Monday… You can’t hide, but you can Ron. You can Ron Trent. It’s in fact Ronday. The November edition of the Eclectic Corner is now available ad libitum: mixcloud.com/MartinTHC/eclectic-corner-november-2025/

Since I was compelled to look this up, here’s a link for anyone else in a similar position 🙃 foxandhisfriends.bandcamp.com/album/report...

Yes, this sounds exactly how it looks, superb electronic music that would have had Vangelis looking over his shoulder. This is Kornelije Kovač however and Report From Sarajevo, XIV Winter Olympic Games. Top gear.

Sister Nancy bringing the Friday afternoon in the zone

A proper treat this, recorded on June 15, 1976. Dexter Gordon going alone on top of Danish jazz royalty Alex Riel on drums (that man is funky) and uber-legendary double bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (a poet on his instrument) on Lullaby For A Monster. Ace…!!

Nearly weekend, morning cuppa with The Honey Bear by Hampshire & Foat to mark the occasion

This was my first encounter with Greg Foat back in the day. Dark Is The Sun is the title. Remains superb

Feeling like a bit of timeless 4/4 deep house is in order? If so, you should check out the Eclectic Corner @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social at 7pm CET tonight, where I’ll be spinning these superb Ron Trent 12s

We’re practicing safe music this morning, so Protection is in order. Here’s Massive Attack

Sven Wunder gets to start the new week, this is Eastern Flowers, sounding like Alessandroni and Morricone on an Anatolian fuzzy funk tip. Always a great album, but then again, all of Mr. Wunders long players are.

Good Sunday morning from the Grand Duchy

Meeting of jazz titans, Benny Carter & Oscar Peterson w/ Joe Pass, Martin Drew and Dave Young. Effortlessly swinging affair

One of my all time favourite hip hop albums, Main Source’s Breaking Atoms

Any hip hoppers on the line? Brand Nubian’s One For All doing rounds here…

Gerry Mulligan is out meeting people yet again. Today he’s running into Johnny Hodges.

Bit on the early side of things, but for the festive season, the Eclectic Corner selection @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social looks like this. Sounds even better mind you :)

How’s the day going you ask?

Getz gets to meet Mulligan mulling over who to meet next. But let’s stay with this lovely encounter in hi-fi for now

Hank Mobley with a hang over? Who knows, in any case, it’s Jazz Message #2 from ‘57 featuring a whole lot of amazing talent - and it’s solid gold.

It’s Monday - but it’s also the first day of the holiday week. Alden Tyrell’s Times Like These (1999-2006) let it be known

The kids are coming from behind, in this case my 10yo blasting Lady Gaga. Love it ❤️

Halloween-DONE

Totally Wyatt’d at the moment in the company of His Greatest Misses

We’re big fans of Yusef Lateef around here and Jazz Mood - his 1957 debut as band leader - remains such a great calling card, absolutely love his open approach to instrumentation

Happy Halloween!

The New Elvin Jones Trio is picking up the pieces and Puttin’ It Together for @bluenoterecords.bsky.social and the rest of us

No matter if this post sinks without a trace, it’s Trent-ing all the same. As is Ron Trent, the deep house maestro. The November issue of the Eclectic Corner is dedicated him and some of his sublime, timeless music. Keep your eyes and ears peeled @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social in due course

Been a while since Róisín Murphy has graced our decks, and today is all about her. Here’s Róisín Machine, a perfectly sculptured and superb album

Bobby Hutcherson on a latin tip to launch the weekend. This is Montara @bluenoterecords.bsky.social, a Tone Poet cum cocktail bar mixer

This new Pablo reissue is insanely good sounding. The Clark Terry Five’s currently playing Memories Of Duke in our living room - yes, from vinyl - but it does sound like they’re actually here. Music’s superb too I should add. Pablo Today, definitely Pablo again tomorrow

RIP Dave Ball :( Will be giving Floatation a spin tonight

Few artworks are as Saint Etienne-ish as this one I reckon, but it’s in fact yet another Råå album, their latest I think, it’s called Vandrar i ett regn med Milles. Outstanding…

More Råå, this is Ljungens Lag. Beautiful, pastoral, dubby, delicious

Going to spin some Råå this afternoon, this is Himmelsblå. Swedish motorik electronica of the highest order

Brigitte Fontaine est…? Here. She’s here with us. Jean Claude Vannier too. As you were

Solid? I’m close to calling that false marketing, it should as minimum be called Superb. Grant Green @bluenoterecords.bsky.social - another golden entry in the Classic Series

Getting started with a collection of funky/dubby/boogie-y tracks from Alek Lee. Title is Cold Feet and it’s out on Aussie label Isle Of Jura

Need a musical boost to add vitamins to your Monday? The Eclectic Corner October show is now available to sooth your ears: www.mixcloud.com/MartinTHC/ec...

Daybreak is the new long player from Sven Wunder. Plenty of soaring strings, lush chords and crispy drums to make the ears smile

Having lost my original copy decades ago, I’m so, so happy to welcome Stezo’s golden age hip hop masterpiece Crazy Noise back into the collection. Stezo was a dancer for EPMD before he recorded this utter banger.

Freddie Redd and company greeting the Friday, this is Shades Of Redd @bluenoterecords.bsky.social

Oh you lucky people, you can dial in to the October edition of the Eclectic Corner @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social once again tonight at 7pm CET, if you missed it last week.

The legend that is Charles Lloyd has once again turned in a monster album for @bluenoterecords.bsky.social

Have a splendidly beautiful Southern Hawker

Good morning, we’re immersed in Future Nuggets, Sounds Of The Unheard From Romania Vol 2. Lovely electronics

10yo wishes you all a happy weekend

Today we have our jazz Sonny Side Up

Alva Noto’s Xerrox Vol 1 to wind down the evening

Dinner to the sounds of El Mahdy Jr and The Spirit Of Fucked Up Places.
