Adventures In Sound And Music 16 February 2012
February 2012
This edition revisits the music of the crucial and newly reactivated UK reggae and dancehall empire Fashion. Aligned with the Dub Vendor shop in South London, Fashion sprung up in the early 80s with cuts from a host of home-grown and relatively unknown reggae vocalists, and as the decade rolled on, became an essential part of the 'fast chat' school of reggae DJing, an essential building block of 1990s Jungle. Hosted by Derek Walmsley
