Disco Scratch Radio 31.01.2019 with Safire
About 5 years ago I did a show with my son. He was about 13 roughly. I got him to play 3 tunes and I gave my opinions, then I played him 3 and he gave me mine (we played them alternately). I had a lot of great feedback about that show, as it’s about the passing of the mantle between generations. Now let me introduce you to my daughter…
She’s currently 13 and over the past year has got into trap/drill, but also in a wider sense, rap. And from that, Eminem, some of the other rappers that are more widely available (Drake, Kanye etc). But, she has also developed an ear for stuff that I like. There have been certain tracks that I have played that she has gotten into and one of those is played in the show tonight.
So we had a laugh for the first 40 minutes (this was recorded Sunday), then I was live to the world last night. Chatroom was in effect, views at 10 (and I went DEEP this week!), played some brand new cuts from the UK & US (special shout to B Line Recordings SPECIFIK with his new LP)
Then we had a couple of tracks, 1 including Haynesy, then went into the chatroom selection… Loving the fact I have now got the stream back to being reliable and this will be on the regular now! So, spread the word, leave a comment if you like this, or not, share, repost as you see fit, salute!

Throwback Show, DSR10 Biscuits
This week I was stuck away working AGAIN with shitty Wifi. I knew I couldn’t broadcast live so I tried to upload this show 4 HOURS before 9pm and after 3 hours it was still only 50% done so I ended up abandoning it. I feel like a got damn stuck record with telling people I couldn’t do a show, however I’m job hunting at the moment and I won’t be working away from home then.
My work situation has in fact messed me up and now I can’t get to the NHS jam next week where I was meant to be DJing for Whirlwind D & Original One. This is a right shitter as it’s really the only jam I go to religiously every year, but real life shit gets in the way… what ya gonna do?
Anyway, hope you enjoy this rave from the grave show, it’ll keep ya going until I can get a live show again, which won’t happen next week as I’ll be driving down the fucking cunting bastarding M1 when I should be on air because of my work schedule, but something will be up on Friday…

No Sleep Nigel Interview Part 2
Bloody hell the knowledge this bloke has is super deep. So we split the interview into 2. Thanks to everyone who joined in live last week for the show. Unfortunately I had a bad problem that arose yesterday that threw everything out the window, so when I should have been streaming I was driving down the M1 trying to get to Margate!
So anyway, here’s the show, back to live next week…
As always you can stream/download the show below, head to the Mediafire site and grab the show (just click the image) and other shows (I am building the vault), or if you prefer stream from Mixcloud / Hearthis. There is also an internet archive page here if you fancy that… til next week.

Throwback show. No Sleep Nigel in interview
A member of ABU! Asked me this past week about an interview that I did with No Sleep Nigel. He had found an obscure reference to it on a forum somewhere. After a bit of searching I realised that even though it was broadcast back in 2010 it wasn’t available for download anywhere. I was a bit tight for time last week and despite my best attempts I didn’t think a live show was possible, so I thought it was a good time to reflect on this interview.
Part 2 will be broadcast this week and back to live shows the week after. Download/stream below, or grab from the Internet archive here: https://archive.org/details/DiscoScratchRadio25NoSleepNigelPart1
Or if you want to be a completist, it’s also on mediafire along with several others, you can check that out here:

Disco Scratch Radio 15.11.2018
OK, OK, it’s 5 days after it was broadcast, I had a few things to deal with over the weekend, so here it is… What’s that weird frog? WTF is he going on about? All explained in the show…
Waxy woo brings some new tracks along, has a good rant about “internet speak” that is affecting our beloved English language. Chatroom stuff, “Record reviews”, Ageing B Boys Unite special talking about the best intros to Hip Hop tracks, the usual stuff that sounds like dog diarrhoea being sucked through a sock. Recorded in Wales, streamed from Petersfield…
