This week we kickstart with some ’99 DnB courtesy of Ram Trilogy, then tour acoustic sounds courtesy of Violent Femmes, Infesticons and Hopi-influenced jazz, taking in some dark technoid breakbeats courtesy of Porter Ricks VS Techno Animal, 60′s Cali-Valley vibes from Jack Nitzsche and the straight-up beauty of Sufjan Stevens. Go get some.

Its a belter of a show this week as we tour old-style human beatbox tracks, celebrate Brandy’s finest cut, deliver wub-wub bass classics from yesteryear and discuss just what imagery comes to mind when listening to Scrimshire. As if that isn’t enough we also discuss those glorious lost nuggets of music and movies from the pre-web years and pay tribute to Heavy D. This one’s a keeper, trust us.

This week we trip through psychedelic oscillators and jazz-punk, the songwriting and production genius of Brian Wilson, The Rapture’s sleigh bells Phil Spector moment, Juke-joint R&B, Moroder-esque arpeggio and the timeless brilliance of one of Trick’s favourite bands: Slayer. 72 shows down and only now do we get Slayer. Shocking!

For a while now we’ve contemplated a special where we switched from music you may not have heard to music you have quite probably heard a hell of a lot via commercial radio, TV and more. Yes, this is our Pop Special, drawing on anything from 10cc to Fergie to deliver our personal favourites that have graced the charts in the last 50 years. From the glorious production Brian Wilson (laid bare via an instrumental version of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”) to the intricacies of freestyle electro in Madonna’s “Into The Groove”, we tour all that is good in pop. Dirty word? Not here. Enjoy!

You’re no doubt well aware we like a bit of a chat here at Trick & Tom HQ, so when we’re visited by equally chatty folk, we couldn’t be happier. Or at least we thought we couldn’t until we were joined by Queen Of The Rapping Scene and former Techno Twin, Bev Sage. Yes, add to the chat the accolade of being the 1st ever female UK MC on vinyl, having performed on the Monty Python song “Every Sperm Is Sacred” and an amazing back catalogue of new wave and synth pop, and we really couldn’t be happier. Couple that with Trick delving into the worlds of power and dream-pop and a brief nod to the late great Ari Up and I think you’ll agree this is a proper pearl of a show.
