A true innovator, Gerald has been delivering the goods for over 25 years and his music has influenced a generation of djs and producers. After speaking with Rambl about dancing, producing, passion and his search for something different, Gerald played a few of his favourite tracks for us. Enjoy!

Check the man out when he plays New Guernica on NYE, for more musings check out his blog, and for loads of great tunes, click through for his soundcloud. Interview starts at 55:30 for those who want to skip forward.

Rambl provided some wicked business in the first hour with tunes from Bullion, Thomas William, Onra, Kloke and Shake. Unfortunately his hard drive was in the process of dying and so a few old tunes had to be played in place of new ones and there were some rather tricky attempts to copy songs from the disk before it once-again ejected itself during the show which made for some hair-raising moments. Ahh, technology, when it works it’s a dream…

Aside from the usual quality jams, Rambl got the chance to talk production, Timbaland and astral travelling with LA producer Mono/Poly. Charles first piqued our interest a few years back with his work on the Jay Scarlett/Circulations New Worlds compilation. He’s put out a few EP’s and LP’s (Oil Fields on Fat City featuring heavily on TCR), over the years and earlier in 2011 dropped his Manifestations EP on Brainfeeder. Early in 2012 we’ll be lucky enough to have Mono/Poly down in Australia for his first tour down under. Check!

Speaking of, we started the week with a cut from another space jazz cat, Marcus Belgrave, who also worked with techno luminary Carl Craig. His jam Space Odyssey comes from his 1974 album, Gemini II. Check it. Also played the amazing Fantastic Mr Fox remix of Brandy’s Angel In Disguise and dedicated it to my super-hip friend, Izabel. Plus loads of the usual guff you’d expect from your cosmic co-travellers, The City Rises.

Mike rinsed it at the recent Espionage feat Mount Kimbie show and he didn’t hold back in the studio. No stranger to performing Mike is part of Melbourne’s Jazz Crimes crew and plays plenty of shows in and around Melbourne. You should check him out at Roxanne Parlour’s 4th birthday on Friday the 18th, you won’t be disappointed. Mike kicks off around the 1 hour mark, he sure show’s that MPD who’s boss…

Also dropped some awesome new cuts from Shigeto (check his amazing live drumming), FS Green & Full Crate (mixes), LA beatmaker Juj (part of LA’s Weddit Collective alongside Shlohmo and others), the stunning new single from James Blake collaborator Airhead, the first new Farben in seven years and the new single from Alfabet, a collaboration between Amsterdam’s Tom Trago and Steven De Peven (of Rednose Distrikt fame).
