The Slimcast

On this week's episode, I'm pleased to bring you an interview with another of my musical favourites - DJ Format. We talk about his career, from my mild obsession with his debut album, Music for the Mature B-Boy, to the change of direction his sound took on his latest album, Devil's Workshop. We also discuss how he came to work with - and drive a bus for - Jurassic 5. Plus I've got my much sought after book update and a few new releases from the hip hop world that you should be checking out....

For my latest episode, I'm pleased to bring you an interview with one of my favourite producers, Baileys Brown. He's been a part of the Bristol hip hop scene and beyond for the best part of 15 years and as well as his many solo ventures, he has also had collaborations with numerous artists, including perhaps most notably with Datkid and his ongoing work with 0079 as the duo, DEDW8. We had a chat about those collaborations, as well as his origins as an artist, how working with Sumgii and...

In this week's episode I am pleased to welcome my first guest. Emily Catherine is a Nottingham illustrator who often works within the hip hop world, as well as other creative ventures. We have a good chat about her artistic roots, her connection to hip hop, dealing with grief and our mutual love of detective stories, among many other things. Also, keep an ear out from some freshly added drops courtesy of some of my favourite artists. If you want to check out more of Emily's work, you can...

For this week's episode, I thought I'd do something a little different and share the original audio from one of my favourite interviews. Back in 2018, I had the honour of speaking with one of hip hop's most respected MCs, the legendary Pharoahe Monch. While sitting in the bar of a Bristol hotel, he went deep on his career, giving me insights into each of his albums, as well as a future project that would eventually morph into the critically acclaimed, A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism, by...

Hello you wonderful people. A slightly more mixed bag this week, as I talk about the comedy projects that have had the biggest impact on me over the years, while also touching on the subjects of losing your mind and defunding the police. As always, thanks to Owen Stokes for helping me with the edit and if you want to contact me about anything you can find me on Twitter (@gingerslim) and Instagram (@gingerslim_). Thanks for listening.

I'm back with another episode, which is arguably my geekiest yet, as I deliver a meandering monologue about one of my favourite TV shows of all time - Twin Peaks. One of the most unique series ever made, I offer up some opinions, some BTS stuff and some facts about its creation, including its cultural impact. Thanks to Owen Stokes for polishing it all up again. You'll be pleased to hear I invested in a new mic so things are slowly improving, as promised. Just got to remember not to be so...

Welcome back, friends. This week, I'm going in on another of my passions - and perhaps the most enduring of all - the beautiful music of hip hop. I discuss my introduction to the genre, its impact on my life from an educational POV, and also some of the artists I've been obsessed with over the years. Once again a big thank you to Owen Stokes for making this sound the best it can. For context, I'm recording with quite a budget microphone in the room of a farmhouse, so the acoustics are not...

Welcome back to The Slimcast for the first proper episode, after the audio abomination that was the introduction. The sound quality will improve over future episodes as I work out a few things and hopefully upgrade my equipment. In the meantime, a big thank you to Owen Stokes for making this latest episode sound as good as possible with the audio he had to work with. This week I am talking about books and my love of reading. I give a brief history of my relationship with reading, then go...

Evening all. This is a slightly rough and ready introduction to what I hope will become a more polished series of podcasts I'm intending to record over the coming weeks/months/years/whenever I get my ass in gear. I won't say too much more here because I think I've explained it all in the episode but I will say thanks for listening.
