Last week London's Resonance FM broadcast a mix of fast chat dancehall I did with John Eden (http://www.uncarved.org/blog), on Dave Stelfox' radio show. Dave's one of the UK's leading reggae writers and a top bloke, and he's doing a series of programmes on the station showcasing different styles of reggae. I thought this mix might be interesting to people here not just because of the obvious links between dubstep and reggae, but because this particular style of UK chat has a direct link into acid house, jungle, garage and grime -- it's part of the "occult roots of dubstep" as it were. Plus it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
