I currently play on Purple Radio (PC stream is here. Mac stream is here). See below for setlists, archived shows etc.

I buy all of my music, whether it's on CD, vinyl or as a download. Although I'm not a big fan of big business and what it has done to the music industry I do believe that artists should be rewarded for the work they do. If you like the music you hear in any of these mixes or archived shows then do the right thing: support the people who made it by seeking it out and buying it for yourself. You should be able to find most of it on Dancetracks Digital, Traxsource or Juno Downloads. Here endeth the lesson ;-)

Occasional shows: Jez's Laidback Luncheon,  Jazz Club, Radio Too, The Wooden Hill, The Tracks of My Tears, Deep Purple, Mellow Mellow and All Back to Ours
Autumn Tunes: A one-off I did one Sunday evening of fire-side tunes, ranging from folk to electronica. Audio and track listing.

Pick of the Pops: This is series of shows on Purple Radio where Purple DJs and listeners alike pick out the finest pop music moments. Here is the audio for my contribution and a track listing.

Re-Rub Club: A weekly show for Purple Radio DJs to play their favourite remixes, re-rubs and bootlegs. Here is my selection and the track listing.

Jazz Club: A  weekly slot on Purple Radio which is taken by different DJs each week.  Here is the audio for the first ever show and the track listing. I've done two more shows since then: 31st May 2009 (audio and track listing) and 7th June 2009 (audio and track listing)

All Back to Ours: a series of late Friday night (midnight to 2am) shows on Purple Radio where PR regulars and guests spin their back from the pub/club selection. Here's my effort and the track listing for it.

The Tracks of My Tears: a regular fortnightly series for Sunday lunchtimes on Purple Radio where PR DJs play the soundtrack to sorrow and loss. Audio download and track listing.
 
The Wooden Hill: Late night ambient tunes to ease you into the early hours which I broadcast as a one-off in June 2008. The track listing is here and you can get the audio here.

Radio Too: I did a Monday afternoon broadcast in April 2008 for a couple of hours which was a pretty random collection of pop, rock and electronica, but all of it fairly easy on the ears. Audio is here and the track listing is here.

Laidback Luncheon: The first of an irregular series of shows aired on Sunday 3rd Februrary 2008. A selection of jazz, songs and ambience to go with your roast and that Sunday lunchtime pint of bitter. Here's the setlist and you can download the audio from here. The next luncheon went out a year later on Sunday 22nd February 2009, here is the audio and the track listing.

Deep Purple is an opportunity for regular PR DJs to dig into the deeper recesses of their record collections. Here is the audio for my effort and the track listing.

Mellow Mellow is a Sunday lunchtime show. Audio and track listing.

Throbbing Couch - my fortnightly radio show
This show has been running for over two years now. It goes out 7-9pm (UK time) every other Saturday. The format and styles of tunes vary but typically there are bits and pieces of electronic funk, old disco tunes along with some downtempo stuff for the first hour or so, followed by a house mix for the final hour.

The Sunday Service
The Sunday Service is back at the best pub in York! On the last Sunday of every month from 3pm until midnight we take over the Three Legged Mare for 9 hours of quality music from resident DJs myself, Andy Devine, Glenn Sweetman and Jethro Bagust alongside special guests. January is our fallow month, but we'll be back soon.

Sunday Service 2009 flyer

Musically pretty much anything goes - as long as it's on a chilled out and/or groovy tip. We've recorded some mixes at previous events which should give you an idea (click on the links to download the audio):

The Horizontal
A short-ish laid back mix I did a few years ago for a friend of mine. He's had it as his exclusive for long enough, now it's your turn to have a listen! Lots of good stuff: gel-sol, Vector Lovers, Man in Formaldehyde to name a few.

download mix (64 kbps .mp4, AAC+)


Throbbing Couch
Electronic funk, acidic jazz and other grooves.

Flam-grilled
Deep, and occasionally wonky, house grooves. It starts with Adam Johnson's utterly beautiful four square and ends with an early Deep Dish remix of pre-Ima BT.

Playtime

This mix was a rehearsal/warmup session I put to DAT in preparation for an appearance at Playtime in London, hence the name, four years ago. It’s not totally clang-free and it takes the odd wrong turn but there’s lots of fabulous records on here (and it was just a rehearsal, mkay?). Incidentally, Playtime as both a club night and a record label has gone onto great things. I thoroughly recommend you check out Mike Monday’s Smorgasboard. Some great tracks on there including zum-zum, my dancefloor tune of 2006 – fabulous groove, great production.

Watermark
An oldie but a goodie. This is a mix I did as part of a 3 CD set with Simon Strick and Monkaiboy as a homage to the great time we'd just had at the Big Chill do in Naxos in 2001. It was a fantastic experience and I hope some of the sun-drenched magic of that time is captured in this mix.
