I enter the festive season with the best intentions, I’m gonna make a lot of beef stew, have mulled wine with friends everyday, wear a scarf and generally be as festive as fuck.
As with most people, I guess, those good intentions fall foul of real life and all its time sapping things… so I don’t do as much festive-ing as I’d like.
Nils Frahm used to do these beautiful Christmas mixes and Fred Deakin always drops a banging mix at this time, and I wish I had the prior planning abilities, or the headspace to be as regular as my heroes.
So, it seems, at best, I start this old show from 2017 with these intentions, dropping Frank Eddies’ version of East 17s’ Stay Another Day, and how glorious is it? However, as it was a show that went out on boxing day, and possibly live, I wasn’t so prepared as to carry on in that vein.
However, it is a round up of 2017 with some incredible music.
2017 was the year I think I spent the most of vinyl, and it was quite the year for music, so it seems at least I was in the right place at the right time with enough money to expand my record collection.
So this goes back to when I used to do regular three hour shows, which is quite some work, but I kinda liked digging in for that extra hour, it really gave me time to breathe and play a ranging show, I guess I could do it again, if I wanted to?
I did a round up of 2025 last week on my main show, which you can go back to check out, but I hope you enjoy this one, from 8 (jeez) years ago, which only feels like yesterday.
I hope you all had a good Christmas and wishing you a great start to 2026.
Love, as always.
