Resonance FM 28/4/20

Another Elevate-themed show. This time I exclusively span tracks from the record, kicking off with Platonica Erotica's beautifully melancholic 'Safe In Adoration (Home Edition)' and ending with Norwegian improv collective DNA? AND?'s 'Wiwalu Wiwayu Maskat'. Between those were cuts by Pink Shabab, Woo, Tara Clerkin and Ted Mair - four wickedly interesting and intelligent pieces of music that I'm very proud to have on the record. Elevate was released on April 27th. You can buy the album here.

Slow Dance Radio 27/4/20

Slow Dance Radio has taken a new lockdown-friendly form and has been airing some fantastic stuff - not least SD boss Marco Pini's "Quarantini" (where he's spun tracks from DTT friends Platonica Erotica and Ted Mair). I put together a special hour-long mix which was aired on Elevate's release day. It includes tracks from Elevate sandwiched between other favourites of mine from the likes of Blanche Blanche Blanche, Eartheater and Jun Arasaki & Nine Sheep. It's a mostly very gentle and meditative mix. Check it out below.

Resonance FM 21/4/20

Back to business as usual after a short interlude of re-runs. On this episode I played a track from Jerskin Fendrix's phenomenal debut album before spinning tracks from Japanese singer and actress Yukako Hayase and Martin Newell's influential DIY rock project Cleaners From Venus. A triptych of top tracks followed, starting with Moondog's charming 'My Tiny Butterfly', followed by a solo reed performance of some sort from Cameroon, and finally a lovely track from the "Queen of Czechoslovakian chanson." To close the show I premiered Masahiro Takahashi's new track 'Dancers', the final song on the new Dig That Treasure compilation album Elevate. Takahashi's beautiful and otherworldly closer is the last of twelve amazing songs - he is preceded by Platonica Erotica, Spectral Park & Kot Kot, Litter Frog, Pink Shabab, Woo, Aaron Space & His Terrestrial Underlings, DNA? AND?, Julian Lynch, Tara Clerkin, Ted Mair and Martha Skye Murphy. Elevate is released in full on April 27th. You can preorder the album here.
