This week we chat with the amazing, sign painting Heather Hardison! She chatted with us from the Bay Area over beers and we learned all about how she got into the world of sign painting. She told us all about how she got her start drawing dead bugs, working for New Bohemia signs, and being on call for lettering at Facebook. She was a pleasure to chat with and we think you all will agree!

Here is my recorded NYE mix from the New Bohemia event, held at the Mint in San Francisco. Good vibes, great crew, tons of fantastic performances, interactive art - this event really had it all. I had the opportunity to be the opening DJ in the main room, getting the task of warming up the room and setting the tone right. Enjoy the next 2 hours. Track listing: 1.

To celebrate the launch of the Hogarth Shakespeare project, in which today's best-loved authors create new novels based on the plays of Shakespeare, we have a podcast special with Jeanette Winterson and Howard Jacobson in conversation with Alex Clark. What drew them to the project, what made them choose the play they did, and what were the challenges of adapting the Bard? Jeanette Winterson's The Gap of Time is published on October 1st Howard Jacobson's Shylock Is My Name will be published in February next year. http://www.vintage-books.co.uk/HogarthShakespeare/Follow us on twitter: twitter.com/vintagebooksSign up to our bookish newsletter to hear all about our new releases, see exclusive extracts and win prizes: po.st/vintagenewsletterJeanette Winterson - The Gap in TimeA baby girl is abandoned, banished from London to the storm-ravaged American city of New Bohemia. Her father has been driven mad by jealousy, her mother to exile by grief.Seventeen years later, Perdita doesn't know a lot about who she is or where she's come from - but she's about to find out.Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Tale vibrates with echoes of Shakespeare's original and tells a story of hearts broken and hearts healed, a story of revenge and forgiveness, a story that shows that whatever is lost shall be found.Howard Jacobson - Shylock Is My NameA re-envisaging of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, from the Man Booker Prize-winner and our great chronicler of Jewish life.‘Who is this guy, Dad? What is he doing here?’With an absent wife and a daughter going off the rails, wealthy art collector and philanthropist Simon Strulovitch is in need of someone to talk to. So when he meets Shylock at a cemetery in Cheshire’s Golden Triangle, he invites him back to his house. It’s the beginning of a remarkable friendship ...

It's been great to see drum and bass making it's way onto more dance floors, and Space Cowboys was especially glad to find room for it at this year's Breakfast of Champions. Kimba was one of this year's junglists and we're excited to have her set on this week's RIPEcast.

Here's what Kimba says about the mix: "I was stoked and honored to receive the booking for Breakfast of Champions 2014 this year, of all events in SF, BOC is certainly on every DJ's bucket list. To top it off in an even more awesome way, getting to play a drum & bass set was the icing on the cake. My NYE was spent at New Bohemia where I played 3-4am, my BOC set was opening the side room 6-730am, marathon night is an understatement, but I'm a trooper and powered through. Settled in to the back room with an intro of 90s hip hop which I quickly learned is more difficult to mix than I anticipated (hence it's absence in this mix lol). I figured liquid and ragga dnb were how I'd like to spend my morning after being up all night and that's how I formulated this mix. Taking it from some sweet liquidy sounds progressing into that classic ragga jungle which everyone knows and loves (as you can see from my track listing I totally had a binge on the Jungle Cakes Label.) Excellent way to start a day of debaucherous day drinking if I do say so myself. Big ups and thank yous to Space Cowboys for a great DJ experience and the pleasure of gracing BOC with some DnB! PS - Congo Natty's 'Lionness' track is definitely my theme song." About Kimba: Kimba is a fresh face behind the decks and has been bringing a storm of energy to her DJ career since it took flight in 2010. Kimba has graced the decks with her warrior-like presence throughout California from her home in San Francisco and throughout the entire West Coast from San Diego to Seattle. Kimba brings a sound best described as Elegant Warrior Breaks, Drum&Bass and Techno ~ a fusion of Sweet and Heavy sounds programmed to take you on a journey through every mix. She brings deep dark basslines intertwined with melodic and musical themes to touch a cord in every dancer. From the young age of 17, Kimba has been involved in the San Francisco Bay Area Electronic Music scene as a Promoter and now DJ for clubs, undergrounds, renegades, and festivals spanning over California. First turned on by the sweet jazzy sounds of deep house music, she eventually discovered the broken beat and has been in love ever since. Kimba always finds a way to incorporate the musical and instrumental nature of her first influences into the heavy forces of bass, breakbeats, drum&bass and even techno. She truly loves this music and community and is always stoked to play any gig, from a small party to nightclub, a 10,000 person street faire or a radio show. Getting people onto the dancefloor and seeing smiling, dancing people is really what makes her happy to be a DJ. www.djKimba.com Facebook.com/djkimbarose Twitter.com/djkimbarose

Thanks to the mans like Illum Sphere and Jonny Dub, Groovement landed these two LA hipsters in front of its microphone back in April: Gaslamp was playing fastbecominglegendary club night Hoya Hoya together with Sean Vinylment of Finders Keepers at the Roadhouse in Manchester, while FlyLo was visiting the Mint Lounge on a Monday night in an event put on by Hit n Run, Hoya Hoya and New Bohemia. A little warning: the FL interviews swerves into deep geek territory. If you’re averse to videogames and comics, turn away after the first twenty minutes…

This was a seriously bizarre night... after watching the RZA MC with his DJ Kevvy Kev to launch Futuresonic, with around 25 people present, Rich Reason and Jonny Dub led the way for us all to catch the one and only Roots Manuva at the Mint Lounge. RZA and crew enjoyed the Mint Lounge veggie patties while the New Bohemia boys, who presented the night, sorted Groovement an interview with the man Rodney. Short but sweet, here'yare... Thanks to New Bohemia for sorting the interview, and having the passion to put on events in the first place - www.myspace.com/newbohemia Originally broadcast 4th May 2008. Runnning time: 18:59 Unity Radio supported Futuresonic 2008.
