Things get deep — from the deep south (or notions of it) and deep techno to deep space. And there’s always room for new(ish) Marvin Gaye, Ryuichi Sakamoto and a Radio Slave remix of Apparat.

I also share the music of R. Elizabeth (artwork featured here) on the new Alternate Take. There’s Lusine, Jackie Wilson and a pre-Funkadelic Bootsy Collins project called House Guests.

The April edition of my radio show on dublab found me playing records, and records only. I love playing vinyl records, not only for the tactile nature of it, but for the artwork and occasional gatefold. But playing records can also lead to strange events. Have a listen and have fun with me as I…
