Not one song from 2025 beb! Here are some tracks I've been enjoying recently...
The Pool - Jamaica Resting
Yeah, it's basically LCD's Dance Yrself Clean. Except this was recorded in 1982. I hope he got some royalties.
Siouxsie And The Banshees - Halloween
Yeah, Halloween was last week. Next year, I'll do a 6 Music Dads Halloween playlist. I promise. Honestly, remind me.
What an album Ju Ju is, by the way.
Aphex Twin - Blackbox Life Recorder 20 [Ambient 760]
Yeah, slow that shit doooooowwwwn.
The Space Lady - Major Tom
Who remembers Deutschland 83? Man, that was good TV. Anyway, The Space Lady does a cover of what would become the theme tune to the series, originally done by Peter Schilling. I feel The Space Lady works really well in a list/mix/radio show, but not sure I'd want an album or gig of it, y'know?
Janet Jackson - Any Time, Any Place
As played by Flo Dill the other week.
What a slow jam this is, by the way.
Van Morrison - Dweller On the Threshold
Straight outta Do!! You!!! It might take a few spins, but when it hits, it stays hit.
Honest to God, if you told me I'd be posting a Van Morrison track when I started this blog in 2009, especially after that dogshit Green Man show, I would simply not be having it.
Danger Doom - Sofa King
Just Doom doing Doom things.
Mason vs Princess Superstar - Perfect (Exceeder)
Yeah, it wasn't Saltburn. It was an M+S ad that did it. My bones are dust.
What a video this is, by the way.
Hatiras - Spaced Invader (J Majik Remix)
A recurring theme in these lists is me always choosing the oldest and crispiest video on YouTube if I can, and today is no exception. There's higher fidelity out there, but I know this tune from taping Fabio off Radio 1 back in the day. Taping as in taping with shitty cassettes recorded over and over again. Hiss me, Hardy.
Anyway, this absolute d'n'b roller from 2001 was featured in Reduced 39, Mumdance's Substack, where they post 5 tracks and 2 DJ mixes every Thursday. And that's it, all links, no words. Jump in and jump up.
