Cream Of The Crop - June 2014 Vinyl Chart

All kinds of goodness in this month's chart including... an essential funk classic from Renee Geyer, seriously deep bass grooves from Jamie XX, a tonne of twisted new house come Detroit vibes, some lovely represses from the Trax and KMS camp, a stripped down Terje drum version that isn't on the album, a disco gem from Cream De Coco and Juggy Murray Jones as re-edited by Rahaan.

Dig Deep with DJ Izrail Dizko & Voc Walters (Tradition / Chicago)

Nearing the end of an era. I have only got 2 more Dig Deep On Preston FM's to do, including tonight's show. I've been with the station since the early days of 2006. During the last 8 years I been lucky enough to work with a lot of fantastic guest DJs, selectors, music heads, artists and promoters from around the world; many of which I now count as true friends

For me it's always been about digging deep into other people's record collections and discovering the gems that are loved by others but are new to me. And that's been far more educational than school ever was!! I always say people can't like music they don't get to hear, so as a radio presenter it's been an honour and a privilege to be in a position where I can broadcast 2 hours of fresh and different tracks on each and every show.

So for my last 2 shows at Preston FM I am handing the Dig Deep turntables over to the guests for the full 2 hours with only minimal chatter from me. It's all about the music, and is a chance to hear 2 great DJs in action that you may not have had the chance to hear otherwise....

Dig Deep on Cowbell Radio #13 with Simba (Home Taping / Stripped & Chewed)

For the 13th Dig Deep on Cowbell Radio I am pleased to welcome Preston based DJ & Producer Simba to the growing list of trusted selectors that have put together an exclusive mix for the show.

As a DJ Simba has been doing it for years. He grew up listening to soul, funk, boogie and disco records on his dad's record player and you can really hear that deep soulful vibe in both his DJ sets and his productions.

Sometimes you’ll catch him dropping house, disco and boogie, while at other times he'll turn your head with some Jaydee inspired hip hop.
