🪼 SEASON 5 🐸_beta version | back after a hiatus, go easy on us | gospel soul, pan asian dubstep, belgian resistance jams, cousin kula, dolly parton et al | some of this show was corrupted so we've lost my elon musk diss track and the jack dejohnette into jungle blend 🥲 but still MUCH MORE to enjoy

HNY bitchez 🪩👃🪩 we're back and belly flopping into 2025 with unparalleled range and a haphazard approach 🦢 lots of edits and remixes in this one including disco house Dusty Springfield 👻 and a jazzy cover of garage classic Gabriel that you simply must hear 🐡 a foray into Irish hip hop and a tribute to Algerian legend Cheb Hasni ☄️ always live, never planned and packed with protein 🫛 🗡️🐟

ho ho ho_ merry yuletide and welcome to one final instalment of whompers for 2024_ music from geordie greep, temz, idris muhammad, a ravey section, a magic mushroom experience, central cee and dave, medieval christian core, a smooth disco roller and a couple of unexpected xmas tunes. "ohhhh yes believer, he come from the glory, he come from the glorious kingodom" love you for listening

_genuine trigger warning_ at the 1.5 hour mark there's triggering tune by immortal technique. followed naturally from barbara streisand but i sort of forgot how dark it gets. so do skip that if you're not feeling up to it - you'll know when its the tune, its a story. other than that there's a south asian whompers mix to kick off, an ethereal ambient mix dedicated to my friend max, new music from Haumea and Caoilfhionn Rose, some aja monet, a bouncey trancey anthem one, a song featuring birdsong of the dunnock and some legends era bristol dubstep from Joker. and then there's a section about the UN campaign 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence which wrapped yesterday, followed by some powerful feminine bangers so it all sort of comes full circle. all live all improvised all over the shop _ non stop whompers 🧟‍♂️

oi oi saveloī 🌭happy weekend and welcome to another instalment of non stop whompers. what can we say about this one? well it starts strong. very strong. some of my favourite ever blends, genuinely. around halfway things change and it gets very messy and confused. theres a loving shout out to some longtime listeners of the show: the one and only Clez and as always a spectrum from arabic rap to south asian roots music, an indian banger that went viral in china, german hammond organ a rolling belgian dnb roller, and thats just the first 20 minutes. enjoī
