This Island Earth
Sunday May 10th, 2015 with PeterB
A good ol' theme wander, from all over the planet and nearby universe. Lots of compilations. Lots of Eastern Europe dance party. And weird stuff.
Today, a dance party romp through Eastern Europe, and a look at some terrific compilations on some terrific labels. Some S. African jazz to start. And some big beats fusions to end. Business as usual, all over the pan-galactic map, in other words...
Fasten your seatbelts, and join the fun!!
And please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!
