Trippy, arpeggiated tunes from the likes of Scribble, Oceanic and Pump were on the menu as Red Light Radio's Orpheu The Wizard stopped by the latest RA Live session at Brilliant Corners.

HNYPOT 363: Ketiov's Losing Track of Days

Sinéad has made waves for herself over the last couple of years as a newcomer to the San Francisco music scene. Her distinct selections have earned her recognition among members of the dance community in numerous cities, and have landed her gigs such as regularly playing for the famously euphoric and freaky A Club Called Rhonda parties in Los Angeles, as well as parties that celebrate a more underground sound such as San Francisco based Kosmetik and Mr. Drummer 1979.

Justin Strauss @ The Lot Radio 11 - 26 - 2020

What a damned year. No matter our particular angles or perspective, we can all at least agree on that much. “Unprecedented” in a two-way tie with the shrugging emoji for word of the year. A few highs and glimpses of empowerment, and several lows and mind-boggling low blows to contend with - obstacles masking opportunities, some moments of reflection and time gained, while many other things felt lost. 

One of the more remarkable aspects of 2020 was the sheer number of musical heroes and greats that have left this physical plane within the space of one year. Forces of huge influence, not only for myself but for countless individuals, music scenes, and artists from multiple generations. 

With this in mind for the annual wrap-up edition of the Greasy Listening mix series this year, while there was/is loads of amazing new and upcoming music to be shared and heard, it only feels just to pay respects and homage in memoriam to these many wondrous souls who poured themselves into their work over the last five plus decades, so we can forever be inspired and mesmerized by their greatness. 

While the selections may not be the most iconic/popular/rare or whatnot of each artist’s work, they are simply a few of my personal faves that fit the mix and are meant more as drop-in-the-bucket representatives of the incredibly extensive bodies of work that have been immortalized by these mighty creators (that also come highly recommended you dive into if haven't already).

So here it is: twenty pieces with timeless musical messages by twenty absolute legends that passed on in this most turbulent year of 2020. To the fallen stars, included in the set and not, Rest In Paradise - we offer our sincerest love and condolences to the families, and endless gratitude for the creative guiding light and healing power their music will forever bring us. Love, Peace, and Elbow Grease to all.

This radio special features tracks played by The Guv in his unique DJ sets over the decades. All styles are here. As Dublin DJ legend Billy Scurry noted 'He never let up, in every genre he played. You always knew you were going to be schooled'.

There are anthems here that were played at residencies such as ALFOS  with Sean Johnston, from Double Gone Chapel with Fiona Maguire and Big Vern and from earlier electro/techno residencies such as Haywire &  Bloodsugar.  There are tunes that I heard him play at 110th Street in Galway.  There are tunes that you heard him play, in different Irish and UK towns and cities, over the decades.

Some notes...
I went from 'Smokebelch (beatless)' into 'Spastik' as a listener told me it used to be a routine of his in the 90s.  Another listener heard him "In the middle of a belting techno set, crowd baying - slam Mills-style into ‘higher than the sun dub symphony’ for about 1 min then back into the belters. Doesn’t sound much in the re-tell but at the time was WOW!”
Hence this happening here.

Sean Johnston recounts surprising him by playing Todd Terje edit of M - Pop Muzik. 'I started playing it and got a decidedly arch raising of the eyebrow from the Guv, however as the tune played and the crowd went bonkers, a massive smile spread across his face. It went on to be embraced by Andrew and became an anthem of The Drop years".  Of the hundreds of records that Andrew wowed him with when they played together, one that stood out for Sean was ’Mastership' by Starship Commander Woo Woo.

Why Gary Glitter?  Giles Armstrong, who used to host him at Electric City in Dublin shared this nugget:
"But the night that really stands out in the memory was when he played
upstairs at EC… Dressed like he flew over on his own Spitfire, he proceeded to play a set of Rockabilly oddities that peaked with Gary Glitters ‘I'm The Leader Of The Gang.’  Only he could get away with playing that!"

Simon Conway shared this:
winc -  ‘thoughts of a tranced love’
the tivoli theatre, dublin october 1994. lights on. they think it's all over...
"don't go away, don't leave me now, i thought your love was here to stay"
...it is now.

We also hear the lovely voice of Gerard Sheehy, the Cork trawlerman who influenced Andrew's famous motto and tattoos as ALFOS requiem track 'Serenade' by Tom Demac plays.  I had only located him 24 hours prior to going on air. The planets were aligned.
