Crucial Beta Band

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre, plus his Crucial Vinyl is Hot Shots II, released by The Beta Band in 2001.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, he highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection This week it's Hot Shots II, released by the Beta Band in 2001.

Don says, "This Scottish outfit's electronic trip-hop indie sound immediately captured my imagination with the release of their debut album, which was pretty experimental. I have to say it was difficult to choose between that and this, their second album, which was more immediate but still retained the essence of the first record. Hey, why choose? Both are highly recommended.".
