Next up in the series we have the extremely talented co-founder of @pollination-uk and brand new Bristol Based, "Down To Earth" resident - @fr0nd with an hour of downtempo deep sea explorations.

Is there anything more wonderfully compelling than the sea? I wanted this to be a loose story starting off warm saturated corals before heading down into weirder uncharted waters. Seeing what crustacean nightmares we come across, discovering lost cities, getting lost in a retro futuristic watery world.

Whomp! They smash the lineups each and every time and it’s all for a really good cause.

My partner in @pollination-uk - @yasmine_ldn her passion and drive is something I always admire plus she is a sick dj. I always enjoy the times we play together despite our music tastes and mixing styles being fairly different. I usually have to break away from my slow and sleepy blending in order to keep up with her quick and technical style. Shouts!

Olympic - Marathon into Leandro Gamez - No Es Otra Cosa. Marathon is this beautifully dusty old trance tune with the most sultry vocals over the top. That with the bass line brought in slowly from No Es Otra, really takes you somewhere else

Hard to pick again but probably @chris_ianson old @On-Rotation-music mix - it’s one I always re-visit every now and then. It’s 4.5hrs of the most seamlessly stitched together deep house/ techno + more. A wonderful example of narrative and pace. Shout out to Chris! https://soundcloud.com/on-rotation-music/rotation-13-chris-ianson

@richardgregory's @peopleandplacesldn mix is also one of my most played. Every track is amazing https://soundcloud.com/peopleandplacesldn/people-places-035-richard-gregory-1

Talking Drum w/ mish - Noods Radio - 14.2.2024

Second part in a killer, wave-surfing double header by Hamburg enigma Braun Jaschkewitz for the V I S label, getting weirder and spanning wider than the first volume with ample screwballs and WTF bullets inside.

Where the preceding volume focussed on synth-pop, NDW and new wave, ‘Neid Dabai Zu Sein #2’ plays out a sleazier, more spangled soundtrack to creeping the Reeperbahn and scoring wraps of wizz. If the first volume mostly left us scratching our head for a tracklist, this one has us totally flummoxed for its flux of top shelf obscurities, which open with what sounds like a field recording of Pac-Man in an arcade and proceed to pluck curios from behind the ear. 

Vocoder-led echoes of Zeus B. Held give way to curdled NWD grooves, horny boogie woogie, cybernoir soundtrack and an absolute zinger in that german cover of The S.O.S. Band’s ‘Just Be Good to Me’ on the A-side, before he cues up lysergic synth soul, oily electro downstrokes and piquant funk-not-funk, plus some heroic ‘80s main character themes and speedy steppers on the flip.
