Cafe Del M12

About Me

ALLFM 96.9 (Manchester) & www.allfm.org.... Sundays, 11pm - 1amOne balmy summer's evening back in 2002, Enchanted Gordon wandered in through a broken door in a back alley in Longsight M12, and found himself mired in the web of ALLFM 96.9, Manchester's original and best community radio station. After about 20 minutes training he was on air with a show called - in a moment of passing whimsy he's been regretting ever since - the Cafe del M12.We've been on air late Sunday evenings ever since. EG presents roughly two weeks in four, with Misty Phil and The Other Two sharing the lurve once a month.We serve up a variety of bittersweet cocktails of downtempo, ambient, electronica and aural oddities. Over the years we've had sessions, interviews, exclusive mixes and live sets from the likes of Boom Bip, Matthew Herbert, Ulrich Schnauss, Alucidnation, Robert Lippok, Slovo, A Guy Called Gerald and countless others.There are always some new tunes, always a few classics, and always a few curveball surprises.If you check it and enjoy it, please let us know.Peace.xx

Member Since: 31/01/2006
Band Website: http://www.allfm.org
Band Members: Enchanted Gordon came into existence at the Big Chill's Enchanted Garden festival, circa 2000, in a psychotropic fusion between the Manchester-based writer, journalist and DJ, Ally Fogg and a Mr Scruff cartoon. EG is still a loyal member of the Big Chill family, is a regular compere on their Sanctuary Stage at Eastnor Castle, and plays sporadically at their bar in London.Misty Phil: doublebassplayingveggiecaferunningcoolsoundsspinningcyclerid ingguinnesswillinghomebrewconcoctingeverchilling..... mistyphil joined the cafe del M12 team in mid 2003. Can be sighted regularly playing around the live music scene in Manchester, either with "the sun collective" or just jamming it out....The Other Two: soon come.
Influences: The Shake 'n' Vac ad. And some other stuff.
Sounds Like: one of those dreams where everything's calm and beautiful and then suddenly you're naked in front of a Women's Institute meeting and the audience all have pink wigs and Peter Mandelson's face. Or maybe that's just me.
