XMAS MIX

I don't know about anyone else, but if i have an absolute hatred for that bastard Pogues song and although i have a secret soft spot for Slade's festive staple ( IT'S CHRIIISSSSTMMASS!) there's only so many times you can listen to the same 25 standard Christmas records. So (and i realise any credibility we may of once had may now be lost) here's Jocko's Xmas mix! It ranges from 60's Soul, Gospel and reggae, 30's carols and couple of contemporary re-rubs of old classics. It features not 1 but 2 cuts from Phil Spector's 'A Christmas gift for you' THE number one festive album of all time, if you haven't heard it, I'd really recommend it..

The Bombers

Oh my this record is a prized possession after my mate Jib spent 6 years talking this record up. I had to own it. This was back in the day when the only way to hear it was to have it on vinyl. I finally found it in a record shop in Brazil of all places. It was worth the wait. Originally performed by a British 60's rock band Babe Ruth, this cover more than does it justice...... The breakdown at 6 mins is sensational......

JOCKO HOMO

Thanks s much to all of the zombies/witches/trannies/general freaks who came down to our 'Spook up 54' Halloween party, we were so impressed with your outfits, collective pat on the back!



Hot on the heels of that we have our November party, on Saturday 27th November were pleased to anounce we have Paul Kaminski from Discomendments playing for us. Discomendments have been splicing and dicing many old gems for a while, putting together many fine re-edits spanning lots of genres of music. They also have a burning passion for all things DISCO, which makes them big friends of ours. They've been recently signed to Pete Herbert's Maxi disc label where they've just dropped one of their own original tracks..

Here's a couple of Jocko's favorite edits of theirs to give you a flavour of what to expect.. Check out Juno's website for their latest chart and 12"/download..

HALLOWEEN MINI MIX

There seems to be so much Halloween inspired music, but how much of it is genuienly scary? This is a little mix i put together of music from the DARK side. I mixed it late last night and half spooked myself out whilst making it! It features haunted piano music, horrid drum and bass and creepy vocals. ''YOU WONT LIKE IT, SUGAR''..
