The Mixcloud Chronicles : Episode 9

Well, here we are with the first Mixcloud show of 2025, at a time when we wish our lives away, day-dreaming of summer holidays.

The Mediterranean

We'll have songs from and about that part of the world, and also from Iceland. (The country, not the supermarket.)

We'll be taking a look at producers, including these four.

Godrich, Rushent, Eno, Jones

And yes, they are all men. I'm happy to receive suggestions for the best female producers so that I can feature them in a future show.

We also have a national treasure, a song sharing its title with a fruit, another sharing its name with a cute animal and a sign of the zodiac.
