The Current State of Music – Details, episodes & analysis

Here is a new live show for you, I do apologise for the lack of regular live shows recently. Life really does serve up some curveballs sometimes and its been either untimely or just impossible to get some space behind the decks and organise my thoughts into a show. In the meantime, I hope you’ve been enjoying the archive shows.

However, I did carve some space this week, and this show will be broadcast on Totally Wired Radio at 2pm this Saturday, right up against Jamz Supernova and Gilles Peterson, so I guess I’m aiming at the listen again crew. Shout out to you guys listening again, love ya x

I’ve been sat surrounded my music making equipment in my studio, but recently I’ve been mostly working for clients, mixing their tracks, which I love BTW, helping other realise the music in their heads is what drives me forward and is so rewarding, but I do occasionallly like to indulge myself in some of my own self initiated creativity. Its almost impossible at the moment to find the space to do so, so I thought I’d start this show with a piece of my own, to remind me (and maybe you) that I do create music myself. Its a track called Exhale, and I hope it acts as a sort of auditory ‘amuse bouche’ before we head off on musical adventures.

I kick off with some new music, my inbox has been lsowly filling up with new music, so I thought it mught be nice to get into some of that, Alina and Tulsi getting a remix of their latest work, then the Heliocentrics and Marshall Allen bringing some heat with Nuclear War.

I feel confident to get into places that are maybe outside where many dj’s go, and I sometimes wonder what all this music means. I’ve done a bit of DJing out and about, at sea level and above 3000m, and I can’t quite balance all this different music I am into, but I think I’m getting there, knowing when to lean into the fringes and when to go all in on some bangers. The set I did for Chip Wickhams warm up that I put out a few weeks ago felt like a good example of that.

So we go some places, Ganavya, Anoushka (whom I love) Dorothy Ashby and into some DJ Khalab, both new and old sitting together nicely.

I upped the energy with some D’n’B and then a couple of stompers, which I’ll be taking in my bag for any gigs this summer, but then I fancied heading to the fringes again, new music from Sault, Mr Bongos incoming Record Club Vol 8 and Momoko Gill.

I”ve been thinking about doing a Nick Drake and related music show for a while, I’m still not sure if I”m going to do it, but I wanted to play a few bits from vinyl I”ve bought over the last few months, so there is a track by his mother, Molly, some of his own rare home recordings and a version of a Burt Jansch track. Black Eyed Dog is a powerfully sad track that appeared toward the end of his recording career and, in retrospect, could be seen as a sign he was struggling. Then I found a version of that by Self Esteem, whom I just listened to on the Adam Buxton podcast and really rate. Before a version of Pink Moon and then Andy Beys’ seminal version of Riverman, which I might like even more than the orginal.

I’ve been listening to a lot of artists work recently as I’m actively looking for more artists to mix tracks for, and came across this song by Simone Tang which stopped me in my tracks. Its an unusual album which is a little eccentric and sweet and this track does it for me, hoping you dig it too…

Finishing with a little Fairport Convention with their version of Chelsea Morning, which I hadn’t heard before, always going for the Joni or Jennifer versions, so it was a nice suprise to find this in a box set of Nick Drake adjacent (Joe Boyd worked with them too) music I picked up at King Bee in Manchester and couple of months ago.

Making these shows is a lifeline for me at the moment and I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I do sharing this music with you. Feel free to send to friends.

See you soon

Happy Sunday (or whatever day you are on when you receive this) but for me its a Sunday. I’ve got a few jobs to do and I’m gonna cook a roast, it’s that sort of day. And this show has started very much in that vein with a track from Nils Frahm then into his old label mate, Ben Lucas Boysen. This start is very much in the tradition of how I used to start shows, easing slowly in, a reset if you will, before heading into musical adventures to who knows where.

Quite the ethereal start, traversing many worlds, which I hope gave your brain a place to unwind, then into some Dee C Lee and Tara Lily and heading towards the mighty Ezra Collective and The Ballistic Brothers, tunes I’m gonna make a note of for any summer dancefloor action I might be in charge of…

Its quite funny hearing Amanda Whiting’s ‘Nomad’ a tune (and album) I produced. I haven’t revisited this for a while for various reasons, but it still sounds epic and I’m very much not getting that thing that producers get a few years after working on something where you can kinda hear where you were and how far you’ve come since. So, either I did a good job, or I haven’t progressed, lets hope its the former.

Whats quite mad about this show is how quickly digital promos come in and out of my conciousness. I’m listening back to this hearing music I can’t remember every hearing, but give me the vinyl and it sticks in my brain. So, it feels like some of this stuff is new, even though it’s now a few years old.

Heading into Hip Hop world, coincidentally playing the A Side to the Q Tip track in last weeks archive show, Breathe and Stop, then heading homewards with some feel good funk, which I normally don’t go near because of Craig Charles, but every now and again, some slips out.

I enjoyed hearing this show again, so hopefully you’ll like it. I’ll have some new music and a new show for you next week, keep it locked xxx

I hit upon the idea to create a mix to celebrate the 25th Anniversay of Endtroducing, Shadows seminal debut album, to coincide with a special reissue of the record. Lets be clear, no-one, least of all Shadow himself, asked for this, but I’ve been a fan since seeing him spin tunes at the Blue Note in Hoxton all those years ago and I thought it could be interesting to see if I could bring anything to his canon of work.

After spending a long time going through all the various vinyl I have of his, ripping anything I didn’t have already, finding weird B sides and white labels until I knew I had everything I could possibly have amongst my collection.

In typical form, I had an idea of where I wanted to start, but no real plan after that, hoping the DJ gods and the 10,000 hours I’ve amassed behind the turntables, turn up and guide my way.

This is a mix I am genuinely proud of, it feels like culmination of everything I have learned about DJing, both technical and musical, trusting my instincts to tell his story. There are moments where, imagining its a mix I’m hearing on the radio, I have a smile on my face because I know something good has just happened.

I’m not generally one to consider anything I’ve done is good enough, so this is a nice rare moment for me, where I actually think I’ve created something that I am proud of and stands up against anything my heroes might have done.

Obviously, you might want to be a DJ Shadow fan to listen to this, or maybe you’ve never heard of DJ Shadow, in which case, I implore you to give this is a listen, he is an artist that doesn’t rest on his past successes and continually strives for new sounds amongst an ever changing landscape.

Enjoy

I enter the festive season with the best intentions, I’m gonna make a lot of beef stew, have mulled wine with friends everyday, wear a scarf and generally be as festive as fuck.

As with most people, I guess, those good intentions fall foul of real life and all its time sapping things… so I don’t do as much festive-ing as I’d like.

Nils Frahm used to do these beautiful Christmas mixes and Fred Deakin always drops a banging mix at this time, and I wish I had the prior planning abilities, or the headspace to be as regular as my heroes.

So, it seems, at best, I start this old show from 2017 with these intentions, dropping Frank Eddies’ version of East 17s’ Stay Another Day, and how glorious is it? However, as it was a show that went out on boxing day, and possibly live, I wasn’t so prepared as to carry on in that vein.

However, it is a round up of 2017 with some incredible music.

2017 was the year I think I spent the most of vinyl, and it was quite the year for music, so it seems at least I was in the right place at the right time with enough money to expand my record collection.

So this goes back to when I used to do regular three hour shows, which is quite some work, but I kinda liked digging in for that extra hour, it really gave me time to breathe and play a ranging show, I guess I could do it again, if I wanted to?

I did a round up of 2025 last week on my main show, which you can go back to check out, but I hope you enjoy this one, from 8 (jeez) years ago, which only feels like yesterday.

I hope you all had a good Christmas and wishing you a great start to 2026.

Love, as always.

I hope 2025 has been kind to you.

There has been lots of great music set against the increasing insanity of the world.

Personally, I’ve been working on a diverstiy of projects, I’m not sure my feet hit the ground that much, when they do it’s usually to fall into bed exhausted by the days, or at least thats how it feels.

One thing is for sure, I’ve bought, been sent and listened to a tonne of new music this year.

My shows are usually made up of about 50% new stuff and the rest (OK, 50%) is a wander into my vinyl collection, increasingly trying to find records I’ve forgotten, or only played the ‘big’ track from and digging a little deeper. Sometimes it’s inspired by whats happened between shows, and, if I wasn’t doing a round up, I’ve fallen back in love with Madonnas ‘Like a Prayer’ and found a copy on 12” (which is going to my daughter for Christmas, shhhh, don’t tell her)

I’ve found, after years of going about things, that unashamedly using real life to inspire selections, whether its a new record, a new to me record, something I’ve heard on the radio or blasting out of someones window, really satisfying. I hope you are getting to know me a little more through the show, and I’d be delighted if anything sparks your interest or reminds you of something else, or you have something you think I’ll dig, then please do get in touch.

If I had to recommend two records from 2025, I’d point you to Chip Wickhams’ ‘The Eternal Now’, on Gondwana Records, which, I was lucky enough to help bring into the world. It is Chips’ finest work to date and worth the two years spent making it.

The other record, which seems to have come about just at the right time for me, is William Tyler and Kieran Hebdens ‘41 Longfield Street Late 80’s’. A beautiful mix of acoustic guitar and electronics, chords and melodies which evoke Nick Drake (yep, I’m still in that groove) and its just a wondrous thing, and an odd thing, and I”m pleased that records like this are being pressed onto vinyl for the small amount of people who will fall head over heels with it, as I have.

I hope you enjoy this show and I wish you all a merry, peaceful Christmas, and I’ll be back with you in the New Year, looking forward to all it brings.

Peace

As is quite often the case, I’ll hear a track and won’t be able to get past it for a while. I’ll bore friends endlessly, I’ll play it on the radio insessantly, I’ll shoehorn it into live sets and it was definitely the case with a particular track by Anna Meredith.

Nautilus is an incredible piece of music, it almost so doesn’t work, but yet it does. It was pretty much the only piece of work I had listened to of Anna’s when I tracked her down ahead of her appearance at Brightons Mutations Festival and I’m afraid to admit this wasa. tough interview. Not because Anna wasn’t generous and lovely, she was and is, but I think I nearly pulled it because I hadn’t had a chance to prepare, and was possibly in the middle of some sort of famiy crisis.

But, you only live once, as Del Boy said, so I decided to jump in anyway and hopefully it isn’t too bad, and I was in the middle of obsessing over this one track.

I have since gone back and dug into her back catalogue and she has gone on to do many great things, so it didn’t ruin either of our careers.

So, this show was built around the interview and her work, giving me full range to lean into the corners of my world, inspired by her work.

Hope you enjoy it. x

So, my friend and colleague, Sinah, also known as Ea Akilat sent over the latest episode of her podcast and asked me if I wanted to include it in my show.

Of course I do! I love her taste in music and I am helping her with her own music, with, hopefully, some collaborations between us coming in 2026.

I played a little B2B set a a local record shop on Saturday and the theme was the best of the year, so the first hour is all vinyl tracks I’ve bought this year, most of which has been released this year. Nick Drake being the exception, but regular listeners know I am in a NIck Drake groove at the moment and I can’t see myself coming out of anytime soon.

Sinahs mix is all about Airwaves Festival and she has discovered some amazing stuff, so stay tuned for that. I don’t have a tracklist so get shazamming!

This is what I played:

William Tyler and Kieron Hebden - If I Had a Boat/Spider Ballad

Ah man, I’m in a terrible rush today. Getting through a long list of jobs before I travel to France tomorrow for some work related things (and some fun hopefully) and I wanted to send out a show from the archives.

So I just listened to one of my early shows from 1BTN or 1 Brighton FM as it was known and, not to blow my own trumpet, the music is simply incredible!

I used to do my show live, and it was recorded off the broadcast feed, no-one really knew what they were doing, so the sound isn’t amazing, and I used to throw records in a bag and trundle off into Hove and see what happens. I’m pretty certain this show is 100% vinyl, although there may be a couple of tracks in there that never got a pressing, so maybe I had some digital stuff with me, but I’m quite astounded by the breadth of music I had taken along.

There is some stuff in there you’ll definitely know, like the opener Will Powers (which is a also a good psotove affirmation if you need it) Lemon Jelly, one of my all time favourites from Sebastien Tellier, even Van Halen and the Beach Boys!

But then there are some deeper cuts which I hope you love as much as me. I love Derek Gripper and his amazing guitar playing, Treva Whatevas’ Bouncing Bomb always brings a smile, and I think this is the first time I ever thoguht about mixing the Transglobal Underground into the Ewok Theme from Star Wars, a move I usually reserve for any show broadcast on May the 4th. I wonder what led me there?

So this ia three hour show with plenty of twists and turns, and I’m rather proud of myself from 2017 for being bold enough to go to all these places.

Most DJ’s have a style. or a genre and I’ve always hated that and, if I’m honest, its always worked against me as a DJ because its hard to know where to put me, I get that.

However, looking back as a proof of being someone who is deeply motivated by music and has a sizeable bag to delve into for inspiration and references when working with artists, I think I’m doing OK.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did relistening to it.

See you soon

Wotcha, this is my latest show for Totally WIred and for you Substackers, man, its been a hectic couple of weeks and my brain has been not storing the inspiration it usually does, so when it came to putting this show together, I had to lean back on my vinyl collection and my musical instincts to slowly creep through this one.

Saying that though, Melanie Be Biasio looks like she has done a couple of gigs recently, sadly, for me, in her homeland of France, but that did remind me of her last album, which I love and you should too. In fact,, you should go listen to everything Melanie has done, she is incredible. She did send me a postcard for all the love and support I’ve shown her over the years, it’s a much treasured possesion.

I then played a bit more of that William and Kieran (Four Tet) record which is doing it for me, I like the acoustic guitar matched with electronica, its got my brain whirring…

So I can do a little self promotion, I played Nara Back by Chip Wickham, which I co produced. Its sounds so good on vinyl and the vocals are out of this world. My poor tired brain can’t handle the fact they were recorded right by where I am typing this, they sound otherworldy.

The new Sault record has been largely unlistened to by me, so a track had to be played.

Then a little journey into XL recordings Richard Russell’s Everything is Recorded, which is a stunning record with some heavy colabs, then into the Jamie XX/Gil Scott Heron colab from a few years back, again on XL.

Into a little mix (but not Little Mix) with an old Scruff remix, nicely into brand new Oliver Night feat Roots Manuva, into Cabin Dance and then Jazzanova. That led me to a tune from Gilles Petersons ‘INCredible Sound of’ album for the track by Incognito. I’m generally not a fan of Brit Funk or whatever its called, but this remix is top notch.

Briefly into some orchestral moves with Godtet and then London Symphony doing the Star Wars end theme, then a massive swerve into Crooked Mans remix of Jarvis Cockers ‘Cunts are stilll Running the World’ which seems as apt as ever.

Then a bunch of new bits (apart from Ezra Collective)to finish up and there we go, another two hours of music, which I hope will prick your ears, make your head nod, give you a little solace and make your world a little better.

Digging into my archive of radio shows, I decided to go as far back as I could, and, as it happened, it threw up this show from 2016, which I still remember recording down in the 1 Brighton FM (now 1BTN) bunker.

As I mentioned on an archive show from a couple of weeks ago, I recreated the soundtrack to a snowboard movie that was very influential, and I got to do that because of a mix I had put together for the premiere of a movie. Well, this is that mix, which I performed live on the radio, then unplanned, I carried in the same vein to close out the 2 hour show.

I remember being carried away by the enthusiam on the chat box, and where I normally finished the set on the classic ‘Once in a Lifetime’ I dug deep for some of my favourite tracks from snowboard movies that hadn’t made the planned mix for one reason or another…

The 90’s and 2000’s were a golden era for snowboard (and skate) movies, technology had made it easier for anyone to make something half decent and that unlocked a lot of creative individuals to make seminal movies without much outside help.

And the sound tracks to those movies, sought after on VHS or DVD and watched on repeat, because the soundtracks to our lives, and rightly so, I mean, look at this tracklist, and it only really scratches the surface and they are all legit bangers.

So, I hope you enjoy this one and much as I remember putting it together, please share with your friends who might appreciate this one, and don’t forget, thats winter is on its way… x
