Friends of Pet Sounds #01 Handsome Dave Rocker

So, people who have followed these playlists with any kind of regularity may or may not know that they’re compiled by me, Charlie (Pet Sounds). It’s always been fun and I’ve not got bored or run out of ideas but I thought it was probably about time to tap the resources that are readily available to me in the form of many friends and acquaintances that have massively varied and equally valid tastes in music. Southsea has long had a deep well of DJs and musicians and lots have joined us at Pet Sounds events through the years, bringing everything from reggae, to disco through hip-hop, funk and soul with so much in between, we’ve always welcomed experts in field to come and extend the ‘anything goes’ attitude that we’ve tried to promote since we began putting nights on years ago.

This is the first in an occasional series of special playlists we’re gonna call ‘Friends of Pet Sounds’. I’m extending the offer to anyone whose tastes I respect and admire and in turn people are coming back with ideas of their own for playlists they might do, themes that might work and friends that they reckon would be up for getting in on it too. If you’re reading this and think you could do better, or have a good idea for a theme, please get in touch and let’s make it happen, no egos, just good tunes.

Friends of Pet Sounds #01 – Handsome Dave Rocker

First up to the plate is the Mayor of South Bronx. One of Southsea’s best loved sons, Dave once got me up on a table to make a speech on my birthday and all I could do was drop my trousers. This says a lot about his influence and personality. He’s the original party DJ always ready with a bigger tune to play after yours. He appears regularly at Sumo and you can catch his inimitable style every other week at the Fat Fox. For his playlist, Dave hasn’t picked a particular theme, instead going for a selection of what you get if he’s in charge. Grab the playlist HERE and check the past playlists HERE, take it away Dave…
