HUGE NEWS: Pipe and Slipmats – the radio show – will be broadcasting live on Loose FM on Thursday November 20, from 11am-1pm (UK time). Listen live here: https://www.loose.fm Message the station during the show to give us encouragement (or ask for shout outs) on their Insta: https://www.instagram.com/loose.fm/ It’s been a minute but we’re back once again (yes, like the renegade master) with some brilliant clubland memories and big tunes from the nightlife archives. Will Tunde like any of the music this time? Will James be able to hold back from turning fond clubland memories into academic-style discussions about youth subcultures – and will Scott be able to go through an entire episode without mentioning DJ Sasha? Discover the answers to these questions – together with top tracks from Steve Hurley, Farley & Heller, T-Coy and many more – in the latest episode of Pipe and Slipmats. Note to listeners: we’d really intended to get this one released prior to our summer 2025 Ibiza trip. Sadly we didn’t, so please ignore our well-intentioned invite to come party with us on the White Isle. We’ll be back there in 2026 though, so watch this space for details.
Featuring big tunes that include Don Carlos 'Alone', Liberty City 'Some Lovin', All Boxed In 'Happen' and many more. Plus a load of club culture chat from three men who still hit the dancefloor occasionally even though they're really old enough to know better. The show also sees discussion of the brilliant band Crazy P, whose frontwoman Danielle Moore died in September 2024. The Pipe and Slipmats team has seen her perform many times over the years and, like the rest of the dance music community, will miss her energy, showmanship and talent. RIP Danielle. Big thanks also to Finn for the editing and post-production. x
