London Fields Radio Introduces: The Twits by London Fields Radio on Mixcloud

The Twits make it in to confuse and delight the cafe with live songs and nonsensical humour. Presented by Paul Hanford.

It’s a New Year and time for New Year Resolutions. Many of us have promised ourselves to improve at something, be healthier, become more understanding or more daring… But so often, people make promises to themselves that they simply can’t keep. Like The Resolutionists. These goals are lucky to survive February.

This month The Wilton Way Cafe presents a series of illustrations by local artist Stine Hole Mankovsky based on our ambitious New Years Resolutions. Stine has been working as an art director in the advertising world for 7 years, after graduating from Central Saint Martins. Her New Year Resolution this year is to do more projects in the fields of illustration, film, writing, piano playing, cooking, sailing and test-driving. At least she will keep one of those promises…

We had a fab pub party at The London Fields on Mare Street last Thursday. And thank you to Le Cool for giving us some love for it!

Changing States, Vol. 3 by London Fields Radio on Mixcloud

A New Years show looking into the music scene of Hackney and neighboring area Bow. Focusing on some of the new bands emerging in the area. Also taking a look into the old Grime scene that started in Bow over 10 years ago and where it has gone now, with two local Rappers performing live on the show.

Slow Sundays, Vol. 11 by London Fields Radio on Mixcloud

Volume 11 from the café brings you tracks from Tiger & Woods following their night donning the tables in Dalston at The Nest, a classic from Bobby Konders and an absolute dream of a composition from DJ 3000 (check that out!). Bit of a strange theme of loneliness running through the middle but, I have to say this was resoundingly unintentional.
Remember to follow @SlowSunday for your top ups throughout the week.

Enjoy & keep it slow

Aztec Garden, Vol. 10 by London Fields Radio on Mixcloud

Take a walk through the Aztec Garden. It’s a trip full of the newest and most exciting music from Luke Ferrar and Rachel Buswell’s favourite acts as well as new features every week with varying lifespans. Together these form a very enjoyable bundle of music which is almost enough to distract from their amateur production, nervous rambling and constant battle to stop scaring cafe dwellers.

This week AZTEC GARDEN IS 10. We celebrate a milestone in broadcasting history, with little reflection really. We also take you behind the scenes of the show, largely involving Spotify playlists, cake and on-the-spot dancing. Plus music from Jay Z, Pete Swanson and Beneath.
