So this is it. The final and 50th Takeover broadcast on the mighty Reform Radio. It's been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure putting these together, racing up and down the niche Mixcloud charts, cramming in recordings between work and life, playing loads of box-fresh new music, and nattering on about the weather. The two in-person live shows were tip-top too. It's a wonderful studio, run by some equally wonderful people.

These started during lockdown 1 in spring 2020 when the station was scrambling around for content. Therefore the biggest thanks goes to One Million Sunsets for making the connection with the studio and me, otherwise none of this would have happened.

We kept the ball rolling and what started as an hour show turned into 2. I'll take that as a sign that some folks actually quite liked what they were hearing. So the next biggest thanks goes to all the amazing artists that make the music, and make us, the listener, happy

For this final show I played an A-Z selection of electronica all on the fly. We stopped off twice at S and Z and gave X a pass.

New Seeds 8th birthday celebration, focusing all 2 hours on drum and bass. My absolute favourite cuts with the usual interview and source sample snippets.

In my opinion, apart from grime, this was the last great "British" musical export. With roots firmly in jazz and reggae, it was born from the UK rave scene and as many have said, took over the world. Watching, listening and consuming that in the mid to late 90s was a blast.

One last time (maybe)....since I was in Manchester, we did a special 2-hour Takeover, broadcast live from the magical Reform Radio studios. It's my take on some of the very best electronica 2024 had to offer. It's super-hard to do it justice given just how much amazing new music was released in 12 months, but I reckon it's a pretty accurate snap-shot of the earworms, head noodles and most enquired tracks. Which hit the right nerve for you

https://www.mixcloud.com/reformradio/the-takeover-w-amc-15th-december-2024/

You know the drill. If you like what you heard, please support the artist/s and buy their music. Streaming isn't sustainable contrary to what those platforms will tell you. Cold hard cash, no matter how little, purchased on-line on in a store, it what really helps keep alive the "scene" we love so much. With that, here's your shopping list:

Saint Etienne - Half Light
TOMMY '86 - 6 a.m
Sueisfine - Dolphin Vibes
Timeshare'94 - Westward Bound
900x - Wisdom
Oblique Occasions - Crown Of Thornes
haircuts for men - Oracles From The Orenburg Oubliette
The Future Sound Of London - Slow Moving Carcass
Rephazer - Peat
Clocolan - the colours of one mind
HOLODEC - Tuff Riff
Skee Mask - Element
Fields Of Mist - Sunrise On Moss Landing Platform 5
slowerpace - Bohemian Junkheap
Akemi Sato - What Love Feels Like (First Days Together)
Nathaniel Sutton - Sail
Moxin - To The Edge
Hotel Pools - Detach
Kate Slush - Fascination (Radio Edit)
Oblique Occasions - Shot Down
Luxxury Elite - dream girl
Macroblank - ambushed again
Survey Channel - Deep Vision (Single Mix)
Sferro & TOMMY '86 - Shadow Work
One Half Of Bent - Alpha Waves
concretism - 39 Furnival Street (Faex Option Remix)
Cyberwalker - Digital Sunrise
waterfront dining - maybe (another chance)

The next day it was down to London and the final New Seeds of the year. Each December we park new electronica for a throw-down boogie celebration. All the good vibes to get your moving and shaking

https://www.mixcloud.com/blooplondon/new-seeds-w-amc-161224-20241216-200115/

Whilst many of these records are old, it's not excuse not to do the artists a favour and buy them rather than use those shitty streaming platforms that pay $0.00001 a play. At least the dollars, pounds and euros flying around discogs or your local records store keep the scene alive. So with that, here's your shopping list:

Khruangbin - Christmas Time Is Here
Natasha King - AM-FM (Rap)
Girls On Top - Being Scrubbed
Swing Out Sister - Surrender (Stuff Gun Mix)
Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (Dance Mix)
The System - You Are In My System (Extended Mix)
Thelma Houston - You Used To Hold Me (12" Version)
Babe Ruth - The Mexican
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) (12" Mix)
The Jets - Crush On You (Extended Version)
Kajagoogoo - Hang On Now (Extended Version)
Crazy P - Human After All
Ils - About That Time
Matt Karmil - So You Say (Dirty Tape Heads Mix)
Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
Modjo - What I Mean ("The Crayon" Remix By Aloud)
Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Intro
Technotronic Feat. Felly - Pump Up The Jam (Instrumental)
Chaka Khan - I Feel For You (Remix)
Paradis - Le Bal Des Oublies
DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter - Together
waterfront dining - maybe (another chance)

Big up everyone who's listened in live or replayed this year. Loads more to come in 2025 for sure
