Scotch Sessions

With a decorated career in Commercial Radio, Ian Skippen has had a life surrounded by music. As an Uncle of mine (who always was King of Dad-jokes) I always felt he would be one to really enjoy doing a Scotch Session of his ten most memorable songs of his life. It’s a rare candid glimpse...

Recorded across some dodgy communication lines between Copenhagen and Sydney in 2017, Stuart Cox and Peter Curtis had been talking this session up for some time, as the eighties represents the glory of our childhood. The bigger question which songs to choose? Get your leg warmers out, crimp your hair and put on a fluoro...

Some people are loud. Some people have opinions. Some are simply from Long Island. This one guy called Dylan is a music boffin who I am glad has joined my group of friends to add a bit of colour and the best mane of grey hair one has seen. A former frontman himself of bands...

Twas very wet for our second session of the Way Out West 2016 excursion and due to the restrictions around getting alcohol in Sweden, we failed to get Scotch. Never mind, since we had other supplies and always plenty more tunes to share. Strap yourself in as the dribbling duo do their best to keep the weather demons at bay. Ten tunes like the old sessions, I promise.

Formerly known as session 13, ’twas the year 2013 and Pete decided to commence proceedings with Patron Tequila while Stuart claims to have the best five tracks of the year following the Strugglers AGM. Listen out for the falling chairs, the dropped glasses and general looseness that insued in one of the all-time great sessions....

It is here, the Big Daddy,  the Grand Poobah, the songs that shaped the life of a manchild from Brisvegas called Stuart Cox. Hosted by Pete Curtis in Gothenburg on the weekend of Way Out West festival, expect an in-depth exploration of genres and scotch flavoured banter. From the suburbs of North Brisbane to the...

  This twelfth Scotch Session was long lost and only created from metadata hacked off the governement’s spying computers with the help of Ed Snowden. With Pete still firmly in married mode and the Coxinator sacrificing major social time to get to the Bronte pad they imbibe the fine Bowmore smoky goodness and Glenfiddich 18...

Today we are joined by Peter Curtis’s Canberra childhood friend and face of eternal youth, Michael Rossiter. Unfortunately that also meant a group of noisy hangers-on who care not for microphone sensitivity in the Tamarama pad. So we let Rossy go through his most influential tracks while accompanied by a very fine drop in Ardbeg...

As we delve into songs that define your lifelong musical journey, it’s time to turn the focus to our host sometimes DJ and musical guru Peter Curtis. Recorded in May 2015, this podcast preceded his relocation to Copenhagen and the streamlining and migration of our site.  The restriction for Pete was a ten-song Scotch Session...

A strange session indeed. With our guest Bucky on board, we throw in a mix of moderate electronic soothers while starting on the Pinot Noir. We even offer up the review of Daft Punk’s new single. Like I said, strange. Tracks listed below: 1. Underworld – Faxed Invitation 2. Stumbleine – Cherry Blossom 3. The...

This man is not a camel. Or a marsupial. Neither is Curtis. Ten sessions in now with the scotches and we lit the Bronte studio up with Aussie-themed tunes mixed in with those alien to this country, but touring with the various festivals. It was Australia Day so this is probably best suited to a...

Well it’s been a wee while, but finally DJ Curtis and the Coxinator have managed to get their act in order and drink some scotch and play music. It’s never pretty but they fight their way through the technical shortcomings to bring you the best of Sunday chill with style. Word… Track listing below gang:...

he boys are back on the decks and mixing the best fresh, new, mild-mannered tunes the world has to offer. Yes, there is Scotch being drunk and random banter covering major issues like ipad sexual apps, the Champions League and Eurotrash. It’s not mature but it is informative and smooth. Tracks below for all and...

A rather more mild session this time sees the boys hitting a Scotch blend of celluloid significance with no distractors in the background. Look out for some fresh tunes mixed with some Pete Curtis speccies of old. Grab the pipe and slippers and let the chilled rhythms tickle you through the evening. Tracks below as...

Formerly known as Scotch Session 4, his time round the buffoons known as Coxy and Curtis manage to down some Speyside gold whilst exploring some mild-tempo rhythms from across the globe. Some you may know, some you may not. Pete is sent into uncontrollable fit of laughter and the Coxinator gets his notes mixed up...
