The thing to do is to play The Thing To Do by Blue Mitchell @bluenoterecords.bsky.social

Previously unissued gold from piano legend Mal Waldron.
This is Stardust & Starlight at the Jazz Showcase, captured in 1979. I love Mal Waldron, full stop.

Eclectic Corner in May looks like this. If you’re interested in how this lot sound, you will need to dial in to @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social in due course. Keywords: italo, italo, italo, synth pop and then a bit more italo… did I say italo already? Well, there will be italo…

Been way too long since we’ve had Suicide spinning. Here’s Ghost Riders

@andrewmale.bsky.social I need to tag you on this one, I feel

This is Some Shit by Al Mati, originally self released in Amsterdam in ‘81. Born in Lisbon in ‘49, real name Alberto Mesquita, he travelled across Europe and back in his quest for a better life - the sleeve notes make quite the movie script honestly. Think Space Lady et al. Ace!

Fantastic album from one of my favourite contemporary dub producers, Prince Istari. Here he’s taking on a noble task and Rids The World From The Evil Curse Of The A.I. 🙌

Library lovelies from esteemed Lebanese producer Charif Megarbane under his Cosmic Analog Ensemble moniker. This is Expo Botanica

Any old school house heads on the line this Sunday?

KLF Chill Out new artwork

Magazine’s Real Life

It’s always a pleasure when Prins Thomas releases a new album. This is Thomas Moen Hermansen, perfect Nordic cosmic disco vibes.

A little while ago I posted JS Zeiter’s sublime Context Collapse LP - here’s an EP with remixes from that album. Dub techno heads, take note

Been a fan of Andrew Hargreaves ever since his Tape Loop Orchestra and The Boats stuff. Under the Beppu name he’s become a master of dub techno and the recent Objects LP is absolutely superb. This EP collects a few remixes from said album

Sometimes - often actually - a solid deep house four tracker is all you need

Breakfast with El Huervo’s A Thing With Feathers long player released by Swedish label Pomfritt Fresh Beats back in 2020. Never thought I’d come across a copy since missing out back when it came out. Happy weekend!

Hello and welcome to the family - I’m especially happy to welcome back(!) the top one. Why I ever parted ways with you in the first place is beyond me

I wonder if Theo Parrish was taking the piss when he released the Long Walk In Your Sun / Strawberry Dragon 12”. Both sides play at 33 but they have to be pitched to the max, plus/minus respectively, to sound good to my ears. Then they sound really good too mind you :)

Awaiting a meaty delivery today just in time for the weekend, but here and now it’s Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley’s Sharpshooters doing rounds. Excellent jazz wares

So sorry to hear this, sending lots of positive thoughts and energy

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers with their ‘S Make It is up

Bit sheepish innit

Bonafide classic

The April version of the Eclectic Corner is now available to stream. Fancy a generous helping of italo disco and synth pop? Look no further :) www.mixcloud.com/MartinTHC/ec...

A Monday Monk. This is Thelonious Alone In San Francisco.

🙌

If there was ever a day to spin Well Hung, Funk Rock Eruptions From Beneath Communist Hungary, it’s today surely

You and me both 🙌

Been coming back to Theo Parrish a lot lately and here I am again. Dusty Cabinets

So, this Cockroaches 12 white label which is doing rounds today, what’s that about then?
