June 25, 2018A little sad to be bringing this to a close but mostly over-joyed to be sharing the fourth and last installment of Jimmy Monsta Funk’s record wrap of 2017. And in a series that started with house and techno and has slowly been getting more eclectic this is a cracking finish he’s brought us around to. Digging in to his purchases…
June 12, 2018Off the back of Trample The Dust Down and No Hard Borders we’re up for the third installment of Jimmy Monsta Funk’s year in records with Damn You Space Colonists. In a series that has thus far pushed us across the spectrum of house and techno releases from 2017, part 3 of 4 draws together plates of similar vibrations, regardless of…
June 4, 2018Here we go with Part 2 of 4 from Jimmy Monsta Funk’s mixes drawn from 2017 releases – Trample The Dust Down. Following on from No Hard Borders he’s kicked us off with an updated Loleatta Holloway classic before taking us firmly through the sounds of proper techno, Chicago house and live European club joints that bump. Enough esoteric pieces and reflips to…
May 27, 2018Stoked to be presenting a new series of mixes from Jimmy Monsta Funk. In what seems to be an annual occurrence (check Mo Last Year and You Asked For It for 2015 and 2016 respectively) JMF has handed down his 2017 wrap-up split across four mixes. This is the year in records – a selection of tracks that are all releases, re-releases…

April 25, 2018Close to eight months since Episode 1 kicked off and almost five months since the New Years Eve session of Episode 2 was recorded I present Episode 3 of All My Records. Horrible title, please send through any suggestions for a new one. Shelf one is still throwing up loads of great hip-hop. More Tres Records drops with 12’s from Giant Panda and…
January 9, 2018Something nice to kick the year off here. Last season’s Dead Albatross winner, Hannah Peel, stepped in to session with Dead Albatross creator Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze for a twenty minute mix from space. Put together for Tom Ravenscroft’s show on BBC Radio 6 it was originally broadcast last Friday on his show, leaving you about 26 days to listen to it before…
January 4, 2018About three months after we started this I finally found some time New Years Eve morning to record the next instalment of All My Records. A quick calculation suggests that at sixteen to twenty records every three months it’ll take us about sixty years to get through all the shelves. We’ll try and pick up the pace a bit perhaps.…
November 9, 2017Take a bow Paul Ackroyd and co, as Dead Albatross season comes to an end with a winner announced (two weeks back…yes we’re incredibly late in posting, we’ve been busy) on what can only be described as some epic live radio. The Dead Albatross Music Prize 2017 topped all previous efforts with a crazy haul of dedicated artist mixes, album features…
October 28, 2017In honour of #LP4080 by Strange U making the nomination list for Dead Albatross 2017, the men like Kamikaze and Jimmy Monsta Funk connected once more on a session last week, this time around exploring Sci-Fi influenced hip-hop. In case you missed there last hookup you can revisit here: https://awkmo.co/jmf-vs-kk-sessions-56/ As well as Strange U and Ras G featuring throughout, this time around they’re…
