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.

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.

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.
