“It’s your record. You discovered it…You love it for the feelings it conjures…
Thirty years ago some now-forgotten musicians cut that record. Without them this brilliant song wouldn’t exist. But without you – a DJ – that record would be in a bent cardboard box in a basement…
This is the thrill, and the compulsion, of DJing. This need to share music, and to constantly find new music to excite people with, this is the primal force of DJing.”

Episode 7 of Cookie-Dough Radio Podcast with Ste & Terser
Part 1 – Eclectic / Alternative
We get things rolling with Joe Cocker’s heavily sampled track ‘Woman to Woman’, which has featured on various 80s and 90s hip hop tracks and in Grand Theft Auto. This powerful bass driven funk / blues track sets the scene as we groove through the next two tracks ‘Love (Your Pain Goes Deep – Apple Scruffs Edit)’ by Frankie Beverly and a cover of the Bill Withers classic by Madelaine ‘Who is She and What is She to You’. We finish the section in style with the sublime jazz infused track ‘Day Like This’ by legendary Detroit producer Theo Parrish and the Master Drummer of Afrobeat Tony Allen.
This Afrobeat inspired track leaves a rhythmic percussive echo that can be felt in section 2, as we mix and serve up beats and rhythms in 16 bar measures. With flavours from Heswall, the Wirral to Long Island, New York, we will have you foot tapping, head nodding and reminiscing all at the same time as we spin classic hip-hop from De La Soul and Jazzy Jeff along with Henry Greenwood’s re-work of ‘Buffalo Stance’ by Neneh Cherry.
Section 3 is a jamboree of sounds, as we pick up the pace with the deep and raw funk of Preston Love’s‘Cissy Popcorn’, moodily boogieing our way through to some shifted snares and breakbeats, as we end the eclectic half of the show with Tom & Jerry’s (4Hero to some of our younger listeners) jungle banger ‘Maximum Style’ and Calibre’s quality liquid funk rework of ‘Refusal’ by Zero T.
We take you back to 1987 in Section 3 with the legendary Trax Records Chicago house anthem ‘Baby Wants to Ride’ by the ‘Godfather of House’ Frankie Knuckles. Following that we slip in some filth from the brand new eagerly awaited self-named Moodymann album ‘Kenny Dixon Jnr’. As always we finish the show on a ‘Cookie-Dough Classic’ and this time we go back to Chicago, 1986 with the house music classic ‘Love Can’t Turn Around’ by Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk feat. Daryl Pandy.
