**** its got me sat listening all night. 🙂
Any particular reason? Do I have to go and look up what tedious old indie stuff they're obsessing about?
[edit]just looked.. happy to be wrong!
Is it a Wolfhounds special?
Indian influences. It was awesome 🙂
Lamaque had some great stuff on earlier... Though the Indian stuff had the kids asking questions."
6 music is worth the license fee on its own.
Sometimes radio6 hits a winning run/rich vein. One night it was dance night and took me back to my yoof 🙂
Yes. Its worth all the licence fee. Can't believe it was going to be canned a few(?) years ago.
Was this the Bobby Friction stuff? I'll catch it later.
Yes. ****ing fantastic
I agree! Late night working seldom felt so enjoyable. Amazing Indian things (I have led a sheltered life), and now Tom Ravenscroft is grooving strong.
He crossover of Asian music into Western popular music is something I've always enjoyed. For me there is a wonderful mixture of influences that reflects my heritage. Whether it's the use of sitar to provide melody and/or a sense of pace or the drama of an Indian-inspired string arrangement, it gets me just 'here'. Reminds m of my Saturday mornings with dad playing a great mix of 1950's Indian film songs mixed with Cream, The Animals and The Rolling Stones tracks. East meets West can be amazing.
Caught a bit of this earlier, will have to listen again - Although it was Big Narstie (the amusing, large grime artist)
Remember Gideon Coe (I think) played a very long piece by Ravi Shankar the other month, sublime, and I'm a sucker for a sitar so would be good to catch some more indian tones.
Tom Ravenscroft plays such good stuff as well..
Who needs any other radio station eh?!
I listen to Bobby Friction sometimes on BBC Asian, a lad at work is Indian and recommended him. Heard Tjinder Singh talking about it, I'll try and find it, sounds good.
Thanks for this. On iplayer now!
So regret R1 stopping the Nihal show.
Just finished listening the Player. Damn that was great! Thanks for the heads up Mr H.
Radio 6 is brilliant,Mark Riley and Jarvis's shows are weary though and they can play a bit too much melancholy indie sh1te.
Big fan of the freakzone here, Stuart maconie played a fortet song t'other week which fairly blew my mind.
Had a Punjabi lady sampled throughout,very excellent.
