Really enjoyed this David Rodigan special on Gilles Peterson available on BBC Iplayer. I first saw Rodigan dj last year at Secret Garden Party and it was an amazing vibe from this guy who frankly looked a bit like a geography teacher, but who was totally representing with the dubplates and had lots of reggae heads on stage showing support. It was the perfect sunny sunday at a festival.
In the show he tells the story of his roots in reggae and its so nice to hear someone still so passionate and unfazed by the music and the industry after decades in it, especially in reggae which can sometimes seem a retrospective genre these days. Highlights include an encounter with Bob Marley and reggae clashes in New York. Listen here!
