Over 2 months since my last podcast, the longest time away since the hiatus and 2008, but I’ve been busy with funerals, probate, and grieving. I think this will likely be my last podcast of 2024, good riddance to this year but unlikely to do a Xmas podcast for the first time ever because I ..read more

Four weeks ago, John my partner of 27 years died. I have the task of arranging the funeral, which is this afternoon 19th September 2024 at 2pm (I recorded this two days ago). This includes the music…the saddest gig for any DJ, let alone the saddest thing I’ve done for someone I loved so deeply ..read more

A delayed podcast as I’ve been off in the woods – but we have a feature on the two ‘Songs of the Summer’, the new albums by G3RST and Mark David Hadley and talk Twisted Firestarters and Mashup Summer Camp, actual camping and hiking, and why July is always Summertime Sadness – with some songs to soundtrack the long hot/rainy summer. And we talk about Trump and the times…how could I not? It lurks over this podcast like a black cloud… It’s The Official Song Of The Summer Apocalypse (2:39, 207MB) G3RSt – We Have The Future 2024 (Prince vs FSOL) 2SHAE! – Knife Party vs Childish Gambino – Bonfire ..read more

Apologies for the late podcast, just scraping in for May, and the last one was early April! I’ve been off walking the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way in Scotland – all 170ish miles, so a LONG walk and a lot of wild camping, which seemed appropriate as it’s about to be Pride month as well. So we have a slightly camp disco edit and queer acid tastic mix in the Kitchen Bathroom Disco, a few mashups and tunes I was singing while I was hiking, and listening to on the coach there and back, and a downtempo section where it goes a little Cabin In The Woods with strangers acting weirdly in re ..read more

RIVER iS BEAUTIFUL! Fresh off a long walk along the River Thames – over a 100 miles sweetie – so we have a London and water themed podcast, an imagined soundtrack for my new YouTube video series on the Thames Path – cos I can’t afford the rights! And new mashups from me and others and original music as well, and some old classics, And Video Killed The Radio Star? Hope not… Listen to RC 395: River Is Beautiful byRadio Clash on hearthis.at I wish I had a river so long, I would teach my feet to fly (2:23, 192Mb) The Bran Flakes – Fifty Four Fifty ToToM – I Promise You Flowers, Don’t Panic (Mi ..read more

Sometimes you need a room full strangers to make you feel less alone, A place dark enough to make yourself unknown, unknowable,but…home somehow, A place to hide somehow, at least that’s how it feels. Antony Szmierek No murder on the dancefloor with a spoken word club mix about lhaving a place to hide with your rum and ginger beer and losing those life and joy-giving queer spaces … A very mashup/dance heavy podcast, from acid house meets Pink Floyd to phonk, the new-ish Orbital track, a track from the upcoming Arab Strap album (it’s released in April not May), War of the Worlds, walking and h ..read more

It’s been a while since I did a Deep Dive, but I finally got round to do another one, this time the joy of being bored in the 1980’s waiting for a loading screen, disco (sorry ‘jazz-funk‘ *cough*) on the radio, feeling like you are a robot in a robot’s world. You might think boredom is a bad thing, but it can actually be good for you! So, in this episode, I play a mix of songs from the ironic indie pop of Bis to the exotic Turkish folk of Istanbul Sarkicilari and Istanbul Calgicilari, from the soulful disco of Flaming Ember and glam stomp of Raffaella Carra to the futuristic drum and bass of ..read more

Happy 2024, and is it a Happy New Year? Not for me so far…a busted knee, burn out, and was out hiking in the Big Freeze – thankfully not Storm Isha! So a belated New Year episode of Radio Clash including some tracks I loved from 2023, a surprising amount of mashups, new wave electro and indie rock, space disco and cosmic funk, tech house and drum and bass, Rock Dolly, downtempo and strangely reflective. Fire and ice, snow and sun, hot and cold, like my 2024 is running so far. Big Freezer Burns Day (2:32, 210MB) Listen to RC 392: The Burn Out & The Big Freeze byRadio Clash on hearthis.at ..read more

Happy Xmas from Radio Clash – and have a Perfectly Reasonable New Year, ok? We say goodbye to Shane MacGowan the only way we know how – with a TikTok meme, play lots of silly Christmas tunes, mashups, covers, and even some non-festive stuff like some selections from Mashed At The Sock Hop Vol 2 and Hallmighty’s 100% Fresh album. Even a new ‘Xmas single’ from The KLF (sorta). Xmas Metal, punk, electro, drum and bass, reggae, ska, pop, indie, new age, electronica, folk and The Indescribably Ungenred, this podcast has a gift for everyone!
