Stuff Mixtape #24 is a collection of random music that crossed my path in April 2024, and I think there are some great tunes here. 

Here's why each of these amazing tunes made it into my playlist. 

- **Fu Manchu | Desmond Dekker and The Aces** \- one of the finest rocksteady tunes that popped up on a UK TV programme during April.
- **Wake up Everybody | Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes** \- I dug up a copy of the Wake Up Everybody LP at a second hand shop in April, I love Teddy Pendergrass' voice.
- **The Harder they Come | Olivia Dean** \- a great modern version of an old classic.
- **Daddys House | Marie 'Queenie' Lyons** \- I'd never heard of this singer but discovered this 'belter' of a soul classic on a random soul playlist. Excellent tune.
- **Remember Me | The Trinikas** \- Released in 1969, another slab of classic soul that should not be overlooked.
- **Wrong side of Town | Joe Armon-Jones and Hak Baker** \- Only London could produce this collaboration, stunning stuff.
- **Abomination | Lynks** \- neo R&B, great production.
- **Baddy on the Floor | Jamie XX & Honey Dijon** \- to the dancefloor immediately with this one, the sound of summer for sure.
- **Turn the Page | Overmono + The Streets** \- classic flow meets significant production chops. I love the way this just builds and builds.
- **cyanotype memories | Hinako Omori & Joe Goddard** \- essential funky house with an awesome vocal
- **Phil's First Tear | Kolonel Djafaar** \- Ethiopian Jazz via Belgium, an infectious groove that keeps on giving.
- **Gedächtnis | Soap and Skin** \- experimental soundtrack music from Austria.
- **Starburster | Fontaines DC** \- Dublins finest back with a panic attack inspired grinder.
- **Are Friends Electric | Tubeway Army** \- been thinking a lot about Gary Numan and his genre defining 1980's sound.
- **I was the thief | Mike Lindsay and Anna B Savage** \- Tuung supremo combines with Stuff favourite for an eerie, unique sounding tune.
- **Being | Viktor Orri Arnason** \- Beautiful Piano poems to send us homeward.
