DJ Mix Special - January 2021
We were hoping January would see the first of a new LIVE series of Freshly Squeezed shows broadcast from the new Slack City Radio housed in a coffee shop on the London Road in Brighton. Instead Lockdown 0.3 intervened and 2021 is kicking off with a DJ mix. Having also cancelled our New Years Eve WHITE MINK event, we decided to roll with the kind of mix we'd more usually deliver in a club setting. Sort of. Hold onto your hats as Nick Hollywood spins a timewarp of sounds from 16 years of electro swing. Plus a few surprises!
