So after presenting radio shows from the mid 80’s on the pirates through to joining Solar Radio in the early 2000’s this is my final radio show. I really want to thank Tony Monson and Keith Renton at Solar for giving me the musical freedom to play what I want despite on occasions not always quite keeping with the station’s musical format. To my fel…

Here is my penultimate Mind Fluid Show and it’s a bit of a random selection mixing up a few new releases with a big chunk of music that has featured on the show over the years. The new tracks come from Anchorsong, Ricky Reid, Michael Kiwanuka, Badbadnotgood and Hotmood. Plenty of West London representation from IG Culture’s New Sector Movement, Kai…

This week’s show is my slightly belated tribute to the great Maurice White founder of Earth, Wind & Fire.

For the last part of the show it’s back to normal w…

This is followed by a track from my next compilation out on BBE in March fr…
