    C.E.N.K. #73: "What If... WWE"
    2025/12/05
    Episode #73 of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind podcast finds Tee-J, Dan and Imran returning to the always riveting world of pro-wrestling. One of the most compelling aspects of the sport is the fact that it exists within its own self contained world and its greatest moments, matches and superstars are often born by a set of serendipitous circumstances created by luck, timing and opportunity. While names like Roman Reigns, Hulk Hogan and The Rock were pegged for tremendous success at the outset of their careers, names like Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena only found their fame by circumstances that positioned them in the right place and the right time. But for every Cinderella story, there's one about opportunities that others lost so today's episode looks at the good and the bad as we sidestep the preordained 'what is meant to be will be' fates of our heroes and ponder the question... "what if?" What If... Cody Rhodes never left the WWE? What If... Hulk Hogan never became the face of the business? What If... CM Punk had stayed also? www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, our 4ever in Electric Dreams website and accompanying podcast is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

Michael Eugene Archer - better known as D'Angelo - sadly passed away 14th October 2025. Following the success of albums 'Brown Sugar' (1995), 'Voodoo' (2000) and 'Black Messiah' (2014), D'Angelo went on to achieve widespread acclaim and be heralded as ushering in the introduction of neo-soul, opening the door to artists including Erykah Badu, Bilal and Jill Scott. As a Grammy-winning artist, Billboard named him one of the greatest R&B artists, while Rolling Stone magazine ranked him as one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. In 2025, D'Angelo was inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.

    Supple & Lean | A Geekcast 13: 'Keanu, Katanas & Code of the Streets'
    2025/10/11
    Welcome to Episode #13 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast. Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, for this episode we dive into two cult classics: Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) and Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut Man of Tai Chi (2013). Ghost Dog blends hip-hop, samurai philosophy and mafia codes in a meditative hitman tale starring Forest Whitaker while Man of Tai Chi brings Keanu to the director's chair — and into the villain role — in a slick martial arts flick about fighting, morality and spiritual discipline in modern-day China. We unpack the East-meets-West aesthetics, the existential questions and discuss why both films punch way above their weight in the action genre. The show today features original music from Supple & Lean featuring Balogneous Monk with 'Run N' Cut Ya!'. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, the 4ever in Electric Dreams website and podcast network is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today. With podcast episodes of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind, 90s State of Mind and Supple & Lean, there's lots of reasons to visit us again and again, and to join us in our ongoing celebration of the things we can't leave behind.

This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the 1991 album from iconic soul singer Luther Vandross, 'Power of Love'. 'Power of Love' is the seventh studio album by Vandross, released by Epic on April 26, 1991, following the critical and commercial success of his sixth album 'Any Love' (1988). 'Power of Love' received critical acclaim from most critics, earning Vandross a number of awards and accolades including two American Music Awards and two Grammy Awards. It reached number seven on the US Billboard 200 album chart, while topping the Top R&B Albums chart for five nonconsecutive weeks. On the latter chart, it was Vandross's last number one for twelve years until Dance with My Father was released. The album was later certified double platinum by the RIAA. Imran & Rhonda delve deep into the 90s gem exploring Vandross as an iconic presence for more than two decades, the making of 'Power of Love' along with the collaborators, singles and remixes. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

    Analogue Archives: Episode 2 - Gymkata
    2025/07/29
    Stu, Imran and Dan discuss the enigma that is Gymkatta, a 1985 film combining those classic action film elements, martial arts and gymnastics. But it doesn't end there, this film also has elements of Running Man and Battle Royale long before those films existed. Is it badly acted and unintentionally hilarious, yes, but so was the entire of the 80s. Oh and the references at the start to video are actually because we decided to film this one, check that out here: https://youtu.be/-WDJJIwjCMk

Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, for this episode we descend into the shadowy realms of 'Dark City' and 'The Thirteenth Floor' — two cult gems of late-90s sci-fi that challenge our perception of reality itself.

    90s State of Mind #23: "D'Angelo: Live at the Jazz Cafe"
    2025/05/27
    Welcome to Episode #23 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the 1998 album from the neo-soul pioneer, D'Angelo's 'Live at the Jazz Cafe'. Recorded in 1995 following the release of D'Angelo's debut full-length 'Brown Sugar', 'Live at the Jazz Cafe' is a live album by neo-soul luminary released on June 30, 1998, on EMI Records. It was later released in Japan on December 7, 1999, with a bonus track. The live recordings are taken from D'Angelo's appearance at the Jazz Café in London, England, on September 14, 1995. The album was subsequently re-issued in 2014 with a recording of the complete show, including previously unreleased tracks. Imran & Rhonda delve deep into 90s classic looking at the musicians involved, discussing the various iterations of the album along with the overall mystique of D'Angelo: three studio albums over a period of thirty years is a mind-blowing statistic but again a testament to his music that fans still eagerly await a new release. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD
