Rocker

On my show this month:
A three-hour show featuring new tracks from Allo Darlin'; Cats On Fire; Liechtenstein; Mark Stewart; The Whatevers; The Give It Ups; Knickers; Billy No-Mates; McDowell; Colour Me Wednesday; Twinkle Twinkles; Tigercats; The Carbon Manual; and Guided By Voices.
There's also electronica from Mathew Jonson; Paul Thomas & Funk Agenda; Skream; and Dub Phizix & Skeptical. Max Cooper is working overtime, he remixes both a new track by Ripperton, and a chillout classic by FC Kahuna. Amerigo Gazaway of Gummy Soul mixes up De La Soul and Fela Kuti, while Pale Sunday take on The Trembling Blue Stars, and Crystal Stilts take on The Blue Orchids - and I play you the original as well.
This month's Peel's Big 45 was produced by Jack White in 2,000, while this month's Educating Elizabeth 7" is a 1973 Motown release.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Capricornia is the name given to that part of Queensland, North-Eastern Australia, around Rockhampton, which is crossed by the Tropic Of Capricorn.

Biography:
I am proud to be a DJ for dandelionradio.com - as far as we know we are the only radio station inspired by John Peel - I was a Peel listener from 1976 to 2004 and it was his open minded attutude to different genres that has shaped my own tastes. It is a great buzz to be carrying on the great man's work and bringing previously unknown artists to the attention of our listeners.

As well as my radio DJing I have been known to drag my crates around the UK - I currently hold DJ residencies at monthly indiepop nights Sunny Inside Presents in Stoke-on-Trent and Big Pink Cake in Bristol, as well as co-promoting and DJing at Bristol's monthly vinyl-only Northern Soul night, Getting Together. I have also appeared as guest DJ at some of London's finest indie nights: Twee As Fuck; How Does It Feel To Be Loved; Lost Music Presents; and Scared To Dance.

I run eclectic CD-R label Local Underground, and am promoter and resident DJ for related gigs & events as Local Underground Presents. I also play out a progressive house set as B_Man - you can download some old mixes here. In the Bristol, UK area I have DJd for Manna parties as well as Empathy, and Voodoo nights. My ambient / chillout / dub reggae / punk / soundtracks / psychedelia sets are also much in demand in certain (crop) circles. Over the years I have also been known to play keyboards / drums in various ensembles. I record most of the bands' sessions for my show in my recording studio, StAR Studios, which, like me, has a busy schedule!

You can find me on MySpace here, and on Facebook here!
