New mix up, inspired by the Tin Pan Alley title track and aiming for a particularly sickly kind of sweet, light disco. Sometimes this stuff makes me feel ill but at others it's pure gold.
Here's a few snaps from a visit to Hong Kong back in 2012.
And one of the finest musical evocations of Hong Kong:
As a focus for my travels I have set up another blog (sigh), called TropicalBreezeFreeze. The name comes from a work colleague who persistently fails to remember my catchy DJ name.
New DJ Tropical Breeze mix, inspired by a rummage through old 90s records (Auch, Mouse on Mars, Brinkmann, Kron) in the shed. For Philip in Devon, may the cathedral be yours!

On 5 April 2018, Dave L. and myself returned to RRR 102.7FM to present a survey of the Urgent! genre. Urgent! was coined by Dave and a pal of his to describe a particularly intense form of high-energy AOR, frequently featured in fight scenes of 1980s action films. The archetypal Urgent! song is Frank Stallone's 'Far From Over', above, which spurred the invention of the genre in the first place.
