Playlist - 1st January 2022

 

 Every year as we move in December I ask Jim if he's up for doing a mix, then I remind him a couple of times and at last he finally agrees to put one together. The reason I persist is that I love the mixes Jim does, always revolving around dub techno and techno dub, so its usually a mesmerising listen with none of the selections having been played in the previous year's editions of On the Wire. As usual Jim does not let us down with this year's set which will, as always, get ripped onto CD and installed in the car stereo - there's nothing better than dubtechno for driving ....

On the Wire would not get on air, or onto the net, were it not for the invaluable efforts of Jim, long may he reign .....
