"I am a confirmed Deerhoofer"

Good morning,

Welcome to your weekly Recommender fix. Before we get stuck in, a reminder that tonight we are putting on a special event with Jah Wobble at The Social in London. He’ll be reading from his new book Dark Luminosity: Memoirs Of A Geezer and our Ted Kessler will be asking him some questions about it. It’s going to be a cracker and shockingly there are still a few tickets left. Remedy that by heading here and snapping them up.

Ted also made a playlist that he collated from songs and artists and vibes mentioned in Wobble’s monumental Dark Luminosity that will sound massive over the Social’s sound system, but you can imagine that by tuning in here:

In today’s edition, we’ve got a load of recommending, which is why we call it the Recommender edition, plus Bess Atwell and Halo Maud pick us a mind-blower apiece. Triffic! Here’s this week’s playlist:

And it’s here if you’re more of an Apple Music sort.

Enjoy the edition,

Ted, Niall and Chris
