I dove extensively into my record collection this week to bring an even more varied meandering selection. It was great to enjoy flowing amongst The Rolling Stones, My Morning Jacket and the Beatles to then have a preview of Southend’s Stratus Rocks who will be joining me on the 26th February. In fact I’m hoping to feature a wonderful variety of guests over the next few weeks starting with Sleepywood next week, also from Southend. There was a nice Southend connection actually as I enjoyed talking about a great weekend I enjoyed back there seeing Bloodline at the Railway on Friday and catching up with Felipe from Herida who was also online tuned into the show.
I talked further about the progress into this year as it was difficult to believe we’re already close to the middle of February. The dark, reflective time of January has turned into a lively, busy February with much to be done and action to be taken after a period of integrating difficult lessons. I hope as many of you as possible are seeing your plans come to fruition and ready to enjoy what the year has to offer as it unfolds.
I enjoyed some rocking out as usual as I ventured through some uncompromising rock vibes with the likes of Downset and I enjoyed reflecting on my times seeing them in the mid nineties when they supported Biohazard in the UK and I also caught up with them when they played the Esplanade in Southend. There was more mightiness from the likes of Mexico’s Molotov who are as explosive as their name suggests and the likes of old classics from Judas Priest and Infectious Grooves. I indulged in some introspection with John Grant’s the Czars and Otis Redding before immediately getting things back up to electronic rocking with some of the more epic recent psy trance finishing off with Greece’s DarkShiRe who will be making his UK debut at the Disciples of Psykaia party in London this coming weekend.
