Last night when researching the next mix for the shortwaves we came across the wonderfully brilliant The Sound of Shellac from Norway on Bandcamp. Talk about an eclectic mix of musical madness and available in a name your price style. Here’s a few of our favourites but do have a look at the site and explore!
Socialism Train – 19 in a socialist reggae style
Big thanks to Steve Barker from the excellent On The Wire on BBC Radio Lancashire for supplying this ace reggae chart for us. On The Wire has been playing the best in reggae, dub, electronica, ambient and all sorts of eclectic business weekly for over 30 years and is available Saturday midnight here and available on listen again here.
So here’s the tunes and there’s some crackers on here. If the tune is not featured, click on the links to view on youtube.

“It is what it is” the eclectic radio show from Laurent Garnier has been keeping me sane since returning to work after the festive break. Show 17 (22nd December) features one bonkers minimal ambient tune from Sylvain Chauveau called “An nombre des choses” from an LP on Fat Cat. All shows are downloadable too! Excellent stuff.
