Jack Saunders - BBC R1 - Future Sounds [PLUS] 2023 - Grandad Mixes - Moreno J Mix Vol 01 - Moreno J Remixes (The Re-edited) & Pierre J - 1984 In The Mix

I mentioned on the 'Punks Dead' post that BBC ~ R1 Future Sounds has really good music and terrific presenters. All of the BBC music presenters DJ's  and producers including Radio 3 are top notch, but Jack Saunders is the first one to ever make me feel a little older than usual. He's got an extraordinary energy about him on air and it was so much I sort of crumpled a bit and felt I couldn't keep up for the first time in my life.

Later on, as I got to know his work I learned that he's a versatile and encyclopedic music man and one of the most passionate music lovers I've listened to (along with Arielle Free and DJ LaLa). He's technical and has a great range of music and singing vocabulary. When the talents with him in the studio, it's self evident he takes the time to get to know music people, and and asks the best questions. Fresh, sidewinders, genuine curiosity-driven probing and great empathy with a range of guests.

I'm used to him now so he's not always full-on but strap yaself in if he is because it's an unusual ride. Jacks been put in charge of BBC R1 'Future Sounds' and I hope my tweets before I was kicked off X Holdings Corporations' platform proselytising his talents, landed in the right place. He's wearing a black and yellow suit that is the spit of an old Paul Smith suit I was given. Well done Jack. Looking forward to more of your fresh energy and your gift for empathy.

Let's do the second set first. It's Pierre J 1984 in the mix and like Moreno J, it starts with Frankie Goes To Hollywood (FGTH). Both sets are among my most listened 'Grandad Mixes' this year although now I've discovered the Essential Mix - BICEP - 2017 set which is off the charts fresh nearly six or seven years later (to my ears) as I only just discovered it via Pete Tong's Essential Mix back catalogue. Pierre replied to my comments a couple of times talking about his music app and I assumed he was a great amateur DJ find of mine. I have no idea why but I thought he was like me reliving his 80s 90s noughties dance music days, but no. Turns out he's a professional, highly regarded and one of the top European DJ's on one of the industry talent lists. Check out his last name and Q Symbolism on most of his cover artwork. Small world makes a lot of sense when combining AI with the ULTRA information. You're going to be seeing a LOT more about 17 from now on. 

The top music set is Moreno J who is an ongoing enigma in my life, but that set which starts off with FGTH as well, is spot-on if you're about my age of 55. The video must be watched to fully appreciate the times, fashion and music on the floor during the 80s 'and' onwards. I have no idea how he secures some of the dancing footage, but as with the Lipps Inc. - Funkytown (Moreno J Remix) post he (it might be a she or a team) they're using hallucination levels of AI dance choreography on some of his mixes, from at least two years ago. I've kept my opinions to myself about AI since I road tested all the platforms, but I have got a lot to say, share and write about this subject and some is brilliant, and some is mind bending, some is dark and some is terrifying, so it's for the future oriented not those holding on to the past. The fun part is sometimes a synch is just serendipity but if you are familiar with the colour initiation process I was led through online, just watch the Lipps Inc mix by Moreno J and then go check out these two posts because it's very hard to explain why obsessions of mine are contiguous with obsessions of other people, or more likely we're seeing what many others can't, even though millions can. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole of colour initiation there's this follow up post as my ongoing education continues.

Bela Lugosi's Dead (Tomb Raider Mix) DJ ALANT - She wants revenge / Bauhaus Re-Upload [tear you apart]

Got a big plan, his mind's set, maybe it's right

At the right place and right time, maybe tonight

In a whisper or handshake sending a sign

Wanna make out and kiss hard, wait never mind

Late night, in passing, mention it flip to her

Best friend, it's no thing, maybe it slipped

But the slip turns to terror and a crush to like

When she walked in he froze up, leave it to fright

It's cute in a way, 'til you cannot speak

And you leave to have a cigarette, knees get weak

Escape was just a nod and a casual wave

Obsess about it, heavy for the next two days

It's only just a crush, it'll go away

It's just like all the others it'll go away

Or maybe this is danger and you just don't know

You pray it all away but it continues to grow

I want to hold you close

Skin pressed against me tight

Lie still, close your eyes girl

So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close

Soft breath, beating heart

As I whisper in your ear

I wanna fucking tear you apart

Then he walked up and told her, thinking maybe it'd pass

And they talked and looked away a lot, doing the dance

Her hand brushed up against his, she left it there

Told him how she felt and then they locked in a stare

They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do

'Cause there's always repercussions when you're dating in school

But their lips met, and reservations started to pass

Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last

Either way he wanted her and this was bad

Wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy

Now a little crush turned into a like

And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her

I want to hold you close

Skin pressed against me tight

Lie still, close your eyes girl

So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close

Soft breath, beating heart

As I whisper in your ear

I wanna fucking tear you apart

I want to hold you close

Skin pressed against me tight

Lie still, close your eyes girl

So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close

Soft breath, beating heart

As I whisper in your ear

I wanna fucking tear you apart

I want to hold you close

Skin pressed against me tight

Lie still, close your eyes girl

So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close

Soft breath, beating heart

As I whisper in your ear

I wanna fucking tear you apart

LG

Way back here in my ChungKing Express post, when talking about the duplication culture of China and Asia excluding Japan, I tried to imply that while not seeing evidence of real innovation there was definitely an emergence of what I now see more clearly as a technology remix culture as evidenced by the solar panel and telescopic lens that came with my mobile phone now languishing in Bangkok storage until my next move is more clear.

Today I see that LG have taken this great idea of solar panel charged batteries and run with it for the launch of the LG GD510 phone which you can read more about over at the Pattaya Rag Blogspot. I knew what I was trying to convey at the time of my own post which was both critical of duplication culture (or copying if you will) but seeing the LG post has crystallized my thinking and I believe that Asia is emerging as a centre of technological remix culture which in this instance is both a smart idea and one that scores well on sustainable living metrics. Although since my own phone was stolen recently (yes, again) I've suffered from inaccessibility for work related communications but also lapped up the peacefulness and lack of interruptions which tucks nicely into my previous post.

I'm also trying to see the cops tomorrow for the identity parade for my stolen life, but the last time I spoke to the investigating team about it they hung up on me. Which is why I'm writing it here. So now we're clear.

Information DJ

I was talking to Fabio the other day who gave me an idea that requires outright and blatant theft. Any thoughts on me having Information DJ on a business card? That's basically all I do.
