Popped in to see @rubberfunk while On The Tools in the Sunny Surrey Hills this morning
Being the fine chap he is, supplied a Personal Studio Copy of his latest Mix Tape - Duplicated on AVAV Sourced TDKs

Surprise mixtape drop for #bandcampfriday - celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the 2011 'Jacking For Beats' mix that I made for the legendary Solid Steel Radio show. I've hand dubbed 15 copies onto original 'used-once' 1980s TDK D60s, just like the old days.
If you like drum heavy sounds for breakin', or have been known to jack a beat or two, then this is the mixtape for you!
Link in bio or search for Dr Rubberfunk Bandcamp using the search bar in your internet browser of choice.
Peace, and Happy May Day!

Tis #TapeBoxTuesday
Sorting thru dodgy bootlegs from back in the day
These were sold on Mediterranean coast, UAE, European Hotspots etc. Dirt cheap knock offs for tourists to feed their Walkman habit. Typically the equivalent of a few Euros
Thomsun Original (oh the irony) & 747 Variety were popular dodgy brands. Even the tapes were fake Maxell, BASF etc
There are some strange combinations & extra tracks on these
Pic 2 are recent swaps with @rubberfunk
Had a lovely day shooting the breeze with @rubberfunk
Talking, Tea, Tapes, TDK n Tunes
Keep em peeled for New Releases via @bandcamp.com
Coming on a TDK soon

Makes me feel old. OK, I am old, but you know…

Friday night jaunt to Brick Lane and the @theotherartfair to catch up with school friend Rhiannon @rhiannon.cackett_artist on a rare trip to the UK from her Barcelona base. We had plenty to chat about from the last couple of decades; art & music & creating & collecting and life in general - not least of which was why it’s so hard for me to take a selfie without looking like someone who never takes selfies. Anyway, her pieces looked incredible on display, and if you’re in town today or tomorrow, definitely get along to check them out in person. Tons of great art to see throughout the show, shout also to Heather @bookery.co.uk and Caroline @carolinehallpaintings for taking time to chat about their work and ‘the process’.
Happy International Women’s Day!
Swipe for a couple more shots of Brick Lane aka Memory Lane, where I seemed to spend a lot of time playing records 20 years ago, 93 Feet East still looking pretty funky.
