Aaahhh. It's The Funky Junkies.

Harvey Mason makes cool, slightly abstract electronic tracks that aren't quite dance and aren't quite chill out. Filled with little kinks and quirks - it feels uplifting yet melancholy at the same time. If you're "looking forward" to Christmas getting on with it and "out the way" - so you can look forward to some sunshine away from here ... we think Harvey's Tea, Toast & Jams release 'Halfway to Somewhere' might just do you the trick! Keep the faith!

Harvey Mason, an electronic music producer from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, weaves light, rhythm and memories into lush electronic landscapes on his TTJ release Halfway to Somewhere. These tracks drift between when the afternoon sun fades and evening adventures call, to where late-night reflection meets su...

The Junkies love a bit of Christmas! And with that in mind … this time last year we were sent packing to visit countless candlelit Christmas concerts across the UK! Village halls, school performances, local churches, social clubs, fishermen’s pubs, scout huts, country cider barns and even the Women’s Institute Christmas Party (well … they do the best mince pies, obvs!). Full of inspiration … we returned three stone heavier apiece … and full of folky Christmas cheer! Straight to the TFJ Barn Studio we went! Under the guidance of Mr Gurry … with our guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddle, sleigh bells, shell shakers and woolly jumpers at the ready … we kept the spirit alive for two days of rehearsals and live recordings of carols. Folk met country met Celtic met historical met Americana met intimate … and here is the wonderfully earthy result of it all. A Very Rustic Christmas … acoustic, folky and festive! 🎄🎅⛄️
