Yo Ho Ho and a Dead Man’s Chest
https://soundcloud.com/ingredients/dead-mans-mixtape Harking back to the Pirate Radio sound of the early 90’s (shout outs to Fire* and KoolFM!) is this jungle-tastic mix by Dead Man’s Chest. I thought I’d checked out DMC before, but somehow had missed his recent EPs Nautilus and Dreamscapes, and was (re?) introduced to him by the latest Lloydbrary and Ian…

He’s a sort of horror techno clown, a Jake And Dinos Chapman…
