PLR SHOW 35 FEAT TOM TOM CLUB, UNIVERSAL ROBOT BAND, RITCHIE WEEKS

Bringing you another Paradise Loft Radio show full of classics! Kicking off with a late number from the Tom Tom Club with their tune, Suboceana. An interesting fact about the Tom Tom club is that some of the members were from the band Talking Heads. The Name Tom Tom Club came from the Dancehall where they rehearsed together for the first time. Hope you enjoy the selections and stay smilin and well see you on the dancefloor!

PLR SHOW 33 FEAT TAMIKO JONES, SERGIO MENDES, RUFUS



Enjoy this selection of varied grooves. A pile of tunes i use to play years ago so many memories attached but i don't think i'd be the only one thats enjoyed a summer party with Sergio's tune, The real thing rollin in the background.

I have been back in Australia for over three months now after spending three months in New York. I sent back around 400 records and i have patiently been waiting for them to arrive. I got confirmation that they will be here shortly so there will be a huge amount of new material to grace Paradise Loft Radio!

Stay smiling and we'll see you on the dancefloor!

PLR SHOW 32 FEAT SALSOUL ORCHESTRA, KENI BURKE, CLOUD ONE


Excuse the break between shows. Have returned home to life back in Australia after spending three months in New York. It was an amazing time and a city that has inspired the making of so much amazing music!

I was lucky enough to go to the Larry Levan street party which was truly a highlight. A sea of people dancing and singing along to a massive list of classics! I also spotted quite a few faded Paradise Garage tattoos and people walking through the crowd flashing their membership cards.


The view from where I was dancing. More here http://www.larrylevanway.org/ 

The record shopping was another highlight with a long list of shops selling all sorts. Im currently waiting for my shipment of over (400 records that I collected in the three months) to arrive at my door. That day will feel like Christmas!

Many thanks to Lew Boy for taking care of me over there and keeping me on the good path. Thanks also to all the kind, fun loving souls I met in the big smoke.

I hope you dig the selections!

Stay smiling and we'll see you on the dance floor!
