Here’s hoping

The weather isn’t looking too great for the Easter weekend so who knows how much gardening we’ll get in. This week we’ve tried to do an little bit in the garden (weather permitting) after work for an hour or so. As you know a lot of small chunks out there really does add up and in the long run saves you a good bit of time.

The first tune for tonight is from a good few years ago which shamefully we’ve never heard of before or even the artist for that matter, it’s from Axel Boman and it’s called Sunrise Over Slussen. It’s on the strange side with a lovely piano riff, a great percussive sound and even some noises that Joe Meek would be very proud of towards the end. Very odd but very catchy. Lovely stuff!

The next is a cracking piece called Champion Sound Dub from Ono-Sendai Sound out of Tilburg, Netherlands. It’s a heavy understated piece and one that’s been played over and over a few times today.

And the final one from The Impossible Dreamers with a tune called Spin was heard on this week’s Rhythm Doctor’s Waiting Room on IDA Radio (Tallinn) and it’s from 1982 can you believe! What a mad tune.

There’s nothing like cheap easter egg chocolate

This weekend should be the time for gardening but will any be done this judging by the weather forecast? This nice mix of three top tunes will brighten the gloom we hope. The first from Octave Diesis called Mercure Pt.1 is a lovely number; chilled and moody how we like it here tonight (after being woke up by a B&Q delivery at 7.30 am this morning!)

The second some fine bonkersness from that island of Jamaica from the great Equiknoxx with “A rabbit spoke to me when I woke up”. Another example of excellent titled stuff from the ensemble. Dancehall but not dancehall if you see what we mean.

And finally Luca Musto with a very nice bit of deep bumpiness with a lovely vocal sample that like the 70’s chocolates Rose’s, grows on you with each play. Who needs good weather when we have tunes like these!
