The Black Light Disco show hoisted up its clam diggers up to paddle in the blue waters of the myhouseradio.fm airwaves last week; making the most of the sunshine and battering those Monday blues into submission.

It’s the start of the month and that can only mean one thing - it’s the turn of the Pookie Knights boys to massage your ear lobes and give you a big Welsh disco cuddle to kick your week off. 

Fresh from their gig at Good Custard in Manchester last Friday, the boys have pocketed all the knickers thrown at them on stage and donated them to an unnamed charity for sick people (like, really sick people!) The experience doesn’t seem to have traumatised them that much so they’re ready, willing and indeed able to kick out this week’s show live from the BLD Towers Stables (located at the back of the petting zoo). Previews for this week were not available at the time of writing but we’re sure it’ll unhinge the horses but it’ll also bring a smile to your faces.   

As always, give us a ❤️ if you likey, and give the show a re-post if you'd be so kind.

Wah Wah 45s are proud to present the second single on the label from a very special new artist, Léa Mondo.

Hailing originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, by way of Wigan, and now settled in North London, this young singer-songwriter and guitarist enjoys a plethora of eclectic influences. Léa’s musical output is a smorgasbord of experimental styles fusing aspects of soul, high life, bossa-nova, jazz and reggae. Drawing inspiration from reggae icon Bob Marley, and Malian artists such as Fatoumata Diawara and Rokia Traorè, as well as Nigerian born UK soul superstar Sade, her music largely talks about life, love, peace and freedom while reflecting on the state of the world.

Vices is a song about Lea’s personal struggles. The singer’s lyrics explore the highs and lows of personal addictions and her history of poor relationship choices. Drawing influences from Red Hot Chilli Peppers (Californication) drums and arrangements, the melody of the tune is curated in a way to take the listener on a journey that leads to a climax to convey the feeling one feels when they’re coming up, to eventual peak.

Léa and her band recorded the song live at That Sound Studio, Tottenham with producer Louis Auneau and engineer Bar Huss. The band consists of Jasmine Burton (Bass), Alex Karakurt (Drums), Tawanda Manika (Guitar), Olivia Cuttill (Trumpet), Max Rodriguez (Rhythm Guitar) and Léa herself providing lyrics, vocals, guitar, arrangements and co-producing the track.

Since 2021, Léa has been somewhat prolific on the London live music scene, co-founding famed female & non-binary improv session Peng Femme Jam, and sharing stages with our very own Afrobeat Ambassador Dele Sosimi and Afla Sackey’s Afrik Bawantu project.
