As regular listeners will know, the podcasts are always full of brand new music which is generally mp3 digi promos from labels and cdrs from producers. I have pretty much stopped playing vinyl on the shows, yet every day I stare at my shelves bulging under the weight of hundreds of records across many genres. I am probably never going to play much jazz in public again and I don’t have the time to listen to many records at home, so I have recently begun to wonder how I am going to get much use out of the non dancefloor stuff in my collection.
So with this in mind, I have put together an all vinyl edition of The Smugglers Inn and it was really good fun… It’s a pretty random selection with plenty of tangents including disco hip hop bootlegs, afro tinged new wave, madlib doing broken beat, techno from 1986 and some sea shanty hammond organ reggae.
I had such good fun doing this that I think I will do it again in a couple of shows time. Let me know your thoughts please..

great little selection, I did a mix a few weeks ago and dug out the Breakfast Band and The Hiroshi Fukumura… funny eh, peace love and respect from Paris
That’s pretty coincidental I would say Adam! What was weird for me was that I had never even noticed that the Earl remix of J Live I played straight after the Hiroshi track sampled Hunt Upwind. Honestly. I only noticed it when I played the J Live tune – I wasn’t trying to be clever – I remember thinking ‘that rhodes break in the middle would be a good thing to sample’ when listening to the Fukumara track. I’m getting old I reckon.
