IN THE MIX #3 RICHARD 23 (FRONT 242)

THIS WEEK ON IN THE MIX

OUR 3RD INSTALLMENT OF IN THE MIX COMES ALL THE WAY FROM BRUSSELS, BELGIUM; THE PIONEERS OF INDUSTRIAL/TECHNO KNOWN AS FRONT 242. DUE TO THE GREAT PANDEMIC OF 2020, EVERYONE'S PLANNED WORLD TOUR HAS COME TO A HALT. PRESENTED HERE IS A UNIQUE TIME-TRAVELLER MIX RUNNING OVER 2 HOURS LONG. THESE TRACKS WERE PREPARED BY RICHARD 23 FOR THE BAND'S AUDIENCE PRIOR TO SHOWTIME INCLUDING CLASSIC ELECTRONIC MUSIC (PRE-DATING FRONT 242), TRACKS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED THE BAND & "CALM BEFORE THE STORM" SELECTIONS WHICH WOULD LEAD INTO 242'S HIGH ENERGY STAGE ATTACK. PRIOR TO LISTENING, RICHARD EXPLAINS THE IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENT RECORD STORES, EARLY PURCHASES THAT HAD AN AFFECT ON HIM AND HOW THESE SHOPS WERE INTEGRAL TO THE BAND ITSELF. AN INSIGHTFUL AND DEEPLY PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO OUR CULTURE WHICH WE ARE HIGHLY THANKFUL FOR.
