20 Jun 09 Special: David Leckenby interview
In the middle of London, just before what would be the announcement of the Tube Strike. Arrival London last Sunday June7th late afternoon, walking to the hotel via Kings Cross. Hotel fine but room not ok, enormous continuous loud noise in the pipes of the bathroom made it impossible to get some sleep! Earlier that night kindly for another room, did not get it because the hotel was ‘full’. Later that night changed our tone a bit and insisted on getting another room, and so another room was available all of sudden. Rest of the week, perfectly fine in this bigger and most of all - quiet - room without extra costs. Super!The WiFi sucked but luckily there was BTopenzone.
Up the hill we arrived in Islington. Special place for special people; our meeting with David Leckenby @ the EnlightenNext headquarters. Started off with a 45 minutes meditation session which was very enjoyable and at the same time a rare and remarkable first meeting with someone we’ve only had contact with via e-mail untill that moment in time: David Leckenby. Known for his cinematic musical productions, know for his peaceful ambient style, known for his unique LIVE act called Kosmic Fire to inject the public with mind blowing uptempo electronica. Meet this great ambient/electronic artist on today’s show. Café ‘The Bull’ in Islington: a nice chat + Peroni premium lager beer. For all details and URL services please read through the rest of the shownotes down below. Enjoy!

12 Jun 09 London Walkabout
Hia! How RU doing? June 10th 2009: LIVE from the Russell Square park it’s time for an overview of the London Walkabout we did today. Tube strike so the best option was to go walking. Man! I need a new pair of shoes….! Because of this tube strike there’s an enormous amount of traffic in the streets of London. Taking the bus was therefore not any good as walking was much faster. Now that I’m relaxing @ Russell Square I really appreciate the green areas in a big city like London…. There are a lot of green parks, some of them really big like Hide Park and the Kensington Gardens, some of them smaller like Russell Square and Gray’s Inn Garden. They all have one thing in common: get away from the daily stress for a few minutes, having your lunch, feeding your baby, lying down and take a nap, anything you’d like basically. After that you just carry on with what you were doing before feeling a bit refreshed now. Ah…. and one tip if you’re allergic to heavy traffic sounds: please do wear around-the-ear fit headphones with some great tunes!!! Once you wear these you’ll be amazed how many people are wearing them too, it’s cool as! ~TC
