Radio Show: August 23rd 2009// Tell Me, Are You Serious?

Donna Allen. Told you it was special.

Ahhh, the sweet sound of disco. Dionne and Matt indulge themselves once again with disco from eras past and present, the former represented by the AWESOME Donna Allen with Serious and the Staple Singers covering Slippery People by the Talking Heads, and the latter by Nite Jewel, Holt Ghost! (obviously) and the new tune from Joakim.

In between you can catch the usual mix of eclectic indie wonders, including a Clash B-side, The Very Best, Slow Club, The XX and The Big Pink.

Radio Show: August 16th 2009 // Shake Your Rump to the Disco Funk

After sunning himself on his jollies, Matt is back with Tanlines (ho ho ho!). Yes folks, terrible humour, shonky links but terrific music just keep on infecting the airwaves, and here is a little record of it, just for you.

In one of their all-too-frequent serendipitous synchronisations (actually in this case maybe that should be serendipitous synth-chronisations) Dionne and Matt deliver two eighties electro-funk killers in a row (in the form of Fresh Band and Feel). Elsewhere, there are looks forward to upcoming gigs in the form of MSTRKRFT (Ocean Rooms), Sister Sledge (Concorde) and Voluntary Butler Scheme (Freebutt), plus a bit of Nu Disco wafflisations from Lindstrom, Aeroplane and Holy Ghost!.

Listen here, look down there.

Radio Show: 2nd August 2009 – Festival Bonanza

No k-holes in this meadow – it’s been a summer of music loving and we celebrate by playing some songs we like. Matt gets emotional with Hawkwind. I mean Rain Machine, and Dionne reminisces of times past with a fond look back at Secret Garden Party and Latitude (shame The Sonic Manipulator was vetoed by Matthew).
There’s also some classics knocking about like that crusty that wakes you up poi-diving around 7am when you’ve just crawled into your tent. Frrresh.
