wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I recorded some of my album with the Ragga Twins next door to Adam Ant's studio in Hackney. This is Kitler the studio cat, who I gather was named by Adam Ant 050
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 30/09/2026RIP Esther Rantzen (some helpful info in the alt text if you fancy a click) 140
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Some of us have been into Transformers before they were even Transformers 😉 010
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Obviously I know McShane wasn't yet Lovejoy. In fact there was a clear tectonic shift in the field of acting between Welles dying soon after recording his final role as Unicron in Transformers The Movie, and McShane debuting the following year as the iconic philandering antiques dealer 271
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Due to the amount I've times I've indignantly replied "NO!" when Alexa asks me if I'd like to sign up for Amazon Music to listen to [insert artist I just wanted to listen to one song by] any time I'd like, I'm pretty sure I'll be one of the first up against the wall when the AI uprising happens 060
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ever wondered what connects Mighty Sparrow to NYC disco sensation Andrea True? Of course you haven't, but I'll tell you anyway... Sparrow's brass section appeared on More More More thanks to the song's complicated birth in Jamaica. Read the whole messy story here thequietus.com/opinion-and-... 052
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 29/09/2026For years I assumed that Real Time was loosely based on Let's Dance by Bowie, but Greg Wilson later told me the bass riff was inspired by Cymande's Bra, so that's another one added to my Cymande musical family tree which is getting out of hand now 3100

wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It was also caught on film for MTV. Sadly, or perhaps mercifully, the camera cuts away to a wide shot, and you don’t get to see teenage me in a silly furry hat and beads, but that’s my slightly off-key “naa-nana-na-nahs” around the 10 seconds mark, just before the shot of Earl Zinger nodding 1100
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Jus Reach Recycled also included an extra EP of live tracks which were still chart eligible. I was at the gig where they recorded them in 1992, and down the front when they passed the mic around during the chorus of Jus’ Reach. So this was the first time I appeared on a release, albeit very briefly 1100
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Although the above single wasn’t the one which charted (not @whatafuckingrecord.bsky.social’s fault, the Chart website doesn’t mention it was Jus’ Reach Recycled which came out in September ‘92). Jus’ Reach originally came out in 1991 (dated promo on the left) but didn’t chart. 160
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I have a few DATs of Mick's unfinished album which he was working on before he died in 1994. Here's a snippet of How Can We Find Happiness. There were multitrack tapes but they've sadly disappeared. I've no idea who's playing on this one, but I played some percussion on a couple of other tracks 160
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 23/09/2026How have I spent John Coltrane’s 100th, you ask? Listening to Alice Coltrane’s version of A Love Supreme while crawling in traffic on the A2 between Greenwich and Kidbrooke, of course 060
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Reminds me of the time my mum got chatting to a lady in her local cafe who sax playing dad had just died. I was invited over to see if there were any records I wanted while they were clearing his house 130
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 23/09/2026John Coltrane would've turned 100 today, and I'm still annoyed he didn't get to number 1 like Kate Bush off the back of this Stranger Things moment 1181
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It's Doug Wimbish's 70th birthday. Most know him from playing bass on many iconic Sugar Hill tracks, and his later work on various On-U Sound releases, but here's something funky from 50 years ago from Sugar Hill's pre-rap All Platinum label www.youtube.com/watch?v=44bB... 2379
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 21/09/202615 years ago today since I foolishly showed up to DJ wearing a cricket sweater at a ridiculously hot Disco Shed session at Big Chill Bar. My quiff collapsed from all the sweat, and MC Honey Brown tore the house down with his fast chat over Ashley Beedle's 'Stand Up Jam Rock' instrumental 2202
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Really happy Anderson has hired him again for his reboot of Emu's Pink Windmill show 030
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 19/09/2026My brother had posters of Sam Fox and Linda Lusardi. I had this beauty on my side of the room 120
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Very sad to hear Gerrit Graham died a few days ago. I love him in DePalma’s Hi Mom! and Greetings. Here he is in an impromptu scene when they encountered artist Richard Hamilton hanging out on a park bench in Greenwich Village 1142
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If it wasn’t for these subtitles, I would not be able to tell you why I bothered watching Annie Mack and Nick Grimshaw discussing the Ed Sheeran/Macklemore fiasco, but “Ed Sheeran Singh” has quite frankly made my day 1110
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Honestly, Sway’s verse on Harvey Nicks still brings me so much joy. Rest easy, little Derek 1110
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Sway supported Hard-Fi for a couple of nights during the 5 night stint at Brixton Academy in 06. He was a lovely guy, and played a blinding set rhyming over everything from Dead Prez to Blur. He got a nod in my Dubstack piece about those gigs a few months ago rentparty.substack.com/p/chapter-45... 1120
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Seeing as I've been sharing some old tracks I produced at the turn of the century today, here's some fuzzy old pictures of my messy old studio nearly 25 ago. Check the alt text for more details 3130
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I’ve had 9/11 and all the personal stuff which went down that week on my mind for the past week, and just realised I missed my good buddy @gregbelson.bsky.social’s birthday, so here’s a clip of something unreleased which we made back in the 00s. Happy belated birthday, Johnny Wishbone 270
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 17/09/2026What did it sound like? Have a listen. I was on the periphery of the breakbeat scene, though I preferred electro-funk and UK garage, I had a thing for antiquated synths and drum machines, and I think that shows. Also the high hat shuffle is a nod to new jack swing. 390
wrongtom @wrongtom.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Released OTD 25 years ago. 'Every Friday Night' by my group Ground Force. I got a call from a stockist later that day saying they'd had a complaint. A customer had seen the names of the remix artists and thought it was in poor taste less than a week after 9/11. The distributor shelved it soon after 4230
