  • Episode 6 - Threadwork: Places Part 2

    Episode 6 of Threadwork sees host Ross Cale deliver the second part of the Places inspired podcast. There’s techno, electronica, at least one double bass, acid, a reference to Roquefort cheese and one of the finest pieces of music ever made (in my opinion, of course). There’s more than all that too so dig out your passport, obfuscate your DOB because the reality is hard to take and listen without prejudice.

  • Episode 2 - Threadwork: Colours

    This episode see a colourful selection of records brought to the party with a mostly electronic bent to them. This wasn’t intentional but perhaps tells us something. Or not. Hmm.

  • Episode 1 - Threadwork: Animals
