03: D4L ft. @and-is-phi

An ethereal R&B sketch featuring And Is Phi - another tune that has been hiding on the private side of the cloud for way too long.

Sampled on this one is the intro to @timtoh & Ranavalonas classic, ‘Everything’. I bopped so much to this track when it came out some 4 years ago and could always hear a sort of slowed down, R&B edit of it worked into a more lyrical song - this is that.

22nd November 2023 (Frances Grove - To Hug A Stanger)

Contrary to the misinformed UK rap didn’t start with Dizzy Rascal, The Streets & Stormzy

Neither was it always an inferior emulation of its US counterparts. The UK took musical influences from diverse sources inspired by the countries uniquely diverse spectrum of international cultures, embryonic influential moments that transformed into multiple worldwide musical phenomenons, hugely successful genres that could only of been forged in the UK. 

The evolution of rap in the UK is a complex and fascinating story, many of its first commercial releases might of been novelties or pop hit records but a parallel strong & passionate underground scene developed via events, clubs, magazines and nationwide specialist Rap radio shows, Hip Hop in the UK was a transformative colour blind unifying force. 

Although  much of it was ignored outside of the UK, Early British rap from across all regions of the country created many landmark timeless anthems that still sound as fresh and urgent today as they did when first released, equally as relevant as seminal revered releases from the same era across the pond, they deserve more respect and attention. 

I’ve tried to include as many of my favourite tracks from 1980-1996 as possible in this mix. In chronological order, but by no means definitive, I’m fully aware I’ve missed out loads of other great records, (and added some curveballs simply to infuriate purists) so my apologises to those legends & pioneers I didn’t feature. 

Also I’m certainly no turntablist so please don’t expect cutting, scratching or masterfully theatric blends, I’ll leave that to the experts. 

Apologies for playing Ian Dury during tracks from 1981, it was originally released in 1979 so really should have started the mix. 

Enjoy!

NB : Original broadcast as 3 parts on Noods Radio in 2025, this is an extended version of those mixes featuring bonus tracks not in the original Mixes.

let me be

A side from the upcoming 7" by the Leicester, UK, band Dayflower! For their debut 7" single release they have paired an extensively reworked, brighter, bolder mix of 'Sweet Georgia Gazes' with the anthemic live favourite 'Daisy Age'. Tracking of the basic ensemble performances and early mixes of both songs took place at 2Fly, the studios of Sheffield based producer, Alan Smyth. This brand new mix reverts to Alan's crisp, punchy production as its core, embellished with additional vocal harmonies and atmospheric instrumentation by the band. In short, it is how 'Sweet Georgia Gazes' deserves to be heard.  
To be released fall 2019 on www.cloudberryrecords.com

TRANSMISSION#4

This is the new home for my soul
This is how I belong now
I built some glass windows in the room
I place all the cushions back in the chairs

Feel free to stay here
We can just lie (.) there

I looked to my friends and they brought me into
Their warm hearths they showed me how to
Build a light that matches the sun
So it doesn’t blind me anymore
I’ll let you through the door

Funny how much and how little things can change in a year
