I’m very happy to be taking part in Stefan Szczelkun’s Agit Disco project. My installment is now available here.
It covers UK reggae and dancehall from the 1980s, with a particular emphasis on the politics (with a small “p” and a big “p”).
There is no audio on the Agit Disco site, so I will be circulating my mix myself initially. But I haven’t quite decided how yet.
Previous Agit Disco selectors have included Neil Transpontine, Stewart Home, Howard Slater, Tom Vague and Stefan himself. All the contributions are worth your attention.
