Martine Rose is the perfect guest to launch Sounds and Style with. The work of the seminal British menswear designer is inextricably linked with her formative years on dancefloors and living rooms listening to her older cousin’s acid house tapes, pirate radio with her big sister, and her grandparents’ records.  In this episode Martine and Lynette talk about Martine’s early childhood memories at her grandparent’s home where her grandad would play John Holt’s One Hundred Vaults of Holt after church as well as witty calypso songs by Pluto Shervington and Lord Kitchener. The pair reflect on the continued impact of Martine’s family in shaping her music and wider tastes. Hear Martine and Lynette get a bit emotional thinking about Frankie Knuckles’ Tears which, for Martine felt like a portal into the wider world; dancefloors, and togetherness beckoned. Goldie’s Timeless, Martine’s final selection, takes Martine back to her late teens working on a trading estate and taking life from Goldie’s masterpiece that lives in the cassette player of her purple beetle.  If you want to be taken to Martine’s musical world, head to www.nts.live/shows/sounds-and-style to hear a 60 minute mix inspired by Martine’s episode.  Presenter - Lynette Nylander Producer - Connor Gani Exec producer - Lizzy King Sound design - Jennifer Walton Hosted on Acast.
