Blitz Playlist Mixes
We’ve got together most of the tracks on the Rusty Egan playlists and put them into two hour long mixes. It hangs together so nicely with that futurism stream running through it all. Good music for a Friday.

Tony Wilson And Peter Saville In Conversation

Radio 4 / Ibiza Documentary
Life is funny sometimes. I have had the book, ‘The White Island (Two Thousand Years Of Pleasure In Ibiza)’ by Stephen Armstrong on the bookshelf for about five years and kept thinking, I’ll read that one day. Last week I picked it up and have been really enjoying it. The best bit for me was...

King Britt / A Tribute To The Loft Podcast
Over at Saturn Never Sleeps there’s a King Britt podcast in tribute to the great David Mancuso. I’m going to lift Britt’s intro wholesale as it says it all… “Last week I had the pleasure of spinning with the Robotique crew in Philadelphia. We did a special night dedicated to Dave Mancuso‘s Loft parties in...
