STARK REALITY PLAYLISTS Episode 76 NANCY YAHIRO'S All 45's Northern Soul, Funk, RnB & Hip-Hop Mix

For this installment of STARK REALITY, Episode 75, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange rolls the tattered red carpet to Northern Spain to have a chat with selector and 45 digger NANCY YAHIRO. She is a native of Southern California and first started DJing punk and soul at her college’s radio station (KUCI) in 1985. Nancy became increasingly obsessed with soul 45s and started selling duplicates and becoming a record dealer. In 1997 Nancy started the Golden State Soul Society with Cid Hernandez and continued running it with Gabby Beeby until she moved to Italy. In Italy, Nancy started the Rimini Rare Soul Weekender and lived there for 11 years, DJed all over the country. She has also played records in the US, Argentina, UK, Germany, Spain, Sweden, etc etc.

Jim first met Nancy as a wee lad in the late 80s in the Southern California Mod/Ska scene, and the last time he saw her in person was in the early 90s digging for records in San Francisco. In recent years he reconnected with her online, and she has been very vocal about the genocide in Gaza, which he gives her a lot of credit for. They talk about the deafening silence from fellow music collectors and DJs on this genocide, media propaganda and whitewashing, the apathy of the world, the heroism of Yemen, the narcissism and ignorance of liberals, etc etc. With the genocide only getting worse after 19 months they are mostly talking about this instead of music. but don't fret, Nancy gives us a slamming playlist of Northern Soul, RnB, Funk, a little Hip Hop too. She has very deep crates as to be expected after digging and DJing for so many years.  Recorded April 25, 2025.

STARK REALITY Episode 75 Guest NANCY YAHIRO

Episode 7 of INSPIRATION/INFORMATION finds Host Imran Mirza of BlueInGreen Radio in conversation with London-based, Italian-born and Denmark-raised singer-songwriter and bandleader IRENE SERRA.  Irene Serra's overall enthusiasm for music continually finds innovative new ways in which to manifest itself.  Through her work alongside the vintage jazz ensemble "La Bouche Manouche," to the even longer-standing collective of Serra's noir-jazz meets Massive Attack quartet "ISQ," Serra has created a multitude of musical avenues that help to celebrate the varying facets of her own musical fandom as well as to showcase her unadulterated talents as a singer and performer.  Her current project alongside guitarist Luca Boscagin, sees the duo tackle ten tracks from The Great British Songbook for a selection that is lovingly handled and delivered, with the sincerity that we would have come to expect from the two boundlessly talented artists.  In typical Inspiration/Information fashion, we explore our guest's musical fandom via the traditional 3-question format and for this episode we ask Irene to (1) discuss her first musical heros (or SHE-roes, if you will, in the case of Madonna), (2) cite a song she wishes she could have written, and (3) recollect the first album she remembers buying.
