MD AT SUMTHIN' SUMTHIN', THE LIVING ROOM, GLASGOW, SAT 2ND FEB

Really looking forward to getting back to Scotland this Saturday to spin quality soul, R&B, funk and 80s grooves to a clued-up and appreciative crowd. I'm joining the dude JoeBoy Higgins for an instalment of his Sumthin Sumthin night at The Living Room in Glasgow. It's all good, baby ... as we used to say in the 90s!

MD INTERVIEWS JAZZIE B

Managed to track down the footage of my interview with Soul II Soul legend Jazzie B from the Swish Ball in Swindon a couple of months ago. 

GEMS FROM THE ARCHIVES: SWING SHIFT UK SPECIAL, GALAXY 101, 21/4/98

Some 90s radio nostalgia right here. This was the UK Special edition of the Swing Shift on Galaxy 101, Bristol, aired on Easter Monday, 1998. I co-presented this one with a very bubbly Shola Ama, who was the biggest name on the UK street soul scene at the time. It consists of nothing but R&B and hip-hop tracks by British artists. Part 2 rounds off with a live freestyle session between Kent's Lethal, aka Ill Jargon, and Kelz of Bristol's 3PM Crew.
