BBC Radio Wales Session - December 2002

I'd never listened to BBC Radio Wales in my life beforehand, but I was contacted by presenter Adam Walton in the middle of 2002. It turned out he'd played "52 Scrubs" a couple of times, and was sufficently interested in what I did to offer me a session for his show. My original intention was to do a few bootlegs and leave it at that, but by December when I'd finally got things sorted it had become a continuous 34 minute mix - the first longform project I'd ever undertaken.

It was important to me to make it more than a load of pre-existing tracks shoved together,so it was all new stuff. It was all done with a combination of Sonic Foundry Acid V2, Cool Edit Pro and Amiga-style tracker software on a Cyrix 233 based PC and a pair of headphones from a Aiwa personal stereo. I played additional bass and keyboards on some parts (particularly on the backing track for "What About Us"), and John Lydon gave the PiL bit a sort of thumbs up. A small victory, of sorts. All seems so long ago now.

I think they were just in a better position to capitalise on it all, really. I have to admit that their early mixes introduced me to most of that early bastard pop stuff, as I was already a fan of them as a band, although I'd already been doing similar things many years previously. It's just that I'd never even thought of putting such things out there 'in public' before hearing those Stu-Bru mixes... ah well.

It's a pitty that ten years after "As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2", 2 Many DJ's still think they were the first to do mashup mixes. Soundhog tried to set the record straight with his "As Heard On Radio Soundhog" mixes, but I guess that was too underground for the Dewaele brothers to notice. ;)
