Another Green World

About Me

Hello, I'm a sometime balearic/disco/chill out DJ and this is my oasis of balearica.

My Interests

Music, politics, tasty organic food, disco and dance culture, darts, British post-war social history, 70s sitcoms, bad hair pieces, Kenneth Williams and Charlie Hawtrey, asylum seeker chic, former Radio 1 DJs especially DLT, British serial killers (did you know Dennis Neilsen was an ELO fan), love and laughter.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone inspirational...anyone with a luxurious disco beard.

Music:

Balearic beats...and a bit of disco. Lovely "chill out" stuff made by oddball hairy jazz artists in the 1970s and strange Europeans in the 80s. Grace Jones, Art of Noise and Bryan Ferry. And Mike Francis.

Movies:

Hana Bi, This Is Spinal Tap, Downfall, The Exorcist, Godfather Part 2, Taxi Driver, The Conversation, Happiness, Magnolia, Carry On At Your Convenience, Halloween, Blade Runner, Ghost World, Ed Wood, La Haine, Groundhog Day, Scum, Life Is Sweet, Secrets And Lies, The Lives of Others, Pan's Labryinth and lots of others...

Television:

Awful 70s sitcoms like Are You Being Served. I'm Alan Partridge. Good documentaries and arts programmes. Curb Your Enthusiasm is the greatest TV show of the last 10 years.

Books:

Coming Up For Air by George Orwell, Staying On by Paul Scott, American Psycho, The Informers, Less Than Zero, Wuthering Heights, The Kenneth Williams Diaries, The Buddha of Suburbia, Lucky Jim, too many others to remember.

My Blog

Just becuase a picture happens to be erotic, does not make it pornographic.

"Angela likes Demis Roussos. Tony likes Demis Roussos. I like Demis Roussos. Sue would like to hear Demis Roussos. So please, do you think we can have Demis Roussos?" Go on then....

The art of self defence...

Time for a trip hop revival with a bit of head nodding niceness from the mid 1990s. This kind of thing is so far out of fashion it's untrue, which is one reason I like it. Clever samples and lus...

Standing in the corner....in a coma

Another weird new wave Fat Ronny play. Quality balearic/gothic vibes that is a guaranteed to leave any dancefloor empty and see the girls running for the door....

Remember Amanda

A very unlikely balearic classic, but I recently discovered it was played at Amnesia by Alfredo. Must have been played when everyone was running around fucked on mescaline with the sun comi...

New very old global chillout mix

Here's an old mix I did around December 1994. Lots of downtempo/ethnic sounding stuff. Apologies in advance for the appearance of a Deep Forest track on it.   Apart from that, it'...

Time for another tune

So balearic it actually hurts, this is one of my favourite APP tracks. It lurks very innocently at the end of a mostly ignored album. I reckon this is AP doing a Beach Boys tribute. Or Pink Floyd cir...
