Sam van Geffen @samvangeffen.bsky.social · 13/08/2026A recent bit of audio I did with AFRODEUTSCHE on 6 Music, breaking down every sample that made 'Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)' by Digable Planets. It was recorded dry as a link, so making it feel live took some crafting. Pulling stuff like this together is exactly the kind of production I love. 030

Sam van Geffen @samvangeffen.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Radio is best when it feels authentically human. Fundamentally, I believe that a producers job is to build an environment where presenters feel safe enough to show up authentically. Creative brands thrive on unfiltered personality. Let talent be themselves - the listeners will hear the difference. 040

Reposted by Sam van GeffenAnon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I don't like Starmer. I want him to step down. But I don't think he should. His possible replacements are much worse and we've had utter chaos for a decade and a half. Perhaps we should let our leaders serve their term and think a bit more critically who we vote for next time. 241429
