S1 EP4: Dextrous - Rare Groove, Jungle and the Ivor Novello award
Listen now
Description
Today on 0860.fm we have Dextrous. A proper goosebumps one for me this - his Jungle tracks in the early 90s were always some of my faves. Including Kings Of The Jungle, Selector Roll and Time To Move. We talk about how Pirate Radio gave him insight and exposure to Rare Groove, a genre that he took influence from to create his Jungle tracks that would then go on to get rinsed on Pirate Radio and influence younger generations such as myself. We discuss his relationship with communities from Kool FM, to Music House, through to his work on the documusical ‘Feltham Sings’ in 2003 for which he won the prestigious Ivor Novello award. Come and discuss the episodes and much more on the ⁠⁠Astrophonica Discord⁠ Follow Fracture on ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠Twitter⁠, ⁠Bandcamp⁠, ⁠Spotify⁠, ⁠Apple Music⁠, ⁠Beatport⁠ For more information on the project, visit ⁠0860.fm
