Mellow Mellow FM Radio: Let The Music Play

Enjoy this new part of my imaginary station Mellow Mellow FM Radio! The funky track by Marlon Hunter is from the new compilation album Message In Our Music Vol. 2, selected by Waxist. The new album Straight Round by Four80East is out on Friday the 28th of February.

In 1979 Australian folk/jazz singer Justine almost entirely wrote, produced and arranged an album that was funded by a radio station as the beneficiary for emerging talent. The music was created specifically for radio play without any intention of being manufactured. Luckily however, a friend managed to sneak into a record plant one evening and press up a small number for the enjoyment of family, friends and those involved. Forty years later Left Ear Records decided to release the two most significant tracks from this album to make them available worldwide. Justine Bradley is still making music and occasionally releases new material, most recently with Randy Brecker in 2017.
