Well, the time of year being what it is, the radio station is closed for the week, so for this saturday's Standard radio show we have something a little different.
A few months ago, I
packed up my belongings, gave away the rest, and left Ireland with the missus and the madra for South East Asia. While going through my stuff, I found various neglected dusty cassettes from the 80s, 90s and beyond, one of which I gave to
Mek to transfer into a digital format for nostalgia's sake, which will be broadcast tonight on Dublin's
FM 106.4.It's an old mix I did back in 95 (or thereabouts), made up of old school electro and house records I loved and bought in the 80s, along with some hardcore/early jungle I had begun buying by the time this mix was done.
In other words, expect plenty of skipping, dodgy mixes, but great music - and forgive the odd bit of blending from old
Streetsounds Electro albums (forgive me Herbie) - inevitable given my collection back in them days.
The show kicks off at
9 PM (GMT), finishing up around
10.30.
We're also
live on the web if you're outside our FM reach.

Thanks to the listeners, we hope 2012 is good to ya.
