RC 328: Summer Always Happens When It’s Raining

Listen on

Episode notes

Throwing out a queer life ring to those missing London Pride, Notting Hill Carnival and drowning under the constant rain – although yesterday the sun came back but we’ve had weeks of rain – the classic British Summer!

Starts with a traditional summer jungle / drum and bass mix fromme, and then more downtempo with disco, ibiza and ambient acid house house, psychedelic disco, , funk and even Kraftwerk Steel Drum covers and new tracks from Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, Kotomi & Ryan Elder, William Maranci, Type 303, Pete Cannon and Dimension, and an exclusive new mashup from me in the mix.

And we salute film maestro Ennio Morricone and his spaghetti western soundtracks….and some notes from the frontline of Lockdown London and Superspreader Saturdays.

This is a sibling of the next podcast, it’s not really part 1 and 2 but certainly grew out of this one getting too large!

Big thanks to Ian of The Lloydbrary who inspired the jungle mix in this show with his Sea of Bass #187 podcast, and indeed I nicked one of the tunes! And to Matt Catt whose live DJ sets on Twitch I have been digging and indeed I heard the last track of this podcast on one of those broadcasts re: Black Lives Matter and it’s a deep tune.

BTW this is an intentionally lighter episode than the last two, but I haven’t forgotten, the fight continues but in a more softly-softly approach, pervading everything I do. It was always there, just bringing the level up just like the voices I am now foregrounding and listening to more. It will take time for all of us to dismantle bigotry of all types, and that’s OK, as long as we don’t use that as an excuse all put the work in and play the long game.
