We’re going back to mine. I imagine the night will start off light-hearted and easy and then we’ll slowly descend into confusion, taking a bit of a rock detour along the way.
WAR – Slippin’ into Darkness
I’ll kick things off with a nice slice of funk. The bassline says everything that needs to be said about this track.
Bassekou Kouaté & Ngoni Ba – Musow Fanga
I love the energy and emotion in this track, the Ngoni solo in the middle gets me going every time.
Keith Hudson – Hunting
Heavy and moody, dub. Really trippy and nice. I just wish it was a bit longer!
Goat – Dig My Grave
60’s inspired psych rock from Goat, one of my favourite bands.
Matthew Dear – Earthforms
Again, the bassline says it all… One of those tracks to blow the cobwebs away.
Camera – Skylla
Camera are everything you want from a Krautrock band. If you ever get the chance to see them live then take it.
Ian Simmonds – The Ice Waltz
Dark, moody and trippy vibes from a true artist.
Fabio Frizzi – Sequence 8
The title sequence to Zombi 2, one of the greatest films ever made.
Shackleton – Music for the Quiet Hour
Strap yourself in for this one. The whole piece is about and hour long and it’ll do things to your brain.

Robert Ashley – Automatic Writing
One of the most powerful, subtle, mysterious and unique pieces of music on the planet. Don’t try to make sense of it, just let it suck you in and see what happens.
