Episode 91
Broadcast August 28, 2025

After a week away, visiting family in Poland, I’m back once again, bringing you another selection of great music to get you through your day.

From the Stockholm’s Northern Electronics, we’ve Toronto’s Rita Mikhail debuting as Trailcam, following releasing over the last decade as E-Saggila. A near decade old liminal space track from Burial. Something from dub techno pioneers Basic Channel and their Rhythm & Sound project. American saxophonist Charles Lloyd. And the deep 170 ambient textures of New York’s Brendon Moeller.

San Francisco’s coatshek imagine a queer bathhouse for a defunct brand of poppers, complete with voiceover from yours truly of the brand. Truly unexpected radio diversions today.

There’s the groovy rolling hip-hop soul of DJ Flea, fresh out on OPAL. DEVO doing what they do best. And the sublime voice of French composer, lyricist, singer, and showman, Charles Trénet.

You’ll hear Trinidad’s Fimber Bravo. Early period Sonic Youth. And, a track from one of my favourite releases of 2024 by Actress.

Manchester jazz breaks group GoGo Penguin make another appearance on the show. You’veFischerspooner. And the rich ambient delight of composers and multi-instrumentalists Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith, who as Disiniblud present their ode to queer utopia.

The evergreen Nirvana make their umpteenth appearance. Clark bangs it out with Thom Yorke. Annie Hall’s deep electro warmth rolls into a new garage cut from Matt Interject, before we go full throttle 91 house vibes with Sabrina Johnston x the Brothers in Rhythm.

Winding down but upping the queer direction we bop along to Patrick Cowley and Sylvester, finishing on the piano man himself, Elton John.

Had a ball with this one. Have a wonderful weekend y’all.

Each week Mx Darkfloor soundtracks your morning, setting you up for the day. Drawing on many styles and genres. From deep drone, ambient, and dub, through to jazz, grunge, jungle, and breaks. There’s side quests into downtempo, trip-hop, and hip-hop. As well as approachable experimental sound, African rhythms, and Asian beats. To folk, no wave, shoegaze, psych, and fuzzy sludge.

The takeaway is you never know what they’ll play, but it’ll be day friendly, good music.
