100314 ep. 9 rocking this joint in an old school way

For this episode I was joined by Afonso Almeida (also known as Fonzy; not to be confused with The Fonz) who studies violin at Trinity College of Music here in London. We kicked it old school with a fine selection of contemporary classical music from the late 19th and 20th century. Including a movement from Bartók's banned ballet The Miraculous Mandarin and a special edit of Stravinsky's Rites of Spring, culled from 146 cuts from a dozen different recordings of the original piece. A statement in minimalism protesting against the overdose of remixes and 'edits' (dub edit, jungle edit...) flooding current electronic music. Some challenging pieces and some aural manifestations of beauty, all intoxicating.
