Australian-Canadian DJ Matthew Belleghem brings to this podcast 35+ years of experience as a curator of engaging and eclectic electronic music. Having spent time as a nightclub DJ, music producer, synthesizer salesperson, record shop clerk and dance music journalist, his tastes range from the underground progressive house music that Melbourne is world renowned for, through to ambient, new wave, nu disco, trip hop, trance, techno, downtempo and psychedelica. While new genre names seem to crop up each year, contemporary music journos might also use terms like 'organic house' or 'melodic techno'. Talk free and mixed live in Melbourne, Music For Small Audiences is a guided exploration through the most colourful corners of his music collection, and is perfect for high fidelity headphone and living room listening.

MFSA004: Sun in the Evening
Episode 004 of Music For Small Audiences was mixed live a few weeks ago, during the first week of Daylight Savings Time here in Australia. With the arrival of Daylight Savings Time, the sun returns to the evenings, opening up a whole world of weekday evening options. Spring in Melbourne being what it is, the weather changes quickly. 'Four seasons in a day' is a well-worn cliche that actually describes the variability pretty well. One of the more unusual weather phenomena we seem to see during the spring is rain falling while it is sunny. It is not something I am used to seeing, and I find it special every time it happens. This mix starts out with the sounds of rain, and works through four seasons of its own from house to ambient and back again, over the course of two hours and two minutes. I hope it brightens and brings a refreshing change to your day wherever you are.
