The Weekly Review - Once in a lifetime shows at Primavera Sound 2022

Today on Radio Primavera Sound we welcome Mike Paradinas a producer, label owner and promoter of talent quite beyond compare. As µ-Ziq Mike has been one of the most important artists in experimental electronic music over the past three decades, while his Planet Mu label has been host to an outrageous run of talent, from grime to dubstep, footwork to pop. His excellent new EP Goodbye is out now and his classic Lunatic Harness album is getting re-released later this year. We talked about jungle tekno, recording drunk, the pleasures and pains of running a label, The Auteurs, missing out on raving and Aphex Twin.

Hi lazy summer friends, aren’t we all "Bordalonely“ by now!?. I recently watched the breathtakingly good documentary "Ennio“ on Maestro Morricone, TSTD’s favorite musician on earth/universe. So to start this month's show, you get a few new tracks that honor the orchestral sound of Ennio, but take it to 2022. Especially "Air“ from Sault’s new album, which is mind-blowing. The rest is the typical mix of Slow Jams, Sunset Disco, Yacht R’n’B, Edits and more tunes to accompany the sunshine and your rooftop cocktails! The mix also features a premiere of an edit for The Prime Time Band by Mister Chugging’ Edits. The original will be released this Friday and it is one of the standout tracks of our upcoming official TSTD 4 compilation, coming in August. The mix also ends with another track from it, the compilation opener by The Dukes a.k.a Bugatti & Musker, a long forgotten super smooth West Coast AOR/Yacht masterpiece.
