Slow Dance Radio 25/5/20

Back on Slow Dance's lockdown radio. A quite bonkers mix - kicked off with some PC Music and a touch of Steps nightcore before slowing it down with some easy-listening. Then jumped into a bit of Ween, before doing a quick pan-African tour, and ending with a cover of Elvis's 'Suspicious Minds' from Sweden.

Along the way I span Ben Zeki De Roa of the Ivory Coast, Mahmoud Awad's acid dabke, French harpist Ange Halliwell, and Italian American synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani.

Bookended this show with brand new music. More Eaze's 'Progress In Therapy', released on Orange Milk Records in April, opened the show. To close the show I played Zellerbach, the lead single from Aaron Space & His Terrestrial's debut album Fishland. The record's out on Moon Glyph on May 22nd. In between, I span Johnny Dupont's organ interpretation of Ebb Tide, a track from Portuguese musician Negra Branca (also of Gnod), and a lovely sprawling song from Oromo Ethiopian singer Abebe Abeshu.

This episode kicked off with a recording of Pink Shabab live on Quarantunes, a YouTube channel that has been hosting livestream gigs during lockdown. I had the privilege of curating last Friday's show, with Pink Shabab, Platonica Erotica, Julian Lynch and Martha Skye Murphy performing live from their homes to celebrate the launch of Elevate. You can catch up on the whole stream here. Next up was the beautiful 'Kajyadhi Fu Bushi', which sounds like traditional Japanese folk music with Pet Sounds arrangements (the beds of horns, particularly). That was followed by K. K.'s No. 2 of Ghana, and a duo of tunes from the brilliant Zach Phillips. The Wiregrass singers' gospel/Sacred Harp music followed, before I closed with Jockstrap's new single.
