Bloody heatwave. Three months now and averaging 32°C/90°F and no rain. Well a few storms but nothing I can’t count on one hand. As I type it’s the end of the second week of August and I’m contemplating how much more heat I can take in a country devoid of air conditioning. I mean the […]
Western Europe has been hit by a fierce heat wave with temperatures hitting 40C (104F). This is the second such heatwave in Switzerland we’ve had this year, and as a country with almost zero air conditioning this is a big deal. As of writing I’m two weeks into this soupy heat and there is more […]
I was fortunate enough to meet some fantastic people when I relocated to Switzerland. Before the move I emailed Dave Phillips (as I knew he lived there part of the year) who recommended an art space/collective, bookshop and performance venue called Humus. Soon after I moved I went to see a live show and was […]
This might be my shortest episode yet at under thirty minutes, in fact it almost only reaches 25. Go me for brevity; for once. The sounds on this one almost traverse my entire time on this planet, give a year or two. It also contains some big commercial hitters from Grandaddy and Badly Drawn Boy […]

Spring is hitting hard already and I type with itchy eyes and a snotty nose, but with a keen sense of hope, the sun on my back and the warm breeze clearing the winter blues I bring you March. I have been transforming my record collection of late, trading records I haven’t listened to in […]
I’ve been away from my new home for the duration of February visiting the old country to see family and friends. I had been looking forward to this visit for a while, as it coincided with my birthday and afforded me the opportunity to connect with people I hadn’t seen for many months. The rain […]
Welcome to 2026 you massive survivors. I think we all deserve a pat on the back for getting through 2025 and a shot of something to kick off the imminent shit-storm that is 2026. I thought I’d start the year off with a mix I spent most of the last few months putting together. Jazz, […]
Inside No. 9, Season 4, Episode #49: 2025 in Reflection This year I have spent more time in bargain bins and secondhand stores than buying new music. That doesn’t mean I haven’t kept my ears open to new releases, but it was definitely a year for dusty vinyl and ancient CDs. That said, it was […]
