Lots of fun today, got a new Dub FX box courtesy of Sitka Instruments which is suuupppeerr cool so the show's peppered with sirens like my name was Jah Shaka! Loads of great Funk too. Win :)
I'm off on a gig so handing over the reigns to the fabulous bitplanes for a guest mix. Wonderfull spacey prog, electronica, drum and bass and more, including some bitplanes originals. Lovely!
Borrowed the Koto synth from work so played with that a fair bit and played loads of great electronic, plus some new music from my next release, hopefully a more mystical experience than my last effort. Enjoy yourselves!
Records are funny, some have been through all kinds of drama yet play fine, some new ones get unexpalined hairline scratches and other's crackle like a crackhead eating Poco Pops in a witches' laugh.
Also some hot news and work in progress from me. Enjoy!
Today we get down to really important matters, should this record be played at 33, 45 or backwards? Not an easy call, only science can decide. Tune in to find out the results.
The live stream started a little late as I find myself in some weird time slip BUT when I finally got my arse into gear, came with some funky, soul, dubby hoppy fun. Hope you enjoy :)
Been after the Curtis Mayfield Live album for quite a few years and finally nabbed a copy so a bunch of tracks from that and, as seems customary on the internet, I felt compelled to react to it. No thumbnail image but feel free to use your imagination.
Don't be fooled by the show title, despite having no idea what to call today's show, it's packed full of great music, plus some unreleased and work in progress bits.
Rotated some records from the house into the shed so a few not previously played before on the show, jazz, funk, reggae and The Muppets. What's not to like?
No need to smash any like buttons. Maybe smash the state instead? Just a thought...
Started slow with some folky Americana but after the weather went to straight up bangers with some wicked Hip Hop, Electro and Breakbeats, including a horny Egyption who scores 9.5 on the Marvin scale!
So the big news the world is waking up to this morning, George, the Feline of Fahrenheit has reported a change in temperature. It is now WARM! #Fact. Lots of warm sounds from around the globe. Nice.
Also a little treat with some live audio from our recent Japan gigs, first airing on here (will reach mainstream platforms in due course I guess, I don't know. Indie-web ftw)
Currently away on family duties but here's a special one... This is a mix I did with grafitti artist Aroe back in 2008, absolutely jam packed with classic Golden Era Hip Hop from the city of Philadelphia. Loads of rarities, mash ups, special mixes and outright bangers! Hosted by Philly legends The Tuff Crew
Aroe & The Soundmakers - The Wreckshop 2008 Sleeping Giant Records.
As ever, on podcast apps, RSS, self hosted site, you know, proper internet. The only walled gardens are the walled gardens of your mind... or something.
The last of our listener guest mixes and this one's a banger! Bought to you by our Russ and it's bloody marvellous. Enjoy!!
Massive thank yous to data0, Doktor Lond, Dave and Russ for giving up their precious time to do these, I've loved listening, such a wicked, diverse selection.
All being well I'll be back on Monday and hopefully some new records from my travels!
The Kalimera Show has always been a bit of a personal tribute to the pirate radio DJs I listened to growing up. I'd tape stuff at my dad's house whenever I went to see him, most tapes got lost but fortunately, these still exist and now you can hear too :)
Extra long show today as I'm prepping for next week's gigs in Japan. There's a couple of easter eggs in this one not on the track listing, secret squirrel business.
They'll be no live streams next week BUT there will be special guest mixes from some of our regular listeners and they're bloody brilliant! So stay tuned for those, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Kalimera! No live stream today as I'm away working but here's a psychedelic mix I made last year with all sorts on it. Normal service will resume tomorrow.
