Jimmy Savile sat on the train to Leeds, his head in his hands.

The night before he had been playing records at the Roxy in Bradford. It had possibly been the most life changing experience in his life.

After a particularly heady does of acid while playing a rather long version of some Engelbert Humperdinck song – let us call it ‘x’ – his playlist dictated he must play ‘y’ record next. This wasn’t in any way a deviation from his normal crowd pleasing set but what happened next was.

Jimmy began to think about the disc he was spinning.

He began to imagine the beats on the record as points in space each orbiting an object with a huge gravitational force such as the sun.

Jimmy began to theorise that if there were two objects in space with the exact same parameters in a different dimension, but orbiting the same point, they would essentially always be at the same point in space at all times. But did he possess such a record with similar enough characteristics to ‘x’ as to make it orbit at a perceived same place as ‘x’?

Luckyly Jimmy did, and the rest is history.

Jimmy’s vision had been inspired by the taxi journey to Bradford which that night placed him alongside another cab containing Noel Edmonds.

However much Jimmy pressed his driver to go faster, Noel’s driver also increased his pace so as the distance they travelled from their departing point was not important, merely their relative position in space, which was to always be at the same point, next to each other at the traffic lights on the way to Bradford. Jimmy knew Noel Edmonds was a total cock.

And that, dear readers, is how Jimmy Savile invented djing & mixing before anyone else and why Noel Edmonds is a cock - and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

20jazzfunkgreats mixtape – Savile’s Travels

We are not nearly as clever as Jimmy. We understand the concept, but our grasp of what feels right as ‘x’ and ‘y’ is often more dependent on their dissimilarities of character than any shared behaviour. We travel. That is – as they say – how we roll. Sometimes ‘x’ and ‘y’ fit and if they do so its purely determined by a butterflies wings.

Jimmy Savile dies on 29 October 2011. Jimmy Savile was the first person to mix two records together. Jimmy  Savile is perhaps more famous for his image. Jimmy Savile dressed in heavily branded tracksuites and trainers with loads of gold jewelry. Sometimes coincidence is stranger than anything you could possibly imagine.

As usual in this mixtape – there is no tracklist – but we believe in you, and your ability to leave the tracklist in the comments box.
