DJ History Podcast #100

Woo. We're 100 podcasts old. We were fully expecting a telegram from the Queen, but came there nothing. Honestly, the least we could've expected was a phone call from Big Phil moaning about all them foreigners we play on the show.

Anyhow, we thought we'd play some of our favourite tracks from the past two years, including some stuff from compilations we liked that have been released since January 2009. Here they are.

SOFT ROCKS - Leave Your Earth Behind
D. EDWARDSON, S. SELL - Cutting The Funk
JOHN DALY - This Is A Lonely Beat
NAUM GABO -Volgograd
TELE MUSIC - Baby's Band (LeoZero Edit)
ZWICKER -Oddity (Pilooski Remix)

MOCK & TOOF - Lovehearts (Tiny Sticks)
IFEEL STUDIO - The Coptic Sun
HOLY GHOST! - Static On The Wire (DFA)

Yes, even I am allowed to go away and sun myself sometimes, you know, though it has to be said we could have made a wiser choice than Mablethorpe.

DJ History Podcast #75

Hello happy shoppers. Tis the day of the Fri and that can only mean one thing. Well, two things: fish must be eaten for one, but then also the DJ History podcast is broadcasting from a metaphorical tower block somewhere near you.

Loads of ace stuff on the show today, including another track from Matthew Dear's new album Black City, which has got to be one of the contenders for album of the year (along with Caribou and Mock & Toof). I'm desperately trying to get all my work done so I can spend the afternoon with the kids (hope the weather perks up a bit, the sun's gone for its lunch, I think).

Anyhow, here you go:

FLOWERS AND SEA CREATURES - At Night (Buzzin' Fly)
T-COY - Carino (MCDE Mix)
ANTIPOP CONSORTIUM - Volcano (Four Tet Remix) (Ninja Tune)
RICCARDO CIONI & DJ FT BAND - Fog (Extended Mix)
