Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Dan Beaven - July 2018

No guest this month as I've been in and out of Berlin, as well as getting my turntables repaired. I took the opportunity to go a bit deeper than usual.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Stephen Howe - August 2018

This month I was joined by D.C. Ops. Being a committed digger with an ear for esoteric bangers, many of David's Discogs finds have found their way into the hands of more established DJs. Lock in to hear us go tête-à-tête for the next two hours.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with D.C. Ops - September 2018

This month I went b2b with @johnnycounce, co-founder of @eckerecords, a new label from Berlin focused on broken beats.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Johnny Counce - October 2018

Big thanks to Matt Boon for joining me on this month's Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers. Always a pleasure to play with, Matt is a serious digger and I always find myself asking for IDs. This time was no different, lock in.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Matt Boon - November 2018

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Stephen Howe - December 2018

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Northern Jon - February 2019

Back on @kmah-radio for two hours of no-nonsense ravey house, breaks and UKG.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Stephen Howe - March 2019

Had a great weekend with Jonny Chorley when he came over from Bristol a couple of weeks ago. Two hours of us b2b, get into it.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Jonny Chorley - March 2019

This month's show with @ethelswan is up to listen again! We had a great mix full of tasty house and breaksy cuts.

You should definitely check out the @ra-re-records collective and label, which is dedicated to releasing music by exclusively female artists. If you're in Berlin get down to one of their future showcases, or Ethel's Sobremesa party!

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Ethel - April 2019

I had the great pleasure of mixing with Doug Brennan for the last show. Doug's been working at record shops for years and, as you can imagine, he's amassed a very refined collection in that time.

He's also a regular rave promoter and soundsystem enthusiast, so this show was recorded at his flat, where we both mixed on his huge Klipschorns. Aril Brikha never sounded so deep! Thanks @supersolar!

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Doug Brennan - May 2019

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Stephen Howe - June 2019

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Toxido Mask - July 2019

This month on Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers, Stephen Howe is joined by Big Leg. Often found at Ziegrastraße 11 sporting a beret and silk loungewear, the Astral VIP curator takes us on a whistle stop tour through blues, dub, sleazy house and the Coil discography.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Big Leg - September 2019

Straight off the back of a gig-packed summer and a smash mix for Siren, Katiusha returns to Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers one year on. She joins Stephen for a two hour b2b, with lighthearted chat but serious records.

Strange Friends & Friendly Strangers with Katiusha - November 2019

This month I had the pleasure of hosting Squallfront, top dogs from Ecke Records, on KMAH Radio. We had a wonky half-hour live session and they brought some killer tunes for the subsequent b2b. Lots of unreleased stuff inside!
