Featuring a guest mix from Italian electronic music producer Clap! Clap!, the moniker of Cristiano Crisci. Next month he releases his 3rd album 'Liquid Portraits'. Plus Tom 'pinches an inch' of records from the John Peel archive.

Cristiano Crisci began his career in the mid-1990s as a rapper before picking up the saxophone and performing both jazz standards and jazz/punk fusion with Trio Cane. In 2004, he returned to his electronic roots with the A Smile For Timbuctu project, a collaborative effort which released four albums and performed across Europe. By 2008, Crisci decided to strike it out on his own as Digi G鈥橝lessio. Following a string of EPs and albums under the name, Crisci hit upon a new formula when he started combining samples from the African continent with energetic drum programming. The results led to the birth of Clap! Clap! in 2013.

'Pinch an inch' is Tom sharing 30 minutes of music from the John Peel archive, which lives at his family home in Suffolk. He'll 'pinch an inch' of vinyl selected at random from the 7" and 12" inch sheds. It's going to be a fascinating voyage of discovery, and what a way to find new old favourite music.
