We have decided to launch a regular podcast called ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ which will feature all manner of weird, cool, funky, whack and downright cool tracks, most of which we could never play at our club nights. Over the years we have done many radio shows and podcasts where some of our collection gets a good airing. From our other ‘show’ called VS (check it out here) to a variety of weird late night community radio shows in Sydney, we love the chance to be released from our dance, dance, dance mantra and just play what we love. So, that’s it really. A show full of that stuff. It will be pretty wide ranging. French, Spanish, Italian, German, Belgian, plus the rest of the continent. It will feature Yé–yé (of course!) plus psych, prog, rock, covers, Italian soundtracks, moog, freakbeat, garage and we might even play a bit of Eurovision. Yes, we said it. France Gall and Serge Gainsbourg won it. So it is cool. End of that debate.
We will put a show every month or so. They won’t be long. Just 30 minutes of prime cool. We would love to invite some guest DJs to the party. We would also love to play your party/club/venue/bar. You know how to contact us.

Would you believe that we have now hit 30 shows of this fine podcast? So much vinyl, so many bangers and so little Kurac and SCSI-b. On this show we cut swathes across the sixties (and early seventies) by crashing the party with double Dutronc. The first comes from his 1972 LP and the second […]
