This Island Earth
Sunday July 29th, 2018 with PeterB
LOTS of new (and new-to-me) music today. Including some terrific re-releases, killer comps, new sounds. Enjoy!
LOTS AND LOTS of new music for today's This Island Earth adventure. Including some fantastic re-releases, and totally new sounds. As it turns out, plenty of it from around the Horn Of Africa -- just worked out that way, happily.
Mostly just lots of long sets, and long tracks, today. How we like it!
Please do hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!
