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
