Trinidadian writer and performer Roger Robinson has been based in London for the past 20 years. He is a founding member of King Midas Sound, whose debut album Waiting For You was released by Hyperdub.

Talking of the album Dis Side Ah Town, Jahtari explains: “One night in 2011 King Midas Sound’s Roger Robinson returned to Brixton from touring and inadvertently walked into the centre of the London riots. Through the flames and smoke he felt compelled to tell the stories of the people he saw rioting on the street that night. With [Jahtari label co-founder] disrupt’s dub soundtrack highlighting the triumphs and tribulations in the lives of the people of Brixton, the album unfolds like a documentary film, extending from the epicentre of the riots and rippling out from there. Done with lots of voltage, old school samplers, DIY synths, home made delays, dictaphones and even onboard computer mics, this gritty disc will take you straight to Brixton’s streets.”
