Matt - This mix was inspired by listening to late night radio. Listening to the radio was a formative part of my childhood (and is largely responsible for my unending love of UK dance music and R&B), and I'd usually try and stay up as late as I could to listen to whatever weird music was on after the mainstream shows (or at least, what constituted "weird" for Swindon's premiere local radio station, GWR FM). There'd almost always be some kind of R&B / slow jams set, so this mix is a callback to that - woozy, after-hours vibes, with some slightly deeper cuts and personal favourites. Funnily enough (and in a nice bit of serendipity), a number of these songs are more recent discoveries on the radio - mostly the Minimal Effort and Onra shows on NTS, with a few tracks I found via Hanif Abdurraqib's excellent playlists too.
