Radio Clash Music Podcast

A podcast of queer, non-binary and trans joy (and music by same), going out to my community who are facing a lot of bad things atm. A much belated podcast (I am not podfading, honest!) that was ready to go in January and then had no time to record it! I talk about what's going […]

Over 2 months since my last podcast, the longest time away since the hiatus and 2008, but I've been busy with funerals, probate, and grieving. I think this will likely be my last podcast of 2024, good riddance to this year but unlikely to do a Xmas podcast for the first time ever because I […]

Four weeks ago, John my partner of 27 years died. I have the task of arranging the funeral, which is this afternoon 19th September 2024 at 2pm (I recorded this two days ago). This includes the music…the saddest gig for any DJ, let alone the saddest thing I've done for someone I loved so deeply. […]

A delayed podcast as I've been off in the woods – but we have a feature on the two ‘Songs of the Summer', the new albums by G3RST and Mark David Hadley and talk Twisted Firestarters and Mashup Summer Camp, actual camping and hiking, and why July is always Summertime Sadness – with some songs […]

Apologies for the late podcast, just scraping in for May, and the last one was early April! I've been off walking the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way in Scotland – all 170ish miles, so a LONG walk and a lot of wild camping, which seemed appropriate as it's about to be Pride […]

RIVER iS BEAUTIFUL! Fresh off a long walk along the River Thames – over a 100 miles sweetie – so we have a London and water themed podcast, an imagined soundtrack for my new YouTube video series on the Thames Path – cos I can't afford the rights! And new mashups from me and others […]

Sometimes you need a room full strangers to make you feel less alone, A place dark enough to make yourself unknown, unknowable,but…home somehow,A place to hide somehow, at least that's how it feels. Antony Szmierek No murder on the dancefloor with a spoken word club mix about lhaving a place to hide with your rum […]

It's been a while since I did a Deep Dive, but I finally got round to do another one, this time the joy of being bored in the 1980's waiting for a loading screen, disco (sorry ‘jazz-funk‘ *cough*) on the radio, feeling like you are a robot in a robot's world. You might think boredom […]

Happy 2024, and is it a Happy New Year? Not for me so far…a busted knee, burn out, and was out hiking in the Big Freeze – thankfully not Storm Isha! So a belated New Year episode of Radio Clash including some tracks I loved from 2023, a surprising amount of mashups, new wave electro […]

Happy Xmas from Radio Clash – and have a Perfectly Reasonable New Year, ok? We say goodbye to Shane MacGowan the only way we know how – with a TikTok meme, play lots of silly Christmas tunes, mashups, covers, and even some non-festive stuff like some selections from Mashed At The Sock Hop Vol 2 […]

We wreck the joint with an acid rain of Adonis, Type-303, Paul Funk, Hunter Lombard, Lambrini Girls, Courtney Barnett, Logan Lynn and Makoto with a strangely serious podcast made of acid house bangers new and old, punk, pop, liquid dnb and indie rock. I let the music do the talking about climate change, corruption and […]

A ghostly ‘not halloween' edition of Radio Clash, more Halloween-adjacent than the plastic chinese proxy-Xmas junkfest that Halloween has become. Ghosts of Xmas Capitalism… So we have songs about ghosts, existence, falling out of planes, dark paths, a trance cover of Wendy Carlos, a hard house cover of Somewhere Over The Radio, feminist queer punk, […]

We say hello and wave goodbye to summer, holidays and camping, Autumn is here and so we have a autumnal podcast about change and endings with mashups from virtual camping with PDS Mix's Mashup Summer Camp, and actual camping with music and chat relating to Jaunt 4 where I was walking along the Jurassic Coast. […]

From relatives in Ireland to making artworks down the river, FIFTY FIFTY stanning to Nick Drake covers, Alfred Noyes and nostalgic jungle, slide guitar breakcore and Fleetwood Mac doom metal, Kings of Spain and Bitch Queens, sea journeys, sloops, metal watermarks and shipwrecks, this podcast has it all like a long blue wide winding river. […]

Bagpipes are the new rock n' roll, as is fiddles, accordions and folk is not a four letter word. From London to Scotland via Ireland, we visit hiphop, mashups, deep house, the new ANOHNI album, new Grove and new-ish AFX, and visit two kinds of Drakes (and don't talk about one of them). And the […]

It's a cruel, cruel summer leaving me here on my own…. A summer themed episode of Radio Clash, from track from recently released Summer Booty 2023 to a summer blues mix for driving along Outrun style by the beach with a Ferrari Testarossa (beware the large stone heads! Oh no, that's Space Harrier)…also some tracks […]

It has only taken me a year and a half to get around to the second Deep DIve (!) – I was going to put this out in a few months after the first Deep Dive but never got around to it. The catalyst for this bonus podcast was a new controller – the five […]

Royal Blood is in the air – from that band to musically eviscerating King Charles III and his Coronation with some Royalty Free Music, after we Cha Cha Cha our way around Eurovision, kick off Pride month and pay tribute to Tina Turner who sadly recently died. She was a legend. Disco, punk, hiphop, indie […]

As we gear up for the Coronation (NOT MY KING! Unless he is getting into the swing) here's a mix for your Corona Nation Party. This is partly a twin of 381, but more of a reflective/dancefloor meditation on enjoying life and growing older. It's a lot more fun than that sounds, with creepy blackbirds, […]

Recorded on my 50th birthday, this is the church where I heal my hurt. It's a speed garage special for punk rockers with flowers in their hair (in the pouring rain or buying them for yourself). We also have a tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto, a middle finger to complaining neighbours, various mashups new and old, […]

Get ready for a trip down memory lane with Radio Clash's Psych School podcast, featuring funky tunes from children's TV and records of the 60s and 70s. This deep dive into long-forgotten programs like Play School and Sesame Street is well worth a listen!

Get ready to explore new musical horizons in this podcast. From cosmic electronica to ambient dubby meditation, we dive into the latest tracks from Hallmighty, Karin Dreijer, William Orbit, and more. Don't miss out on the indie occult and psychological britpop, angry Indian metal, and even disco Exorcist proto-mashups. Join us on this journey with Radio Clash as our guide.

Discover the Not Alone podcast, filled with music from the 80s and new music from 80s artists. Paying tribute to Orbital's new album and Depeche Mode's latest single, join in as they salute Trugoy Dove of De La Soul.

Finally a new year podcast just scraping into January (I have been busy with artwork and re-designing the very blog you are looking at). As is traditional this time of year, a wintry reflective podcast looking forward to where we are going and Goin' Back, but with an added Arabic resistance music section in honour […]
