BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts.

If you love strong language and adult content, good news.

I aim to cram as much of that into this episode as possible.

Hello, James A. Caster here, and welcome to a bonus episode of James A. Caster's Perfect Sounds.

If you're a regular listener to the podcast and the standard episodes, you'll know that each week I try and convince a different guest that 2016 is the greatest year for music of all time by sending them an album in advance,

and they come on the podcast and we discuss

that album. Now, the latest episode, I talked to Dame Baptiste about Koji Radical's album, 23 Winters.

And this bonus episode is a chance for us to dive in a little deeper and get to know that

album and get to know about that album even more. This week's episode was recorded in March at the Six Music Festival.

I was lucky enough sit down with Koji Radical himself and talk about the album,

everything that went into it, the stories behind it, discussed the music in depth.

It was such a pleasure to talk to.

I've never met him before.

I was a little nervous, always nervous

for meeting my heroes. You know what I'm like. But he was a wonderful guest and he put me at ease

straight away. The audience on the other hand were a little bit noisy, but then they piped down

when they heard, old, you know who, had a breakdown once. Me, by the way, not Koji. I probably

shouldn't be so casual about that.

You know who I'm talking about. Start saying you know who and throwing it around.

Anyway, it's a really detailed and dense record, which is why I'm always a bit perplexed

why it was released as an EP. It's quite a long album.

There's a lot going on in it.
