BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 27th December 2022

Plus she looks back on 2022 and reflects on finally playing the delayed 20th anniversary tour of her seminal album 'Teaches Of Peaches'.

Peaches has spent two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow.

She's collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured in cultural watermarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid's Tale, and Broad City, and seen her work studied at universities around the world.

Dubbed a "genuine heroine" by the New York Times, Peaches has released five critically acclaimed studio albums blending electronic music, hip-hop, and punk rock while tackling gender politics, sexual identity, ageism, and the patriarchy.

This Boxing Day, take a deep dive inside the musical mind of one of the most original artists alive today. Björk makes her 6 Music presenting debut with a meticulously curated selection of music to move you and make you move.

With 10 studio albums to her name so far – including this year's Fossora – Björk's creative process is informed by everything from nature and location to her vast musical influences, encompassing electronic, rap, punk, soul and classical.

In this landmark two-hour special, Björk digs into her exquisite record collection and shares the personal stories behind her far-reaching discoveries – from Sumatran folk to Brazilian Baile funk, and Icelandic choral music to Taarab sounds from Comoro.

Björk shares her most recent musical finds and long-term favourites, including the most-played track in her music library from the past 20 years. She takes us to the places that have been influential in curating her collection, including music box makers in Vermont, taxi journeys in Rio de Janeiro, and singing lessons with Danish-Icelandic soprano Engel Lund.

Björk also gives insights into how she made her own albums, and as a yuletide gift, she shares an exclusive uncut version of a track from her latest album Fossora featuring The Hamrahlid Choir of Iceland.

Spanning genres, environments and continents, this is a musical odyssey through the landscape of the solar system's most dynamic artist.

Digital - Goldie’s Artist Mix

DIGITAL - GOLDIE’S ARTIST MIX 21.12.20 (320kbs-m4a/138mb/60mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 21st December 2020

Goldie selects Digital, one of his favourite DJs, to provide a 60 minute music mix.

Digital aka Steve Carr is a game changer on the DnB scene, known exclusively for his old skool beats, dubby basslines and weighty tracks. Steve's musical tag comes from his love of tampering with electronic equipment from the early age of fourteen.

Involved in music all of his life, Digital's main influence was his Dad who ran a sound system for thirty years. From 1989 to 1991 Digital was busy "running around playing reggae" with sound systems, until the fateful period when "all this rave business" crept in.

In 1991 the scene started to grow heavily in his home town of Ipswich and Digital started hiring out his sound system to various promoters holding raves in the area. This is when he started checking out the scene for himself. In the same year Digital met fellow DJ Danny C. The two eventually joined forces in 1994 to produce 'Split Personality' under the guise of Authorized Riddim.

Steve then met Rupert Parkes (best known as Photek) who helped Steve get underway with putting together his own studio. Digital's first solo release was 'Touch Me' on Timeless Recordings in 1995, but it was the phenomenal 'Spacefunk' that really showcased his talents alongside the track 'Down Under' which were released on Metalheadz, the record label founded by Kemistry & Storm and Goldie. With his name firmly on the map a host of releases followed for the likes of Moving Shadow, Photek Productions and Creative Source.

Caution: This mix contains "backs to the wall" bangers from the likes Doc Scott, Photek, Alex Reese, Dillinja and many more!
