Kaleidoscope is a continually changing pattern of shapes, colour, and scene. A series of alternating phases, decades or events but most importantly, Kaleidoscope is bringing you a fusion of all the latest music with all those forgotten classics gathering dust.
Open your ears by looking through the lens of this kaleidoscope, which twists to the sounds of Asobi Seksu, School of Seven Bells then turns waaay back to beats of The Yardbirds, Wreckless Eric and many many more.

kaleidoscope // 05.12.11 // Friend Crush
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes allows dreampop sensation Friends to illuminate her feelings in this episode. 'Friend Crush' signals the beginning of a pick-me-up from snowy Glasgow, that really comes to the fore in the half hour 'Tough Lately mix'. Here comforting thoughts are layered with washed out synthesised beats from Class Actress to Cadillac.
The tracks throughout channel whistful longing and blissful nostalgia from Crystallin's 'Motorcycle Girl', Sufjan Steven's 'Chicago' and the forever resonating 'Killing Moon' by Echo and the Bunnymen.

As we move closer to winter the girl with kaleidoscope eyes hosts this show with a cold. Fittingly the half hour 'Moon Mix' is inspired by the need to recover and recuperate, perfect for curling up and chilling out. The playlist plays host to some great new finds in Onra, Teebs, Rewind Back and Jessica Jalbert with a mixture of passing thoughts from The Rolling Stones, Tears for Fears and Buddy Holly. On a more sombre note, tributes are addressed to both Amy Whitehouse and Gil Scott Heron through 'Our Day Will Come' and 'Lady Day & John Coltrane'.

kaleidoscope // 17.10.11 // From the Morning Heat
'From the Morning Heat' beckons Autumn with the sound of seasons changing. Holding true to the dreamy shimmery beats of previous shows this episode of Kaleidoscope has a more cosy feel with the carrot soup mix warming things up in the comfortable sounds of the past. Mellow and softer new musical discoveries merge with upbeat favourites. This show looks forward to all the good things still to come.
love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

kaleidoscope // 03.10.11 // Time Will Show The Wiser
If patterns could be emotions and thoughts then this episode sees a kaleidoscopic fusion of longing, reminiscing and reflection to an upbeat soundtrack of new discoveries and forgotten favourites. An overriding element of escapism into memory, the past, and the idea of holding onto someone and something creates a cryptic message which only you can decide for. The dots ('Bedroom eyes' 'Dry The Rain' 'Remember Me' 'Take it as it Comes' etc.) are laid out and ready to be joined together. Make your own picture. Only time will show the wiser, love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx

kaleidoscope // 31.10.11 // Nap on the Bow
Recorded on Halloween, Nap on the Bow, looks to the pagan festival in search of spooky, bouncy and synthy delights. Im not talking your traditional pumpkin bumpkin nonsense or cheap thrill scares, its the kind of playlist that lends to the unknown, mysterious, possessive and obsessive. From Joy Division to White Noise there is an eerie atmosphere. A special 'Trick of Treat' mix is "brewed up" which appeals to the disturbed and takes from the disturbing. Ghosts and ghouls will not be found on this episode. Love the girl with Kaleidoscope eyes xx
