Burn some blunts. Blend some blends. Slow it down. Hear how it ends…

Blended Blunts

Back upstairs in the loft and another one from tape archive...and a fierce one reared it's head again from DJ/Artist/Producer that really left some stunning house music in his legacy and was a bad boy DJ as well as producer even back then...Mr Bobby Konders. Bobby laced us with now classic tracks like his House Rhythms Ep...feat Nervous Acid and the deep house classic The Poem. Also his work on Massive B are also classics in the deep house sound. Bobby really delivered the sound of Deep House as I and many remember going out dancing and buying house music from 89-91-92 would remember. Very dreamy moody tracks that sway perfectly in the 5-7am zone at that ideal/dream party I have in my head...I know I'm not alone in those thoughts...Here we hear Side B of Bobby in the mix for his show back on WBLS New York in 1989, featuring many jams from back then and even earlier inc some heavy digital reggae music that Bobby is connected to now in his career...some great mixes and moods that Bobby creates in the mix. Bobby as far as I know is pretty much a pure Reggae man now...something that was always apparent in his earlier house music and DJ mixing, Bobby played some choice New York parties back then inc House Nation and Wild Pitch and even visited the Ministry Of Sound in it's first year. This one has some jams for sure..Bobby showing his blends in this varied genre and killer show.

During our takeover on Polaroid Radio throughout October and November, we are delivering shows, playlists and music 24/7 on the Iris channel, inspired by the pages of Wax Poetics.

We reached out to our community to share a 60 minute mix with us every week.

This winning 80’s Ladies mix is curated by Gabby Bulgarelli, a multimedia creative in Brooklyn NY who was recently the Senior Producer of Louder Than A Riot from NPR Music, a podcast series about how misogynoir has resigned Black femmes to the same oppression hip hop was created to escape. When she isn’t creating immersive audio experiences about hip hop, you can find her mixing together old classics with new bops as DJ Free Samples, throwing on the pottery wheel or fixing up old cameras, all while sipping on teas from all over the world.

Happy birthday to the great Stevie Wonder!

Stevie Wonder Special

So I spent a few weeks trying to do something "special" for episode 250 of Pullin from the Stacks, but all my attempts just didn't feel right. Which meant I just kept putting off uploading a new episode this past month. But this week it was time for the latest Walking in Space livestream (second Thursday every month on Twitch!) and I felt like it came together pretty well, a blend of everything from folky-jazz to house to live hip-hop to gospel. A couple slip-ups in-between but that's just how things go! Hope you enjoy. Thanks to all the longtime listeners for sticking around and all the new listeners for checking this out! No track list for this one, but the final track is from my dude Jumbo's excellent gospel compilation "Love Hides All Faults," which everyone should check for!

In hour 2, DJ Format, fresh from releasing his new album, 'Statement of Intent', drops science including a very rare Edan 7", a DJ Soul Shock cut from '88 and a 'crazy Soviet record' (his words) amongst new cuts from Beta Hector and Mr Chop. 
Strictly Kev is on a rock trip this week which sees Steinski tear Hendrix a new one, Pepe Deluxé take the world by storm and finishes with a killer cut from Format's new LP, making it all nice and neat.
