The Garden in Sept / October

In a stunning coup for The Garden I secured the broadcast rights for the first UK airing of previously unheard recordings by legendary 60's psych band Raspberry Parade. Despite releasing no records during their short lifetime between '65 and '66 an archivist named Steve Marshall has uncovered the few recordings that exist and has mixed their recently restored tracks into a psychedelic soup for tonight's mix.

22nd... RHYTHM DOCTOR MIX

1st... RASPBERRY PARADE MIX

8th... HAROLD NONO MIX

15th... NEW PORNOGRAPHERS SESSION

29th... UNITY CRESCENT MIX

I have had this acoustic session in the vaults for some time now and only came across it whilst having a bit of a clear out in the cellar! They recorded 4 songs and I had fun mixing around them especially as I had been listening to an lot of pop recently, from Sparks to the Steve Miller Band so I had good fun mucking about with their tunes.

It's now been a year since the mysterious Harold Nono offered us a fresh mix with his own peculiar twist. Tonight he did not disappoint as he had delights from Deerhoof, Stereolab and Juana Molina in his box as well as exclusive tracks of his own. All fine and dandy but we are still no wiser as to just who this masked man could possibly be...

I have enjoyed playing out tracks from their recently released album 'Holding Off The Fear' in The Garden and so it was a great pleasure to bring you this exclusive mix they have recorded for tonight's show. With a varied selection of tunes from Bomb The Bass to Mudd, LFO and Teamforest they cover most bases and have even included an exclusive remix of one of their own tunes which is simply a stunner.

The Rhythm Doctor aka Chris Long spins a wide selection of music from House, Latin & Disco to Jazz, Reggae & Funk! He has been a DJ since the mid 70's supporting everyone from Basement Jaxx to Mantronix & Azymuth in clubs worldwide.

The Garden's in-house guitarist made a welcome return after almost a year away. He was armed with his full selection of pedals and FX to add his own twist on whatever it was I ended up playing on the show.

They say you shouldn't mix your drugs but I guess it's OK to mix your drug records, well let's just hope it is...
