20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."

Sleazy Wonder continuously strives to expand his and your own musical horizons with no known limits. With a knowledge that’d stand up against most, Sleazy’s manifesto is all about spreading unknown global sounds and joyful funk to the people. His residency at Loughborough based club night DBE and festival stints at Secret Garden Party, Boardmasters & Hideout Festival all help carve out his niche for club and festival sets like no other. The man’s passion for music that has feeling doesn’t stop there, and the eleven instalments of 2 hour long soundcasts that are finely crafted and backed by extensive delving into the far corners of the melodic world, brings you a journey as well as an education. Following a different theme with each, the soundcasts have covered huge grounds of style, spanning some of the smoothest jazz to the grittiest of rap infused electro. Sleazy’s got you covered for whatever it is you’re fancying, with no question that you’ll discover some great stuff that hits you in the right places.

Music..  Played with a lot of different people.
