Nick Chicane returns from a TV appearance to announce his special 30-year anniversary show at Royal Festival Hall.
Nick Chicane opens episode 585 by apologizing for his absence due to a national TV appearance on ITV. He discusses his upcoming 30-year anniversary show at the Royal Festival Hall in London on August 22nd, featuring an orchestra and band. Chicane shares his recent DJ gig in Dublin and upcoming shows in Bristol, Newcastle, Coventry, Belfast, and Essex. He introduces the hour-long mix of eclectic, emotive electronic music, highlighting tracks from Ben Bomer, Bon Iver, Churches, Joel Corrales, Somerfeld, and Elian Furr. Chicane explains the in-joke behind the track title 'Downloaded for Ritchie Horton', relating to promo reactions in the music industry. He plays a soundtrack selection from a computer game, noting the lack of Google results for some artists. Chicane encourages listeners to call the voicemail to suggest music from films, series, or games, sharing a demo from Bob in Sheffield who recommends a track from the game Karma, The Dark World by Geng Li. He acknowledges a missed birthday shout-out to Steve from his son Dominic. The music mix includes a 2004 collaboration between James Lavelle, Tim Goldsworthy, and Ian Brown, and tracks from Churches' 2013 album. Chicane reports music news: Wireless Festival was cancelled after Kanye West's visa denial and sponsor withdrawals, and US house producer DJ Dan passed away at 57. He discusses a National Institutes of Health study suggesting house music at 120-130 BPM may slow biological ageing, humorously noting his own music fits this range. Chicane ends with tracks from Deadmau5's label and a 90s remix by Dubstar and Way Out West, promoting his social media and podcast availability.
