I'm going to make a little bit of a hole in the middle of the hole. I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole. I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole.

I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole. I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole.

I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole. I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole.

I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole.

I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole. I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole.

I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole. I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole.

I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole. I'm going to make a hole in the middle of the hole. That's my McAvoy from Down the Road. Brilliant player. He's the pianist on that and his album. He's also got Ben Castle on there who's the son of White Castle who used to present record breakers. That's him. Ben Castle on trumpet. That's pretty cool. I'm waiting on another Down the Road crew record to arrive this week from a mate Nick. He's just released an album and he did his first ever live gig the other day which I saw. He was really good. I'll do props to him actually because I think he was very nervous.

He's never done a solo gig before. We had a drummer. I had a guy called Mike Collins on drums but he's this first time out ever doing his own material. It's really cool. You'll hear that in a few days. Can you read me a story, Mummy? When I beg her, I want to be a princess. Where all the creatures of the land they lived in perfect harmony.

They lived a beauty pure and fair with rosy cheeks and golden hair. Faith in love it kept her strong and so she lived without a kid. I love every word she spoke. Ad dreamt of how that place would be. If I could wear those pretty shoes and how that dress would look on me. I'm still waiting for my happy ending. I'm still waiting for my happy ending. I'm still waiting for my happy ending. But somehow in this perfect place the apples grow in sour taste. Suddenly the picture changed when envy showed its ugly face.

The Christmas tree The Christmas tree It's looking in the shadows, the jealousy conspired to take her from the world she knew. Like her in a tower, wicked worms are deceived. They were spun by lions, had to tell us she was weak because they fed her power. Now her only option was to seek a man to save her. But she must give him everything to return the favor. I'm still waiting for my happy ending. I'm still waiting for my happy ending. I'm still waiting for my happy ending.

I'm still waiting for my happy ending. I'm still waiting for my happy ending. Do you need to show it there? Fairy tales from the album One Road. Down the road, cool again on that. Skip my Donald's guitar. Adrian showed on production. And then out the town or on bass. It's out the town. It's out the town or... Mr Wimbysh on bass there. It's good. This is one of my favourite backing vocal sounds of all time I think. It's played. Lovely and warm. And a hard, deluge, and I don't have to cry no more.

Baby, keep your light of money. So your main will know the score. One more line. One more line of blood. There's been a long, young, young, young baby. And I don't have to cry no more. I didn't want one that took a game on. You know I bet my money wrong. I was betting on my baby. And my baby wasn't at home.

One more mile. One more mile. There's been a hard, young, young, baby. I don't have to cry no more. You know they tell me every school year. You know they often have the maid. But there's one that I'm loving. She's only living this one state. What one mile. I only got one more mile ago.

Well, there's been a hard, young, young, young, baby. And I don't have to cry no more. I didn't want one that took a game on. You know I bet my money wrong. I was betting on my baby. And my baby wasn't at home. One more mile. One more mile. There's been a hard, young, young, baby. I don't have to cry no more.

That's absolutely gorgeous. That sounds so nice. Even crackly record. I think that record would sound worse if it wasn't crackly. It just gives it such a nice charm. Otis span there. It's very dark in here. I can't quite see where the tracks are. I mean I can't see them when they're light-y, but I think the issue is. It's just so it gets a light.

To my home, which everybody owns. One more mile. One more mile. Where we can do what we please. One more mile. I feel like a thousand years have passed. And younger than I used to be. I feel like no world is my only land. I know every one that I need. But somewhere in the music I can hear the bells on.

A load of thousands of years before. There's always more. There's always more. Wondering this is the old balance. Since I want, since I beg and to be. Wondering. Wondering. Where we can do what we please. Wondering.

Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering.

Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering. Wondering.

Wondering. Wondering. There's a song which has no wings. It's well set inside my hands. There's a place where we've been looking. It melts between us now. Don't cry my little boy. We've been there before.

Don't be afraid of my love. We've been there so many times. There's a song that I'll write. Full of the sound of my spot. I can't let go. There's a place that we go. Don't cry my little boy. We've been there before.

Don't be afraid of my love. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times.

We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times. We've been there so many times.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's the end of that one. It's very quiet. Call me Anna Wears. I didn't know it was ending. I'm quickly trying to press the buttons for. And now we go to George for the...

Ever professional with my production on this show? But yeah, Hania Rainey there. Or is it Hania Rainey? Shall we find out as we go to Mr. George for the wedding? Hello, George. Hello. What do you think George was the weather today? It's less than warm. He's looking around. He's sort of moving his head but I'm not sure he's even got his eyes open but... Oh, there he is. There you go. Less than warm. As we go across and we check outside, it is indeed raining. It's been raining all morning actually. Got a bit wet coming from the house into the shed. And George was quite wet as well because he waits outside waiting for his breakfast.

And I'm not quite sure what time he starts waiting but he probably starts waiting from about 5am. And he just sort of patiently sits by the back door. But in that he got quite wet this morning. But the true truth, low wind. So there you go. There you go. That's today's work. And yep, that last one was Hania Rainey. Hania Rainey. Lovely album, live recorded in Warsaw. I can't remember if it's Paris or if it's... I think it's Paris and Warsaw. Yeah, great stuff. Where are we going next? Let's see. Why not lean into the rainy theme? Yeah, here we go.

I've got a couple of other records to you as well. Actually I'm waiting on. It's one I'm very excited about but I'll hold tight on that. So I want to play it excitedly when it arrives. So I don't want to talk about it. Yes, I care if she brings me spring. But don't care about nothing. She brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. In the dawn of the silvery day. Clouds seem to melt away. She brings the rain.

Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. She brings the rain. It feels like spring. Magic washrooms out of dreams. She brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. So many yellow, great disappears. Flying on the Ravens' wing. She brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. Yes, I care, she brings me spring. But don't care about nothing. She brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain.

She brings the rain. It feels like spring. Magic washrooms out of things. She brings the rain. It feels like spring. She brings the rain. It feels like spring. She brings the rain. It feels like spring. She brings the rain. In the dawn of the silvery day. Clouds seem to melt away. She brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. Oh, yeah, she brings the rain. Oh yeah, she brings her in.

May I get at can and she brings the rain plane. Lovely, track. Let's go here. I wish I'd better rise, I really do. I could do a new glasses actually. Very focus are quite... quite pricey. Anyway.

I wish I'd better rise, I really do. I wish I'd better rise, I really do.

I wish I'd better rise, I really do. I wish I'd better rise, I really do.

I wish I'd better rise, I really do. Thanks Tom. Anyway, there you go. That's what happened to that. Still have it though, but I just can't play it.

I wish I'd better rise, I really do. I wish I'd better rise, I really do.

There he comes in with that section. That's glorious. Little pullback on it, you know. I wish I'd better rise, I really do.

I wish I'd better rise, I really do. And then sweat as I read my essay.

There you go, Gangstar, as I read my essay. DJ Premier's phrasing is impeccable. He's not like a super hardcore technical scratcher, but he's phrasing and his sample choice. Just can't, no one compares. And also because he often on choruses, he constructs the same. And then he's like, I don't know, he's like, I don't know. And then he's like, I don't know, he's like, I don't know. And also because he often on choruses, he constructs choruses out of different samples and then scratching. And it's a very, very, very clever. And you know, can only be done with absolutely insane knowledge of records, you know, and knowing that that line, you could use that line from that record and that line from that record and that line from that record and that line from that record and actually build a hook. But I just love the way, get nerdy scratch on it. But he scratches part of the sample, then spins it back

to another part of the sample and lands, he lands right. And also I read a member reading with Premier, he doesn't, he, oh no, he was on Questlove's podcast, but he doesn't punch in on his scratches. His scratches are real, they're not, they're not edited. And apparently he didn't know for a long time, you could even do that, you could even punch in on things. So he never punched in to fix things, he just did, he just did takes until they were perfect. Yeah, boss. Anyway, as we continue. To the subway from Africa,

we're loving Africa. Oh, why do I need to surely mind kept with you, shut up, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on. Every time they come make them work. seven

a am

. of handsome boy and girl you are a greater that man stealing anger you call angry at him out of hired politics get it There you go, Prince Fatty meets the Gorgon.

The inversion sounds so great. Just the spring, spring re-vows on that just really warm and lovely. All right, where we going to scare here? What's that kind of? Oh yeah, sorry, we were just turning about editing in the chat or one taking. Yeah, the opposite end of that. So I worked in, I have worked, still working, coming here at Studio's for quite some years. And yeah, for this funny story. So there's actually the only client, wherever I've actually just given him a hard drive and said, please never, never call me again. But this woman I was working with, she wanted me to construct a guitar. So I, if you listen regularly, you know, I'm not a musician. I make music, but I'm not a player, I do play around with Gizmos.

But yeah, so basically constructed a guitar solo for a time edited. And I was just like, this is not the kick I signed up for. And also she did, she'd written a musical. This is the job that I actually, I lost the plot and said, I can't do this and then gave her the hard drive. I actually gave her a hard drive. But it was, she'd written a musical and she thought it was a good idea to write it in six languages because she thought that people would be way more into it. If it was already translated into six languages. And none of which she spoke either. So there was like Italian Arabic, you know, it might have been German, Spanish. So, and the music was also four part harmonies that she wanted to triple track.

And she couldn't sing. It was awful. It was, I, I, I meant, I wish I had some of the recording just to demonstrate just how awful it was. And also she, for the, for the Italian, she was phoning some poor bloke at an Italian restaurant for the pronunciation. While she's in the booth, you know, and I'm like, this is nuts. And also this is what broke me as she couldn't work in India. So you'd be working on the Spanish, you know, alto, take three of the Spanish or whatever. And she'd just go, oh, I think I made a mistake with the Arabic on the, on the tenor in verse one. You know, and it was just all over the place. And I just, yeah, I eventually just walked out and I was just outside the studio for about, I don't know, 10 minutes or so, and then she came out. And I was just like, my brain was just absolutely adult. And I was just like, I'm really sorry.

I can't work like this. You're skipping all over the place. This whole project's just bonkers, you know. And I don't know if I even also just said, and it's terrible. But it was, it was so bad. She also did a, oh, this is funny, actually. Sorry, I'm going into one now, but I'm just remembering. So there's a drama based producer who's quite well known now by the name of Tim Reaper. But he used to hang out, he used to hang out on drama based arena production forums, which was really, it was a very funny place to hang out, but also, you know, production, it was a production forum, but also a production forum that was very silly in lots of ways. And so anyway, obviously being the, the, the, the, the, no, the person I was at the time, I posted the audio of one of our tracks because she'd written a track for Tesco's. And it was like on a, using their every little help thing,

every little helps. She was trying to picture an idea to Tesco's. And anyway, I posted up on the forum and Tim Reaper, I wish I had this, honestly, I wish I had this because Tim Reaper's a big name now. And but I've got him doing like a jungle version of this terrible Tesco's, Ditty that this woman made, and it's like peppered with air horns, just crazy amons and, oh, God, try and find that audio, honestly, it's nuts. And Tim Reaper's well known now. But when he was on drum and bass arena forum, he was 15. And it was mad because he was like, you know, he was, yeah, just having this 15 year old kiddie on a forum, but he was obviously very talented and very good. And, you know, I guess he's about 30 now. And a very well respected producer. But he was 15 then and just making his first tracks. And which were, you know, at the time, we were like, wow, this kid's 15, he's doing that.

That's amazing. Anyway, story time for you. Story time.

Oh, my God! In a suboptimal listening conditions... Play a couple more of these, actually I'm just gonna play the side of this. I'm just gonna play the whole side... Cause I want to... And it's lovely. Oh, that's cool! Maybe just make some techno out of this.

Then Li, and then Freestyle's techno. I'm going to freestyle techno. Ah, dude. Love analogue. You can't do happy accidents like that. Well, you can do different happy accidents, I suppose, in a computer environment. But, you know, just on a desk and just throw everything up and see what happens. And actually, I don't need to do a lot more of that because the thing, oh, plug my thing, my thing launches Thursday at the church. But a big section of that is just desk feedback.

And that's one of the bits I'm really happy with. You know, the musical elements. I'm not, you know, well, no, no, I'm happy with it all, actually. But the musical elements are struggle with, because, as I've said before, I'm not a musician. But, yeah, all the noise stuff, I love. Because it's noise.

And that's- Well, I'm still playing that Ed trees. reckon. Uh... Yeah, this I'm playing. I'm gonna show it to you. I can't hear you. Man, I feel like I'm in a class. I, stop, stop, stop. All right?

youth see you on the next one.

There you go. You say flat teeth. That's the whole upside-down of Eastern sounds. Beautiful album. I'm going to go. I've got to try and get into the house. It's absolutely pouring here. There are only the option is to get a bit wet. I think. Anyway, thanks for hanging out. Pleasure as ever. Yeah. Hope you have a good day. What day is it today? It's only Tuesday.
