New Year, new station, same old me - or, put another way, I can now officially announce that I'm back 'on air', on Melody One. The show times and content are similar to my previous station; 'Friday Night Raw' - classic and contemporary Hip Hop Friday 00:00-02:00 and 'Spy @ Da Control' - Reggae and Soul, new and old Saturday 20:00-22:00.
Last night I did a short test broadcast (see player below) just to make sure everything was alright - the audio doesn't start until about 56 seconds in, I'll get around to editing it at some point. Thankfully, it all went according to plan, so I will start my new shows this coming weekend 14/01/11 and 15/01/11.
While we're waiting, J-Live has a new single out, 'No Time To Waste', produced by Old School legend Diamond D available for download or as a 12" single (remember those things?).
Also available from J-Live is the 'Undivided Attention EP', which features production by J-Live himself plus Korede, SMKA, Floyd The Locsmif and Nicolay. There should be an album proper released in the coming months and, as usual, I'll let you know more on that as soon as I know more.
Sadly, 'Whatever Happened To Major Tom?' by Black Einstein was omitted from my round up of last year's gems for no other reason than my poor memory. Featuring performances from the likes of Mystro, Xavier and Baby Sol, who also has a new release; 'Before I Begin (The Journey)', WHTMT too is available as a digital download on a 'name your own price' basis. So if you're really skint following the festivities you don't have to deprive yourself of good music.
Before I go, ACLT is an important charitable organization on the edge of extinction and, consequently, is in need of our support. I know times are tough for all of us but please, if you're able, donate what you can and spread the word around. Thank you.
One Love, Spy!
