Radio 1 finally got the acid remix
Scott and Chris had heard Billie Eilish’s Bond theme “No Time To Die” and, for reasons entirely of their own making, decided it needed to become an acid-house track.
DJ and producer Bontan accepted the challenge.
The source describes him working on the remix while travelling back from San Diego, laptop out on the plane.
That made the finished version feel even more ridiculous.
A carefully restrained Bond ballad had been turned into something designed for a club.
Scott loved it.
The phrase Eilish Acid Remix was instantly obvious.
The plane probably improved it
Bontan joked about working while flying and the strange heightened atmosphere of being in the air.
Scott imagined the remix being produced several thousand feet above the Atlantic while other passengers had no idea what was happening beside them.
The finished track was exactly what the show had requested.
Not respectful adaptation.
An acid banger.
Phil’s school sent encouragement
Sport Relief climber Phil continued the stair challenge.
Pupils from his school sent messages and encouragement as the repeated climbing became harder.
The source frames the challenge as Scott and Chris trying to support Phil through the middle of something which had moved well beyond a novelty idea.
The target was still the equivalent height of Everest.
The method remained stair after stair after stair.
Bamboleo absorbed Jordan North’s mistake
Wednesday brought another Bamboleo.
A mistake or “gaff” involving Jordan North had become exactly the kind of recent clip listeners wanted dropped into the instrumental gap.
The feature continued functioning like a constantly refreshed audio scrapbook.
Anything memorable enough during the week could be converted into Bamboleo material almost immediately.
The show remained in its old rhythm
Looking back from the end of the month, this episode still belongs to the pre-lockdown version of March.
Live guests.
Sport Relief challenges moving through public buildings.
Club remixes.
Bamboleo.
The outside world was changing quickly, but the Scott Mills Daily still sounded like itself.
That contrast would become much sharper within days.
