This week we welcome the Belfast DJ Jude Dude to the series, supplying us with a smooth all-wax selection of deep, groovy and upbeat house, with tracks from the likes of John Tejada, Kynesis, Deep Rhythm and Denia. 

Jude says that the mix was made with the intention to improve mood, conserve positive emotions and decrease maintenance of thoughts. He has certainly been putting the Discogs hours in, digging deep into the realm of forgotten 90s house to curate a real corker of a mix. To catch more of Jude, head to Alto Radio where he has a great bi-monthly residency called Bioscaping. For now, crack open a beverage, put your feet up and enjoy some tasty and mindful beats.

Pick 'n' Mix #49: Jude Dude

Ken Wilber is a philosopher and the author of more than 25 books which have been translated into 30 languages. 

His work attempts to integrate all fields of human knowledge into one “theory of everything”, which he calls Integral Theory. This draws connections between fields as far ranging as: systems theory, evolutionary biology, anthropology, quantum mechanics, Jungian psychology, neuroscience, sociology, and eastern mysticism. 

This interview introduces some of Wilber’s key ideas, including: stages of development; waking up, cleaning up, and growing up; and the 4 quadrants. If you’re interested in a “deeper dive” after listening to this, you can get a copy of Ken’s new book by visiting: https://bit.ly/radical-wholeness

Ken Wilber - Finding Radical Wholeness

Dr. James Hollis is one of the world’s leading Jungian analysts. Across a career spanning decades, he has written extensively on how we confront the unconscious, navigate midlife, and live with greater courage and self-awareness. His books include: Living an Examined Life, Under Saturn's Shadow, and a Life of Meaning. 

In this conversation, we explore: 

— The extent to which Dr. Hollis believes there is a "purposeful intelligence" at work in nature.

— How we live a larger life by asking larger questions - and the questions he finds more helpful for leading his clients to a path of enlargement

— How to distinguish between ego-based desires and those coming from a deeper place

— What Dr. Hollis learned from his near death experience in 2022. 

And more.
