Imaginary Stations on RTM.FM

Big shout to all at RTM.FM in Thamesmead, south east London for broadcasting the Imaginary Stations show monthly from this Saturday at 6pm UK time online here.

RTM.FM is also home to our good mate Jesse Yuen who broadcasts the excellent downbeat/bass/”not a” reggae show North of the River Swan every forth Sunday of the month. Here’s the last episode which featured at 1.09.00 in a repeat of “A weeds up to me knees dub special” from a couple of years ago.

(We need) more dub on the radio!

A big thanks to Jesse Yuen for letting us know about some dub happenings from 22nd – 28th February 2021 on RTM.FM Thamesmead here. It’s a week long celebration of soundsystem culture under the name of Original Selector!

Tonight at 8pm UK/UTC will be Jesse’s North of the River Swan show with a Jungle special. Tune in via the website, go to the top left hand corner and click “Live” and you’ll be treated to all sorts of subsonic bass frequencies! Looks like it’s going to be a great week!

Also we were very chuffed to be asked to select an LP (which would be played in its entirety on air) that sums up “soundsystem” for us. For us it had to be classic Dreadlocks Dread from Big Youth.

Tune in to RTM.FM this week for some serious sound system business!

Here’s some great footage of 1970’s Jamaica alongside the excellent track “Train to Rhodesia”.

Here’s some great footage of 2017’s Lewisham alongside the great Youth himself!
