6. SUMMER ECHOES
By Troy Dean
for Sock Free Hideaway
MANY THANKS Troy, I have my feet in the sand-box as I type listening to this dreamy mix. We've both had emotional summers and thankfully yours sound tracked better. His never prolific but always rewarding posts in both the Melting Point and Aficionado never failed to reward my ears and always had a calming effect. They weren't showy and always pricey either, just sound music, so, take off your socks, relax and float downstream...
I’d been collecting records for well over 25 years when I hooked up with my very good friend Bobby Beige to work on a night in Amsterdam.
We were both fairly disenchanted with the music scene in Amsterdam at the time so decided to throw our own parties. We began with “cut the crap” which later evolved into “Melting Point” when Siba started playing with us and has remained that way since. We have our regular show on Red Light Radio each month which is a loads of fun for us and has been going now for around 3 or 4 years. There’s a lot more freedom playing on the radio as opposed to a club as it gives us a much broarder range of what we can play. As far as playing out goes, the Garden Festival in Croatia (which saw its last blast this summer after a very memorable 10 years) was beyond doubt my favourite place to play, as a perfect setting for the music I love it simply doesn’t get any better than that.
