(UPDATE: THE SET CONTAINING THE SHOWS HAS BEEN REMOVED BUT THE INDIVIDUAL SHOWS STILL REMAIN :  https://soundcloud.com/search?q[fulltext]=John%20Peel%20Show%20%2BdB)

I remember when he died and how i thought ' ahhhhhhh' I also thought...'how is this slot on radio ever gonna be replaced? ' and to be fair the question still remains.

Ive had little fixations with several broadcasters since Mary anne Hobbs, Giles Peterson to name two but its never lasted long as no one has ever before or after played such a wide selection of music on one show, from jah Cure to God speed and from music offa dub plates to music from the 20's recorded on the first ever recording equipment... i cant tell you the influence this gezzer had on my life and musical tastes ...

so ima stop gushing about the one and only and say GO FIND OUT!!! of course there is many who already know, so a knowing wink will do ;) catch u at show 340 somewhere .....

boom bip remixed by boards of canada is on episode 87 and thats a gem ;)

The second graff/beat video from chop productions featuring graff artist Philth's spray work overdubbed with Helix the Spacecat's 'organic wonk sound' soundscapes. Great combination we rekon. Philth's mad decent illustration skills have turned heads constantly in the last couple of years with UTC flyer designs and various cutting edge branding work he has carried out (including hotest new record label of last year COSMIC BRIDGE RECORDS). Helix the space cat also has been out and about fearlessly dj'ing his cut and paste lo-fi soundscapes to all that have the courage to turn their backs on the bouncy mainstream dance music scene the media keep bombarding us with.... all and all a few minutes of magic .. dont miss out!!

Leica & Magnum: Constantine Manos - Personal Documentary from Leica Camera on Vimeo.

Constantine Manos was born in 1934 in South Carolina to Greek immigrant parents. He went on to attend the University of South Carolina, from which he graduated in 1955. Joining Magnum Photos in 1963, he then became a full Member in 1965. This video, produced in partnership with Magnum, is a personal documentary of Manos’ wide-ranging subjects – from desegregation in the American South to life in Greece and his later work throughout America which he shot in color. One thing has remained constant throughout his career, it’s been Costa and his Leica rangefinder.
