Big shout to our good friends Dr Strangedub and DJ Baby Swiss for the rebroadcast of “In The Garden Of Dub” part 1 of a mix for all dub gardeners, on this week’s Echo Chamber on KFAI. Before the mix is a rerub of my appearance on The Dirt the other week. Cheers for airing that!
Also on the show there’s some great new music from Phil Harmony, Nate Wize, Alpha Steppa, and more… Download it here.

A couple of good things to look forward to if you’re down the big smoke over the next few weeks. The great Dennis “Blackbeard” Bovell will be playing some tunes upstairs at The Ritzy Cinema, Brixton for nothing (how good is that!) as part of David Katz’ Dub Me Always on Wednesday 9th July. More details here at their Facebook page.
Before then as part of James Lavelle’s Meltdown on Sunday 22nd June there’s a free event down the Southbank called “Sunday Come Down” featuring Don Letts (Not Monty Don), James Lavelle and other top stuff as the day goes on. Let’s hope the weather keeps up. Here’s the line up cribbed from here. I’m sure it’ll change but it gives you clue what to expect. 12 noon – 1.30pm Don Letts 1.30pm – 2.30pm James Lavelle 2.30pm – 3pm Voicelab 3pm – 3.30pm JP Duncan 3.30pm – 4.15pm Jeremy Deller Acid Brass 4.15pm – 5.45pm Horsemeat Disco 5.45pm – 6.45pm James Priestley (Secretsundaze) 6.45pm – 7.15pm James Lavelle

This Saturday coming (June 14th) there’s a special screening of the Bunny Lee Film “I am the Gorgon” at the BFI, Southbank plus after a Q and A session with the director Diggory Kenrick and the narrator of the film and the legend that is Dennis Alcapone. There’s still a couple of tickets left for £6.50 here. I’m going and if I get a chance I’ll ask Dennis if he’s into gardening!
A tune and a half from King Mas on a rhythm played to death by David “Ram Jam” Rodigan over the last few weeks released by Royal Order Music. Roots and culture with some electronic sequencer business going on and a lyrical message. One to put on while flicking through the seed box, deliberating over what you’re going to be putting in over the weekend.
