Welcome to the wild side of the mod beginnings, the wild, wooly, often whacky, world of freakbeat. What is freakbeat? Good question and depending on who you ask people will tell you the sound of freakbeat includes everything from The Dave Clark Five to The Pretty Things, Herman's Hermits to The Beatles to The Action to even The Supremes. Anyhow here's my answer to that question. Let's take a walk on the wild side.

It's all happening here with my special guest mod DJ, Derek Delboy Shepherd. Derek has his finger on the pulse of new mod music, and has had for quite a while. In the 80s he published one of the longest running mod fanzines ever, In The Crowd. And in the 90s followed that up by publishing another top fanzine, Tailor Made. These days he curates all the new mod friendly music you can find on his Spotify playlist, and he manages the New Mod Music group on Facebook. Here we jibber jabber about our experiences publishing fanzines back in the day, what mod music has inspired us over the years, and what we're listening to in the here and now.  So much to talk about we didn't even get to how he met Paul Weller!

And now for something just a little bit different .... What happens when two old mods finally sit down and compare style notes? They discover their paths directly crossed nearly 40 years earlier for one thing. And they explore new sounds, old bands, and the everlasting strength of the mod lifestyle. I am joined by one of the best northern soul, mod DJs on the scene today, Mod Marty. He's the host of his own long running podcast On Target, and part of The Internationalists Club podcast along with T-Spurs and Lord Ward. Both highly recommended. As always find a complete track list, a bonus third set of songs, and all the important links to all the important stuff over on the modcast homepage at Mistersuave.com.And keep up with me between modcasts:Subscribe - iTunesX (formerly Twitter) - @mistersuaveBluesky - @mistersuaveFacebook - facebook.com/modmodworldInstagram - instagram.com/mrrobsuaveTune in - iHeart RadioAnd listen on Mod Radio UK

Twenty years ago I got an iPod. The rest as they say is history. Having published a mod fanzine in So Cal in the 80s, and then a website in the 90s devoted to mod style and cocktail culture, I was predisposed to be intrigued by this new fangled publishing medium called a podcast. I dove in head first on May 26, 2006 with the very first episode of It's A Mod Mod World, which quickly got rebranded to Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World. Now here we are 20 years and 600 shows later. I'm joined by some old mates from the Positive Steps scooter club to talk scooters, concerts and music both old and new.

Is there a new mod renaissance upon us? That is the question I've been asking myself since last year. Sitting in Seattle casting my jaundiced eye on the scene from afar I ask you: is London swinging again? Over the years claims of new mod revivals have been made, and almost never supported, especially in the 21st century. I dive deep into the subject, here's my research and my opinion. Agree or disagree? Let me know. Either way I think you'll enjoy the show.

Step back in time, to a time when the modcast was young and fresh. Step back to end of the summer of '06. I've opened up the vaults and dusted off a classic modcast that I think you'll enjoy. Again.Modcast #17: 3 Chords, 3 Minutes & Skinny TiesThis week's episode is features even more power pop songs, and this time around I've got some classics, as well as some more obscure tracks and some harder edged songs. If you are in a band and would like to be featured on Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World, drop me a line at [email protected].
