about

Tape 6 is here. It is called “Caverns Of Dub” and the physical copies will start to get posted out from Monday. One per person.

"I possibly listen to Jamaican music in all its myriad forms more than any other music. I am nowhere near being an expert but a big chunk of all the music I buy originates from Jamaica or has Jamaican DNA at its core. It never ceases to amaze me that a country with half the population of Scotland has produced such a vast amount of amazing music across so many decades. That music has filtered down and influenced immeasurable styles of music across the planet and it is hard to imagine what the world of music I love would be like without the influence of Jamaican music, and Dub in particular. Its tentacles are everywhere.

This tape is a 90 minute mix of some of my very favourite, most joyous dubs, mostly from Jamaica and mostly 70s/80s but with one or two from other places and times. It is a Dub mix but also features lots of vocals and in many places I cut between vocal and Dub versions.” JD Twitch

Artwork by Andrew Beltran. Riso printed j-card & obi-style banderole. Includes download coupon redeemable on Bandcamp.

Next month’s tape is “Crate Of Jamaica” which is a sequel of sorts to this one and is a selection of some of my very favourite Jamaican 7”s that permanently live in a small wooden crate by my turntable. Full details next mon

Fond memories of childhood visits to London and hearing Pirate Radio being played at relatives to newsagents to fast food outlets to taxis yet those Advert Jingles got me. Short moments of genius which this album provides. Another slice of fantastic Scouse Liverpool influence within London with the track: "Tasty Leather Jackets" Your Mother
