Mixing It - Radio 3

[Doseone]

I'm fully expecting tumbleweed to blow through this thread....

....but does anyone remember a show that used to be on Radio 3 called Mixing It?

It was a superb show that showcased experimental music, new bands, collaborations etc and was the source of much of the music that I listen to these days (including the band where I got my user name from). It was unceremoniously dumped by the BBC, but found it's way on to Resonance FM for a short period of time. Sadly, one of the presenters died in 2010.

As far as I know, there's no other show like it on the BBC anymore, but if anyone could point me in the direction of anything similar I would be grateful.

I remember it dearly. A couple of guys intellectualising over new music, earnestly discussing nuance in unlikely musical blind alleys.. It had great music and comedy moments but the presenters made it.
I guess Resonance is the most likely home for anything similar these days - had a great afternoon yesterday listening to TOST yesterday.

Late Junction is similarly eclectic, and casts its net rather wider than Mixing It ever did.

Here's the playlist from Feb 2007

Thansk srw, I used to like late junction but wasn't aware that it was on anymore. I think for a while when Mixing It was on a Friday night Late Junction used to be on straight after. I seem to remember it focused a bit more on World music. I'll start listening again.
