To celebrate the release of Jamie Woon's stunning "Night Air" single, which has been picking up airplay all across the radio spectrum, we thought it would be cool to pull out Nick's interview with Jamie from the Flomotion archives.

Recorded in London back in June 2007 and including exclusive early solo versions of "Waterfront" , "Wayfaring Stranger" and "Shoulda", the recording offers a real insight into Jamie's forming talent, dedication and general all round nice-bloke-ness!

It's gonna be a Wooney 2011!

Paul White is one of our favourite producers here at Flomotion Radio. His imaginative and often cinematic productions fuse psychedelia with hip hop, funk and jazz.

Following a string of releases for One Handed Music, including the genre twisting classic debut "The Strange Dreams of Paul White", he has also been responsible for a number of remixes for the likes of Mr. Beatnick, Natural Self, Mux Mool and Bullion.

2010 saw the release of his second album featuring Paul's re-interpretations of original music by Swedish Pysche-rock guru S.T Mikael titled "Paul White and the Purple Brain".

Nick Luscombe caught up with Paul to discuss this incredible piece of work on London's sunny Southbank earlier this month.
