Well I forgot mother’s day (again) so I suppose I better dedicate this mix to me mum. For Sue x London’s DDD head honcho Simon Morell, knocks together a mix inspired by the love of a film score. “I got the idea while watching classic films Risky Business and Ferris Bullers day off on film 4’s recent 80’s week.” “I forgot how amazing some of those films were, they brought back loads of old memories from growing up and the soundtracks were always wicked, So I thought fk it why not do a full mix solely of music from soundtracks. There’s a mixture of old and new so hopefully a bit of something for everybody. Enjoy!!”

Secret Bandit Bonus

The Boom Bap Collection.

Either good hip hop mixes are hard to come by these days or I just don't know where to look! Hip hop was/is my first musical love, and I've been on the lookout for good hip hop mixes for years - they only seem to pop up now and again through someone’s diligent Soundcloud scouring or from a house DJ going for something different. So a hip hop mix was naturally the first thing that sprung to mind when I was asked to do a podcast for musicforfriends. I've put together a collection of tracks from some of my favourite producers and MC's - some you will have heard before, some you won't.

Even though this selection isn't technically inspired by him, the mix is dedicated to a great friend of mine: Michael Russell aka Russ. Russ is a guy who literally eats, sleeps and breathes tunes. He's someone who I can always go to with anything music related and one of my biggest musical inspirations, as it were.

Anyway, this mix was done with the car/bus/train in mind, starting off slow and building all the way through…a journey through the world of real hip hop as I see it. Hopefully you’ll enjoy these classics as much as I do.

This was recorded in front of a live audience after a practice run - no edits ;-)

Happy listening!

Craig Christon....................A mix for my Lover This was inspired by a low in my life,where i was unable to hear music for some months,as you can imagine this broke my heart...the music on the mix covers my style and taste ,hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed doing it....

Danielle Crazy P......................This podcast is dedicated to LOVE. To love and to be loved is happiness. It heightens our emotions and senses. It unites and is a positive force to be reckoned with. It wasn’t that easy compiling this selection; there are so many songs which relate to many emotions love inspires, and so you can only honour any emotion at a specific time…therefore my choices are melancholy, poppy, soulful, heartfelt, feminine and with a twist of desire. I’m starting to sound like Simon Bates so I’ll leave it there. If I can use this opportunity to say thank you to all my friends and family, because this music selection is inspired by you too-each song tells a love story of its own- and to ultimately the one person I love dearly and who has pulled me through to the here and now-Mr Johnson…with all my love x 1.Outkast-Prototype2.Jill Scott-Cross My Mind3.Teddy Pendergrass-Love TKO4.Eltron John-The copy5.Billy Joel-Just the way you are6.Minnie Riperton-Inside my love7.Prince-Crazy You8.Feist-Inside and Out9.Paul Anka-Lovecats10.Herbie Hancock-Stars11.DJD and Sylvester-Need somebody12.Gus Gus-Unecessary13.The XX-Heart Skipped a beat14.Ron Basejam-Into my life
