Velanche’s Playtime 004

Indeed, the show is moving along. Lots of new music has piled up, so I’m doing my best to unload them as I get them. This is why you’re getting a new show a wee bite early, but I don’t think you’ll have any problems with that.

So listen and enjoy; look for another surprise later in the week, and some other news in the weeks to come.

Have a great week; peace.

Velanche’s Playtime 002 – FINALLY!!

Greetings, Peeps:
After posting the first episode of my new show, things got a bit interesting. It’s that time of year when one’s susceptible to other people’s diseases, and unfortunately I was stricken too. But having now fully recovered from said nastiness, it’s time to play a bit of catchup. And so it is that Episode 2 of the Playtime thang is coming alive.

There is a lot of music to catch up on, with a few albums and cool tunes notwithstanding. On top of the cool goodness you’ll be hearing comes the first guest mix for the new show. It’s from a rather formidable UK producer Bigga Bush, back in action with a brand-new album called Music by the Yard. Much of the music in his music, about 30 minutes into the show, features tunes from the full-length, out on his Lion Head album. If you know his previous solo efforts, as well as his creed with the legendary Rockers Hi-Fi, then you know that you’re in for a treat.

Right now, I have a serious bumper crop of cool dance music…so expect maybe one or two extra shows this month on top of the bi-monthly fare. Look for them.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your support of the new show. It’s still in its infancy, and yes soon you shall hear my voice again once things are in place. Meanwhile, it’s the music you want….so enjoy it.

Peace.

Velanche’s Playtime 001 – The New Music Podcast

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2012.

Welcome, also, to the start of all things new. One of the first new things in my life is the start of my new bi-weekly podcast simply called “Velanche’s Playtime.” As music, to me, is an area where a sense of play comes through, so goes the title of the show.

I’m starting this show with quite a bit unprepared, but the most important thing for me is to keep the fresh, new music flowing. Much of what’s on this installment represents music that’s been coming my way for a number of weeks, and it was time for that music to find their way out into the world from my perspective. So I give you the inaugural edition of the show.

In brief, if you’ve been a fan of my weekly show, then you’ll feel right at home with this show. I will have some other things in the mix…an updated site, more online content, and even a video component. It’s all part of the master plan, to be rolled out as time permits.

I hope you enjoy your show, and I do hope that you tell your friends about it. Spread the word, far and wide, if you enjoy this show so that it’ll build and build. This great music should spread globally, and I hope you’ll agree that it should be shared, nurtured and cultivated.

Welcome, once again, and thank you.

Peace.

Velanche’s Recommended Music of 2011 – Part Two: My Choice Songs for 2011

There were many, many fine tracks that have graced my ears during 2011, but ultimately for me it comes down to those ones that stuck with me in an instant. On balance, I somehow return to these tracks again and again, and that’s a clue to what helps a track make a cut…compelling vibes, deep production, and pushing the soul sounds and beats.

The tracks are not in any particular order, so no “Top” this-or-that.

Have a listen, and please give these fine producers and labels your support by buying their music so that they can continue to be motivated so that they can usher in further greatness.

And with that, here we go…
