Sean Johnston (@hardwaybros): "Trying to condense 30 years of musical heritage into a 60 minute mix with a talent like Andrew's is like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Over the three decades that I knew him I was a fan, a friend and eventually partner in A Love From Outer Space. The body of work he left behind runs into many, many hundreds of tracks and covers just about every musical genre known to humanity,  (which of course reflects his relentless creative curiosity and spirit). I decided in the end not to overthink it, and just to roll with a concoction of my favourites, and, as Andrew would have said, tried not to make the joins too obvious..."

Coyote - The Standard Solar Sessions

Mr. Scruff - Live at Jaeger 05/09/2025

Came across a box of old tapes and lo & behold, found a mix from a community radio thing from back in 1994 (I think)

Round about the time I was playing a lot in Europe for the first time and support DJing WARP tours. It's a tough workout to be sure, and features what I think was an acetate of an old RAC tune called 'Quexos' near the end. A bloody lifetime ago anyway, enjoy - or don't : ]

LA Nights with DJ Garth

This February, we've been lucky to share a private music mix from world renowned DJ Garth.  We count him as an inspiration as an artist for more than two decades but also as a beloved friend.  Originally born and raised in England, Garth moved to SF in 1990 and was part of the Wicked Sound System group with DJ's Jeno, Markie, and Thomas.  A key player in defining and capturing the underground house music scene in SF, Garth's influence spread near and far through performing, producing and composing music.  This was all in his spare time when he wasn't touring the globe.  Now as a current resident of LA with his family, he still imparts his legacy of classic disco and house via live gigs while also continuing to produce music with his record label Grayhound Recordings.  Here's a link to a peek into Garth's heart and soul via our recent Q&A.

Q:What inspired you to put together these songs for the mix?
A:Whenever I am asked to do a mix I like to create a little back story. I tend to play records like a raconteur tells a story. The Farmers Daughter Hotel has a unique theme. I stay at the hotel and eat at the restaurant Tart. ‘Classic Americana w/an Urban Twist’ comes to mind. I dug through the American Rock n Roll section of my record collection and selected songs that spoke of heading out west, the open road, free love, wind in the hair, all that good stuff.

Q: What was the “story” of the songs pieced together?
A: The Farmers Daughter herself became personalized in the process as the elusive object who will not be tamed. She heads to California, leaving a trail of broken hearts along the highway. Like any good yarn there’s a beginning, a middle and an end. She inspires because ultimately she is her own boss and free as a bird, yet modest and kind to those she encounters.

Q: What are your greatest influences and motivators in life?
A:  Turns out what I Iove about the art of deejaying is also what draws me to the craft of acting, something I have been doing since moving to Los Angeles. It is not about the bells and whistles. It is telling a story, connecting through an honest dialogue or emotion:  holding up a mirror, exposing the soul. If you’re lucky, creating a performance that resonates, blows people away, or makes a difference.

Q:  What would you like “the road that you travel” to look like?
A:  I have had no regrets since leaving England for San Francisco in 1990. I have been blessed as a self sufficient artist the whole time and never had to work a ‘job’. I have a beautiful family and home, inspiring work, great friends and get to travel the world. I have faith in the road ahead although there are no guarantees in life.

Q: What aspects of the FD and/or the brand appeals to you?
A:  It’s an unpretentious, funky, independent, friendly joint. It’s the people!
