Right then people, here’s the tracklist from last nights top quality (and highly amusing) Destination Midnight show. Don’t forget you can download the full four-hour mix for the next 7 days via our radio page.
2 Djs, 2 hours each, and 2 very different approaches….First up, Doug stepped up to the controls, putting down 120 minutes of crisp broken beat and nu-jazz sounds. Fully enjoyed by the crew at Blunt HQ, this little session is a super-slick chill pill. Spot on fresh tunes to get you in the mood for summertime, for sure!
Next up was Agent M, who took it upon himself to pay a complete mish-mash of soul classics, hip hop beats, film scores, house tunes, disco sounds, with a little bit of electro, and a touch of French conversation thrown in (just for the sophistication of it!). We had a right giggle with this set at HQ, especially with the Percy Thrower narrative and the disco Star Wars theme.
The mix is a bit bumpy in places (as M himself admits), but it was all very late and hazy at HQ by the time we reached our Destination Midnight, and this session was more for the blunted, smoked-out fun of it than the slick mixing by the late hour of broadcast.
We enjoyed the night. We hope you did too! – A full tracklisting is below, and, as we mentioned above, you can download the whole show (conversational French and all) for the next 7 days via our radio page.
