Finally back with Season Two of The In-Tray and The Golden Hour. Took a bit longer to get this sorted due to one thing and another (real world shit getting in the way as usual) but it’s finally ready, and there should be at least half-a-dozen episodes between now and the summer, if all goes according to plan.

Anyways, here’s Episode 1 of The In-Tray, packed full of fine unusual sounds plucked from recent releases, details of the tunes and where you can buy them can be found below – hope you enjoy!

Hey folks, here’s The Golden Hour #5 – the double A-side accompaniment to Episode 5 of our radio show “The In-Tray”.

This time we’ve got a real mix of left-turns, start off ambient, yet banging, yet jazzy… and then brighter and more melodic, and then somewhere else entirely. All probably as expected, and very enjoyable too, even if we do say so ourselves.

Hey folks, here’s The Golden Hour #3 – the double A-side accompaniment to Episode 3 of our radio show “The In-Tray”.

This Golden Hour is a little different, as after having a cracking time at Le Guess Who festival in Utrecht last month, I thought I’d try and condense our entire festival experience into a Golden Hour, not least as a personal reminder of who we actually got to see – I think it works, see what you think…

Back again with the second episode of “The Golden Hour”, a one-hour (see what we did there?) DJ mix that will accompany each episode of “The In-Tray”.

Following on from the style of our Lockdown Radio mixes, each one will be a random deep dive into different sections of the DJ box, this one getting very spacious in the 160 realm, layering up a few classics with some more modern beats and sequences, getting deeper and deeper as the hour progresses, and there’s a rather cheeky off-the-cuff bollywood n bass mash in there to boot!

Hope you enjoy!

Back again with episode 2 of “The In-Tray”, which, if you don’t already know, is a radio show / podcast-style hour of some cracking new & recent releases, plenty of which don’t really fit into any of the DJ mixes we’re doing, but we still wanted to give them a big-up and bring them to your attention.

This is the first episode of “The Golden Hour”, a one-hour (see what we did there?) DJ mix that will accompany each episode of “The In-Tray”.

Following on from the style of the Lockdown Radio mixes, each one will be a random deep dive into different sections of the DJ box, the first one taking in some slinky psychedelic rock, new turkish funk, a few obscure crate digs and a very spontaneous slice of live mashing between two legends. And then some!

We thought splitting the show in two would be useful, so folks can enjoy a fresh “chat-free” mix if they’re not in the mood for my dulcet tones.

We’re hoping to be doing one “pair” of these every few weeks, but we’ll see how it goes… if you have suggestions of new tunes for the In-Tray, send ’em in, that’s what it’s there for.

As always, hope you enjoy!
