The People’s Party with Afrodeutsche had another jam-packed month of guests in April. Produced by us at Reform Radio, April saw conversations and mixes from Overmono, Elkka, Not Bad For A Girl, Elena Colombi and more.
The beginning of the month saw the team travelling down to Cardiff for the BBC 6 Music Festival. Co-hosting with Tom Ravenscroft, Afrodeutsche interviewed Electronic duo Overmono, as well as Welsh native DJ Elkka.
We had some massive unmixable attempts in April too. In this feature artists are tasked with mixing two seemingly unmixable tracks together, and you decide whether it works. In April the challenge was attempted by Italian artist Elena Colombi, electronic legend Luke Slater, and jazz-electronic artist Rebecca Vasmant who helped us to celebrate this year’s Record Store Day. We were also very excited to welcome Metronomy drummer and solo artist Anna Prior. How do you think Anna did?
Last month, The People’s Party also had some great guest mixes, including Bristol experimental producer Ploy, and local collective ‘Not Bad For A Girl’.
Means&3rd aka Ben Marsden played out the show with a ‘Phone’s Down Finale’ mix as part of Record Store Day celebrations. We heard about his journey securing a place behind the counter at Eastern Bloc Records, one of the UK’s finest record stores, for which he currently curates the House and techno sections.
The People’s Party airing every Friday night 7-9pm hosts the freshest musical guests every week. Listen back to the unmissable features on BBC Sounds now.
