just an early headz-up about my new 30 minute Dubstep Documentary
(NB: this is NOT the regular show.. it's a completely seperate programme)
the show goes out on BBC Radio1 inside Pete Tong's In New Music We Trust show..
Thursday February 7th at 9pm..
so we'll hit about 2 million people, many of whom are brand new to the scene..
the aim is to capture a snapshot of the spirit of the scene and explain what makes it unique both musically and culturally..
i'd have loved to include more voices, but in truth, we had we had over 20 hours of interview footage.. and only 30 mins to tell the story..!
guests include:
Mala
Loefah
Sgt Pokes
Distance
Pinch
N-Type
Skream
Benga
Arthur aka Artwork - Big Apple
Benny Ill - Horsepower Productions
Chef
Jason at Transition Mastering Studios
Boomnoise
Dubway
Blackdown aka Martin Clark
Melissa Bradshaw
the programme will be accompanied by an online photo album put together especially for the show by Georgina from D.O.T.S
www.drumzofthesouth.com
so people who are new to the scene can see the characters and get a sense of the vibe... and the heads can just enjoy her beautiful and iconic work...
and also an online Compendium.. a basic guide offered as a starting point to artists, labels, club nites, record shops, online resources etc..
the show is deep and intelligent.. and i hope the heads will enjoy it as much is the newcomers..
this kinda airtime for the scene that we love is very special...

love
