James Lavelle: The Crosstown Mix Show 029

Grasscut return with the second single from their forthcoming debut album. Continuing their theme of exploring the essence of our culture, on “Muppet” Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair deal with losing your ability to communicate, something Phillips describes as “a very English kind of frustration.”

“I was talking to a bunch of people having a conversation none of us could be bothered to have,” Phillips explains. “And I could hear someone gossiping about a mutual friend behind me – I couldn’t resist pretending to text while actually recording them.” While this may not make Phillips your ideal friend, it results in great music. “I wrote the song while walking home and recorded the vocal straight into my phone. Musically it had to go from a pop song to total self-destruction. I remember Marcus ramming a drumstick into a cymbal, jamming the stick into a tom and bowing the cymbal furiously while I was yelling at the end. We really went there.”

Remix duties are ably dealt with by Nathan Fake, the estimable Norfolkian who can throw in everything from next-wave computer rock techno to vertiginous ambient pilgrimages, or in this case, come up with something in between. The package is rounded out by the ecstatic, electro-psych sweep of “Meadowhall At Last”.

Already acclaimed by Tom Robinson as “making genuinely daring music that still remains an accessible and enjoyable listen,” Grasscut are set to release one of the oddest, most listenable and strangely uplifting albums of the year.

Grasscut - Muppet (Album Version)

Soothing and soft, dulcet and dreamy, seven-piece Submotion Orchestra make incredibly exciting music that can only be described as a hybrid of jazz, ambient, soul and electronica rooted in dubstep. The Leeds based band are set to drop their fourth album Alium via Counter Records in November but now they are here to give us a little taster of whats in store. Slow down, kick back and relax to the sound of this week's Slumber Session as SO's frontman Dom tells all on the mix. Enter the sound of Submotion.

"Some of my favourite music that has lasted me since my early teens has been the most relaxing. There is something about the dream-like state induced by closing my eyes & listening to great music that really immerses my brain in all the complexities of space and time in a recording. I imagine myself in a place, and I can imagine where all the sounds are coming from, how far away they are, what time of day it is, and even why I am there. Sometimes I see myself on a beach, drinking rum punch under a palm tree and watching the sunset, while the band/DJ plays from a floral pagoda. Sometimes I see myself on a night bus in the cold concrete metropolis, with the music in my headphones providing an ambient electronic soundtrack, helping me to see the beauty in the miserable weather and crumbling dereliction. I think it all depends on my mood and the mood of the music. I tried to fit a variety of moods into this mix; from the simple-but-effective songs of Fink & Joanna Newsom, to the late-night electronic fizz of Om Unit & Burial, to the stone cold classic dubby downtempo of Lamb and Rhythm & Sound. Of course also with some appropriate Submotion favourites slotted into the mix. I really hope you enjoy listening to this mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together, and I hope it takes you on a relaxing journey into my sound and influences." Dom, Submotion Orchestra.

Was an honour to be asked to do the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. I grew up listening to the Essential Mix and still can’t quite believe I got to do my own. The basic idea was to make a soundtrack of my life over the past 20 years and weave it all into some kind of journey. Didn’t see myself mixing MJ Cole’s ‘Crazy Love’ with a Chick Corea record but it happened… and The Streets ‘Has It Come To This?’ with Arkist’s ‘Fill Your Coffee.’ That Artkist tune was the song that made me want to start producing - I used to play it on repeat whilst living in Brighton in 2011 - still sounds fresh in 2024 I think. I ended the mix with a new song of mine called Ojai. Big thank you to Pete Tong and Radio 1 for having me. Enjoy!

Solid Steel returns with brand new and exclusive mixes from Four Tet and Trevor Jackson.

For this special show we have Kieran Hebden - AKA Four Tet - partnered with Trevor Jackson - founder of Output Recordings, the independent record label he ran between 1996 and 2006. 

Both artists have a long history with the show (this is Hebden’s 7th appearance and Jackson's 3rd), as well as with each other. Hebden’s early releases as part of Fridge and his first solo release - the 1997 "Double Density" single under the artist name 4T Recordings - were released on Output. The label was also home to the first releases under his Four Tet Alias, including 1998 singles "Thirtysixtwentyfive" and "Misnomer", and 1999's “Glasshead"/"Calamine" single and first full-length album “Dialogue”. Jackson also released music on the label as Skull and Open Music and elsewhere including his work as Playgroup.

Speaking about the mix and his history with Jackson, Hebden told us: “This is a mix of music from all over the place that I’ve been enjoying and getting inspired by in recent times.  A snapshot of my personal listening world. Some of the way I search for music and the way I DJ was learnt from Trevor Jackson so his influence is always in what I do in some way.  I met him when I was a teenager and he introduced me to loads of records with all different styles and origins and also showed me ways to bring these sounds into the future through sampling and DJing. This open minded approach to listening and sound I think is one of the great strengths particularly of producers who came from hip hop in the 80’s and 90’s because there was such a strong incentive to explore all types of music in the search for samples. The passion and enthusiasm for listening and discovering music that comes from this is something I have huge respect for"

You can hear the mix by Trevor Jackson here https://soundcloud.com/ninja-tune/solid-steel-030719-trevor-jackson

There are no tracklists for the show on this occasion, the mix is instead accompanied by two photographs of the record sleeves used which you can see on Twitter https://twitter.com/SolidSteelRadio - one for the diggers
