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).

We wreck the joint with an acid rain of Adonis, Type-303, Paul Funk, Hunter Lombard, Lambrini Girls, Courtney Barnett, Logan Lynn and Makoto with a strangely serious podcast made of acid house bangers new and old, punk, pop, liquid dnb and indie rock. I let the music do the talking about climate change, corruption and the status quo (not Status Quo, although they are always welcome too). Also new releases from B. Dolan, OMD and Duran Duran which are also in a similar global tip, and we talk about the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who and why the Doctor Woke bigots should get into the sea, and ev ..read more

A ghostly ‘not halloween’ edition of Radio Clash, more Halloween-adjacent than the plastic chinese proxy-Xmas junkfest that Halloween has become. Ghosts of Xmas Capitalism… So we have songs about ghosts, existence, falling out of planes, dark paths, a trance cover of Wendy Carlos, a hard house cover of Somewhere Over The Radio, feminist queer punk, proto-vapourwave, silly songs about vegetables and whales, ghosts and their swimmng pools, cranes, Beach Boys singing Nine Inch Nails, indie, jungle, rave, ambient, pop, electronica…. So the usual really! Ghosts In The Mean Machine (2:18, 192Mb) L ..read more

We say hello and wave goodbye to summer, holidays and camping, Autumn is here and so we have a autumnal podcast about change and endings with mashups from virtual camping with PDS Mix’s Mashup Summer Camp, and actual camping with music and chat relating to Jaunt 4 where I was walking along the Jurassic Coast. New music from Mark David Hadley, and new-ish shiny mashups from reconthuse, Sir Hank, DJ Giac, Marc Johnce, Vixoria Drift, DJNoNo and Titus Jones with the Will It Mash chatpod, and a tune from the new Mort Garson compilation Journey to the Moon and Beyond. Also more Nick Drake covers an ..read more

From relatives in Ireland to making artworks down the river, FIFTY FIFTY stanning to Nick Drake covers, Alfred Noyes and nostalgic jungle, slide guitar breakcore and Fleetwood Mac doom metal, Kings of Spain and Bitch Queens, sea journeys, sloops, metal watermarks and shipwrecks, this podcast has it all like a long blue wide winding river. A podcast mostly about joy, rivers and finding relatives in far off places.. Avon Calling, Is That A River, Owen?

Bagpipes are the new rock n’ roll, as is fiddles, accordions and folk is not a four letter word. From London to Scotland via Ireland, we visit hiphop, mashups, deep house, the new ANOHNI album, new Grove and new-ish AFX, and visit two kinds of Drakes (and don’t talk about one of them). And the Summer Night City ends up rather soggy, so we end up in a bothy with some bagpipe bass dancing to Caledonia Breaks (and probably drinking vodka and Irn Bru, is that a thing? I’m too sassenach to know…). And we play a pibroch on the bagpipes and pay our respects to the legend that is Sinead O’Connor, who ..read more
