Sleazy Wonder's Soundcasts

This week our resident musicologist Sleazy Wonder unveiled his plan to take us on a year long aural journey through a range of music close to his rum-soaked heart. In the form of 'soundcasts', each episode will focus on a different theme and guide the listener through a hand-picked selection of music bringing to the fore some unearthed gems, forgotten classics and downright leftfield.

The first soundcast 'Red Sun Rising' showcases the often overlooked contribution Japan has made to musical culture over the decades, focusing on the Japanese take on Jazz, Disco, Funk & Rock

We cannot recommend this enough, it is well worth a listen and we will be sure to let you know when future episodes become available. Enjoy...
