Collective Joy

This blog is capturing music I collect and play out, pictures I take or cherish and a bit of thinking about urbanism I love to share.


I am currently hosting a fortnightly show on Shoreditch Radio and together with Giulio Dj present the Sunday Soiree "Misty Macumba".

Latest Show as broadcasted by Shoreditch Radio. New music from Ovals self released album. Another track from the Roedelius album, new music from Quiet Evenings and from International feels recordings, new 12inch there by The Sonic aesthetics also a track I wanted to play for while from Dylan Carlson (Earth) and his DrCarlsonalbion & the Hackney lass project. hope you like it.

Just uploaded Collective Joy #6 2013 to Mixcloud. Listen now!

Collective Joy #4 2013

Latest show now in the archive for you to catch up. New music from Roedelius and Lloyd Cole, a surprising, very good album. A new track from the new Space Dimension Controller album; new tracks from EPs by Simple and Mohammad. Also a track from the great reissue of a Oliver Lake Album on Universal Sounds and some more recent favourites from Pharaohs, Nacho Patrol and TM404.

Collective Joy #3 2013

The first February show starts with with some emerging talent Bering Strait aka Jack Lever on Apollo records. Also featuring two tracks from the new Ep from Jaki Liebezeit, Irmin Schmidt, Burnt Friedman and Jono Pomore, the first time all four of them playing together under the name Cyclopean. New ep on Spoon / Mute records followed by an album very soon. Ans all that after Kraftwerk played some fantastic shows in London. Little krautrock overkill ;)  Anyway I am also playing a few tracks from the archive Tom Green from a great album named Music for MRI scanners, very good, not sure why not more people know about it.  Also some Fennesz & R. Sakamoto and some dubby electronic sounds from the Italians Donato Dozzy and Neel. Enjoy the show!

Yes it’s time for another Misty Macumba session on Sunday the 26th Feb. The first one this year and Giulio DJ & and myself are terribly excited to have Jonny Nash as our special guest.  Jonny Nash has produced some of our favorite records as part of the production outfits Discossessions and Sombrero Galaxy. So for you all he will spin some very fine Sunday records! Can’t wait really. As usual we take over the Star of Bethnal Green from 7pm and its free all evening.
