This Week's #FreeLabRadio - Guest DJ Nuff Ced

This Saturday night, an exclusive mix by Cedric 'Nuff Ced' of Dubai DJ crew 'Deep Crates Cartel' - crate-diggers from all around the world who dedicate themselves to an alternative music scene in Dubai. 11- midnight GMT across London on 104.4FM or via the RadioPlayer.

MEANWHILE DON'T FORGET it's the RESONANCEFM AUCTION still... artworks, experiences and collectables all up for grabs at ridiculously low prices, and for a great cause - arts-music station Resonance104.4FM broadcasts on air due to a huge amount of fundraising, and all programme makers are volunteers.

Cedric  "Nuff Ced" a Parisian record collector and selector with Dubai DJ crew Deep Crates Cartel. Deep Crates gather crate-diggers from the world over as far afield as Lebanon, Spain, UK, Poland, Egypt and so on, who share the same mindset and quest for rare groove. DCC dedicated themselves to provide what they felt was missing in Dubai, an alternative to the mainstream & commercial music scene. 

"We clearly have a common vibe, yet with each his own specialities, one is a wicked reggae selector, another a highly-skilled turntablist... I'm into soul jazz funk, with a soft spot for Brazilian music and have been accumulating records and musical knowledge for more than 20 years now. A true consuming passion that I'm always glad to share.

So, at your request, I put together a little musical journey crossing borders and pushing boundaries.

You'll hear some Turkish, Indian, Ethiopian, Lebanese, Indonesian, Swedish stuff and a few 60s-70s american soul and jazz avant-garde."

Cornershop - Tonight's Free Lab Radio

Soon to perform in London Ben Ayres of Cornershop gave us an interview plus a medley of their tracks, recent and classic, he's put together for Free Lab Radio.
British indie rock band Cornershop have been going since 1991, formed by Wolverhampton-born Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and guitar) and Ben Ayres on guitar, keyboards, and tamboura and former members Tjinder's brother Avtar Singh (bass guitar, vocals) and David Chambers (drums).  The band famously burned a picture of Morrissey outside EMI's office, photographed by Melody Maker magazine, and were joined later by the likes of Bubbly Kaur on vocals. The band became widely popular after Norman Cook's remix of Brimful of Asher in the 90s and have released 7 albums and many singles since 1991. Ben discusses what he's been listening to, the band's label Ample Play run with Tjinder's wife and their forthcoming gig, as well as brushing aside common misconceptions about the band. Ample play represent The Sufis, Cornershop, The Paperhead, Izzy Lindqwister, Matsuki Ayumu and more.
