Radio Free D'ni

I did a set for Earth Day, as part of the MOUL celebrations that were crowned by a wonderful dance set from the NULP dancers.  I played for an hour before they began, and chatted to you as well.  Here’s the playlist. Acres Wild Jethro Tull Heavy Horses 1978 Catching the Sun Spyro Gyra Catching…

Broadcast on Easter Sunday, proving that none of us looked at the public holiday dates before we announced the show time…  Nevertheless, a maximum of 29 with 22 – 24 all the way through.  Thank you all for listening, and this time it was something away from the mainstream.  Our skipping trip through Dave Swarbrick’s…

A good crowd joined us to remember the career of Robert Stigwood and the artists and shows that he was responsible for. He more or less invented the role independent record producer, changing the way that popular music was created and marketed, and was an important part of the development of both bands and shows…

Yoda put on another light show for us in Magic Tolesa and we followed up with a dance party, as is traditional 🙂  The Kadish bay was a great place for the light show, with lots of space for the audience to spread out along and a big flat area to perform on.  The dance…

A second set of Covered Up songs, where we find the original versions of songs and then play one or two covers that are interesting and different from the original.  A bit nerd-ey perhaps, but fascinating if you are into that sort of thing.

Radio Free D’ni provided some of the music for the St. Patrick’s Day parade and post-parade bop, and here is the playlist :). The preshow was, as usual, designed to let people find the broadcast channel and get tuned in to the music.  Unfortunately, I had not created the playlists, and doing so took up…

For IWD 2017 Radio Free D’ni presented a four-hour show of music by female artists, presented by Root Beer with AlanDJ, Malaclypse and Edison Rex.  Hummingbird was with us on the plaza, and delivered some reminders of what the day was about, and biographical details of significant women, some famous and others not so.  In…

For this, we chose albums that we consider to have no weak tracks at all, that is, no fillers, no tracks just to pad out the album to its full length. Naturally enough this is a little bit subjective, so if we haven’t included your favourite, I apologise, but will note that we have several…

As a result of a request from the audience, we produced a set of One-Hit Wonders, always a risky category as you can end up mired in novelty songs, which are generally uninspiring out of their context.  However, not only did we manage to assemble a good set of tracks, we had a large audience…

Radio Free D’ni’s 60th show coincided with the 7th anniversary of MOULa’s revival, and in honour of that we had a selection inspired by playing the game – adventure games mostly, and the various Uru incarnations especially. The preshow was selections from the end of the ‘D’ section and the start of ‘E’ from my…
