Calling All Shipping – MV Soundhog is broadcasting on all frequencies for possibly the last time with Radio Soundhog 7 (but then again Ben Hayes like his mate Frenchbloke always says ‘never again’ then pops up on the starboard bow when you least expect it).
It’s a wonderful and in some parts jaw-dropping hour-long mix, if you’ve tuned in before you’ll know what to expect, but if not you get funky 60’s grooves, modern electronica, 80’s tunes and rock all mixed like you’ve never heard before in one special transmission. Expecially amazing this time is the Renegades of Funk vs Human League section, and the Gang Of Four punk backed Mirror in the Bathroom going into manic drum and bass (has he been listening to DJ-C’s mix of ‘Mirror’?).
I hope he increases the frequency (hoho) of this sort of thing, if not long mixes like Radio Soundhog, then remixes or even *gasp* bootlegs or DJ gigs, basically he should stop moaning and get out there 😉
And I love the Tempest quote it ends on, with Dr Who / Mr Wurzel Gummidge Jon Pertwee reading:
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d tow’rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
And is that Stephen Fry at the end? LOL.
