Mix of Italian ambient/minimalist/avant-garde music, mostly emanating from institutions supporting the visual arts in cities like Milan and Rome: theatre production soundtracks, video installations and architectural studies.

Edan The DJ - Live On Gilles Peterson (08/02/2020)

I was blown away by Steve McQueen's recent Small Axe series of films on BBC1. One of them, Lovers Rock, featured a life affirming scene using Janet Kay's "Silly Games", to incredible effect. "Silly Games" is an all time favourite of mine (see below if interested) and one night recently I couldn't sleep so decided to take the A Cappella singing from the film and weld it to Dennis Bovell's dub mix of "Silly Games". Easier said than done, it took hours and hours and did not help me sleep as it was lunch time when I finished. I only ever did it for my own amusement but played it on my NTS Radio show and have been inundated with requests for it, so here it is. If you don't know the original, which got to no. 2 in the UK Top 40 in 1979, and is now a bona fide evergreen classic, I thoroughly recommend checking it out.


"Silly Games" by Janet Kay is one of my all time favourite songs; a definite desert island disc. In the summer of 1979 it was ubiquitous and seemed to be on the radio all the time. I was just falling deeply in love with pop music and this song in particular stood out, both for myself and my sister, and indeed to this day, whenever I hear Silly Games I think of her and that glorious summer spent listening to the radio all day, every day.

In 1979, I didn’t know "Silly Games" was Reggae, let alone Lovers Rock, but it was the catalyst for me falling in love with Jamaican music in all its myriad forms which is a passion that has only grown as the years have passed.

Incidentally, 1979 was such a formative year for me and music that looking at the top 100 most popular hits in the UK singles music charts in 1979 I note that nearly a third of them have featured in my DJ sets over the years - http://www.uk-charts.top-source.info/top-100-1979.shtml

"Silly Games" was written and produced by Dennis Bovell, a genuine UK music legend who I am deeply honoured to have had appear on Optimo Music on two occasions. He features in the Lovers Rock episode of Small Axe and indeed you can hear his deep, booming bass heavy voice on this version. As stated, this version was done purely for my own amusement and I don't want to take anything away from the wonderful Janet Kay whose voice is such a wondrous and integral part of what makes "Silly Games" such a great, timeless song.
