\nNot sure how much I’ve mentioned it before on here, but it’s no secret I’m a big fan of the Uncle Dugs show. Formerly station manager of Rinse FM<\/a>, Dugs now runs a oldskool radio show every Friday morning on Rinse that’s been doing a lot to both bring back and create new interest in oldskool music. Combining loads of classic tracks from the 89-96 era (usually one year per episode, and all spun on vinyl) with a radio persona that’s sort of pirate radio mc meets shouty fishmonger, Dugs’ excitement for the tracks he plays spills out over the airwaves and goes a long way towards helping a broad audience understand why these tunes still matter 20+ years after the fact. Add in great on-air interviews and specials like this one, and you’ve got a radio show not to be missed (even if you have to check it on the podcast archives due to timezone differences)<\/p>\n


This Friday, Dugs will be featuring an exclusive Stevie Hyper D audio documentary \u2018Junglist Soldier\u2019. For those who don’t know (and who didn’t see the post earlier in the year)<\/a>, Stevie Hyper D is considered one of the most important jungle mcs ever, and sadly passed away back in 1998 long before his time. There’s been some tribute events and even a posthumous compilation LP<\/a>, but as far as I know, this is the first documentary on him ever. It’s airing exclusively on the Uncle Dugs show this Friday, 11am-2pm GMT, streaming at http:\/\/rinse.fm<\/a> or on 106.8FM if you’re in London.
