DJ Dust

Long-term followers of mine will know that a couple of years ago I was playing the monthly "Dissolve" (Indie / Trip-Hop / Electronica) night at The Tuppenny - something I still regard as one of the best things I've ever done.

Only about 20 months late, here is the recording of Session #8, featuring tracks from the likes of Inspiral Carpets, Orbital, Bomb The Bass, The Stone Roses, New Order, Massive Attack, The Cure, Joy Division, Tricky, Talk Talk, Suede, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Chase & Status, U2, The Charlatans, Garbage, Blancmange, Portishead, Propaganda, Leftfield, Björk, Muse, The Shamen, Hybrid, Simple Minds, Curve and more.

Enjoy!

Dissolve live set #8 (September 2024) DISSOLVE: the monthly Indie / Trip-hop / Electronica session with DJ Dust @ The Tuppenny, Swindon. This is the 8th set recorded on Saturday 7 September 2024.

What an amazing Ashes To Dust: #11 last night at The Rolly. Thanks to everyone who came on down for it - 71 songs played in total (see below), including quite a few requests (apologies for not getting round to all of them, it got a bit manic at points!) Also, a massive thanks to Matt Keeble for hosting the night - A DJ/video/club night (that includes synth pop in the playlist) - in a pub known mainly for live rock/metal bands would be a bit of a gamble to some... ;)

For the first time ever, I've also created a Youtube playlist so you can play it back for yourself (albeit not mixed):

So, that's the last A2D night for now. No idea at this point what will happen with it next. Stay tuned and watch this space...

All setup and ready for A2D tonight at The Rolly - am happy to report that we'll have the usual video experience too. :) As I walked past Level III next door, I realised that it's a year ago today that A2D #5 took place at The Victoria thanks to the lovely Violet + Darren letting me move it up at short notice after the sudden closure of the venue (the posters announcing the change of venue are still there on the door as you can see). Such a crying shame that this whole building will be all boarded up again very soon. Please make the most of The Rolly while you can - still a few events to come:

TONIGHT: Ashes To Dust #11
Sunday 24 May: New Rules (pop covers, 60s to present day)
Friday 29 May: Riddim Rockers - Vinyl Night
Saturday 30 May: Be Like Water
Sunday 31 May: Mildly Famous & The Echo Thieves (acoustic covers + originals)
Thursday 4 June: FOTF BOTB Finals
Friday 5 June: Circu5

I will defo be there for that last night!! ;)
