WHATYOUWANT RADIOSHOW#65

Posted on: 06-05-2014

A little late this time out due to a heavy travelling schedule. Plenty of tunes picked up in the past few months though, so lots of new old vinyl for show 65!

Before we get into that though, the new single from Jungle. XL Records have these guys, I went out and bought their previous two singles on the strength of ‘Busy Earnin’’ – check!

Midnight Marauders, TCQ’s third LP turned 20 last year so I’ve dug out ‘Award Tour’ for you – still sounds marvelous. Get the LP if you slept on it back in the day is WYWR’s advice.

Apollo Brown is a tip from Ad Trax – and how! I understand new LP came out this week, will be getting that and I suggest you do too.

Then we go 1.5 hours of vinyl recorded in the company of Domammu back at the end of March – how we were flying. It’s a mix that’s heavy on the classic sound, made up of bits and pieces I’d found recently in Seattle, Amsterdan and Leiden, along with some bits dug out from the main collection. Lewis Taylor (good God, Lewis Taylor was ahead of his time), America, (check the Wichita Lineman lift) Deniece Williams (Stepney on the production), Bob James (mucho sampled), Les Mcann and Eddie Harris (live!), John Klemmer (jazz!), Young Holt Unlimited and Charles Earland (more jazz!), Quincy Jones (60s soundtrack king), Johnny Guitar Watson (has a hard head), Elkin and Nelson (Vamonos!), Batteaux (Balearic!), Crosby, Stills and Nash (bearded), Steely Dan (Toolan’s favourite guitar solo), Bill Withers (Beedle on the edit), Candido (super-rare) and finally ELO (just super). Hope you enjoy this.

Not much more to say except that Delorean Dynamite is off the ace new Todd Terje lp and Calabria is the kinda house that WYWR likes very much, out on 100% Silk. Big love to all, hope the spring is properly sprung if you’re in the north, and that it’s not got too cold too soon in the south. Onwards to #66!
