Every Single Tiny Little Imperfection Has A Beauty To Behold

What better way to kick off the first Saturday selection of 2026 than with 77 minutes of Fluke?

Hands down one of my favourite artists of all time, Fluke's comeback in 2024 was a triumph and I can't wait to see/hear what comes next.

In the meantime - and for the first time - I've pulled together a selection of a dozen tunes that draws on their rich back catalogue. I don't go all the way back to the first Fluke releases in 1988; the earliest song here is from a John Peel session transmitted on 26th January 1992. However, the selection does bounce around a lot, much like their beats.

Most of the picks are Fluke's remixes of their own songs but I have included a few remixes of other artists, namely Juno Reactor, Soft Ballet and Sensation (formerly Soul Family Sensation). 

I've also included a remix of Real Magnificent by Justin Credible, who had created and posted top notch unofficial remixes via YouTube for years, until Fluke gave him the nod in 2024 and made it official.

Resolutely unofficial is the closing song, a version of Insanely Beautiful by yours truly. There's no skill or artifice in this particular mash-up. I was curious to hear Jon Fugler duet with Leah Cleaver so I literally laid the original single version and Leah's Mix together. It's a busy mix, but I love it.

2026 will hopefully see more from Fluke. I dare to dream that it will be a full album, and some live shows including Bristol or Bath would be, well, insanely beautiful.

For now though, I'm going to spend the weekend with Fluke on constant rotation and turned up loud. Everyone needs some beauty to behold.
