MOUSETRAP R&B ALLNIGHTER PLAYLIST - SEPTEMBER 2012



Fun was had at the Mousetrap R&B Allnighter on Saturday. For those who like passing judgement on lists of records from your armchair, here’s what I played. In the cold, sober light of day the second set looks top heavy on the tried and tested but as it was the last set of the night, and quarter to five in the morning, it wasn’t really the time to start pushing boundaries or being too adventurous. And besides, they’re still bloody great records to hear whacked up loud. My only concern was keeping the hard-core that remained on the dancefloor, which they did (see I’m a professional…), and credit to their younger bones than mine to still want more after we were cruelly cut short by the management. Booo...
