Jumping the Gap

Jumping the Gap

Wednesday 12:00pm - 1:30pm

Jumping The Gap with Paris is a weekly plunge into anything from psychedelic-funk to dub-reggae, soundtracks to free-jazz. Whether it's old or yet-to-be released, a demo or an exclusive gap-jumping re-edit, sounds are sourced from downtown Sydney to Athens' Monastiraki. We may leap about, teeter close to the edge or even nosedive into the blue beyond sometimes, but there'll always be a guide-rope (admittedly frayed and tenuous) providing some connection with a loose notion of "groove".

Jumping the Gap

Paris Pompor

For the last decade or so, Paris has been eeking out a living as a freelance music journo and running the groovescooter record label. The label began as a radio show on Sydney's Eastside back in '97 and since then, Paris has also presented shows on SBS and FBi. Way before that, as a teenager Canberra's 2XX turned him on to great music and a passion for community radio took hold. Later there was a punk group willing to endure his "singing", an '80s band to found on the back of a few monophonic synth lines, post-punk bands to slap bass in, and a load of other money-losing hair-brained pursuits. He still makes music - though more sporadically these days - and changes records in public.
