I did a thing for my good friend Jari from Pepe Deluxé that he does on Facebook called Feel Good Friday – the idea is to recommend good music to help sooth Fridays – here it is
Fog Cast #1 – Robin The Fog / Howlround
If deep, minimal ambient is your thing then look no further, the first 14 minutes alone is just drone, this is a new weekly show on Resonance FM, #2 should be up by the time you read this (actually #4 is out now, with an exclusive DJ Food track from the archives)
Misuse Me – Andy Votel tribute to Bill Withers
https://soundcloud.com/
A short one, multiple versions of Bill’s wonderful song, ‘Use Me’, mixed expertly into an 8 minute epic.
Johno – A Theme From An imaginary Western
https://www.mixcloud.com/
Paul Johnson is a friend of mine, occasionally he makes these hilarious mixes in a cut and paste style, full of very British humour and silliness. If you want something to bring a smile then try this 30 minute beauty.
I wouldn’t normal do this but what the hell – I recently put together an hour long mix of records referencing mothers, mums, mama’s and the like for Mother’s Day in the UK for the Out of the Wood show. (I did this a few weeks ago, just before lockdown started)

Funk, pop, psych, beats, rap, even a bit of jungle and a very rude ending.

AAAAAAND: if and when you run out of music to listen to

I’ve also just set up a Mixcloud Select channel for vintage Solid Steel mixes from my archive, the third one will be up this week.

Also up from last week but I forgot to post it, I did the 3 Wyrd Things post for Ian Holloway‘s Wyrd Britain blog where you’re asked to name three British oddities that have influenced you, have a look and see how this Pop annual fits into the story. https://wyrdbritain.blogspot.com/2020/04/3-wyrd-things-dj-food.html
