John B Podcast 184: TIMELINES SPECIAL – April 2006 Redux XM Show from Miami Beach

March 17, 2020 by John B

Hi everyone! Another TIMELINES SPECIAL podcast for you here.

Big thanks to one of our long time listeners Nikita for letting me know that this episode has been missing from the archives & sending over his recording it of, so I thought it was a good one to re-upload as part of the retro theme currently. Hopefully it’s not one of the older ones that soundcloud flags and takes down…

This is a recording from one of the monthly guest slots I did back around 2004-2006-ish for DJ Simon’s Redux show on XM radio, where I was one of the guest DJs on rotation there alongside I think Tommy Sunshine and Larry Tee etc (good company right!?). A fun time, peak electroclash, and I was mixing up 4/4 stuff with my 80/electro influenced stuff for those radio shows – though my live sets around then were still all pretty much dnb speed stuff apart from dropping in a couple of 4/4 tracks mid-set so I could come back with some heavy Dnb after!

The photo is from WODNB in Miami in 2006 I think too! Same time this was recorded.

Seems a bit strange to be suddenly all in action with more podcasts and promotional stuff, which was meant to help generate some much-needed gigs in the diary – which is obviously out of the question now!!

I’m currently having a think about how I can move forward and try to survive though this extended period without being able to earn a living from performing live – but in the meantime will try to keep spirits up & get more podcasts out and hopefully make some more music if I can get into the right frame of mind!

If you like this free content & want to support a little bit, the best way I can think of right now is to buy a few mp3s on my bandcamp here: john-b.bandcamp.com or on my webstore here: www.beta-store.com – but obviously there’s more important things to worry about. Hope these podcasts & whatever else I end up putting out here helps keep spirits up a bit! Big up. JBParagraph
