HJ Radio 22

John Casey joined me this week, JC has a weekly show on Near FM, every Tuesday at 10pm. You can listen to his show at this link http://www.near.ie/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21&Itemid=50, & check out his blog at http://johncaseyblog.blogspot.com/

We wanted a theme for the show, and JC came upon the idea of collaboration or symbiotic relationships in music, be it between fellow artists or artist and producer. He has selected a music in a wide variety of styles, Jazz, Electronica & Classical. I have gone for collaborations between artists from east and west.

There were some slight technical hiccups, I cut off The protecting veil early, so I played it again at the end. Apologies, and thanks again to John

2) Chi Wai Ping - Yue erwan zhaojiuzhou

Week 17

This week I'll be playing a lot of techno, mostly new but with a few classics thrown in. The last time I heard of Fergie, he was making scaldy euro dance. He has come a long way since them, the second song I'll be playing is by him (called Ireland), and is my favorite techno track in a long time. It sounds like something Regis and James Ruskin would like to make. I also have two tracks by the secretive Atushi Yano. His recent ep is great, full of African tribal rhythm and grooves, I haven't been able to find out any information about him apart from that though. Another track I'm loving this week is Junior Rafeal - anything 4 your love. Its a scary scary track, wild piano keys over a pounding bassline, whilst a crazy sounding dude explains that he will do anything for your love, he'll even f*ck your friends!

Ill be finishing with some Folk and Hip Hop, by Dead Man's Bones & raekwon feat Ghostface killer respectively. Enjoy!
