The latest in our irregular series of words-and-music mixes, Spoken Word & Nature Disco Vol. 8 – as premiered on James Endeacott’s Soho Radio show this morning — is now available for streaming.

Featuring spoken and musical tracks by treasured site contributors such as Matt Sewell, Claire Todd, Melissa Harrison, Chris Watson, Chris Yates & Rob St. John, it is the sound of a journey to the bird hide, or perhaps a crisp walk in the woods.

As always, this mix has been spliced together by our very own mysterious in-house mixmaster The Dubwood Allstars — originator of the evergreen Dylan-Thomas-dubwise 7″ ‘Under Dubwood’ — and artwork is by Matt Sewell. Listen below.
