on 10 August 2007, the world lost another visionary. this week on radiohypno, we salute tony wilson: television host, music entrepreneur, founder of factory records, and the man who begat the hacienda, the club that would kick-start a new generation of dance music in the late 80’s.

this is the first, and quite possibly the last, time you’ll hear pete tong’s voice grace an episode of radiohypno, as i’ve appropriated his half of the most recent Essential Mix for this week’s show. he did a very admirable job in selecting songs from the factory records catalog, and his opening tribute, despite being read in his “Pete Tong Radio Voice” ™ seems to be heartfelt and genuine. i’ve also cut in some key snippets of speech by and about tony, for context, and so that you lot don’t think i’m completely slacking off this week.

the world will miss tony wilson, and the world needs more people LIKE tony wilson. rest in peace, sir.

About

by hypno on September 12th, 2006

i sense that some of you may be asking: “so, what’s all this then? ‘radiohypno’? i see no radio.”

radio is dead, my friends. dead as charles de gaulle. dead as justin guarini’s recording career.

the truth is that, in the age of the intartubes, YOU are your own radio. and it’s that sort of self-motivation that has prompted me to start radiohypno. i love making mixes for people. i love getting new mixes from all over god’s green earth. and the more incongruous the mix, the better! i want congolese finger-piano players next to krautrock. i want funkadelic mixed with johnny cash. i want nine inch nails pounded into the boards of canada and left on the pavement.

let’s have some fun.
