#NowPlaying The Home Current - All Them Sewers A Point Blank Dream (Subexotic Records) subexoticrecords.bandcamp.com/music @thehomecurrent.bsky.social @subexotic.bsky.social

Anyone feeling like this today? Perc Trax Ltd hammering home the point

Anyone done the ‘album of the year’ post yet?

Some of you will know that I save up throughout the year to Merry Christmas myself - usually with records! Here’s what I bought this Christmas. I’ll have you know that @thehomecurrent.bsky.social cost me every penny of these. 😂 Thanks, Martin! 🙏 #vinylrecords #vinylcollector #vinylsky #musicsky

Happy New Year all! Many thanks to everyone who has supported my music and/or listened to my radio shows this year, the music continues in 2026 and I’m super excited to be able to share a brand new album with you in February. Thank you again so much, see you on the other side x

NY’s crates poised…

Calling all library music heads - massive recommendation: This 1969 joint by Akira Miyazawa recently reissued by Japanese label King Records, is essential listening - as if a Japanese soundtrack to Once Upon A Time In The West / Good/Bad/Ugly, crispy drums, soaring trumpets etc

Tonight my annual @darktrain.bsky.social New Year mix goes out and I hope you will enjoy it if you tune in. This bunch is ready to entertain you! Thanks as always to Kate for putting her trust in my record collection 🙌

New Year’s blessings to you! On Moonday’s show @thehomecurrent.bsky.social brings a kaleidoscope of pizazz and glitter to the Train with his luminous NY 7” mix. Leaving UFO Central [Warminster Community Radio] y Radio MINERVA at 2200 GMT/ 1800 ART. 🟡🟣🟢🔴⚪️🟠⚫️

Yet another top drawer International Anthem release, this is SML’s How You Been long player

Initials BB. RIP

Tortoise say you can Touch this

Clifford Brown & Max Roach w/ George Morrow, Harold Land and Richie Powell adding to the essentials of jazz vocabulary

I don’t do year lists as I wouldn’t know where to start or end. That being said, Michael Wollny Trio’s Living Ghosts might be my album of the year. Think Weatherall, Autechre and DJ Shadow doing improvised piano led jazz for Mo’ Wax - or something. It’s phenomenal in any case.

It’s an annual delight and a profound honour to be doing the traditional New Year mix for Kate’s superb @darktrain.bsky.social show. This year’s 7” family photo looks like this. Hope you will enjoy the selection if you tune in on Monday.

Bringing Moonday’s Train into 2026 with joy, fresh air and exotic vigour is Martin Jensen (@thehomecurrent.bsky.social). This is Martin’s 4th consecutive year on the NY DT footplate and the deep dive into his compelling collection of 7” records is one hot smooth ticket to celebrate! 🎉🥳🪩

Remembering Nick Williams, a long time member of the @phonicarecords.bsky.social family and behind Meda Fury which has released a bunch of gems including DJ Seinfeld’s Season 1 EP. RIP Nick, always appreciated our chats over the years, you will never be forgotten.

Sensory assault in the best possible way: Johnny Griffin’s A Blowing Session, Griffin went for fellow tenor sax men Hank Mobley & John Coltrane + Lee Morgan on trumpet for the front line w/ Wynton Kelly (p), Paul Chambers (b) and Art Blakey (dr) on rhythm duties @bluenoterecords.bsky.social

Now this is one delicious slice of UK jazz anno 1972. Don Rendell Quintet’s Space Walk. Utterly amazing

Merry Christmas to one and all. John Coltrane Quartet’s Ballads keeping us chilled

The joy of going to record shops…

As the old saying goes: listening to music on a cosy afternoon is the cherry on the decks

Daily house chore essentials: putting away laundry and records

Remember Hans? He’s gone all in this year

Party is still very much ON

How’s Club Kitchen going you ask? We’re at this… Perfect pop? I think so

Good morning. We have every intention to have an old school Club Kitchen session today. Enjoy your Sunday!

This is one school I love to go to, Prince Istari’s Riddim Dub School. I’ve followed the majority of classes and plan to catch up on the few I’ve missed asap

And then International Anthem drops THIS! A remix package of Jeff Parker ETA IVtet’s The Way Out Of Easy album. Remixes are curated by a number of select record shops from around the world (asking local artists to remix) and sold through the very same shops. What a great idea!

Close call ;)

Kenny Burrell’s Have Yourself A Soulful Little Christmas soundtracking the fact that the holidays are officially here. Hard to fathom, but there we go :)

Last day before the holidays - good morning!

Digi dub of the finest sort, Gorgon Sound’s Find Jah Way. An absolute belter

Bit of dub techno action this afternoon, this is The Climax (Basic Reshape) - timeless…

It’s that time again, so friends, let the record spin

Why not treat yourself to the Eclectic Corner’s December edition which is now available to stream? www.mixcloud.com/MartinTHC/ec...

This morning, Dec 16 in 1944, began what came to be known as The Battle of The Bulge, Hitler’s last, violent - but ultimately futile - roll of the dice. It was mainly fought in Luxembourg and Belgium. In 2019 I released an album called The Ardennes, commemorating the battle.

Kind words from @spacediscojeff.bsky.social about the Yule 25 comp! Wishing everyone a pleasant festive season!

‘Yule 25’. 💿 EP on @subexotic.bsky.social featuring: @thehomecurrent.bsky.social @heronandcrane.bsky.social #ListeningCenter @david-soulscorch.bsky.social Perfectly judged electronica, vaguely festive in a satisfyingly off-kilter way. Love it! #christmasmusic #NowPlaying

In other news, my studio now finally has a properly sized mirror ball…

Postie's been 😍 This evening's cooking soundtrack will have a Christmas/Winter theme, with the slightly surreal moment of listening to one of my "Rural District Lo-fi Recording Project" songs #NowPlaying Yule 25 - VA #MusicSky Here's a Bandcamp link 👇 subexoticrecords.bandcamp.com/album/yule-25

Lee Perry taking us into the Friday zone disco devil style. Have a great weekend!

We’re attending a couple of concerts Yusef Lateef did for Swedish Radio in in 67 and 72 respectively. Golden Flower, Live In Sweden.

Wackie’s wares on the platter, this is Prince Douglas and Dub Roots. So good.

It’s that time of year, Vince Guaraldi with the immortal A Charlie Brown Christmas LP

Seems like a few people have dug out James Ferraro’s Last American Hero LP lately, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon
