A well known champion of the vinyl format, Andrew’s selections included Viv Stanshall, Le Volume Corbe, Adrian Sherwood and even his well-used 12″ of Haysi Fantayzee’s ‘Sabres Of Paradise’.  The show has been picked up on by a number of blogs including Dummy Magazine who called it “the jewel in 6 Music’s vinyl-only crown.”

If you missed the show, you can catch up on in it (complete with crackles and pops) right here.

From his days as a cloakroom attendant at the infamous Blitz Club, dance music has always played a pivotal role in George’s life. In this show he shares the soundtrack to his clubbing life with Dave, from Bowie to Telex, Sylvester to Strafe via the E Zee Possee and More Protein Records up to Felix and Duke from his days as a resident at Progress and Miss Moneypennys. There’s also a premiere of a new dance track he’s made featuring George Michael.

Dave Pearce and Frankie Knuckles, May 2011

In this two hour special for BBC 6 Music, Frankie hooked up with long time DJ buddy Dave Pearce to talk about the origins of house music, the clubbing scene in the New York and Chicago during the late 1980s/early 90s and his remarkable career as a producer and DJ. We also found time to play some of Frankie’s favourite dance tunes, including tracks from Robert Owens, Derrick May, and Alison Limerick.

You can listen again here, and also find out what Dave had to say to The Guardian about the legendary Mr Knuckles here.

The Somethin’ Else team were on hand to film the set, with the results as beautiful as ever.

Now Playing @6music - a brand new show for the BBC

Somethin’ Else are delighted to have been commissioned to create a brand new cross-platform project for BBC 6 Music, fusing our twin passions of music and digital content.

The commission – called Now Playing @6Music – will comprise of a weekly radio show hosted by Tom Robinson, airing the most shared, recommended and discussed music online and a blog ‘living’ seven days a week online. The show is the first joint commission by BBC 6 Music and BBC Audio and Music Interactive (A&MI) and will track online buzz around “alternative” music to discover the most popular topics and music downloads. Listeners can build playlists and give opinions on tracks via the 6 Music website, and on its Facebook and Twitter pages. We’ll be busy tracking and taking part in a myriad of online music-related conversations, reflecting the music week online, on air.

A&MI managing editor Chris Kimber said, “I want this to be a ground-breaking new show, which is built from the ground up on audience interactivity, rather than bolting it on. Every piece of music will come from the audience and from online music fans – this is music radio 2.0.”

Paul Rodgers, editor, BBC Radio 6 Music added, “This show will build on a dialogue 6 Music already has with its audience and further develop the station as a digital destination.”

Now Playing @6Music launches on Friday April 8 at 7pm.

In the last show of his year long 6 Mix residency, Erol plays an eclectic selection of bleeps and beats including a Tiga remix of Jamie Lidelle, Joris Voorn, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Spectral Display and Teenage Bad Girl. He also takes to the decks for another one of his infamous ‘secret’ mix sets in the last half hour.

Listen again to the show here until Sunday and see the full tracklist here. Tune in to the 6 Mix live every Sunday night 8 – 10pm on BBC 6 Music.
