Mix 018
Phwoar yeeeah!! Joss straight out of the gate dropping a new Talking Drums Radio mix like a proverbial hot beverage right into your lap. Jesus! What are you going to do!?! Tenting your trousers, frantic scrabbling about for napkins to try and mop it all up but I’m afraid the damage is done. Third degree burns all over your nethers. But this time it feels… good?
That’s right. Housey heaters all the way through. Taken up and down and all round the… houses(!?) A quick glance over that tracklist tells you everything what this is all about.

Mix 017
Well now. It’s been proper ages since we pumped out a TD Radio mix. Very off the cuff and loose approach to it. Head round Patrick’s gaff and knock it out. So what? Some of the mixing is also off the cuff and loosey goose? What of it? We had fun.
Opening with @approach_release ‘So Wrong’ - maybe my favourite. When the guitar comes in? Get out of here. Pure heartbreak. Left field creepster disco then frankly all over the shop as far as selections go. Something for everyone! Tunes from Caravan off one of our fave labels @planettriprecords , Robert Palmer, @mark_grusane , Fiona Franklin, Dazion… you know the score.
Special mention to the closer on good friend @backyardbalearic label Melodies Of Love 12” - bonefied.
Stream and download off the TD website.
Mix 016
Another addition to our mix series comes from the ever-lovable @bobby.snacks_ This time celebrating that GARIES white label that came out a bit ago. First of a two parter (@approach_release is rolling out the second) this is the ‘Coming Up Mix’ - make of that what you will.
This one features the GARIES tune by the mysterious BS. Who also happens to share the same initials as our very own Bobby Snacks. Funny that.
Either way our very own b-boy has turned it out and delivered a solid gold performance. Give it a blast off our website.
Mix 015
The second part to the GARIES mixes is here people. The first go at it from @bobby.snacks_ is answered by @approach_release with his ‘Coming Down’ mix.
Featuring the Spice Route track off the new Percussion Pals record as well as the AR ‘Comin’ Apart At The Edit’ off that GARIES white label a few weeks back.
Give it a gander
Mix 014
It’s not a phase mum!!1! Turns out we’re not quite over our Gothy guff brought on by the Miserymix record. New mix for March. Springy pumpers made by fools in time for fools spring? Weather is shit so it’s something nice to mope to at least. We’ve opted for the lesser known downwards curve technique as well - start fast and end slow. See how that works for you
Mix 013
Talking Drums radio is back again for your listening pleasure. Miserymix delivers number 13 after their cracking EP on Drum Chums. Unlucky for some but not for you - expect a solid mood plus an insight into the goth Italo noise we keep coining anytime we can. Give it a listen 🌚🎱💣🪩⚫️🇮🇹
Mix 012
@bobby.snacks_ coming in hot, wheels down ready to land his mix for our Talking Drums radio. Captain captain! Can’t see any gremlins on the wing but there’s a lot of heavy tunes weighing us down. We’ll be alright, Snacks about to take us to the dizzying heights. Mile high baby. ✈️
Not sure why I’m alluding to flight in this blurb. His mix has nothing to do with aeroplanes. But it’s good and that’s all that matters. Get stuck in. Like me. I’m listening to it right now.
Mix 011
When we did the artwork for this it was pure scorchio outside. And we were loving it. Had a bit of a muck about hosting it onto our site as mixcloud was asking for money and right about now we’re skint. Now the colours don’t reflect the total rainy crap fest we’re living through but what can you do? Maybe give mix number 11 a blast? With tracks from @rufdug @georgehysteric and @beforeidieprojectsltd we can usher in warmer climates once more so I can dip in the pool/industrial run-off site near the gaff again.
Mix 010
Hippy Disco and stoner sleaze abound in number 10 of our Talking Drums Radio. We got the two long-form Captain Attractive (@therealeddiec )tracks in there for your drum chum listening pleasure. For those that took the time and effort to listen them up on YouTube and then also buy…. This one’s dedicated to you ❤️
Mix 009
It’s pre-boat season apparently so as a warm up for this illustrious time we’ve delivered a bumper-sized yacht-flavoured mix. The musicians were likely blasted on 70s Boogie Nights-esque cocaine but it also sounds like it fits on radio 2 when we were growing up… how could that combination fail?
Soundtrack your own greasy below deck times. Link in the bio
Mix 008
A rather attractive proposition in number 8 (burp) of our radio series. Captain Attractive a.k.a. @therealeddiec has dropped a doozy and something super appropriate for not only the current weather (pure heaters am I right?) but our upcoming party too. Put you in the mood so to speak. There also may be a certain track hidden in there which will be making its way on to a Drum Chums future release incase you want to invest in futures.
Mix 007
Talking Drums Mix 007 is up. Transport oneself to double oh heaven with some pure-grade picks from the pantry. Nice robotic propulsion modern tech with some old favourites… all about right for soon to be sunny weather. We hope. 🤖 🦾🐙
Mix 006
Mixxx number Sixxx is up and about for your listening pleasure… 🐸 some real spongebob frog vibes, spacey Balearic and dream house in prep for nicer weather and garden-hanging with the frogspawn. It’s dressed to impress, so don’t depress, just caress your ears with finesse! 🐸 🐸 🐸
Mix 005
Keeping you on your toes with wild release patterns, here is Talking Drums’ Radio Mix number 5. Nice pump energy to this one… almost a bit like it’s mambo’s number-sake.
Mix 004
New Mix for Talking Drums Radio 🎶 from Approach Release. Who coincidentally has some serious vinyl action out on Chums very soon.... Soundtrack your no mans land time while we wait all for NYE.
Mix 003
New Talking Drums Radio business... number 3 taken from a part of the Halloween party set (thanks to everyone who came down, it was class). Give it a blast
Mix 002
