February 2025 Mixtape
This month we join James in East London in search of some of his favorite New York food: bagels. I know this isn’t a food blog, but a good New York-style bagel has pretty much been impossible to find in London… that is, until we tried Paulie’s Bagels. So I thought I had to share here.
When I had this generously filled bacon, egg, and cheese bagel in my hand, it was like I was back in Brooklyn. If you are looking for a little taste of NYC, I highly recommend looking this place up.
(I’m not sponsored by these guys, by the way. Just love a good New York Bagel).
Alright, back to the music. This month we have two hours of what can only be called a bit of escapism. It’s two hours of jazz, indie electronic, funk and tropical psychedelic to fill your soul. It features new music from The Ironsides, Sven Wunder, Pearl & the Oysters, Mulatu Astatke, Doctor Bionic, Goose Down, Lars Fiil, Sweatson & Klank, The Groovy Nobody, and many many more.
Get involved!
