Join us in the time machine back to 1991 for The Social Gathering (@thesociallondon) from 6pm tonight. There’s a bit of a Twin Peaks theme to today’s mix... 🪵
Join us for a drink and some tunes, including this one by The KLF, which is today’s Daily Devotional...
Also, you'll be excused for being late because you really should be watching @cheval_sombre’s live set for @RoughTrade over on their Instagram, which is also at 6pm!
Think of us on here as the afterparty 🍻

30 years ago today, the word “shoe-gazers” appeared for the very first time in print...
It crept into a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it down-page news article in the Sampled Notes column in the May 25 issue of @NME which had some info about the forthcoming ‘Holding Our Breath’ EP and live dates by @slowdiveofficial...
In it, they were described as “hotly-tipped shoe-gazers” (with a hyphen, natch)...
All aboard! Here's tonight's mix for The Social Gathering (@thesociallondon). Press play at 6 and follow this thread for a good old wallow in nostalgia. Off we go back to the heady days of 1991... mixcloud.com/soniccathedral…
@thesociallondon We open with the sound of the @worldoftwistuk and the extended remix of ‘Sons Of The Stage’, what an incredible band/song. Here they are performing the single version on Eggs N Baker:
@thesociallondon@worldoftwistuk The football commentary was from the @SunderlandAFC v Newcastle derby match on November 17, 1991. Peter Davenport put Sunderland one up, but the game ended as a 1-1 draw (we'll ignore that)...
Everybody ready for The Social Gathering (@thesociallondon) at 6pm? I know it's nice out, but it's even nicer back in 1991! Join us in the time machine...
@thesociallondon So we start with the voice of Martin Hannett talking to Tony Wilson about his production techniques. Martin died, aged just 42, on April 18, 1991…
So, it’s 1991. I have just turned 18, and the world is my oyster. Except I am stuck in the cultural desert of North Devon with just a few record shops and the music press to keep me sane...
