Introducing Mixtape with Tom Robinson.

0:19

It's a balance and

0:22

I I'm

0:31

still imagining that I'm

0:35

walking on a tightrope In

0:39

pieces of a man I

0:42

just imagine that there's more to it

0:46

Than all this

0:49

heavy traffic We're

0:52

following around A

0:55

place behind the sun We're

0:59

following around A

1:01

place behind the

1:04

sun It's

1:13

a balance and I Lost

1:17

property of facts Of

1:21

all the muddy water Of

1:25

all the lust and fun It's

1:29

not surprising that it feels

1:31

so strange You call

1:33

me by your name

1:37

We're following around

1:41

A place behind the sun We're

1:45

following around A

1:49

place behind the sun We

1:52

served an honour Just

1:55

Like broken April Calling

1:57

Our Way So Continue.

2:39

Sparse, poised, understated and out with

2:42

Friday. that's balancing act. the first

2:44

taste of from India Electric Companies

2:46

third album, Pomegranates. Said album has

2:49

been for years in the making

2:51

and on the basis of that

2:53

some alone it's well worth the

2:56

wait. Hello again it's easy Monday

6:38

scatter my grandma's ashes in the church in our

6:40

old home town I woke up

6:42

too late and missed the train I

6:48

called my mum to ask if it was worth catching

6:50

the next train coming a bit

6:52

later if

6:54

the ceremony was actually starting at 12 I

6:58

knew that it was she

7:05

said it was and

7:07

the whole thing would only take about 15 minutes it

7:11

wasn't worth coming anymore instead

7:16

today I will restring my guitar it

7:21

should take about 15 minutes she

7:30

said she would make up an excuse for me

7:33

to tell my aunt and uncle and cousins why

7:35

I couldn't make it I

7:37

told her not to do that I'm

7:39

not embarrassed she said I

7:41

should be I'm

7:47

embarrassed but

7:50

I'll be more embarrassed knowing she made up

7:52

an excuse for me I should

7:55

come up with a learned excuse you

8:04

I'm sorry, Peter, Bridget, Chris and Vanessa.

8:07

I couldn't make it

11:41

12:00

their newly released five track EP

12:02

Red Moon Rare Night, forwarded

12:05

from introducing an Oxford and Berkshire

12:07

by longtime supporter Dave Gilead. Before

12:10

that, today I will re-string

12:13

my guitar, a laconic slice

12:15

of everyday life by the

12:17

London songwriter known only as

12:19

Birdhouse. It's from his

12:21

album Sleep House, released at the end

12:23

of last year and available on Bandcamp.

12:26

And that run of tracks began

12:29

with the rather marvellous Lay Me

12:31

Down by Izzy Flower, Robin Brill

12:33

and Callum Mason, coding jointly as

12:35

Race Car and taking some of

12:37

their upcoming second album Pink Car.

12:41

Next, Richard Pierce, who describes

12:43

himself as an author, broadcaster

12:45

and painter. But he's also

12:47

a pretty good poet, producer and polemicist

12:49

in my opinion. See what you

12:51

think on this track, Cost of Living. Here,

12:59

here's the reality of Cost of Living. He's

13:09

dead in the cold house in

13:11

the ambulance at the hospital in the

13:13

fire in the city. I

13:16

train, the hose tends to

13:18

expose the immigration scenes of the

13:20

small boats across the cold

13:22

street, evasive at sea. The

13:30

real health of the service, the health of

13:32

the size, broadness, and independent needs,

13:35

no education, no education, epidemics,

13:38

pandemics, failing health care. Here

13:42

is the reality of Cost of Living.

13:47

In failure to big lies, overforming,

13:49

get a switch in seas, seas

13:51

in drinking water, and in

13:54

spreading the law, these dead

13:56

cars save lives to the Jewish

13:58

community. Let's

You'll find Richard's linktree, alongside

22:05

links to everyone else in

22:07

today's mixtape, via this week's

22:10

blog post at bbc.co.uk slash

22:12

blogs slash introducing. It

22:15

was followed by the irresistible earworm

22:17

Mango, by Newport native Sonia Ahmet,

22:20

which has had introducing love from

22:22

Beth and Elvin, Adam Walson, Jess

22:24

Izat, Dave Gilead, Jaguar Bingham and

22:27

James Threlfall, who forwarded it to

22:29

us here at 6 Music. And

22:33

then, from Bill Ricky, we

22:35

just heard the beer-swilling, reggae-loving,

22:37

long-distance, charity-cycling, studio boss philosopher

22:39

and friend of the show,

22:41

Ed Rome. Ed

22:43

promises a 12-track album is in

22:45

the pipeline for later this year, and

22:47

from it we just heard his brand

22:49

new single, The Vendetta, which is released

22:51

today, Easter Monday, April 1st. And,

22:55

it being Easter weekend, here's a

22:57

snippet from Bach's St Matthew Passion,

22:59

as interpreted through the unique folk

23:02

filter of Harbottle and Jonas. I

23:30

stand here close beside

23:35

thee, freedom's wish

23:37

I would share.

23:42

O Lord, do

23:44

33:50

of us had grand aspirations as

33:54

had self-help, and now in the

33:57

anxiety-ridden hell of adulthood, we'll truly

33:59

be... been dumped into the oblivion

34:01

of space. Spaceman

34:04

was forwarded from their local introducing show

34:06

by Chris Wood, and Self Help will

34:08

be launching an album this June with

34:10

a headline show at the Bullingdon. Before

34:14

that we heard the floating

34:16

atmospheric links like fists emanating

34:18

from the Pembrokeshia Caravan Come

34:21

studio of Rona Mac. Musically

34:24

it's inspired by Ben Howard

34:26

and lyrically she says it's

34:28

an absent-minded conversation with late

34:30

friends. Before

34:33

that the Anglo-Nigerian composer and

34:35

producer Tony Njoku, somehow making

34:37

his piano sound somewhere between

34:39

a harp and a chora

34:41

on his uplifting instrumental La

34:43

Roux, the rush inspired

34:45

by a romantic trip to Paris.

34:49

And the first of those four

34:51

tracks was the Bach chorale for

34:53

Good Friday, Ich ville here by

34:55

Dier Steyn as Anglicised and Focified

34:57

by the brilliant West Country duo

35:00

of Dave Harbottle and Freya Jonas.

35:03

Next back to Oxford one last

35:06

time where the collective formerly known

35:08

as Focutron Sessions have now re-emerged

35:10

as Remorais. If

36:32

I am forsaken I'll

36:35

not be forceful That

36:37

is surely mistaken if

36:39

itings that I'll moan

38:14

can't believe it.

38:25

I can't believe it. The

38:52

Lord is talking to you, but it was

38:55

all your attitude right to

38:57

him. I don't want

39:00

to stay in your city. I want

39:03

to stay in your city, I want to stay

city. I want to stay

39:12

stay in your city. I

39:16

want to stay in your city,

39:18

I want to stay in your city. I

39:49

will be your help to

39:51

live your life and be

39:53

the rock of me. You

40:08

want to Christmas focusing.

40:15

Honestly. Hold

40:22

me doctor I do always say. What

40:28

kind of food? Because

40:30

it doesn't feel

40:33

like roll

40:37

the line. Hold

40:56

me doctor. Holy Rose. You

42:05

are dimming down the lights. I

42:08

should be leaving now again. But

42:12

then when you touch me right, it's

42:16

such a beautiful night. You

42:19

should be calling it a night. But

42:24

if we don't have

42:27

anything to make, we're

42:31

not going to leave again. More

42:39

eyes, let

42:42

go. More

42:48

eyes. I

42:53

should be somewhere, somewhere

42:56

in the face. Leave

43:03

me somewhere. Leave

43:06

me alone in my sleep.

43:14

Nothing to discuss. We

43:18

don't need to talk. We

43:22

can read between the lines and

43:26

do what we want. Tomorrow,

43:30

we'll be back in

43:33

familiar arms. I

43:38

should be somewhere in

43:40

the house of the

43:42

word of the beast.

43:50

Leave me somewhere

43:53

in the light of the beast.

44:02

Let go, alright, let

44:06

go, alright. Let

44:26

go, alright,

44:31

let go, alright.

45:06

Time Alone is a collaboration

45:09

between London songwriter Freddie Dixon,

45:11

who recently relocated to Berlin,

45:13

and local recording artist Kat

45:15

Cohen. Freddie's currently

45:17

untitled third album is due

45:20

in September. Before

45:22

that, sent by Dean Jackson from

45:24

introducing in the East Midlands, were

45:26

heard pushing the bruise by Leicester

45:29

artist CJ Pandit. It's

45:31

a New York inspired foretaste from

45:33

his album One Lost English Boy,

45:35

which gets its vinyl release a

45:37

week on Friday, April 12th. And

45:41

first in that run of tracks

45:43

was Johnny's On The Water, with

45:45

its empowering refrain, if he can

45:47

live without me, I can live without

45:50

him. It was learned

45:52

from the singing of Gene Ritchie

45:54

by the Oxford collector of Remorais,

45:56

which is apparently the plural of

45:58

suckerfish, and spelt, for

46:00

search purposes REMORAE. So

48:02

where do the

48:12

levels are upside down? So

48:51

So Hmmm

48:58

Hmmm

49:01

Hmmm Hmmm

49:06

Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm

Hmmm Hmmm

Hmmm Hmmm

49:19

Hmmm Hmmm

49:23

Hmmm Hmmm

49:27

Hmmm Hmmm

49:31

Hmmm Yeah

49:33

I used to wonder what all these hearts

49:35

were called at the barn, the hearts of

49:37

the farm, rubbing children and one with the

49:40

pine. I remember I heard a number of

49:42

those hard wheels, hard blood and a lot

49:44

of felt, so I would have seen it

49:46

and I'd rather walk in the dark office,

49:48

probably one of the best in the south

49:50

of the country. Now I'm searching for the

49:52

words from a long way come back to

49:54

my heart state. And yeah, I thought

49:56

of a day and gave a look at my thoughts and I

49:58

had a long view. I'm

50:31

not the one who can't get off me I'm not the one who

50:33

can't get off me I'm not the one who can't get

50:35

off me I'm not the one who can't get off me

50:40

Yeah, money time to fake it Seems I thought

50:42

he might want to find a way to replace

50:44

the office mood Before the

50:46

knock-in ever made play The person she needs

50:48

to never offer Is a snake in the

50:50

morning or peeing And he would say that

50:52

the lock-in Would you think it's

50:55

a fake lock-in Or is it just you who

50:57

played on my profile Oh what's the toll-off to

50:59

51:01

54:28

after dropping out of university

54:30

to pursue music. It

54:32

was sent our way by Jessi's act

54:35

from her BBC introducing in London show.

54:38

Before that, Black Country rapper Ben

54:43

with his coming of age song,

54:45

Rubbing Shoulders, with grooving production from

54:47

Benji Alfred's and gorgeous guest vocals

54:50

once again from Mello Solis.

54:53

And first in that run of

54:55

three, we heard TikTok star Eve

54:57

Christina from Leighton Buzzard. Her

55:00

big-hearted break-up ballads Tangled was

55:02

forwarded from BBC introducing in

Keon Boyle. I'm

55:09

Tom Robinson, thank you for listening.

55:12

I've been representing BBC introducing here

55:17

my next two mixtapes will feature

55:19

a selection of personal highlights from

55:21

the past 15 years. As

55:24

ever, there are links to all

55:27

the music and musicians we've heard

55:29

today via this week's blog post

55:31

at bbc.co.uk slash blogs slash introducing.

55:35

I'm going to leave you with the most

55:37

original and most disturbing song to cross my

55:39

desk this week. Sent

55:42

once again by Lindsay Gillis at

55:44

Introducing in Scotland, it's a harrowing

55:46

tale of descent and fall from

55:49

the Glasgow disco punctuario Doss. From

55:52

their forthcoming EP Bootlicker out at

55:54

the end of June, this is

55:56

Billy. That's it from me.

55:58

Have fun. Stay safe. and I'll

56:00

see you next week. I'm

56:30

in the field. You

56:32

can go to the window and I'll look like

56:34

I should have felt my power. I'll have a

56:36

look at the gap of the lane and I'll have a look

56:38

at how I feel after I get to the game.

56:41

I think I'm going to go for the game. I'll

56:43

go for the game. I'll

56:45

go for the game. I'll go

56:47

for the game. I'll go for

56:49

the game. Don't.

56:55

I'll go for the game. I'll

57:24

go for the game. I'll

57:54

go for the game. How

58:30

58:32

awesome thing you've done? What's

58:35

the most awesome thing you've done? Do

58:39

you see the decision? Do you make time

58:41

in session to live as an equal follower

58:43

of the same? I'm already here. Just

58:46

a typo. Never in

58:48

58:53

Anybody who plays with me? Please

58:57

make this day a moment of your life.

59:01
