25 years ago today I presented the second of my five New Years’ Eve live 8-hour mixes on Fox FM. Here’s some edited highlights of the audio, providing a snapshot of the type of pop dance tunes that were around in ’91, along with a few disco and funky revivals.

THE SWING SHIFT, GALAXY 101, BEST OF 1996 PART 1, 27/12/96
Here’s the radio show I did 20 years ago today, showcasing the biggest R&B and hip-hop tunes of 1996, in my opinion, the last year of consistently good music before the rot started to set in with these genres.
As Frankie Crocker of WBLS New York used to say, Listen and Enjoy.

HEAVY BUSINESS AT POETIC JUSTICE, LONDON
What an awesome set of performances at Poetic Justice, Conscious hip-hop, poetry and beatboxing from head honcho John Blake, aka The People’s Floet, Luke Miller, DVG, Kev The Poet, Benjamin Meah Shamanic, Kane Headley Cummings, La Roche and Maverick & Malachi. It was the female MCs who particularly blew me away - amazing sets from Eva Rose, Loudspeka, and this heavy collaboration between Shay D and beatboxer Malachi. Expect to hear tracks from many of these cropping up on The Sound Of Freedom soon! Big shout to John for putting it all together. It was my first experience of this event, but it certainly won’t be the last.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 99: LONG LASTIN’, ROUND 4 - DEMONIC SONICS IN HIP-HOP
Conscious music producer Long Lastin’, (who produced the theme music for this series) returns for his fourth GV appearance, as we discuss the ongoing agenda to debase and degrade mainstream ’hip’-hop’ output.
While the manipulation of other music genres receives endless scrutiny, what’s being done to contemporary ‘hip-hop’ is rarely, if ever discussed. We get into what others won’t talk about - the blatantly obvious debasement of the sound frequencies in these recordings, and ask what unseen effects these could be having on those who consistently absorb them - particularly when combined with the degraded lyrical content, and the subliminal programming employed by their accompanying videos.
Long Lastin’ gives his views on the sonic structures of four so-called ‘hip-hop’ bangers, included in this recording. Give these a listen if you’re unfamiliar with the output of this genre and consider how they make you feel.
The intro and outro tracks on this podcast are from Long Lastin’s own album, ‘Illumi-Nation’, which offers inspiring truths through vocal samples set to to new, original beats. You can grab it here -
(Ironically for a conversation about sound production, the quality of the Skype line on this was appalling, so apologies for the less-than-perfect audio quality!)

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST: JOHAN OLDENKAMP - THE TRUE ORIGINS OF CHRISTMAS
Here’s the podcast I put out this time last year with Johan Oldenkamp, discussing the true cultural origins of the event we call Christmas.
Happy Winter Solstice to one and all.
*
A timely edition, as Dutch researcher and radio and TV host Johan Oldenkamp guests to discuss the myths, symbology and spiritual science behind the festival we know today as Christmas.
Johan reveals how the event represents a mixed bag of influences from European traditions, primarily anchored in the Winter Solstice. This was a time of worship for the 'rebirth' of the Sun, and led to the religious figures of Mithra, Horus, and most recently, Jesus, with the Sun/ Son of God having a double-meaning. The Roman Catholic church brought in Christianity to replace the Pagan traditions, keeping the dates the same to ease the transition. 'Christmas' also tied in with the popular Roman festival of Saturnalia.
Johan points out that 'Christmas' literally means the sacrifice of Christ Consciousness, and has come to be a subversion of its original sun-worshipping status, to instead bring in the dark influences of Saturn. This reversal of meanings can be seen in the figure of Father Christmas/ Santa (Satan) Claus - originally a representation of the Sun, but more recently flipped to symbolise aspects of Saturn.
We conclude by discussing the internal, alchemical process of attaining higher consciousness, and its own connections to the Christmas story, and how people can still enjoy the festivities of the season without being fooled into embracing the dark symbolism involved.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 98: EMILY MOYER - THE HIDDEN SIDE OF EDM
Emily Moyer, co-host of Off Planet TV & Radio and veteran party raver, joins us from Los Angeles. Up for discussion is the worldwide phenomenon of Electronic Dance Music, with its roots traceable all the way back to the acid house/ rave scene of the UK in the late 1980s. Emily gives her take on how this now colossal genre shows the fingerprints of Establishment manipulation - just like all others - echoing the first Summer of Love of the hippie era which came before it.
We discuss the esoteric, spiritual and dream-like qualities of large-scale festivals and dance events, and consider the effects on the participants that the symbolism and sound frequencies might be having. Unsettling links to Transhumanism are never far away.
Just as previous scenes went hand in hand with LSD, the dance scene has always had ecstasy/ MDMA as its drug of choice, and we consider where the sudden glut of pills may have come from, and how they work with the music to create altered states of mind. Has the whole scene been a massive exercise in social engineering?
Emily also discusses some of the strange and paranormal elements of LA, the epicentre of the American EDM scene. It's no accident that this was the city where this scene truly took off in the US.

MD GUESTS ON MYSTERIOUS RADIO
I was happy to make an appearance on Mysterious Radio with K-Town and Tim this month. The conversation mainly focused on the replacement of Paul McCartney, but got into a few other aspects of the mind-control weaponisation of the corporate music industry too.

MUSICAL TRUTH BOOK TOUR 20126 - IT'S A WRAP
It’s been a memorable year on the road with my Musical Truth Book Tour, having touched down at events in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Hull, Liverpool, St. Annes, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Diss, Belfast, Dublin, Riga, Gothenburg, and at the Free Your Mind Conference in Philly, Open Mind in Copenhagen and Amsterdam, the Glastonbury Symposium, the Harlequin Fayre in Norfolk, and The Bases Project in Wiltshire. As well as providing an opportunity to get important and empowering information across, there’s been great value for me in the people that I’ve met at each of these. I always leave an event knowing far more than I did when I arrived. A big thanks to everyone who came along to any of these, and to all the organisers involved.
From January I’ll be knuckling down to write my next book, ‘Musical Truth 2’! This will certainly occupy me for the whole year. I’ll be severely limiting my talks and radio show appearances during this time with a view to getting the book on the streets in early 2018, therefore. Then it starts all over again!
