That Queen Omega tune is tough, I have the original on 7", also the groovewax album. Both available on Evidence music (check bandcamp).

This is my favourite track on the groovewax album (outsider)

Interview with him on Rodigan two shows ago

Just spent four blissful days at Wilkswood reggae festival, worth going if you get the chance. Really cheap early bird tickets going for next year currently on sale.

I have been listening to Bugle's Apex album a lot the last few days. I think it may be my favourite reggae album of the year so far, so many good tracks.

An absolutely amazing piece of work here

That is quite a release, can't see a price anywhere.

Just read all about that era in the Bass Culture book.

Fascinating read but quite hard going at times, I've almost finished it.

I would suggest you search for base culture archives on onthewire blogspot 40 years to look into on their archive.

Blimey, there is some stuff to search through there!

Going to hit the most recent one first, the dub techno show

Its in two parts btw.

You need to look at it on a pc and download the links, the videos are worth watching too if you’ve not seen them before.

40 Years of Sleng Teng this February, where does the time go..,
