Genius offering from Paul Ackroyd, who’s got concepts (and records to back them up) for days. Under the Kamikaze guise he’s thrown together a mix dedicated to the wonderful game of snooker, coinciding with him watching pretty much every frame of the World Championship which ended this weekend past. Incidentally I’ll be round to his to raid for his share of new tunes to drop on NTS this coming Monday, get locked 2-4pm.
Yep, and a bit of snooker too. Totally obsessed with it, so a snooker special for you this week to coincide with the World Championship Final. Sadly I couldn’t find any tracks called ‘touching balls’ or ‘where’s the cue ball going’, but most other bases covered in here…
