Someone has managed to id the Julio Iglesias track Harvey played on Sept 23. I knew it wasn't the og. Had a Residentes Balearicos lick of paint.

Señor Iglesias’ classic, reworked into an arpeggiated disco anthem by shadowy Ibizan duo Residentes Balearicos, a secret DJ Harvey weapon now revealed!

Great find and brought back some good memories - sounded immense on that system. Juno has it down as being a DJ Harvey release, not just something he's played.
 
Ambient-inspired Christmas mix.

Used my Voices hour this month to pay tribute to Alfredo. I was only a wee nipper during the Amnesia years but saw him much later a few times on the premier etage in Space. Had a “smile and nod” exchange with him at the bar there once…he seemed a very warm character. The selections here are perhaps a little obvious but those years at Amnesia were clearly life changing! Tried to present those tunes as best I could. Thanks x

^so many personal faves there. The number of times I've been at some incredibly one dimensional party and just wanted to scream "play Jibaro you c***"

Obv been reading all the Alfredo eulogies. I got the impression he was sometimes a bit embarrassed by all the attention, and got a bit tired of being typecast which is why he did play a lot of unexpectedly banging music in the later years.

Yeah...that keynote interview with Ben Turner from 2014 worth a listen. There was deffo a lot more to him than these 15 odd tunes...remember him playing chemical brothers on premier etage on one of the occasions I saw him. Just a shame that he didn't get more from the scene that he was key to the creation of....we've discussed this before but another founding member who didn't get anywhere near the kudos/riches he deserved.

What a time though....one of those if you had a time machine you'd want to do Amnesia in 88 or 89 as much as Paradise Garage in its pomp!
 
Yeah...I'm quite lucky here there are loads of heads well into their 50's/60's and loads of little pubs that offer something but I find it harder and harder to go "proper" clubbing these days....although day parties at some of the bigger venues down here are starting to become a bit of a thing.

Have you ever thought about putting on something yourself?

Yeah I’ve been listening to a few of the Music for Swimming Pools shows on there but need to spend a bit more time seeing what else is there to check out.
 
Congratulations on a landmark day. 50 years of wisdom banked - I’ve no doubt you’ll happily lose it all temporarily whilst in the midst of a wobbly few hours / days somewhere this season. Bliss. Enjoy!

Cap` is a nice guy! I have several of his edits on my playlist all the time. The quality varies a lot, but the idea is good and there are a lot of different sounds, from cheesy to the very elegant extreme. As a bonus, I received a link from him with the purchase where I can download songs that he hasn't shared publicly.
