For the 30th instalment of the podcast I use the theme of Food & Drink to pull the music together - meaning all the records have some kind of relationship to food, drink or things that surround those topics.
As a developing episode this was one that started ‘not right’ and then came together relatively quickly to become something that Producer Bod and I are really happy with. This seems to be a situation that is happening a little more often these days - but it stands to reason as I firmly believe that it’s easier to start with SOMETHING and then pull it apart than start with nothing. Although in reality I’m always starting with something because I have records that I’ve usually spent a while collating and they’re all good to start with - so really it’s a case of trying to get something edible (as it were) from the quality ingredients.
Musically there’s the usual mix of alternative guitar-based stuff (I find it hard to think of different terminology and that seems to work as a broad catch-all) and more electronic sounds that range from electronic weirdness to straight up deep house supremacy and Detroit via The Netherlands genius. And then of course there’s the space where both of those collide…
I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers,
R
