Like a lot of people, I'm passionate about music. I'm also passionate about potential, about new music. I used to despair at the lack of access to great music (lousy radio and now safe apps that keep it cozy): We all like the music we latched onto when we were 13-17. Fine, and yet, creativity didn't stop, people all over the world are making wonderful music, new music of every kind, that is as good or better than what we each know and love.

I started out with a reel-to-reel tape recorder taping the latest singles from the juke-box at University then DJ-ing parties with the reels playing between records (and allowing me to vault over and join in the dance when I wanted). Then, finding myself employed running a bank's computers I started The Recorded Music Society and hired out pubs where I played The Stranglers' "Peaches" immediately after Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto #2 - punks and bankers - bonkers!

After John Peel died and Mixing It got axed, there was a void. I tried to fill that: 8 years later my show was listened to in 80+ countries weekly, as I brought music from 1000's of sources together for a weekly distillation of 2 hours. It takes a lot of work, databases, filters, communication and dedication and it costs money.

I keep hearing from people who want the show back - it was selected as the best place anywhere on the internet to hear new music by Louder Than War - To bring back the show I need to, at least, cover my costs (up to $50 a week not including my 10-25 hours).

So please become a Patron - it's straightforward, and you control it - all amounts are much appreciated.

Let's get the show back on air!

PS: Later we can do bigger things - a new studio, studio sessions, a world educational tour! Music is hope, music is both descendent and transcendent... I love it.

Thanks for this comment:
Het beste muziekprogramma dat ik in tijden heb gehoord, ik ontdekte het een aantal jaar geleden en ontdekte daardoor weer heel wat nieuwe, goede en spannende muziek; wat zou het mooi zijn als het weer terugkwam.
