AbstractRadio session - dirtydiscodubs IV - march 2022

Greetings AbRadders!

It's been five long years since our last DDD session - much has passed in that time, the vast majority of which is, by general consensus, pretty miserable stuff, and thus has sweet fa to do with the unbridled joys of lazy disco edits, jazzy cuts and loungey-house.

So, without further ado, here's our latest installment of laid back, nay!, almost horizontal house beats - featuring, once more, a host of reluctant stars including Marvin Gaye, Dee Dee Sharp, Luther Ingram, Bill Withers, Ann Peebles, Double Exposure and Fela Kuti.

As ever, please RE-POST if this gives you pleasure!

Love and vaquitas,

x

AbstractRadio session - september 2021

Hi again, welcome back, and thanks for coming.

Having temporarily abandoned the glamourous "fluffy stuff", our pesky AbRad elves have been beavering away to bring you something a wee bit deeper, a tiny bit darker - expect some tribal beats, jazzy headnodders, tracky treats, a bonanza of quality tech & deep house and, of course, a whole slew of future classics.

As ever, we'd be ever so grateful if you were to be so kind as to give us the thumbs up, or even better repost the session if you like it.
And, if you don't like? Honestly, it's possible we might be beyond caring.

Love and koalas,

Blistering barnacles, we're back with some biggies!

Do y'a like loads of big-room belters, some a bit bonkers, all of 'em bangers?

Lots of fresh stuff, plus the odd oldie to keep you on your toes.

Many thanks.

AbstractRadio session - november 2020

Welcome back and all that.

This month's session features some delicious & delectable deepness, comprising as it does of something jazzy, something de profundis & bit of something in between - consider it a buffet of bouncy underground booty from the last few months, plus more than the odd smattering of choice cuts from a bit further back in time.

Like the AbRad elves themselves, as things go on, it gets deeper, and progressively more unhinged. Love and ocelots,

AbstractRadio session - september 2020

Salut!

As far as anyone can tell, human beings have been dancing together for 10,000 years, no doubt much more.
But, for the time being at least, we dance alone - no shared sweat or euphoria, no collective experience, unless you count twitch & zoom dance-a-longs, but who does?

In the meantime, we've witnessed a huge proportion of the entertainment industry being brought to its knees - there's a temptation here to go off on a serious rant about greedy djs & promoters, covid raves and misguided & nefarious governmental practices, but we shall resist.

Suffice to say, we live in interesting times.

All things must pass; even though we can't dance together, the music plays on regardless.
And for that we are immensely thankful.

Stay safe & enjoy the tunes.

Love & socially distanced hugs,

AbstractRadio - lockdown session one - july 2020

Collected connoisseurs of abstraction ... hello once again!

This is the first of a small number of live lockdown sessions we're knocking out over the course of 2020.
Originally broadcast through twitch.tv on 4.7.2020, the video is now available for viewing on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXjaVOzJ3uI

Featuring a slew of relatively new[ish] material, we've included some grooves, some tribal stuff, even the odd cheesy piano - some tracks may be pretty recogniseable as they're rehashes of older tunes.
As with all AbRad sessions, every one's a winner, but expect the real cream to appear nearer the end!

Stay safe and all that,
Peace, love and hyraxes,
x

AbstractRadio session - february 2020

Hail, fellow pioneers of an abstract groove!

After no small hiatus, here's another maelstrom of sultry dancefloor silliness, featuring easily the finest tune of 2019, along with a couple of stunners from Sweetpower [more from them anon]. Everything's pretty much up-to-date & mainstream this time round [in our opinion], and we've thrown in the odd old-timer for the sake of balance.

If you're pleasantly tickled by the gospel of AbRad, please help us spread the word and REPOST!

Love and a paddle of platypuses,

AbstractRadio session - august 2019

*** aka - the strange case of the unrelenting hi-hat ***

And lo, after many months' absence, the stranger returned from the mountains, laden with an abundance of great tunes.

And the golden ones rejoiced,
For all was good in the land [apart, of course, from all the usual stuff].

Here's the much anticipated, long-awaited and severely overdue companion piece to our last [mar 2019] session.
Consider it as a significantly bigger, badder elder sibling to the other.

AbstractRadio session - march 2019

Welcome back to the groove AbRadders.

Here's our first housed-up offering of 2019 - consider this as a warm-up: a shot-across-the-bows, so to speak, an amuse bouche in anticipation of next month's blockbustering biggie!

Featuring, as ever, a compendium of upfront tunage on a deep and disco/filtered soul tip, with a fair amount of triple-deck [and sometimes quadruple] trickery thrown in to keep your ears toasty.

Love and ferrets,

AbstractRadio session - december 2018

"Do you like music?"

Just when you imagined things couldn't get more messy, the AbRad elves have emerged from their yurt with the second half - the "main event" - of our back-to-back end of year sessions.

With a passing nod to the god-like Mr A. Humphries, here's a joyous excursion into the realms of quality house music, featuring the odd old favourite jockeying for position alongside a bunch of fresher dancefloor cuts.

To quote the great Errol Brown, everyone's a winner, and there's too many to mention anywho.

    -> Please repost on mixcloud - you know you want to.

Love and oncillas,
