I'm making my We Are The Sunset debut on Sunday 9th June at Between The Bridges. If you are in town come on down. It would be lovely to catch up with people and enjoy some tunes with Andy. I've taken all the doomy shoegaze synth stuff out the bags (it will return in October), it's all light and breezy for the next few months. Andy says there's potential dancing, so hold tight! Loads of street food, Family and dog friendly. 4.30 till 10.30.

Just had a little trip down memory lane on Mixcloud. Found my first mix I did for the isolation station right at the start of lockdown. It was called 'Back Together' which in hindsight was pretty wishful thinking. It's pretty bumpy in parts, which is unusual for my mixes..! They got more depressing and shoegazey as we stretched into the lockdown monotony. Track list in the comments.

Dancefloor selection with balearic bits and acid nuggets

Really Great eclectic LP here from Mike Wilson from over in Dublin. Definitely NOT Balearic by numbers this one. Not offen I hear stuff that has THAT feeling. Oddball nuggets for days here. I know we get bombarded with loads stuff to listen to but this is worth a quick 5 mins (which if like me will turn into a few hours). As a bonus all proceeds are kindly donated to charity, pick your our amount. Worthy of a vinyl release Mike!

7 track album
