more pertinent as the years have elapsed with its subject matter addressing foreign occupation, the concept of one mans freedom fighter being another mans terrorist.. Eno production and Adrian Belew adding top sonic textures with his guitar treatments and colours make it sonically very similar to Bush Of Ghosts.
7) Steely Dan - Home At Last / Aja. I was in my late teens before I started to ‘get’ Steely Dan. Id dismissed them as FM schmaltz as a young lad listening to Led Zep and Pink Floyd but soon woke up to the writing craft and production wizardry of Messrs Fagan and Becker. A sterling back catalogue.
8) Captain Beefheart - My Head Is My Only Home / Clear Spot. My favourite LP by Don Van Vliet, his eccentricity perfectly corralled by Bob Clearmountains disciplined production. A Tour de force. First heard via Baz Sharp, who was an HVAC engineer that our kid was apprentice to.
9) Tim Buckley – Dolphins / Morning Glory. Another selection from ‘Rock Revelations’. I was drawn to all things melancholic as a youth and nothing has really altered that attraction. Fred Neil penned this existential masterpiece which I coincidentally went on to cover with my band Heights Of Abraham many years later.
10) Blue Nile is another one from the Dad quadrant. He’d bought it after hearing ‘Tinseltown' on the radio apparently. More wistful gear….
11) Adrian Sherwoods more experimental production style was a massive influence when I was learning to record and produce and On U sound was a go-to label that rarely put a foot wrong. Loved all the Head Charge stuff and also Tackhead especially.
12) I loved Althea and Donna, Ken Boothe and Bob Marley, but if a reggae song didn’t get in the charts, I never heard it. My hometown wasn’t multicultural enough to warrant the shops to stock it and no one was playing it on the radio. That all changed when i met David Brennand a.k.a. Porky. who was renting a room in a shared house that my girlfriend at the time was living in. His reggae collection was immense. It was a schooling. I thank him for that. I was drawn to the dub stuff especially. Using the studio as an instrument would become a cornerstone of my approach and I have Lee Perry and King Tubby to thank for inspiring that. All heroes.
13) Cabaret Voltaire came into my life via John Bird, my uncle. His record collection was amazing. Like the John Peel show in hard form. I rifled it whenever I visited and the Cabs jumped out. Red Mecca and Voice Of America lp’s didn’t sound like music as I knew it. Lot of incoherent noise in there and atonal goings on.. I was appalled and intrigued at the same time. I would later get into them in a big way. Microphones and Crackdown are landmark LP’s. I went on to work with Richard and Steve who became and still is a very good friend. See the note for Nelson below. Same applies here.
14) I’ve picked this 7” version of Moonlight by TD for time restraints wouldn’t allow me to drop the 18 minute version from ‘Encore’, their live LP from 77. An LP my elder brother brought into the house that I hammered incessantly for years. It sounded fresh as new paint in the 70’s. An array of electronically generated sounds coupled with a classical approach to arranging plus improvisation and ad hoc tackle. Seminal. Never gets old.
15) Bill Nelson. Wherever my old mate Chris Wardell is, I have him to thank for turning me onto Bill Nelson and Magazine. They both had a massive impact. I didn’t much care for Be Bop Deluxe, but once Bill went solo I was in. A huge influence… His 'Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam' LP had a bonus LP ‘Sounding The Ritual Echo’ tucked in with it that was all instrumentals and is where this track’s taken from. I loved that album. He recorded it at home on basic equipment so it had a very appealing lo-fi quality to it. I was fortunate enough to meet and work with him in the 80’s. They say never meet your heroes but he turned out to be a wonderful human being.
16) Miles Davis – All Blues / Kind Of Blue. Again I wasn’t hearing much Jazz as a kid. Apart from a bit of Jazz-Funk courtesy of Tom Scott and Co. Then a lad called Chris who worked in a clothes shop alongside the market place I was working in lent me a cassette tape with Kind Of Blue on the A side and A Love Supreme by John Coltrane on the B. Properly opened me up to it. What better pair of ‘gateway’ Lps could you wish for? I imagine things would have turned out very differently if it had been Archie Shepp and Ornette Coleman.
17) Eno again, but this time in a production capacity as he twiddles the Hansa Studio knobs for Mr Bowie. I first heard Heroes in a friend of a friends flat I’d stumbled back to after the pub in my early drinking days. The A side is ace of course but the flip side was the first time I’d heard anything remotely ‘ambient’ ….I was entranced. I also remember waking up there the next morning and looking over to see Rob Eslor asleep in a puddle of his own piss.
18) I was never a massive fan of Japan, but once David Sylvian started exploring the ambient side of things I was hooked. Gone To Earth LP2 is a stunning section of textures, minimal approaches and treatments that captivated me from the off. Bill Nelson plays lead acoustic guitar on this track.
19) Led Zeppelin - Bron Yr Aur / Led Zep III. Very big Zep fan around 12/13 years old. Big brothers introduction again. They’re homogenous now, but they still felt ‘underground’ when I came across them. Certainly didn’t see or hear them performing on TV or Radio. Obviously they were selling huge amounts of LPs and doing packed out shows to thousands, but all of it was away from the zeitgeists glare. When they did get referenced they were marginalised as 'heavy metal', which amused me no end. John Bonham is one of the funkiest drummers Ive heard. Picked a pastoral number to fit in with the playlist vibe.
20) I do love Brian. I didn’t set out to feature him so heavily, but he obviously deserves a front seat considering how much of his work has seeded my ideas. Iconoclast, pioneer and general maker of good and interesting things. Erudite and engaging when discussing ideas. A signpost as I was learning my craft. Chapeau Eno! . . . Apollo is an extraordinary LP. Which has serviced many an altered state. A fitting end.]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week Dusk Dubs invites multi-talented... Label Owner, Music Journalist and DJ Dom Servini, to take us on a very personal journey through his musical memories and influences.
Dom Servini is a legend of the eclectic music scene in London. As co-owner of the Wah Wah 45s record label, and resident DJ at their club and live events, as well as being an internationally respected turntablist, Dom knows not only how to rock a party, but also has the knack for finding an exciting new artist or two. Dom has been responsible for signing Honeyfeet, Hackney Colliery Band, The Milk, Dele Sosimi, Resonators and many more.
Dom is also an experienced music journalist, and was singles editor for jazz bible Straight No Chaser from 2003, then its offshoot Shook, followed by his own double-spread in the black music monthly, Echoes magazine, and now writes regularly for the highly respected Bandcamp website as well as the resurgent SNC, back after a long hiatus.
As a radio DJ, Dom hosts his own monthly radio show on both Soho and Netil Radio, as well as a Wah Wah Radio show with label partner Adam Scrimshire. Both the latter and Dom’s previous weekly show on Back2Back FM have been shortlisted in the Mixcloud Awards, and the Wah Wah Radio Show won Best International Funk & Soul Radio Show 2014.
Dom was also recently ranked by FACT Magazine as number 7 in the Top
100 Most Underrated DJs on the planet!
Over the past two and a half decades Dom has played across the globe, from touring Japan, North America and Australia, to regular gigs in Europe. UK gigs have included residencies with Gilles Peterson as well as currently the famous South London Soul Train, Oval Space and weekly Fridays at The Jazz Café. Dom is a festival regular and has played The Big Chill, Soundwave Croatia, Lovebox, and Bestival to name but a few, and every year DJs and hosts the Southern Soul Festival (which he co-founded) in Montenegro. 
His energetic and open-minded mix of anything soulful, be it afro-beat, jazz, house or hip hop, make him a club favourite.

1) Donald Byrd – Elijah
In my late teens and early 20s I was living in Brighton whilst studying. I somehow found myself in the legendary Jazz Rooms (ironically only one room) most weekends. There I listened to Rob Luis play at his early Huggies’ Disco club night; Norman Cook playing soul and disco before he became a Fatboy; and Russ Dewbury spinning latin and club-jazz at the Jazz Rooms night. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this masterpiece of foot friendly, soulful spiritual jazz – it opened my mind to what could be played on a dance floor and changed my record buying habits right there and then.
2) Young Disciples - All I Have In Me (Original Musiquarium Mix)
The 90s was the decade when all of my musical influences (both realised and subliminal) came together, and Gilles Peterson was a hugely important influence in that. His seminal imprint, Talkin’ Loud, was easily my favourite label at that time. I was a fan boy – I still am – and looking back, the Young Disciples Road To Freedom album is easily one of the most important releases in British black music, period. This extended, string filled remix of one of the album highlights is an evergreen alternative club banger for me, and Demus (AKA Dilip Harris) is without a doubt one of the most talented and unsung producers to work in this country in the last thirty years.
3) Wham! - Everything She Wants
Ah, George. What a loss. What a songwriter, what a voice and what a man - soul boy, pop star and warrior for social justice. He was my hero before I even realised he was most of these things. Wham! took over from Madness as my favourite ‘band’ of the 80s. For me it was catchy pop music, but, as is often the case, it’s only when we look back on this music with a more developed palate that we realise its true influences. Wham! were steeped in soul, and this song, for me, is their finest moment. It still sounds good in a disco.
4) Sade – Paradise
When I moved out of my grandparents’ house in the early 80s, Sade moved in - possibly with Robert Elms (but I might be making that bit up to improve the story). I remember vaguely being into her music back then, but again as a child a lot of it passed me by. It’s only now that I have a huge passion for her output, and this song comes recommended for immediate transportation to the beach, should you ever need it!
5) A Tribe Called Quest - Luck of Lucien
There’s something very quasi-Brexit about listening to this song now. My personal favourite from most definitely my top hip hop outfit of all time. I remember the first time I heard Peoples Instinctive Travels.. (from which this is taken) and much the same as with the Donald Byrd record, it changed the way I thought about music, and as a fledgling DJ, the way I as trying to move dance floors. It also combines a wry sense of humour with what is a very funky little hip hop record. That Billy Brooks sample! Oooof!
6) Young-Holt Unlimited - Wah Wah Man
In ’99 Hospital Records boss Chris Goss and his brother Simon asked me to join them as a resident at their weekly Friday night Wah Wah club session at The Jazz Café in Camden Town. It took me about one second to answer that question and a year later I joined their record label too. I soon went from having no siblings to two ready-made brothers in music, and I have to dedicate this song to Simon, who we sadly lost to lung cancer in 2010 and miss dreadfully every single day.
7) Weldon Irvine - Music Is The Key
Just a beautiful moment where my two great musical loves – soul and jazz – meet to create something truly special, and with a message that means so much to me. I’ve become something of a musical obsessive (especially in recent years) and even though family and friends have taken centre stage in my life (especially since becoming a husband and father!) I still believe that music is the key!
8) Steely Dan – Aja
Best album of all time. There, I’ve said it. I could have picked any track from this album really (although maybe not Peg) but seeing as it’s a regular on Dusk Dubs and Scrimshire picked my other favourite from the album, Deacon Blues, I had to go for the title track. Steely Dan remind me of my late father. Without me really realising it, he set my taste in “blue-eyed soul” from an early age. Billy Joel, Chicago, The Doobies and Gerry Rafferty were regulars on our home hi-fi, although it was Steely Dan that I came back to with a vengeance in later life. In the late 90s I moved into a flat with my mate Rob, a Dan obsessive, in Highgate, North London. His encyclopaedic knowledge of Becker and Fagan fuelled the fire for me and I’ve been a Dan nerd ever since.
9) Rufus & Chaka Khan – Destiny
I became a teenager the year I Feel For You came out. Chaka hit number one with that song and I immediately fell in love with her and her voice. Once again, I spent most of the 90s discovering her much better back catalogue, especially the music she recorded with her band, Rufus. I think it was Gilles I first heard play Destiny and I’m pretty sure it made me cry with its tender, soul/jazz aesthetic, those keys and that voice soaring sweetly in between.
10) Mark Murphy - My Favourite Things
I went to drama school in the late 70s and early 80s. I was a bit of a stage struck child, and even made an advert and featured in a couple of episodes of Grange Hill! What I did do a lot of though, was act in musicals. Having seen The Sound of Music at least every Christmas for the first decade or two of my life, I always (perhaps slightly guiltily) enjoyed the music, but never realised how much jazz there was in it. My Favourite Things is, for me, the highlight of that film and has become a standard ever since, recorded by many jazz greats, and otherwise. Mark Murphy’s version, though, is the one for me. What a voice! Smooth like butter baby, and always reminds me of the weekly jam session of the same name that myself and Hugo Mendez used to run in the early 00s.
11) Bruce Forsyth - The Candyman
Those who don’t know me might find this a strange addition, but for those who do it’ll make complete sense. When Brucie passed away last summer it felt a bit like I’d lost a grandparent. I know that might sound ridiculous, but aside from him being a one-off entertainer, jazz lover, and all round legend, I also had something of a personal connection with him. Bruce grew up in North London, not a million miles away from where I did, somehow managed to support my football club (Arsenal) as well as our bitter rivals Tottenham (a lovely idea in theory) and also went to the same school as me (many years before I did, I hasten to add). In 1998, I was asked by a friend to DJ at Brucie’s Price is Right end of series party up at Yorkshire Television in Leeds. Apparently Bruce wanted some “latin rhythms”! I not only did the gig, but got to chat to the man himself and sit in the audience for the show where I witnessed his boundless energy, good nature and rare common touch. He definitely touched my life, even as much that his penchant for calling everyone “my love” has been taken on as a term of endearment by myself and my close group of school friends, and when he passed away I received dozens of messages asking if I was OK - quite surreal. I’m sure a lot of people felt like that about Brucie though, a man who was constantly in the corner of our living rooms for over seventy years, and, it should be noted, was a bloody good dancer and pianist as well as all-round entertainer. I played this song at the end of my set at the South London Soul Train the weekend after he died to 500 bemused twenty-somethings. Joyous.
12) Super George & The Super Band – Fantasy 


Something of a landmark year for me. I made my debut DJ trip to Japan and while out there picked up this sublime big band version of the Earth, Wind and Fire classic. I then went on my first tour of the U.S.A. and Canada, fostering lots of strong friendships I still have to this day, came back, quit my job of twelve years to DJ and run a record label full time, only to get caught up in the 7/7 bombings but thankfully come through unscathed - quite a year indeed.


Frank Sinatra - Drinking Water (Aqua de Beber)
My mum was a member of The Frank Sinatra Music Society when I was growing up. It’s pretty much all she played at home and I guess was a very safe introduction to jazz for me. Saying that, Sinatra’s voice has rarely been bettered, and this album with Jobim and Deodato on production duties provided a gentle gateway into Brazilian music for me too.

Nina Simone – Baltimore
Another gateway record, this time into reggae and dub. I came into those genres much later in life, largely through signing dub outfit Resonators to Wah Wah 45s. Nina Simone is probably my favourite female voice of all, and this diversion into the world of reggae for her is part of an album of hits and misses into other musical territories for her. Lucky this is one of the former, and provided me with a platform to go and dig deeper into the world of real reggae, dub and roots music, which I’ve been doing ever since.

15). Madness - Take It or Leave It
My first favourite band - I got into Madness in the late 70s when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Again for me it was catchy pop music, but their ska, dub and even soul influences are evidently abundant looking back all these years on. This song certainly wouldn’t have been one of my favourites at the time (I was more of a Baggy Trousers kinda guy) but I really appreciate it now as a soulful, melancholic pop-ska gem.
16) Herbert - The Audience
My favourite house-not-house record for sure, and a deeply emotional masterpiece from Matthew Herbert and the amazing Dani Siciliano on vocals. I’ve never really heard anything like this before or since - a very special record that was something of a love song for me in the early 00s.
17) Joni Mitchell - Edith & the Kingpin
Joni comes a close second place to Nina in the vocal rankings for me. Hissing of the Summer Lawns is a magnificent and original LP and this story of Edith is something of a proto-feminist anthem to my ears. It’s a tune that sparks bittersweet feelings every time I hear it.
18) Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Winter in America
Talking of vocal rankings, this guy is my number one fella. No one comes close to Gilbert. This recording with long standing collaborator Brian Jackson is still as relevant today as it was back in 1974, perhaps even more so. It’s not hard to imagine what Gil would have made of the Trump presidency, had he lived to see it unfold, or what he would have been writing about right now. Winter in America, like much of Heron’s music, transcends time and space and shows us that ultimately things haven’t really changed that much, and that revolutionary wordsmiths like him are needed today just as much as they ever were!
19) Penny Goodwin - Too Soon You're Old
A song I’m definitely feeling more and more these days. I believe I first heard Patrick Forge play this on Kiss in the very early 90s, and it’s one that resonates more and more as the years quickly slide by - a lesson for us all by the wonderful voice that is Penny Goodwin.
20) Santana - Light of Life
This was a song, along with Jonny Hammond’s Can’t We Smile, that I had on a mix-tape I was given by someone I knew briefly in about 1993 and spent years trying to work out what it was. This was of course long before Shazam, Discogs and the internet in general, so it was something of a challenge. It was only when these resources became available that I found out that this haunting slice of soul/jazz was courtesy of Carlos Santana, and is possibly the highlight from his 1973 Welcome. I was also able to find out who was responsible for those lush vocals - none other than Leon Thomas, and more about him in a moment.
21) Richie Havens – Sugarplums
I have to thank Mr Sean McAuliffe for this one – ex-resident at Plastic People and a young man I had the pleasure to work and hang with at Soho record shop Release The Groove from time to time several years ago. Sean always had exquisite taste, and this almost meditative moment from Richie Havens now provides the perfect lullaby for my two-year-old son.
22) Chicago - Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home
Another band I discovered through my dad – initially via tracks like Hard To Say I’m Sorry, which I always remember him posting through the door on 7-inch single after an argument with my mum – but then later through Masters at Work sampling Street Player. This track, though, hits the spot for me, and sums up how I feel these days even after the best club session has come to an end.
23) Leon Thomas - Shape Your Mind To Die
I had to finish with this one - perhaps a bit morbid, but it comes to us all and we better be ready. This Leon Thomas joint was a bit floor filler for me in the 90s and still does it for me today. It’s quite a dark record to play in a club with its spooky piano intro, off-kilter violins, Middle-Eastern percussion and Leon’s haunting yodelling (necessitated when he fell down a flight of stairs and lost his front teeth!) but it’s one that leaves me with goose-bumps every time, and hopefully that’s how it’ll leave you at the end of this musical journey.]]></description>

As co-owner of the Wah Wah 45s record label, and resident DJ at their club and live events, as well as being an internationally respected turntablist, Dom knows not only how to rock a party, but also has the knack for finding an exciting new artist or two. Dom has been responsible for signing Honeyfeet, Hackney Colliery Band, The Milk, Dele Sosimi, Resonators and many more.
Dom is also an experienced music journalist, and was singles editor for jazz bible Straight No Chaser from 2003, then its offshoot Shook, followed by his own double-spread in the black music monthly, Echoes magazine, and now writes regularly for the highly respected Bandcamp website as well as the resurgent SNC, back after a long hiatus.
As a radio DJ, Dom hosts his own monthly radio show on both Soho and Netil Radio, as well as a Wah Wah Radio show with label partner Adam Scrimshire. Both the latter and Dom’s previous weekly show on Back2Back FM have been shortlisted in the Mixcloud Awards, and the Wah Wah Radio Show won Best International Funk & Soul Radio Show 2014.
Dom was also recently ranked by FACT Magazine as number 7 in the Top
100 Most Underrated DJs on the planet!
Over the past two and a half decades Dom has played across the globe, from touring Japan, North America and Australia, to regular gigs in Europe. UK gigs have included residencies with Gilles Peterson as well as currently the famous South London Soul Train, Oval Space and weekly Fridays at The Jazz Café. Dom is a festival regular and has played The Big Chill, Soundwave Croatia, Lovebox, and Bestival to name but a few, and every year DJs and hosts the Southern Soul Festival (which he co-founded) in Montenegro. 
His energetic and open-minded mix of anything soulful, be it afro-beat, jazz, house or hip hop, make him a club favourite.

1) Donald Byrd – Elijah
In my late teens and early 20s I was living in Brighton whilst studying. I somehow found myself in the legendary Jazz Rooms (ironically only one room) most weekends. There I listened to Rob Luis play at his early Huggies’ Disco club night; Norman Cook playing soul and disco before he became a Fatboy; and Russ Dewbury spinning latin and club-jazz at the Jazz Rooms night. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this masterpiece of foot friendly, soulful spiritual jazz – it opened my mind to what could be played on a dance floor and changed my record buying habits right there and then.
2) Young Disciples - All I Have In Me (Original Musiquarium Mix)
The 90s was the decade when all of my musical influences (both realised and subliminal) came together, and Gilles Peterson was a hugely important influence in that. His seminal imprint, Talkin’ Loud, was easily my favourite label at that time. I was a fan boy – I still am – and looking back, the Young Disciples Road To Freedom album is easily one of the most important releases in British black music, period. This extended, string filled remix of one of the album highlights is an evergreen alternative club banger for me, and Demus (AKA Dilip Harris) is without a doubt one of the most talented and unsung producers to work in this country in the last thirty years.
3) Wham! - Everything She Wants
Ah, George. What a loss. What a songwriter, what a voice and what a man - soul boy, pop star and warrior for social justice. He was my hero before I even realised he was most of these things. Wham! took over from Madness as my favourite ‘band’ of the 80s. For me it was catchy pop music, but, as is often the case, it’s only when we look back on this music with a more developed palate that we realise its true influences. Wham! were steeped in soul, and this song, for me, is their finest moment. It still sounds good in a disco.
4) Sade – Paradise
When I moved out of my grandparents’ house in the early 80s, Sade moved in - possibly with Robert Elms (but I might be making that bit up to improve the story). I remember vaguely being into her music back then, but again as a child a lot of it passed me by. It’s only now that I have a huge passion for her output, and this song comes recommended for immediate transportation to the beach, should you ever need it!
5) A Tribe Called Quest - Luck of Lucien
There’s something very quasi-Brexit about listening to this song now. My personal favourite from most definitely my top hip hop outfit of all time. I remember the first time I heard Peoples Instinctive Travels.. (from which this is taken) and much the same as with the Donald Byrd record, it changed the way I thought about music, and as a fledgling DJ, the way I as trying to move dance floors. It also combines a wry sense of humour with what is a very funky little hip hop record. That Billy Brooks sample! Oooof!
6) Young-Holt Unlimited - Wah Wah Man
In ’99 Hospital Records boss Chris Goss and his brother Simon asked me to join them as a resident at their weekly Friday night Wah Wah club session at The Jazz Café in Camden Town. It took me about one second to answer that question and a year later I joined their record label too. I soon went from having no siblings to two ready-made brothers in music, and I have to dedicate this song to Simon, who we sadly lost to lung cancer in 2010 and miss dreadfully every single day.
7) Weldon Irvine - Music Is The Key
Just a beautiful moment where my two great musical loves – soul and jazz – meet to create something truly special, and with a message that means so much to me. I’ve become something of a musical obsessive (especially in recent years) and even though family and friends have taken centre stage in my life (especially since becoming a husband and father!) I still believe that music is the key!
8) Steely Dan – Aja
Best album of all time. There, I’ve said it. I could have picked any track from this album really (although maybe not Peg) but seeing as it’s a regular on Dusk Dubs and Scrimshire picked my other favourite from the album, Deacon Blues, I had to go for the title track. Steely Dan remind me of my late father. Without me really realising it, he set my taste in “blue-eyed soul” from an early age. Billy Joel, Chicago, The Doobies and Gerry Rafferty were regulars on our home hi-fi, although it was Steely Dan that I came back to with a vengeance in later life. In the late 90s I moved into a flat with my mate Rob, a Dan obsessive, in Highgate, North London. His encyclopaedic knowledge of Becker and Fagan fuelled the fire for me and I’ve been a Dan nerd ever since.
9) Rufus & Chaka Khan – Destiny
I became a teenager the year I Feel For You came out. Chaka hit number one with that song and I immediately fell in love with her and her voice. Once again, I spent most of the 90s discovering her much better back catalogue, especially the music she recorded with her band, Rufus. I think it was Gilles I first heard play Destiny and I’m pretty sure it made me cry with its tender, soul/jazz aesthetic, those keys and that voice soaring sweetly in between.
10) Mark Murphy - My Favourite Things
I went to drama school in the late 70s and early 80s. I was a bit of a stage struck child, and even made an advert and featured in a couple of episodes of Grange Hill! What I did do a lot of though, was act in musicals. Having seen The Sound of Music at least every Christmas for the first decade or two of my life, I always (perhaps slightly guiltily) enjoyed the music, but never realised how much jazz there was in it. My Favourite Things is, for me, the highlight of that film and has become a standard ever since, recorded by many jazz greats, and otherwise. Mark Murphy’s version, though, is the one for me. What a voice! Smooth like butter baby, and always reminds me of the weekly jam session of the same name that myself and Hugo Mendez used to run in the early 00s.
11) Bruce Forsyth - The Candyman
Those who don’t know me might find this a strange addition, but for those who do it’ll make complete sense. When Brucie passed away last summer it felt a bit like I’d lost a grandparent. I know that might sound ridiculous, but aside from him being a one-off entertainer, jazz lover, and all round legend, I also had something of a personal connection with him. Bruce grew up in North London, not a million miles away from where I did, somehow managed to support my football club (Arsenal) as well as our bitter rivals Tottenham (a lovely idea in theory) and also went to the same school as me (many years before I did, I hasten to add). In 1998, I was asked by a friend to DJ at Brucie’s Price is Right end of series party up at Yorkshire Television in Leeds. Apparently Bruce wanted some “latin rhythms”! I not only did the gig, but got to chat to the man himself and sit in the audience for the show where I witnessed his boundless energy, good nature and rare common touch. He definitely touched my life, even as much that his penchant for calling everyone “my love” has been taken on as a term of endearment by myself and my close group of school friends, and when he passed away I received dozens of messages asking if I was OK - quite surreal. I’m sure a lot of people felt like that about Brucie though, a man who was constantly in the corner of our living rooms for over seventy years, and, it should be noted, was a bloody good dancer and pianist as well as all-round entertainer. I played this song at the end of my set at the South London Soul Train the weekend after he died to 500 bemused twenty-somethings. Joyous.
12) Super George & The Super Band – Fantasy 


Something of a landmark year for me. I made my debut DJ trip to Japan and while out there picked up this sublime big band version of the Earth, Wind and Fire classic. I then went on my first tour of the U.S.A. and Canada, fostering lots of strong friendships I still have to this day, came back, quit my job of twelve years to DJ and run a record label full time, only to get caught up in the 7/7 bombings but thankfully come through unscathed - quite a year indeed.


Frank Sinatra - Drinking Water (Aqua de Beber)
My mum was a member of The Frank Sinatra Music Society when I was growing up. It’s pretty much all she played at home and I guess was a very safe introduction to jazz for me. Saying that, Sinatra’s voice has rarely been bettered, and this album with Jobim and Deodato on production duties provided a gentle gateway into Brazilian music for me too.

Nina Simone – Baltimore
Another gateway record, this time into reggae and dub. I came into those genres much later in life, largely through signing dub outfit Resonators to Wah Wah 45s. Nina Simone is probably my favourite female voice of all, and this diversion into the world of reggae for her is part of an album of hits and misses into other musical territories for her. Lucky this is one of the former, and provided me with a platform to go and dig deeper into the world of real reggae, dub and roots music, which I’ve been doing ever since.

15). Madness - Take It or Leave It
My first favourite band - I got into Madness in the late 70s when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Again for me it was catchy pop music, but their ska, dub and even soul influences are evidently abundant looking back all these years on. This song certainly wouldn’t have been one of my favourites at the time (I was more of a Baggy Trousers kinda guy) but I really appreciate it now as a soulful, melancholic pop-ska gem.
16) Herbert - The Audience
My favourite house-not-house record for sure, and a deeply emotional masterpiece from Matthew Herbert and the amazing Dani Siciliano on vocals. I’ve never really heard anything like this before or since - a very special record that was something of a love song for me in the early 00s.
17) Joni Mitchell - Edith & the Kingpin
Joni comes a close second place to Nina in the vocal rankings for me. Hissing of the Summer Lawns is a magnificent and original LP and this story of Edith is something of a proto-feminist anthem to my ears. It’s a tune that sparks bittersweet feelings every time I hear it.
18) Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Winter in America
Talking of vocal rankings, this guy is my number one fella. No one comes close to Gilbert. This recording with long standing collaborator Brian Jackson is still as relevant today as it was back in 1974, perhaps even more so. It’s not hard to imagine what Gil would have made of the Trump presidency, had he lived to see it unfold, or what he would have been writing about right now. Winter in America, like much of Heron’s music, transcends time and space and shows us that ultimately things haven’t really changed that much, and that revolutionary wordsmiths like him are needed today just as much as they ever were!
19) Penny Goodwin - Too Soon You're Old
A song I’m definitely feeling more and more these days. I believe I first heard Patrick Forge play this on Kiss in the very early 90s, and it’s one that resonates more and more as the years quickly slide by - a lesson for us all by the wonderful voice that is Penny Goodwin.
20) Santana - Light of Life
This was a song, along with Jonny Hammond’s Can’t We Smile, that I had on a mix-tape I was given by someone I knew briefly in about 1993 and spent years trying to work out what it was. This was of course long before Shazam, Discogs and the internet in general, so it was something of a challenge. It was only when these resources became available that I found out that this haunting slice of soul/jazz was courtesy of Carlos Santana, and is possibly the highlight from his 1973 Welcome. I was also able to find out who was responsible for those lush vocals - none other than Leon Thomas, and more about him in a moment.
21) Richie Havens – Sugarplums
I have to thank Mr Sean McAuliffe for this one – ex-resident at Plastic People and a young man I had the pleasure to work and hang with at Soho record shop Release The Groove from time to time several years ago. Sean always had exquisite taste, and this almost meditative moment from Richie Havens now provides the perfect lullaby for my two-year-old son.
22) Chicago - Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home
Another band I discovered through my dad – initially via tracks like Hard To Say I’m Sorry, which I always remember him posting through the door on 7-inch single after an argument with my mum – but then later through Masters at Work sampling Street Player. This track, though, hits the spot for me, and sums up how I feel these days even after the best club session has come to an end.
23) Leon Thomas - Shape Your Mind To Die
I had to finish with this one - perhaps a bit morbid, but it comes to us all and we better be ready. This Leon Thomas joint was a bit floor filler for me in the 90s and still does it for me today. It’s quite a dark record to play in a club with its spooky piano intro, off-kilter violins, Middle-Eastern percussion and Leon’s haunting yodelling (necessitated when he fell down a flight of stairs and lost his front teeth!) but it’s one that leaves me with goose-bumps every time, and hopefully that’s how it’ll leave you at the end of this musical journey.]]></itunes:summary>

LTJ Buken and MC Conrad. What a combination. One of my most memorable club nights was at the End with them two.
20) Floating Points – Marilyn [Eglo] 2011
Sam Shephards productions are always a go to. This one has vibes.
21) Cyclonix – Gift of a Patient Soul [Disconnected]
The title track off my first EP. You can still find this out there pop pickers!
22) Lanark Artefax – Touch Absense [Whities] 2017
Something recent to finish with. Deep, weird, leftfield, and glitchy.]]></itunes:summary>

Tracklisting
1) Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild, one of the first songs I heard my mother playing on the record player, I remember playing along with the drummer with drum sticks on the carpet floor...
2) James Brown - Hot Pants, One of the first 2 45's I bought as a kid, influenced by funk music and many years later I met James Brown face to face in an elevator in 1984...
3) The 2nd 45 Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, and many years later in 1986 for 2 decades I started touring and working for Gil.... the most important job I have held in the music industry...
4) 1973 Herbie Hancock - Chameleon, I was fascinated with electronic jazz and sythnesizers and hypnotized by that bass line. Taught myself to play Chameleon on the piano and became obsessed with electronic jazz / fusion...
5) The Ohio Players - Funky Worm, a fantastic novelty record.. inspired by funk and a funky granny on vocals.
6) The Ohio PLayers - Skin Tight, a blend of jazzy funk and those electric keyboards played by Junie Morrison who I would meet in London in later years...
7) Parliament - Chocolate City,  I was gravitating to funk music and it's deep bass driven grooves...
8) The Commodores - Machine Gun, an instrumental song filled with electronic keyboards and synthesizers right up my alley to further fuel me into playing keyboards....
9) The Barkays - Holy Ghost, A very rhythmic funk song with a heavy synth funky bass dominating this song...
10) Heart - Magic Man, moving to Ohio where rock music was king, and I gravitated to the funky rock with electronic keyboards in them...
11) Steve Miller - Fly Like An Eagle, another rock synth electronic keyboard driven song...
12) Johnny Guitar Watson - Real Mother For Ya, Still into my funk, this funk jazzy styled piece had the deep synth bass and funky drums with the funky guitar riffs but based on jazz music....
13) George Duke - Reach For It, modelled off Bootsy's Rubber Band styled funk again based firmly in jazz....
14) Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove, funk had taken over main stream music in America's urban black neighbourhoods and entered the pop charts...
15) Vaughan Mason - Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll, a powerful funk jam dedicated to roller skating and getting down this influenced me to no end, and again I would meet Vaughan Mason... write some songs for him and eventually collaborate on Raze's 'Break 4 Love'...
16) Chic - Everybody Dance, disco had taken over in the 80's, but Chic had made disco funky still with Nile Rodgers funky guitar riffs and Benard Edwards funky bass my fave disco band and allowed me to be into disco...
17) The SOS Band - Just Be Good To Me, a land mark song for me. I'm a big Jimmy Jamm and Terry Lewis fan and emulated there style, and again keyboards were the basis of there groove....
18) Prince - Let's Work,  The Minniapolis funk personified and another big influence to my music career, Prince's keyboard style funky bass and drumming said it all.... a genius....
19) Chaka Khan - I Feel For You, written by Prince and made a massive hit featuring Chaka's brilliant vocals alongside Melle Mel and Stevie Wonder, who can be heard on the harmonica. One of my all time favorite songs.]]></description>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Alex Nino
Title: DD0508
Style: house, soul, jungle
Time: 80 minutes
Date: 2018-05-20
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we welcome Alex Nino to the Dusk Dubs family.
"I've been a life long music obsessive / collector. I pestered my folks for a keyboard and a decent stereo with a turntable before my 11th birthday. I discovered pirate radio shortly afterwards and went on to study sound engineering at college in 1995. My main preference has always been towards dance and electronic music and I think the selection here shows that.
I've tried really hard not to go for anything obscure simply for obscurity's sake, and likewise to not be discouraged from including anything I think is great, just because of its popularity or critical acclaim. I think there's a good mix of tempos, eras, genres, and that hopefully all of these combine to give the listener a good idea of what I'm about, musically. I'm not a huge vinyl snob but all of these are vinyl recordings, it just happened that way....
Thanks to men like Andrea Nibbers, both the Daves [Nucleus and Trax] and Michael Errity [Flatliner] for introducing me to Dusk Dubs". [Alex Nino]
Tracklisting
1) Hugh Mundell - Going Places -This tune seemed to follow me around for a while, didn't know who it was but loved the lo-fi-ness of it and the production absolutely has classic dub stamped all over it. Glad I tracked it down with some help from fellow music lovers online.
2) Carroll Thompson - Smiling In The Morning - One that I just picked up at random and got to like a lot, there's a very warm Caribbean flavour coming off of it, makes me feel like going on a nice holiday somewhere tropical!
3) Talvin Singh - Traveller - I almost didn't include this as it's quite well known, after all he won the Mercury Music Prize in 1999 for this LP. I really think it's an amazing piece of work, the strings section is breathtaking. Cleveland Watkiss is credited on this too, which is always a bonus.
4) Flytronix - Birth Of The Cool - I bought this on the strength of Moving Shadow as a label, absolutely untouchable in the early and mid 90s for the hardcore and jungle output. Wasn't expecting this! TC Izlam was a cracking lyricist, RIP.
5) Instra:Mental - Futurist - I'm a big fan of Instra:Mental and the whole 'Autonomic' style that developed out of the more experimental drum and bass. D - Bridge's Exit Records shifted drum and bass intro truly cinematic territory and into the realms where not just 'ravers' were into it, it transcended the nightclub scene I suppose and became more serious.
6) D - Bridge - Let That Shit Ride - 1995 was a great year for jungle, as anyone who's been into the scene long enough would tell you. I've always loved how this one's quite simple in vibe but so perfectly executed.
7) Trevino - Backtracking - As a longtime fan of Marcus Intalex I don't think I could choose a playlist without including something of his. He's more well known for his drum and bass, but I think his techno stuff as Trevino still has his signature. Melodic and beautiful. RIP Marcus. I've seen a dancefloor full of folks get their lighters out and hold a vigil for him, the same day we learned of his death, and that memory makes me very very lucky to have been there.
8) Red Snapper - Bussing - I bought everything I ever saw by Red Snapper, and choosing which track to have here was really really hard. Instrumental hip hop to die for, luscious.
9) Jeffrey Darnell - Living On The Edge - This featured on a Talkin' Loud CD I stumbled across in a charity shop, and I had to have it. I love the floaty atmosphere of the tune and the sunshiney vibe, can make the most grey day better instantly.
10) Rhyming In Fives - Mnemonic - I had to include something from Narratives Music on here. Their quality control is outrageous. This is from the 'Light Leaks' EP and I think it's beautiful.
11) Hidden Turn - Nothing - Hidden Turn makes music that is at once organic, warm, surprising and very different. He's a Manchester man living and working in Brazil and his music always captures something ethnic. I think he's very very talented and he is so far the ONLY artist to have had an LP release on Doc Scott's label, 31.
12) Big Bud - Faceless - A longtime favourite of mine, this 12 has 'New Vision' on the other side and is really one I can never tire of. Expert - level atmospherics throughout.
13) Danny Breaks - Beat Biter [Matian Instrumental] - Danny Breaks aka Son'z Of A loop da Loop Era came through from Essex in the early 90s with hardcore, developed as an artist through jungle and breakbeaty drum and bass, but I like his instrumental hip - hop output best. His 'Droppin Science' releases are great too! ]]></description>

Tracklisting
1) Fun Boy Three – Faith, Hope & Charity (Nappa Edit)­
The first 45 I bought because of The Lunantics... on the flip, this version is a little Nappa edit for Muj.
2) Kraftwerk – It’s More Fun To Compute
Kraftwerk what's more to say?
3) Cybotron – Clear
Fantastic early electro from the pioneering Cybotron still sounds fresh today 35 years on!!
4) G.L.O.B.E. & Whiz Kid – Play That Beat Mr. DJ.
Taken from one of my favourite LPs "Tommy Boy's Greatest Beats" the whole LP brings back great memories of trying to break dance on a bit of card board in a mates front room.
5) Tuff Lille Unit – Join The Future
From the best bleep label ever... many favourites... this is one of them. I loved mixing for hours in my parents loft back when I had no mortgage.
6) Forgemasters – Track With No Name
More Warp... classic from 89 related to above!
7) Ability II – Pressure Dub
Deep, Epic, Bassy Black Beauty
8) The Wizard And The Prince – The Wizard Is A Genius
Quirky, raw, triply bleeps reminds me of the Dungeons. Mixes well with 07
9) Justice – Aquisse
Long time friend, mentor and collaborator Justice's finest.
10) A Tribe Called Quest – If The Papes Come
Hip hop like electro played/plays a big part none more so than ATCQ especially for the love of Jazz sampling.
11) Soho – Hot Music
This is a kind of cross over tune for me I had forgotten about until recently when out in London with Justice. Again bought back memories of Jazz dancing with him and DJ Windmill in Luton in the early 90's. Mixture of house, hip hop, jazz funk with a great 3 second jazz piano sample from Wynton Marsalis.
12) Marvin Gaye – T Plays It Cool
Just a great funky loop from Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" this is a bootleg 12" version.
13) Booker T And The MG’s - Melting Pot
I think i probably first heard this whilst collecting glasses maybe the late 80's reissue but what a tune and lp from the same name.
14) Herbie Hancock – Fat Mama
Had to get a bit of Herbie in... so many...
15) Blue Mitchell – The Message
Picked this up last year in Oxfam which was a bit of a surprise. No sleeve but its all about the music. This version of Cymandes "The Message" is the one!!!
16) Johnny Hammond – Star Bone
Could pick any tune from this lp (Gambler's Life) and Justice beat me to back to the projects. Love Johnny Hammond and Mizells with the longest fade in history i think.
17) Esther Philips – Home Is Where The Hatred Is
Esther Philips From A Whisper To A Scream LP bought to my attention many moons ago by an old friend... top track from it.
18) Dorothy Ashby – Soul Vibrations
Would love to own more Dorothy Ashby.
19) The Crusaders – A Ballad for Joe (Louis)
All time favourite go to jazz album The Crusaders "Southern Comfort". Perfect on a sunny Sunday!!
20) Dave Brubeck – Calcutta Blues
Who doesn't like a bit of Brubeck? Perfect ending.
Big Love

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we welcome back Andy Hickford to the Dusk Dubs family, who provides a timely and wonderful celebration of all things "Beastie Boys" marking the anniversary of MCA aka Adam Yauch's untimely passing.
"Pretty much everyone over a certain age will know the Beastie Boys. From the perspective of someone who grew up in a midlands market town in the 80's their introduction was as brattish bad boys who horrified my teachers with their punk attitude and penchant for automobile badges. For many that is the image that stuck for a long time. Their punk rock roots, which they revisited musically, however disguised the fact that they would be a hugely influential, creative, thoughtful and skilled band for years to come.
Over the years the Beastie evolved from those 3 bugged out dudes (thanks Grandmaster Flash) into hip hop legends, not to mention a pretty tight funk and or rock band too. They also became a hugely visual as well as musical concern. Their peak period came before Social Media had really invaded our every waking moment and as such what you knew about them (as well as most other bands) was limited to what they showed you. The Beasties excelled at creating their world through their music videos, album covers, record labels, clothing, action figures etc... MCA was central to a lot of this.
As a band they were curators as well as creators, whether combining samples, photos, film, or indeed fellow artists; they would produce work that was often greater than the sum of its parts. Before Twitter, Snap Chat etc... they would convey a message, a thought, a belief, fun, funk, great ideas, artistic sentiment in a much simpler form - a 12" square of cardboard with a bit of black plastic inside. The image on that bit of cardboard alone would often be enough to get you to pay attention. Whether working with the graffiti artists Haze or Cey Adams, the photographers Ricky Powell or Bruce Dickenson or the artists Billions McMillions aka Bill McMullen or Alex Grey they would use visuals to draw you in. However they really took off when you slipped that black wax disc out of its sleeve, put in on the turntable and dropped the needle..." [ANDY]

1) Sabotage Intro with Chuck D & Grandmaster Flash - I wanted to find a way to introduce the BB's without being too intense, before pulling this selection together I watched a few you tube videos, read some interviews etc... just trying to immerse myself in their work/world for a bit. One of the films I found was a short doc on the B-Boys and in part of it they had both Chuck D and Flash talking about their importance to hip hop, but also rock. When they first hit the scene I was at school and I can recall the mass horror at these brats encouraging innocent youth to steal VW badges and play their music loud. Therefore it seemed to make sense to start out with a bit of a boisterous start... some cheeky B-Boys behaviour and a blast of Sabotage...
2) Beastie Boys - 3 MC's and 1 DJ (Live Video Version) The B-Boys have always been about far more than just the 3 of them - though clearly MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D are the pivots - they always acted as something of a collective. As such Mixmaster Mike needed a mention too - so what better way to start the selection proper than with a track referencing the importance of the DJ to the MC(s). Of course beyind Mixmaster Mike there were also important contributions from many others along the way - Hurra, Money Mark, Mario C etc... not to mention the artists and filmmakers they also worked with.
3) Blues Project - Flute Thing - The main theme for this selection is the original music that the Beasties took and made their own. So the first sample track is this - which needs no explanation, it is of course used in Flute Loop on the Ill Communication album.
4) Rose Royce - 6 O'clock DJ - More samples, with a few coming from the Rose Royce 'Car Wash' soundtrack. I'll admit to not checking this OST for a while being put of by the pop-disco of the main theme, however I was so wrong. This double LP contains killer funk - not least this track as sampled on Shake Your Rump from Pauls Boutique.
5) Tower Of Power - Ebony Jam - Big funk tune this, of course sampled by De La Soul as well as the Beasties who used it (amongst many other tracks) on B-Boy Bouillabaisse), again on Pauls Boutique.
6) Rose Royce - Born To Love Ya - Another Car Wash tune and another killer tune - again used on Shake Your Rump. 
7) Ask For Janice Interlude - Had to include this interlude - I wonder how many people did call?
8) Alphonse Mouzon - Funky Snakefoot - Huge jazz funk tune on Blue Note - but for better or worse you just cant hear this without wanting to switch to the Beasties - this is really how to use a sample - again used on Shake Your Rump. Which you just have to do to this really.
9) Big Daddy Kane & Biz Markie - Just Rhymin' With The Biz - There isn't actually a lot of hip hop in this selection, however what has been included is classic - you don't get much better than the Kane & the Biz - a big Cold Chillin' jam from back in the day. This stands as likely inspiration for the Beasties hip hop roots, but is also included as it was used in 'So Watcha Want' from Check Your Head.
10) Michael Viner Incredible Bongo Band - Last Bongo In Belgium - There needs to be a proper B-Boy Tune on a Beastie Boys tribute, so here is the break-tastic Last Bongo In Belgium, as used on Looking Down the Barrel - another Pauls Boutique track.
11) ESG - UFO - More classic block party action - the Beasties knew their old school classics when putting together their tracks and borrowed from the best. UFO was used on Putting Shame in Your Game as featured on the Hello Nasty album.
12) Beastie Boys - Intergalactic - Speaking of Hello Nasty - one of their best known tracks, the massive Intergalactic which of course sampled 'The New Style' from Licensed to Ill - as I say they sample from the best. And to complete the circle...
13) Stovall Sisters - Hang On In There - ...this massive soul-funk tune from the wonderful Staple Sisters that the Beastie sampled on 'Intergalactic'.
14) Rev Eugene McDaniel's - Headless Heroes of The Apocalypse - I'd recommend this album to anyone, a superb collection of jazz/soul/funk with edge from the Rev (who of course wrote the timeless 'Feel Like Making Love'. This is included here as the Beasties used it on Get It Together - one of the singles from Ill Communication.
15) Beastie Boys Interview Interlude - As mentioned earlier I spent a little time watching a few interviews before putting this together and this exchange stuck out - talking about License To Ill, this captures the Beasties in playful form - but you can't escape the fact that they knew their stuff too.
16) Beastie Boys - Jimmy James (Original Mix) - Not one of their biggest tunes, but one of my favourites. I love this version from a bootleg 12" (my copy is anyway) just heavy funk, showing these boys can jam as well as rap.

Ronnie Laws - Tell Me Something Good - Back to the samples with this lovely jazz-funk tune, and yet another Shake Your Rump ingredient.

18) Jeremy Stieg - Howlin' For Judy - Chuck D said - You gotta know Blue Note to dig Def Jam and the Beasties certainly did know their jazz. Taking inspiration from the likes of Ronnie Laws, Mouzon, Jimmy Smith etc... they obviously knew their Verve, CTI, Capital etc... too. This is unmistakeable as the sample used in Sure Shot - another tune that will never fail when dropped - classic Beasties from Ill Communication.
19) Village Callers - Hector - a latin/jazz/funk tune that the Beasties used on Blue Nun from Check Your Head.
20) Beastie Boys - Ch-Check It Out (Acapella chorus)
21) Peggy Lee - (Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay) - Ch-Ch-Check It Out is another of the Beasties better known tunes - this one from the Five Boroughs album and takes heavily from the Peggy Lee break.
22) Jimmy Smith - Root Down - This is just a great tune, Jimmy Smith is the king of the Hammond and has a wealth of superb material, that has been widely drawn from by the Hip Hop community. This slice of jazz funk demonstrates yet again the Beasties knack for how to ride a riff. Used on their own 'Root Down' this is one where I just can't decide whether I prefer the original or the B-Boy version...
23) Rose Royce - Daddy Rich - One last tune from Car Wash, Daddy Rich was used on 33% God on Pauls Boutique. If you aren't convinced yet - this should swing it - head out to your local charity shops/car boots and seek the Car Wash OST.
24) Beastie Boys - B-Boys in The Cut - This was on a bonus 7" on the Beasties last album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, so it seemd good to start to wrap up the selection with one of their last tunes.
25) Eric Sermon Tribute to MCA Interlude - As we all know MCA passed away 6 years ago, his band mates deciding that the Beasties could not continue without him, a respectful decision that I feel preserves the legacy of the band. Just before wrapping things up, words from Eric Sermon on the enduring influence of the Beasties and a nod to their status as one of the all time hip hop greats.
26) Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right - However things can end without a final rousing anthem. The Beasties Boys were too full of live, ideas, passion and great music to end a tribute to them on a sombre note. So what else could the selection finish with - a call to arms for all music lovers.
RIP Adam Yauch / MCA / Nathanial Hornblower. Musician, Rapper, Songwriter, Artist, Pacifist, Film-maker, Feminist, Campaigner, Legend. August 5th 1964-May 4th 2012

This week we invite accomplished collector, DJ and musicologist Mark 'Good Vibes' Taylor to the Dusk Dubs family. Mark is the man behind Blue Brazil 3 on Blue Note and the Americana compilations on BBE. He currently runs a  session three tijmes a year in London called Reference Point at Three Kings, Clerkenwell, and you can also find him at Spiritland & Merchants Tavern, London every quarter.
"Having begun like most school kids following pop music at the start of the 70’s a few years later I discovered Northern Soul at the age of thirteen after seeing a few of the older boys dancing to it at my local youth club. Followed the Northern scene until the age of 17 when I moved over to the disco/jazz-funk scene, and then over the decades since expanded into collecting pretty much anything that floats my boat musically!
The songs I’ve selected are a mixture of tunes that are part of my early teenage years of musical discovery, and then on through the decades the various other musical styles I came across and became engrossed in. A few tracks in the selection are fresh finds I picked up from a recent California trip. This is also some of the sort of music you’ll hear played at a monthly event I run in London called ‘Reference Point’. Hope you enjoy the varied selection… " [Mark]

Tracklisting
1) HIROSHI SATO - AWAKENING
Short track with piano, synth, and ocean waves to start things of with from one of my favourite Japanese artist (J-Pop supremo Sato san).
2) MFSB - MY MOOD
This was the one track as a 15 year old teenager that really started the whole thing off for me of often digging the more mellow grooves on an LP, instead of the up tempo track I might have originally purchased the album for in the first place.
3) BARBARA STREISAND - LAZY AFTERNOON
Always curios to check this album out, seen as it was produced by Rupert Holmes the Anglo- American artist of AOR fame early on in his career. I picked up a copy a couple of months back for a $1.00 on a California road trip, and discovered this lush orchestral beauty with Babs as always on fine form vocally.
4) RUPERT HOLMES - GUITAR
One of my favourite AOR artists, Holmes lived in England as a boy (British mother & American father) before moving to the States. He has a typical British sense of humour to his lyrics that often tell a full story, and are witty and charming at the same time! Also a successful author and playwright in his own right, talented chap our Rupert…
5) VANGELIS - I HEAR YOU NOW
Remember back in 79’ I would be in the upstairs room of a local pub playing pool with my friends, and in the corner was a jukebox. By this time in my life on weekends I was always travelling out of town to attend Disco/Jazz-Funk events around the country. I did still keep an eye on the pop charts though and when this song came out I would always play it on the jukebox while playing a game of pool, alongside the Rupert Holmes : Escape (Pina Colada Song). Guilty pleasures back then for a dedicated soul, jazz-funk boy indeed!
6) MICKY’S MOUTH - LET’S GET TOGETHER
Mickio Masuda fusion album from 76’ that contains a couple of killer mellow tripped out tunes. I picked this up as a trade with a Japanese record shop owner back around 96’who was in town to buy stock for his shop in Osaka.
7) IKE WHITE - ANTOINETTE
Purchased the Ike White album in the mid 90’s, as I’m sure most collector’s back then did for the 9:23 long soulful blues title track “Changin’ Times”, but then got two for the price of one with the exquisite atmospheric “Antoinette” track.
8) ALBERTO RADIUS - CALIFORNIA BLLL…
Italy has giving us some great music over the decades, and this beauty is no exception. Nice chugging bass and drums with Alberto’s unique vocal delivery. Always makes me think of summer and the Balearic vibe this one.
9) BRIAN BENNETT - IMAGE
I discovered around 94’ library music and fell madly in love with the genre. I’d already collected for some year’s soundtrack music, but was blown away by the whole mystery of these records that were never commercially released to the public, and were difficult to find pre internet days. The strings on this track are so lush and beautiful I am in admiration of these musicians who make this sort of music. For me they are the ultimate artists!
10) VINCENT GEMIGNANI - OPHIS LE SERPENTAIRE
Another album purchased for an up tempo groovy track I’d heard when a Japanese record shop buyer over in Europe in 96’ to buy stock played me this round my house. He’d picked it up from a dealer in Paris a few days before, and I quickly got on the phone to my contacts in Paris to secure a copy for myself. Then, as is often the case the mellow easy glide tune is the one I ended up playing much more. Quite probably my favourite French library music track from all the ones I have.
11) CONTRACTION - LE CHAT BRUINNE
I have a soft spot for any good French speaking music, and this next one hails from Canada.
Quebec group Contraction who on this 72’ release had a prog jazz vibe going on that contains a few great tracks, including this mellow beauty.
12) JAPAN - DESPAIR
In the early 80’s I took a left turn away from the disco / jazz-funk scene and for a couple of years was into the new romantic scene. My favourite band by far was Japan, who I was lucky enough to see a couple of times in concert back then. “Despair” comes from their ‘Quite Life’ album.
13) GRIMALDI ZEIHER - ENTRE CHIEN ET LOUP
French duo recorded this AOR beauty in L.A. with some of the cream of the city’s session musicians, guys like Jeff Porcaro, Victor Feldman, Abraham Laboriel, Wilton Felder, Larry Carlton. Mellow summer Californian AOR goodness with seductive French vocals.
14) NICK DE CARO - UNDER THE JAMAICAN MOON
More of the Californian west coast vibe, debut album from Nick released in 74’, who also produced the album alongside one of my favourite producers ever Tommy LiPuma.
15) ROBERT BYRNE - BLAME IT ON THE NIGHT
Possibly my favourite AOR album from the year 79’, full of well written songs, great musicianship and love Robert’s vocal voice.
16) GILBERTO GIL - FLORA.
I’m a big fan of Brazilian music and picking a couple of tracks for this mix was difficult, due to the richness and abundance of stuff to choose from. In the end I went for what I would say was my first real traditional Brazilian artist album purchase. I purchased this originally back in 83’ for the infectious uplifting track “Palco”, and up to this point I only had jazz fusion stuff from Brazil in my collection (Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Azymuth). From this point on I started searching out more music from Brazil to the point I started going to Rio to dig for records from 94’ onwards…
17) AZIMUTH - TEMA DE MARIA HELENA
My first ever purchase of a Brazilian band was the Milestone Records release of ‘Light As A Feather’ back in 79’. The track “Jazz Carnival” was such a monster hit on the disco / Jazz Funk scene back then. To this date they are still my favourite jazz band from Brazil, and I feel fortunate that I ended up becoming friends with the bass player Alex Malheiros and visiting his home outside Rio at the start of the 2000’s. I never would have expected that back in 79’s when I was jumping around on the dance floor to “Jazz Carnival”. This track selected is taken from the soundtrack album ‘O Fabuloso Fittipaldi’ released in 73’ from where they got their band name after one of the titled tracks composed by Marcos Valle.
18) ELIS REGINA & TOM JOBIM - AGUAS DE MARCO
Two of the biggest names in Brazilian music ever…
Elis the queen, and Tom the bossa nova king. Like most people I knew Tom Jobims music from my youth, but only later in life when I got into orchestrated stuff and more into Brazilian did I delve deeper. I love his work, even his naïve singing voice when he does sing on tracks. Elis Regina is regarded as the greatest female singer in Brazil, sadly she died too young from an overdose. Here together they do a Jobim evergreen classic “Waters of March”.
19) BURT BACHARACH - SOMETHING BIG
Burt is the man, and a musical giant in my book!
So many classic songs he composed together with Hal Davies on lyrics. Released on the A&M label who were right in the zone at the start of the 70’s for me. Keeping the bossa nova rhythm going, this track is taken from his ‘Living Together’ album.
20) PISANO & RUFF - THE DRIFTER
Another A&M release from the start of the 70’s written by a writer who epitomises the California sunshine pop sound, Roger Nichols. This is very much the trademark sound of A&M back in 1970.
21) LITTO NEBBIA - BITUCA.
As well as collecting Brazilian stuff, I also searched out other interesting South American music. I began buying around 95’ from a dealer in Buenos Aires mostly jazz stuff and sometimes the odd prog record as well. This is taken from the 76’ album release ‘Bazar De Los Milagros’.
22) VYTAS BRENNER - AVILA
Well known to prog collectors, Vytas Brenner hail from Venezuela. I first came across the band from the guy I was buying records from in Buenos Aires in the mid 90’s. Killer cosmic prog track…
23) LYLE MAYS - CLOSE TO HOME
Brilliant keyboard (Brazilian) player of the Pat Metheny Group.
This comes from his own album released in 86’, beautiful dreamy music.
24) TREVOR BASTOW (A.HOBSON) - MILLENIUM
U.K. Library, comes from the golden period of 1965 to 1985.
This one is released in 83’ on Music De Wolfe label.
25) MINAKO YOSHIDA - TORNADO
J-Pop coolness, with a head nodding slow groove.
26) STEPHEN BISHOP - A FOOL AT HEART
Californian born Bishop oozes that West Coast relaxed vibe on this easy glide AOR number from his second album release. He drafted in a few big names to help out on tracks like Michael McDonald, and on this particular track Chaka Khan on backing vocals giving it an extra bit of class.
27) MARC BENNO - FRANNY
A recent purchase on a California road trip made in October 2017, took a punt on this album as it had the likes of Bobby Womack, Nick De Caro, Rita Coolidge, Clarence White, Chuck Domanico playing on it in a shop, at $4.99 and it was a no brainer and I my hunch was right. Love it…
28) B.J. WARD - HERE WE ARE
American singer B.J. Ward recorded this album in Holland back at the start of the 1970’s. This rare Dutch only release has some wonderful arrangements and orchestration on it. A nice mellow track to end the selection.]]></description>

'I was honoured to of been invited back to the Dusk Dubs family to compile another mixtape quite some time ago now. Let's just say It took me a while, mainly due to my own indecisiveness when it came to producing a finalised tracklisting. There has been so much amazing music that I have kept close to my heart over the years which always gives me that very special feeling when i listen back to it again and again. That DuskDubs feeling. 
Following on from where my first Mixtape left of, this selection of tracks are ones which i have carried with me over the years from a melting pot of genres. Tracks that hold a combination of special memories with special people from my musical path gone by and from experiences on my World travels.
I hope you enjoy listening to this as much I did compiling it. Even if it did take me two years too long..." [Beatwell)​

Tracklisting
1) Terry Callier - Lazurus Man (1998)
Wow. What an opener. What an artist. I have loved Terry Callier for a long time.  So underrated. Timeless music. Speaking of Timeless. Goldie brought me here. 
2) Brian Bennett - Image (1974)
Majestic. A stand out track from the many majestic Library music tracks that were made and for the most part forgotten about. Until Library music's renaissance in recent years thanks to all the collectors and beat diggers.
3) Henry Mancini & His Orchestra - Slow Hot Wind (1975)
Another wow track. Sexy sultry and seductive movie music. Music to fall in love to. Always loved Lujon and this funked up Slow Hot Wind version is killer. From Mancini's 1975 album Symphonic Soul.  
4) Massive Attack - Weather Storm (1994)
Now this is serious mood music. Another sexy tune from one of my favourites from one of Britain's coolest cutting edge bands. Essential.
5) Lonnie Liston Smith - Island In The Sun (1985)
I could of picked a number of LOL tracks from a number of his albums. The man is quite simply a legend. No need to explain further. The title say's it all.
6) Kinobe - Hammock Island (2000)
A track from my Big Chill years when downtempo music ruled. A downtempo beauty from a beauty of an album. Keepin' things on a Desert lsland tip. Whatever happened to Kinobe?     
7) Blue States - Trainer Shuffle (2000)
Another slice of downtempo gold from the Big Chill era. I could of easily picked a few songs from this majestic album. Definitely one of my favourite downtempo albums of all time. 
8) The Karminsky Experience Inc - Exploration (2003)
A wonderful track from another wonderful album from a real golden age of lush cinematic music. The Karminsky boys can do no wrong for me and are still making amazing music today.     
9) Nuspirit Helsinki - Orson (2002)
Whatever happened to Nuspirit Helsinki?? They left the Nu Jazz world as quick as they entered it. Leaving behind a slack handful of killer singles and one world class album. Orson is a slick James Bond-esque piece of jazzy deepness. 
10) Men From The Nile - Watch Them Come (Jazzanova Remix) (1999)
WHAT. A. REMIX. Those Berlin boys Jazzanova hit UK Club Culture in the mid-late nineties via Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show and a mighty fine collection of singles and sublime remixes. This being one of them. Outstanding, utterly unique and music that led me away from my obsession with mid-nineties DnB and onto a more jazzier groovier path.  
11) Faze Action - Samba (1999)
All kinds of ace. A track that never fails to make me smile. Pure summertime on wax. I loved the Faze Action Brothers productions especially their Moving Cities album from '99. Reminds me of my hazy backpacking days. I saw them perform this album Live a few times too. The highlight being on the Jazz World Stage at Glasto in 2000. Sunny Sunday afternoon vibes fuelled by Red Stripe and Curried Goat ha.  
12) Nuyorican Soul - I am the Black Gold of the Sun (4 Hero Mix) (1997)
Another WOW tune and stone cold classic that transcends genres. From gospel summer soul into uplifting DnB in just a few short minutes. I've met many people say they don't like DnB yet love this. It really is that special and rarely leaves my bag, especially over the summer festival season. 4 Hero showing how to take an already amazing tune and lift it even higher.
13) Jodeci - Feenin' (LTJ Bukem Remix) (1995)
Anyone who knows me well enough knows how much i have a little penchant for a bit of Bukem. Especially early to mid nineties and this remix is a revelation and when Bukem could do no wrong. Deep soulful and rollin' just the way we like it.
14) John Martyn - Small Hours (1977)
Taking things down a notch for my last choice but crankin' up the feels to the max. I've been a big fan of the big man for many years now and this exquisite piece of music tops the lot. A controversial musical figure maybe. But a pioneer and total original. Who else could get away with getting high at 3am and recording a track as utterly awesome as this in one take. Not only that but outside, next to a lake near the main London to Bristol train route. Small hours ambience with Geese to boot! ]]></description>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls.

You can catch the brilliant 'Whats Wrong With Groovin' radio show every other Sunday on Brighton's 1BTN Radio Station between the hours of 2-4pm.
'I was honoured to of been invited back to the Dusk Dubs family to compile another mixtape quite some time ago now. Let's just say It took me a while, mainly due to my own indecisiveness when it came to producing a finalised tracklisting. There has been so much amazing music that I have kept close to my heart over the years which always gives me that very special feeling when i listen back to it again and again. That DuskDubs feeling. 
Following on from where my first Mixtape left of, this selection of tracks are ones which i have carried with me over the years from a melting pot of genres. Tracks that hold a combination of special memories with special people from my musical path gone by and from experiences on my World travels.
I hope you enjoy listening to this as much I did compiling it. Even if it did take me two years too long..." [Beatwell)​

Wow. What an opener. What an artist. I have loved Terry Callier for a long time.  So underrated. Timeless music. Speaking of Timeless. Goldie brought me here. 
2) Brian Bennett - Image (1974)
Majestic. A stand out track from the many majestic Library music tracks that were made and for the most part forgotten about. Until Library music's renaissance in recent years thanks to all the collectors and beat diggers.
3) Henry Mancini & His Orchestra - Slow Hot Wind (1975)
Another wow track. Sexy sultry and seductive movie music. Music to fall in love to. Always loved Lujon and this funked up Slow Hot Wind version is killer. From Mancini's 1975 album Symphonic Soul.  
4) Massive Attack - Weather Storm (1994)
Now this is serious mood music. Another sexy tune from one of my favourites from one of Britain's coolest cutting edge bands. Essential.

A track from my Big Chill years when downtempo music ruled. A downtempo beauty from a beauty of an album. Keepin' things on a Desert lsland tip. Whatever happened to Kinobe?

Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.

Music obsessed since 1976. Started to buy and collect albums when he was 12. He was 14 when he played the first time in a public place. Played music from records, tapes, cassettes. His eclectic mixes contain balearic, disco, house, ambient, jazz and rock.

Together with Andy Pye from Balearic Social, he has launched such successful mix series, like the Chilled Seasons and Back To Mine. He also provided guest mixes for other radio shows all around the Globe. Most recently, he played on the Psychedelic Discotech party in Carlton club Manchester.

2) Socrates With Vangelis O. Papathanassiou - Mountains (1976)
In 1975 Vangelis worked with the Greek rock band Socrates on their third album "Phos". Their cooperation with Vangelis lasts only for this one album, he is credited for producing the album, playing keyboards and percussion and also for composing one of the songs. Epic music!
3) Can - Don't Say No (1977)
One of my all time favourite band! This is an unusual track from the band. I love the groove!
4) Embryo - Radio Marrakesch & Orient-Express (1973)
One of the most important German jazz-rock bands during the 1970s.This is a brilliant fusion of progressive rock and jazz with some oriental flavour.

6) TCP - Twonga (1984)
Tony Carey Project’s the one and only ‘TCP‘ is a masterpiece. Since his departure from Rainbow in 1977, Carey devoted his keyboard and multi-instrumental skills to the exploration of untethered cosmic funk and experiential disco grounds. ‘Twonga‘, is a high-spirited Afro-funk ruffling of wailing synth vibratos, bouncy toms and acidulous bass fizzling out in an upbeat carnival of colours.
7) Bo Hansson - The Black Riders & Flight To The Ford (1970)
Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings is an instrumental progressive rock album by Swedish musician Bo Hansson. Love this track! It reminds me of Mike Oldfield’s early works a bit.
8) Lem - Robots In Heat (1977)
Very strange synth LP from 1977. Early minimal synth or what?! Some spacey disco influences here and there, but a great space synth LP with some amazing funky grooves. This one could be also the very first new wave tune.
9) Steps Ahead - Beirut (1986)
Michael Brecker, Peter Erskine, Mike Mainieri and Victor Bailey. What a supergroup! Love how they use the new technology in their music. Beirut is a superb composition!
10) Herbie Hancock - Bo Ba Be Da (1994)
This tune just shows Hancock’s geniality! It moves towards acid jazz. Hip Hop beats with jazz. Such an amazing fusion! Fantastic record!
11) Boozoo Bajou - Under My Sensi (2001)
When lounge music did not mean: music for elevators. Adore this tune and its atmosphere!
12) LTJ Bukem feat. Elliot - Sunrain (2000)
The leading figure in the genre of atmospheric or intelligent jungle and drum n bass.It was my favourite tune in that year.
13) Anima Sound System - Csillagtalan (1997)
My favourite Hungarian band of this period. One of the pioneers of the underground scene in Hungary. I love how they mix different genres in their works. This tune is a traditional Hungarian folk song originally.
14) Carl Craig - Televised Green Smoke (1997)
The album and this particular track marked the begining of the Detroit Techno revival. Ace work from the master!
15) Sasha & Darren Emerson - Scorchio (2000)
Emerson's tech-y style shines in with the beat and bass while sasha's progressive atmospheric style adds a wonderfull twist!
16) Shpongle - Shpongle Falls (1998)
One of the greatest electronic album ever! Simon Posford and Raja Ram are Shpongle, a psychedelic ambient project and this timeless masterpiece is from their first album.
17) Lazonby - Sacred Cycles (1994)
A trance anthem!And if you listen to it carefully you can recognize an old Genesis song.
18) Model 500 - The Flow (1995)
Juan Atkins’ mega classic tune!
19) Afterlife - Blue Bar (1999)
The tune that led me to balearic music! The rest is history ;)]]></description>

Podcast: Dusk Dubs
Artist: Jo Wallace
Title: DD0502
Style: , Jazz, House, Soul, Dub
Time: 116 minutes
Date: 2018-04-08
Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we welcome DJ, record label owner, producer and vinyl fanatic Jo Wallace to the Dusk Dubs family.
Jo has been responsible for compiling the Soul Satisfaction series as well as Motown Floorshakers, Motown Northern and Motown Love Songs for Motown Records. She is part of the North Street Remix collective, working alongside Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris on remixes for her labels Ramrock,  Ramrock Blue, Ramrock Red and F*CLR and other labels – Pete Tong featured one on his ‘Essential’ show in October. Jo created the soundtracks for the Versace and Vivienne Westwood exhibitions at the V&A Museum, closed Glastonbury three times and broadcast on the BBC, commercial radio and most recently on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM with a 2 hour Ramrock  Special with Ashley Beedle. 
"In this mix, I am laying my musical DNA out like an exhibit in a court case for examination – it’s been a very personal experience and I had real internal tussles with my selections. I felt guilty leaving tracks out and found myself apologising to Ramsey Lewis and Cornelius Bumpus but I had to be ruthless – there was a lot of music to fit in and only the biggest influencers found their way into the mix. Tracks that have supported me through sickness and health; tracks that reduced me to tears; tracks that made me want to spontaneously combust with joy…..that’s what music is all about – that’s why we do what we do. We are just musical conduits.’ [Jo]

Tracklisting
1) EWF – That’s The Way of the World
2) Main Ingredient – Happiness is just around the bend
3) Johnny Guitar Watson – Lone Ranger
4) Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band – I’ll play the fool for you 
To enable me to tell the story, I’m bundling the tunes up into ‘musical parcels’ – in the time frame that they came onto my radar. The first four tracks are my life savers – whenever things get tough, I wheel them out. As a soulfully clued up 15 year old, EWF’s ‘That’s the way of the World’ LP came marching into my collection in 1975 with its soaring strings, tight horns, a bass line to kill for and an impossibly beautiful combination of intricate vocals nimbly underpinned with chords that make you cry and then the sucker punch - Charles Stepney’s  production. I was on the ropes and I’ve been out for the count ever since. Sitting next to EWF on the shelf is the Main Ingredient’s gatefold sleeved ‘Euphrates River’ – with the full length ‘Happiness is just around the Bend’. I’d bought the 7” version in ’74 and written on the RCA stock bag, 21 Sept 1974, blissfully unaware that Brian Auger had sung the magnificently jazzy original – but my money’s on Cuba Godding. The strings and his vocals with the incessant drums and bass and backing vocals….tripped out soul. And then Robbie Vincent dropped ‘Lone Ranger’ on his Radio London show in ’75 – that bad boy, Johnny Guitar Watson was right on with the right on – he was off the scale with his gold tooth and gansta swag….how could a girl not fall for his charms? It was Robbie Vincent that blew me away the year after in 1976 with Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band’s ‘I’ll play the fool’ with the beautiful Corey Daye on lead vocals, the Darnell Brothers, Sugar Coated Andy Hernandez – that track drops and I know every crevice, every nuance, every glissade – it’s that long, impossibly hot summer, I’ve just left school, I’m working in a record shop, I’m 16 years old and my life is before me… 
5) The Flames – Broadway Jungle
6) Roland Alphonso & Soul Brothers – Independence Anniversary Ska
7) Derrick Harriott – The Jerk
8) Chuck & Dobby – I love my teacher 
The next bundle of tunes ties together the Jamaican influences – the impact that reggae has had on me. In 1971, I was at school and I used to buy vinyl off other pupils for 50p – telling them to go and raid their older brothers and sisters’ record collections. One such ​haul brought forth the milestone ‘Club Ska ‘67’ LP with its bright pink cover and bullet pointed titles on W.I.R.L. I ran home after school and put the needle on the record – what happened next was like being handed the tablets by Moses – the blinkers were taken off and my ears opened – The Flames aka Toots & the Maytals blasted out ‘Broadway Jungle’ and my life was never the same again. The next track, from the Ska Au Go Go compilation purchased in ‘73, is by the mighty Roland Alphonso – founder member of the Skatalites – here representing with the Soul Brothers and his version of the Beatle’s ‘I Should Have Known Better’ titled ‘Independence Anniversary Ska’ – it’s the only way I can listen to the Beatles! During the 70’s, I’d venture up to Camden Market to the record stalls round by Dingwalls and come away with untold treasures – armfuls of Bluebeat and Skabeat, pristine White Island 7” – and Derrick Harriott’s ‘The Jerk’ was the result of one of those crate digging sessions – his cover of The Larks 1964 hit of the same name is perfect in every way with the rolling piano riffs, punctuating trombone, tight 1:3 rhythm and and Derrick’s delicate vocals enticing you to move your hips – you can see them all sitting in the studio working in synch. And then up comes Chuck and Dobby with their B side to Aubry Adams & the Dudroppers A side ‘Do Du Wop’ on Bluebeat. I got given this 1961 beauty by an ex of my sister back in the early 70’s, complete with mint Blue Beat stock bag. You can hear the influence of Fats Domino and the Sound of New Orleans with the achingly simple delivery of the lyrics and piano – I try to study and get straight A’s….it still makes me smile every time I hear it – if only life could be this simple…. 
9) Fats Domino – It keeps raining 
When the news of Fats passing came through, I was sitting in North Street Studio One with Darren Morris and Ashley Beedle. It was an end of an era and I was in pieces. Fats will always be the man – his rhythms were emulated and imitated by Jamaican musicians during the Blue Beat period and became the foundation of reggae – without Fats and those big New Orleans radio transmitters, we’d have no reggae. The world has lost a true legend – I will be in mourning for eternity. 
10) Big Joe Turner – Shake, Rattle & Roll
11) Elvis – Stuck on you
12) Jimmy Lloyd – Where the Rio de Rosa Flows
13) Hank Williams Snr – Move it on over
14) Five Keys – She’s the most 
After inheriting a tri centre Bill Haley 7” ‘Rock Around the Clock’ EP from my sister in 1963, I became slightly obsessed with ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’ – and then I discovered Joe Turner’s bellowing original about 10 years later. Bill who? If you don’t move to this, you must be challenged in all departments. Slightly earlier from deep in my musical memory is the 1960 release ‘Stuck on you’ from Elvis – this is probably the earliest piece of music I remember around about ‘62/63 along with the Ray Conniff Singers ‘I’ll see you in my dreams’, the Spotniks ‘Hava Nagila’ and The Vampires ‘Swinging Ghosts’ – my sister had eclectic taste. Jimmy Lloyd came later – I discovered his Sun releases in the 80’s and boy, am I glad I did. This is my kinda Country shooting from the hip…combine this with Hank William Snr’s ‘Move it on over’ – you got to love a bit of fiddle – and my theme tune from the Five Keys ‘She’s the most’ – then you’ve got yourself a party in the barn. 
15 Family – Burlesque 
My life almost took a left turn in 1973 when I heard ‘Burlesque’ but it was only a hiccup in my timeline – but what a blip. Roger Chapman sounding like the Devil’s right hand man…I need me some snake-y spat shoes. 
16) Eric B & Rakim – Follow The Leader
17) Main Source – Looking at the front door 
Not since ‘That’s the way of the World’ had the musical Martians landed as they did when ‘Follow The Leader’ exploded on the turntables. I was working in Red Records in Brixton and you cannot believe the impact it had – just mind bending. Featuring samples from Baby Huey’s ‘Listen to me’ and the unsettling riff from Bob James ‘Nautilus’, ‘Follow the leader’ is the greatest hip hop track of all time in my humble opinion. Coupling it with the ’91 release from Main Source, ‘Looking at the front door’ was one of the stand out tracks for me on Patrick Forge and Julian Palmer’s seminal album ‘Rebirth of Cool 2’ – what a compilation - a whole generation had their heads turned. 
18) Jimmy Ruffin & Heaven 17 – The Foolish Things To Do
19) Joseph Malik – I Don’t Want
20) Greg Blackman x Duncan Mackay – Never Trust Another Man (Ashley Beedle’s ‘North Street’ Jazz Vocal) 
Sometimes, you need a few minor chords sprinkled into your daily grind – just to add to the beautiful melancholy. The next three tracks hit that spot perfectly – all outstanding vocalists, all singing laments and all uplifting my soul. The criminally underrated collaboration between Jimmy and Heaven 17 is as cheap as chips but a track to make you nod with approval; Mr Joseph Maliks’ ‘I don’t want’ from his hugely acclaimed 2002 ‘Diverse’ LP on Compost and then Greg Blackman teams up with trumpet maestro, Duncan Mackay and Darren Morris on piano to make something so perfect, it makes my bones ache – proud to have been in the studio when this happened. 
21) David Bowie – Lady Grinning Soul
22) Ronnie Foster – Love Satellite
23) Chuck Berry – Drifting Heart
24) Flamingos – I only have eyes for you 
One thing connects all these tracks – fabulous, statement intros – you know what’s coming. My undying thanks to Bruce Brand from The Milkshakes for introducing me to Chuck Berry’s ‘Drifting Heart’ and the one track that reduces me to an emotional wreck every time – ‘I only have eyes for you’ – how did they do it? It’s witchcraft, I tell thee…. 
25) Yvonne Baker – You didn’t say a word
26) Linda Jones – Just can’t live my life
27) Supremes – Stormy
28) Earl Van Dyke – All for you 
Northern Soul and Motown are a massive part of my musical makeup – from Wigan to West Hampstead to Soulgate on Sea and These Old Shoes – clubs and events littered with the very best in breathtaking soul. Yvonne Baker is my #1 Northern tune ever – the Bond song that never was – too close it seems to be talking ‘bout the weather. Couple that with Linda Jones and the high drama ‘Just can’t live my life’ with searing vocals that will rip your heart out, roll it in cat litter and put it back in backwards – you want heartache and misery? I’ll give it to you – and then the until recently unreleased Supremes version of ‘Stormy’. Covered by a host of artists including Dusty and Bobbie Gentry, this is the one that makes grown people cry – Diana’s plaintiff rendition couldn’t be more appropriate. And then Earl – that’s Mr Van Dyke to you – the backbone of Motown’s studio band, the unsurpassed ‘Funk Brothers’ – this will be one of my enders when the time comes – Hammond B3 heaven and mod nirvana. 
29) Vic Damone – Time after time
30) Dinah Washington – Cry me a river
31) Hal Miller – Blessing in disguise
32) Jimmy Rushing – How long, how long
33) Dells – Make Sure 
It’s just me and Vic in an empty after hours Vegas club with a sparkly curtain at the back of the stage and a pin spot on Mr Damone singing to me alone.  Dinah’s the next act on stage with ‘Cry Me a river’ and the ace up my sleeve, Hal Miller comes on and shows you why he’s the King of Beat Ballads with ‘A Blessing in disguise’ – a Bob Crewe production – castanets, tubular bells, French horns, strings, misery – sometimes, a break up is a blessing in disguise *sighs. Mr 5 x 5’ Jimmy Rushing – a blues shouter who was 5ft tall and 5ft wide – hollering the mournfully gorgeous ‘How long’ – I bought the Vanguard blues LP that it came from in 1973 which impressed the manager and that got me my first job in a record shop – a precocious 13 year old claim to fame but it’s true! And finally, when it’s my last goodbye, Marvin Junior and The Dells will be belting this out as I go behind the curtain – because you’ve got to make room for the next act coming on….and that, ladies and gentlemen, is my DuskDubs – I have the full selection on vinyl preserved for posterity in my record room. Thank you for listening and good night. ]]></description>

Mr 5 x 5’ Jimmy Rushing – a blues shouter who was 5ft tall and 5ft wide – hollering the mournfully gorgeous ‘How long’ – I bought the Vanguard blues LP that it came from in 1973 which impressed the manager and that got me my first job in a record shop – a precocious 13 year old claim to fame but it’s true! And finally, when it’s my last goodbye, Marvin Junior and The Dells will be belting this out as I go behind the curtain – because you’ve got to make room for the next act coming on….and that, ladies and gentlemen, is my DuskDubs – I have the full selection on vinyl preserved for posterity in my record room. Thank you for listening and good night. ]]></itunes:summary>

Dusk Dubs returns with another incredible journey through sounds. As always, our guest provides us with music that has a special place in their memories and in their souls. Music that moves them, that invokes images of sunrises, sunsets, good times and good people. We then play each record, in full, giving it breathing space and allowing it to shine.
This week we welcome, producer & DJ Don Leisure to the Dusk Dubs family.
"These are the tracks that influenced and inspired me since i was a child up until the point Darkhouse Family got going. These recordings without doubt shaped me musically and affected the way i think about and approach music...or they served as serious gateways into never ending rabbit holes of different musical discoveries.
The mixtape is in a sort of chronological order and split into 4 parts.....
The first part is my early years...i remember hearing 'Aap Jaisa Koi' at every family kid's birthday party growing up. I fell in love with sounds used on this track and as a child was utterly enthralled by a sound which i'd (much) later learn was a syn tom, i'm still a sucker for any boogie or disco track that uses them!.Don was an old Bollywood flick that my uncles and grand dad used to watch. The theme tune is so good and signifies some of the Indian music i'd hear growing up (if only all of it was as sick as this) . Throughout my life Prince has always had a constant musical presence. I remember the fandom that surrounded him from being around my older cousins who were real big fans growing up. The Batman Soundtrack this cut is from is the first record i ever owned...next up is a bunch of classic hip-hop cuts. So hard to narrow down individual tracks from this period as there were so many that meant so much. I grew up in the Welsh Valleys which isn't exactly a hot bed of hip-hop so i was exposed to a lot of heavy rock and metal as a teenager. Whilst a lot of it i left alone there is still a bunch of it i still mess with and Sabbath are timeless! This part of the mix is basically the blueprint or DNA of the 'Shaboo' record.
Next up you got the formative years. Around this time i'd moved from Cardiff to London and thrown myself into experimental electronica music and also sound system culture. A mate of mine put me onto music by Aphex Twin and Squarepusher one night and I was hooked with the freedom these guys would display in their music with each track being different from the last and there not being any rules at all. Also around this time I started making drum and bass and working for Dillinja and Lemon D's Valve label and soundsystem. The raw energy that DnB had and the way the early stuff fused together loads of the best bits from other styles of music was massively influential to me. Lemon D was kind of like a mentor to me throughout this time and taught me so much about production so i've got to give him a shout with his track from the seminal Metalheadz 'Platinum Breakz' comp and also include 'Metropolis' by Adam F because its simply the peak the of DnB (i don't care what anyone else has to say on that)...these two tracks are perfect examples.
The third batch of tracks represents a period in my life when i was working at Reckless Records in London's Soho. The Mighty Zaf as he is now known was the manager of the store so anyone who knows that name will know that I was getting exposed to some serious heat each time i did a shift there. I don't think i ever worked a shift there where i didn't piss myself laughing, discover some amazing music and where i didn't get called a c*nt by Zaf! The very first music I heard working there on the very first shift was DKD 'Getaway' and blew my nut. I'd never heard any broken beat up until this moment and from then on it was a discovery of different styles of music that i wasn't previously familiar with as everyone who worked there had serious knowledge.
The last phase of the mixtape is all about the beats...at this point i'm back living in Cardiff and getting more and more into beat tape culture. What can I say about Dilla that hasn't already been said already? These tracks here are two of my favourites of his, (i also strongly suggest going after the sample for 'Track 6'....trust!).... Same goes for Madlib who in my ears is the best to ever do it. This beat of his is up there for me - i must have listened to that about 200 times. Around this time I met my Darkhouse Fam partner in slime Earl Jeffers who was making hip-hop under the Metabeats name, I copped his CD and this track with the homey C-Minus (Hekla) grabbed me instantly and made me go out and find this guy and Darkhouse Fam was born shortly after....rounding off is a couple of other tracks from this era that really struck a chord with me and the way we tried to make beats in the early Darkhouse Family days..."
