With a long history of involvement within the electro-focused Bleep43 collective behind her, Jo Johnson surprised many with the release of her excellent debut album Weaving on Further Records. A calming exercise in minimalist composition and new age melodies, Weaving quite rightly featured among our favourite albums of last year and remains a record that gets repeat office airings midway through 2015. With this in mind, the notion of seeking out Johnson for a mix started to form a few months back, though the artist herself told us she was fully focussed on preparing for her live show at this year’s edition of the Freerotation festival that took place a few weekends ago.

Unperturbed, we floated the idea of potentially hosting Johnson’s Freerotation set as part of our podcast series in the event of her recording the performance. Luckily for us and you, Johnson was, and we are thrilled to offer a platform for Johnson’s near hour-long live set. Performed deep into the night at the festival’s yurt stage, Johnson’s set consists entirely of new and unreleased material from her. If you are a fan of Weaving this performance from Johnson will definitely resonate with you.

Johnson was kind enough to answer some questions that should offer some context for this recorded performance, as well as her relationship with Further Records and what we can expect from Bleep43 over the coming months. You can read that here: http://bit.ly/1efUvIs

All these tracks are from the 1996 Full Cycle 'Music Box' LP and the 1998 Dope Dragon 'Wayz of the Dragon' LP. These hardly ever get played in clubs these days, so I thought it would be nice to do a mix using only these records. Pure Bristol madness.
