Hold Tight Radio - September

Here is September's show. Broadcast from the depths of the T room, in the heart of Berlin. Track-listing will follow shortly....

Hold Tight Radio, with Davey and Parrot (Sept 2009) by davey

Change has come...

...and it's T shaped.

Welcome to Hold Tight Radio 2.0. After 17 monthly shows from my front room, we are undergoing a little reboot here at HTR HQ. Some much needed fresh blood will be joining me at the helm- welcome Simon "parrot" Parrot. Simon will be co-hosting the show with me, and has kindly offered the use of his lovely T Room , here in the heart of prenzle-berg, Berlin, as the new studio...

Which to you, the listener, basically means we'll both be feeling highly refreshed by tip-top brewage, and thus able to bring you more of the quality radio you deserve. Look out for some pretty stellar guest mixes in the coming months. We shit you not.


So, hold tight from 8pm CET this Sunday (13th September) at Loud FM for a choice selection from across the musical smorgasbord. Don't forget that if you miss the broadcast, you can pick up the show as a podcast - just click here... subscribe to the HOLD TIGHT RADIO in iTunes

Hold Tight Radio - August

There was no show in July due to my summer hols- which entailed reuniting Love To Fly for a couple of gigs at the Garden Festival. Brilliant fun.
This month's show features a few of the burners I've picked up in the last couple of months, and the odd musical highlight from the Croatian shenanigans... listen here or subscribe to the HOLD TIGHT RADIO in iTunes

June Show

so, another month, another show. I was pretty happy with this mix, until i listened to it again and discovered there's an isolation problem with the mixer, meaning you can hear (faintly) the next track being cued in.
Lets look at it as a post-modern deconstruction of the "text" of the DJ mix, rather than the out-and-out fucking bullshit cock-up it actually is.

The May Mix- Guest! Festival news!

This Sunday (8pm cet) Hold Tight Radio rolls out another 2 hours of specialist audio. This month we have a part 1 of what’s sure to be a cracking mix from Jack Spontan, with a decidedly tropical theme. I’m dusting down my grass skirt and coconut man bra (the “cocobro”) as we speak.

Plus, I’ll be lining up a number of extended 12” dub versions and tweaked-out discoid burners to round out the rest of the show.


And some quick but exciting news: I’ll be playing a boat party (Noah’s Ark) at this year’s Garden Festival in Croatia July 10th. Can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this- a Funktion One sound system on a boat in the middle of the Adriatic. There. Is. A. God.
(yep, that's the boat in the pic above.)
