Cheers to our good mate Gerry Hectic for sending this deeply dubby recommendation (above). It’s from Aspartate and it’s called Apart (Version). All we know about it is produced by someone called Mark Bailey and it’s on the D.Construction label out of Germany and their Bandcamp is here.
And talking of chilled out dub, here’s another lovely example. It’s by Dub Addiction and it’s called Ecological Dub (Calm Down Remix). It will be featured on a lounging mix on the shortwaves very very soon.
Here’s last night’s broadcast of WORK on Imaginary Stations on WRMI on Shortwave. There’s an hour of work related tunes from DJ Frederick and Justin Patrick Moore and at 7 minutes in there’s a mix from One Deck Pete called “Work (The old fashioned way)”. Here’s the tracklistings:
Eric Coates – Calling all Workers (excerpt)
Willie Hutch – Brothers gonna work it out
The Blue Orchids – Work
Culture – Work on Natty
Chairmen of the Board – Working on a building of love
The Silhouettes – Get a Job (Extract)
So ditch the sarnie box, kick off the Toetectors and interview slacks and tune into WORK.
There hasn’t been much gardening done this week what with that cold spell we’re having that is testing the elephant garlic, the foxglove plugs and all of the garden. If you want something decent to listen to while you’re stuck indoors you can’t go wrong with last night’s transmission of JNHK from The Imaginary Stations collective below.
It’s a great show with a mix of all sorts of Japanese related tunes from Justin Patrick Moore and DJ Frederick and at 09.33 a mix from One Deck Pete called “Big in Japan” and here’s the tracks:
GORE – Bills are piling up
Forgotten employee 忘れられた従業員 – The Backroom Tapes – A Merry Kmart Christmas
Ryuichi Sakamoto – Riot in Lagos
Japan Sound Portrait – Tatemae Ceremony
Dry & Heavy – Dub the Bong Around
Japan to Kangaroo Island, Australia CB DX
Rewind and enjoy!
We’ve just come across this track from 2013 from Music Komite out of spain and it’s called King Tubby and it’s one great tune. It’s jazzy, chilled and there’s even some gongs or bells going on. And a spring reverb too!
One-time pads and 2HB pencils at the ready please. Transmission. Sunday 29th January 2023. 2300h UTC. 9395 kHz. Via WRMI. AM mode.
And we’ve been complaining about the weather today. A big thanks to our good music/radio friend across the pond Justin Patrick Moore for getting in touch. Here’s what his back garden in Cincinnati looks like at the moment. Now that is cold. Thank goodness there’s no elephant garlic been planted in his garden lately as they wouldn’t stand a chance. Cheers for the pic Justin.
Whilst looking for some tunes for a forthcoming shortwave mix we found an excellent tune from Ax Martz out of Mexico City called Coded Messages which samples a couple of well known number stations. It’s an uptempo tune as well and one that will bring a smile to you face!
On the radio this evening is a transmission celebrating shortwave radio by the Imaginary Stations crew. It’s broadcast at 2300 UTC on 9395 kHz by WRMI and is called Kearsarge North Transmission Service (KNTS). Expect some ham radio/shortwave themed music, numbers stations and Ionosphere Jazz. Here’s more about the transmission tonight:
At 15.43 into the show there’s a shortwave inspired mix from One Deck Pete featuring tunes from Shortwave Sounds, Kwook, Jodey Kendrick, Yomakomba and a shortwave exclusive of a remix of Nocturnal Emissions by Madtone. After the transmission a recording of the show will be available on their mixcloud site here.
If you’re mad about shortwave radio tune in tonight and if you haven’t a shortwave radio tune into 9395 kHz in AM mode here.
Tomorrow Sunday 6th November 2022 from 2300 UTC on 9395 kHz shortwave there will be another episode of WREN in a renaissance style. The hour long show will include tunes with “harmony that places a greater concern on the smooth flow of the music and its progression of chords.”
There’s another mix in a renaissance style from One Deck Pete at 17 minutes in featuring: Beyond the Wizards Sleeve, Deega, O.G. Jigg and Baroque Baroque. Tune in and enjoy another journey back to the time when the lute was all over the musical charts.
A record came out of the blue here for no reason at all this evening, the excellent New York Shine On Me! off the Ambient House (The Compilation By DFC) LP which we first heard on the John Peel show.
It’s a lovely acid tinged number with a driving kick drum made by someone called Aqua Regia (a chap called Akin Fernandez) originally released on Akin’s record label Irdial Discs. Little did we know at the time there would be a shortwave radio connection and also one with The Ritchie Family of “The Best Disco in town” fame as it was only tonight in the comments of the youtube we discovered the sample. You learn something new every day.
Another release on Irdial:
