Put on that silk dressing gown, plonk an imaginary cigarette into a long and stylish cigarette holder, mix yourself a cocktail of what’s available in the fridge and sit back and enjoy the studio version of last night’s Skybird Supper Club Imaginary Lounge programme on WRMI. There’s some great chilled lounge tunes and a nice relaxed vibe as they say.

At 11.55 in is One Deck Pete with his Lounging on the shortwaves mix and here’s the tracklisting:
Godspeed – Nightcrawling  (Excerpt)
Monodrone – Solitary feeling
Dub Addiction – Ecological Dub (Calm Down Remix)
Gore – 06
Godspeed – Nightcrawling  (Excerpt)

Enjoy the show!

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.

Fancy listening to an hour of music made by a wide range of instruments your music teacher didn’t encourage you to take up?
If so KZOO is on 9395 kHz shortwave at 2200 UTC tomorrow Sunday 22nd May 2022 via WRMI. There’s güiros a go-go, a toy piano here and there and some jaw harp thrown in for good measure. Also at 23 mins in is a mix from One Deck Pete called “Feeding time at KZOO”. Tune in and enjoy!
