Smugglers Inn Radio Tonight @ http://www.myhouse-yourhouse.net from 7-9pm GMT
Smugglers Inn Radio returns to the digital airwaves tonight crammed full of new music from the likes of Greg Wilson, Domu, Bottin, Telepathe, Debruit, Forces of Nature, Time and Space Machine, Cuckoo Clocks, Soiree, Leandre and many more..
Best of all though there’s a cracking Electro/Italo guestmix from one half of Heartbreak Ali Renault which features tracks by John Carpenter, Electrick Dragon, Shake, Randy Barracuda and loads more ace stuff.
Ali Renault
Ali is one half of Italo Pop duo Heartbreak who have conquered many a teenage girls heart as part of the recent NME Radar tour as well as releasing a massively acclaimed Lies album on Lex which has led to them performing all over the world. I was lucky enough to catch them in the Guardian lounge this year at Glastonbury and I was blown away by the power of the music and their delivery of the punchy synth heavy stompers.
Ali is a very busy guy though so he’s also been producing music for Andy Blakes Uber cool Dissident label, putting together a new EP for the acclaimed Moustache Records, co-running the Magic Waves Italo label and festival and also helping to run the tougher Cyber Dance and Human Sheild imprints. Plus playing quite a few tasty international DJ gigs to boot.
After hearing the fantastic new Flemming Dallum compilation forthcoming on Magic Waves (more info here- http://www.headsdown.org/?p=442) I asked Ali to put together a mix of quality Italo and Electro and he certainly delivered. It’s great to get something really specialist on the show so massive thanks to Ali for doing such a dope mix!
