Invocations for spring from me this month, with the equinox around the corner. Keeping it lush and pastoral, with Arnold Bax's tone poem, In The Fairy Hills, and Delius's Brigg Fair. There's an excerpt in there from the Singing The Fishing, one of the incredible series of 'radio ballads' created by Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger, and Charles Parker in the 50s and 60s, which revolutionised the way radio was done at the BBC, blending field recordings, studio performed songs, and spoken word to portray the sounds and sensations of disappearing working class cultures in England. And some gorgeous folk songs, of course, from The Watersons, John Renbourne, and Martin Carthy.

Magick FM - May 2023

Double Glaze w/ Sonny Whu - 04.06.23

Long time NTS veteran and Apron and Youth affiliate SHAMOS heads a monthly late night slot. Expect a varied, yet consistently cohesive selection, as he joins the dots between rugged analog house, tripped out hip-hop, the punkier dregs of new wave and other leftfield cuts along the way.

Front Left Life b2b Winsome - June 2023

𝖒𝖊𝖗𝖈𝖚𝖗𝖞 𝖎𝖓 𝖌𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖎 ☿ '𝟐𝟑 𝖒𝖎𝖝

one for all my astrology qweens—i recorded this mix in celebration of mercury’s recent transit through gemini.

being the native ruler of gemini, this mercurial shift holds a notable influence. native themes of duality and transience are explored within musical structure and colour across this 60-minute curation.

playing on the dual nature of gemini, the mix is split into two halves: the first exploring detailed, cerebral jungle, trip-hop and drum & bass—the second indulging in deep, rezonant and percussive techno, dub and ambient.

[ inc. majestic productions from slolek, vardae, aa sudd, donato dozzy, or+be, amit, altinbas, cirkle, talismann +++ more ]

on a more personal level, this astral shift presented me with a rush of inspiration and mental clarity, nurturing a fundamental awareness of my identity that has only been partially clear to me in the past. very nice.

having multiple gemini placements in my chart, i often feel conflicted between two ideas or paths of action. thematically and technically, this mix lovingly embraces duality as opposed to polarisation; eclecticism as opposed to fragmentation; liberty as opposed to restlessness.

enjoy the trip <3

Daddy.
