The Real Tuesday Weld - Radio Clerkenwell Paris DJs Mix
Wednesday 18 January 2012, 18:16 1
The Real Tuesday Weld were formed by Stephen Coates in 1999 inspired by dreams of crooner Al Bowlly and the American actress Tuesday Weld. They're influenced by 1930s jazz, Serge Gainsbourg, Ennio Morricone and minimalist electronica and are known for a series of critically acclaimed albums, arts projects and award winning collaborations with film makers. We started spotting them on Paris DJs way back in 2005… and fast forward to 2012 we were glad to be able to interview Stephen last week (read it in english or in french), and managed to get a mix from him cooked especialy for Paris DJs. The...

Thursday 12 January 2012, 02:14
Ambient/Chill-Out/Downtempo/Eclectic Electronics master James Bradell a.k.a. Funki Porcini has quite a cult following thanks to his 5 albums/15-years long career on Ninja Tune. He's launched in december 2009 his own label, releasing since then no less than 2 albums and 8 singles.

Saturday 24 December 2011, 17:47 1
We know a lot of people enjoyed the Jan Kohlmeyer Yuletide DJ Mix posted early december (very funky!), but that didn't mean we wouldn't also be there for our annual 'Wishing you a stupid Xmas' audio greetings. Every year you know you can count on Captain Détendu (the man from J.E.W.P.O.P.) to spice the Christmas selection with some eccentric carols and Hawaiian jingles. This year's mix is, as usual, full of surprises. We've been digging here, there and everywhere. Hope you'll have as mch fun listening to this one as we had cooking it.
