So, we're not totally out of the woods on the pandemic front—perhaps soon, though?!
In any case, despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December; 2021 has since had a bit to say about that! Accordingly, with no real end in sight—and hot on the trail of the fifth!—we decided to keep the dust off this format and serve up what is now the sixth entry.
Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes.
During this current—now prolonged!—period, said opportunities haven't afforded themselves, and we've been forced to get a little creative with regard to a platform for sharing and consuming music together, flexing our creative muscles in the process.
Re-enter 'The Lockdown Sessions'. DJs In The Distance. Resuming operating for the sixth edition. We've once again mixed up the order to keep things interesting.
If you're unfamiliar, it's a DJ take on "pass the parcel"... in the best way possible. Play four tracks and pass it on. Four more, and on she goes. Without any specific plan nor objective in mind; just four of your favourites—newer, older, a guilty pleasure, a cherished favourite, or something experimental. Whatever you please—it's your stanza.
This is the result: a (hopefully) cohesive 80-odd minutes of music from four mates. Four like-minded individuals. Compiled and mixed indulgently within our respective abodes.
We hope you enjoy it as much...
