    Winter 2025

    Fresh from seeing Gary Bartz live in London this starts and ends with tracks he plays on. It goes to many points along the way, from Drum and Bass to Two Step- concluding my recent listening and inspiration. I hope this helps get you through the winter.

    Autumn 25 (D'Angelo)

    It's often cathartic to conclude a period of listening, researching and appreciating records by trying to make a coherent radio show of them. There's always a lot of music to get through and this just scratches the surface. The show is mainly 45s, which is not my regular format but I had to set parameters I could adhere to and challenge myself. The day before this show, D'Angelo died and so it features a few of my favourite D'Angelo songs. In my opinion he was the best we had in this music we love for the last 30 years. When Brown Sugar was released it blew me away with its accomplished sound. Of course it was also hugely influential. What a loss he will prove to be.

    A Slow Re-Emergence

    It's been a while since I recorded a radio show or stood behind my decks. Other matters and some unhelpful Apple policies haven't helped. Naturally I have continued to purchase records. My technics have a new location where I can work undisturbed so perhaps I'll put up more shows. Despite being very out of practice and touch this was a nice opportunity to record some things I'm listening to and test the equipment- no bells and whistles. If inspiration comes my way I'll leave another show up here & on my Mixcloud 🙏🏻

  7. The Neptunes (Part 1)

    The Neptunes (Part 1)

    The Rare Groove Show selects favourite tracks produced and performed by Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams, as The Neptunes and NERD. Every track is played from vinyl collected over the past 20+ years. The Neptunes are some of my favourite producers and masters of the bridge and chord change. I see them as heirs to producers such as The Mizell Brothers, although thay have operated in a more populist sphere. This show was first broadcast on www.shoreditchradio.co.uk during July 2021. Part 2 will follow.
