Back To The Beach

Welcome to Back To The Beach, a podcast series curated for horizontal beach action. We’ll be inviting friends, old and new, to submit an hour long mix of musical gems – just for beach consumption. Anything goes, reggae, soul, funk, disco, house, techno, hip hop, ambient, folk, pop, boogie – whatever, as long as it sounds good in the sunshine. Deeply prolific Bristol-based house connoisseur Andy Compton has released over 40 albums & over 180 EPs, (either under his own name or as part of his legendary group The Rurals, COMPTON or L.A.M.P, Blue Dream), on his Peng label & many others.

South Africa has embraced Andy’s deep house sounds, & because of his popularity over there, he has toured the country 20 times in the past 5 years.
Since discovering house music in the early 90’s, Compton has released a dazzling array of music & worked with an army of artists (from Motown legends to budding underground names). Andy’s DJ skills have turned heads and twisted bodies worldwide, with his thumping brew of electronic beats swathed in coolly-crafted melodies, with Peng becoming one of the premiere labels on the planet, garnering support from house big-hitters like Louie Vega, Larry Heard, Mark Farina & Osunlade (to name a few).
All this has solidified Andy’s reputation as one of the most respected house music players on the planet.
