Let Me Go Sunshine (Heaven 17 vs Rockers Revenge vs The Clash)
(Taxi image by Marc Samsom, used under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic) As premiered in the latest podcast, this mashup isn’t my idea at all – Jeb Edwards aka DJ 50PoundNote asked me to make it as part of his set. He originally heard it on a friends tape from the 80’s but couldn’t find…

In Soho! I think Mr Turing would be proud. I couldn’t go without saying…
