@Joe - will do! Thanks.
Iāve been putting together various corners of my music during all this palava. Compiled themes and genres as they appear, then they live on the floor for a few weeks before making their way into a mix eventuallyā¦
Looking forward to getting into other peoples collections on here as well!
Nice work TP on the forum, thanks 
Transatlantic Roots - 1972-1983
Recorded in a recent session with my friend and sonic colleague Johnny Craven, we pulled out and strung together a roots compilation from Count Ossie to Aswad. Pure Sunday vibes.

In 2019 I was the resident DJ in the crafty garden area at Shambala festival, which has these amazing pods and ponds created by a company called hortisculptures. They travel round lots of UK festivals so you may have seen their work. My favourite experience was playing on the very hot and sunny Sunday afternoon with people just flopped about dangling their feet in the water to cool down.
This is an ambient mix I did inspired by the space and is based around the water cycle. Thinking back to the weekend feels like a different world that I canāt wait to get back to, fingers crossed the festival will be back on this year, if it is Iāll be playing in a giant onion!
Since playing there I have been consciously collecting records that I think will work in the space, particularly with sounds of water and nature in, itās amazing how much you find when you start looking.

Love the fact thereās so many mixes of a ambient/new age/balearic variety. Music for wide open spaces.
Homage to Detroit ā¦Dark Comedy, Shake, Theo, Norm Talley, Red Planet, Omar S etc
Tried to steer away from the obvious classics, so some newer bits & lesser known gems

I did the opening of Cafe Del Mar, Ibiza 2019, from the original booth not the big rave space bolted on in recent years :o)

Lovely bit of pure sunshine, thanks. A couple of IDās I wouldnāt mind knowing: around the 45 minute mark and the last tune.
āOn A Journeyā by Warm is such a good track.

Series iāve been running called Cosmos.
The Concept is basically a place for myself and Guest DJās to play the records they love that donāt get regular rotations, either because theyāre not that clubby or donāt fit into their style.
Usually, but not always, means more laidback records as well as downtempo, deep, disco, balearic, jazz funkā¦ list goes on but basically lots of styles but each one is usually themed to one corner of music.
I do an hour then they do an hour, bits of my chat & shout outs in between. This is the latest but if you go onto my profile there is a playlist with all 9 if you like the format.

every month for the past six Iāve been doing a mix for online station Radio Magnetic. The show is called Pure Mince, the idea is ādance music in the key of poppersā ie lots of camp house/garage/disco, think big vocals and muscular grooves, stuff thatās traditionally derided for being a bit tasteless. (In Scotland we call things that are rubbish āa bit minceā and Iām a big mincing queen most of the time, so the name made sense). This monthās episode is here.

Hereās the first radio show of 2021, I kept the chat to a minimum and let the music do the talking. Itās a super laidback affair with loads of chilled elecronica and cosmic folk/Americana.
Hope you enjoy itā¦
One of mine thatās doing pretty well at the mo
