Strictly 45s! And a tribute to Dexter Wansel

Available for 29 days

Gilles digs into his massive record collection and picks out the rarest 45s, including a Thai song offering tips on how to win over your crush, a mysterious track from Barbados, and loads of joyful Brazilian bangers. Elsewhere in the show, Gilles shares a new, special version of an interview from 2022 with the late iconic Philadelphia musician and arranger Dexter Wansel, who passed away last month. His forward-thinking approach to music, in particular with regard to the use of synthesisers in disco and funk, left an indelible mark and influenced generations of musicians.
