The world is a funny old place.  Since the last live broadcast, someone tried to knock old Trumpy off, England lost, football scraps, baby seagulls, foreign students, Jay Slater found, family killed with crossbow, new Prime Minister… and in the middle of all that, you have the one faithful and constant thing to keep you […] The post DSR214 Disco Scratch Radio 18.07.2024 appeared first on Disco Scratch.

After preparing a deeply philosophical, intelligent, well thought out and interesting views at ten, I set that on fire and ranted about how we are ripped off by the way that things are set up in our society.  If only we would all gel together to cause change.  ULEZ for example.  What a bunch of […] The post DSR203 Disco Scratch Radio 14.12.2023 appeared first on Disco Scratch.

DSR200 Disco Scratch Radio 200th show with B Line Recordings artist MC Oliver Twist in interview.  I celebrated the 200th show by not preparing anything, forgetting to start at 9PM, having technical problems & not having the mic on at one point while talking.

Hello everyone, this is just a quick update as I couldn’t get a show done last week as I was away on holiday.  This week I streamed live for Polystylism & followed with LG for D4V.  A most excellent show where I discovered a label that has made me go down an expensive rabbit hole […] The post Polystylism & Digging4Victory July 2023 appeared first on Disco Scratch.

2 hour show as usual featuring the music I listen to when not listening to Hip Hop… I will be slowly posting all the Polystylism shows on here as I will probably be closing down the polystylism website (TBC, I might keep it going I’m not sure), but the show will continue and this and […] The post Polystylism / Digging 4 Victory June 2023 (Broadcast 15.06.2023) appeared first on Disco Scratch.

For the uninitiated, myself and the musically knowledgable, artistically talented and devilishly handsome LG have been putting shows out for a good while (several years on and off)… these shows are a showcase of the music that I listen to when I’m not listening to Hip Hop and for LG, everything he discovers from the […] The post Polystylism And Digging 4 Victory appeared first on Disco Scratch.

Ahhhh… Disco Scratch Radio.  It never changes.  And there’s some comfort in that.  For the uninitiated, the formula is… hope the kit works… intro, play some stuff, chat a bit, repeat until 10, then views at 10, then 20 minutes of tunes or maybe a mix, then chatroom selection, 5 to 11 swear, last tune […] The post DSR197 Disco Scratch Radio 04.05.2023 appeared first on Disco Scratch.

“Crazy Noise” was a seminal LP in Hip Hop history for me… one that had some great tracks on it, full of promise, energy, dope beats & rhymes… also it had that playfulness but with that hardcore edge… something more serious rap lacks… something humane about it.  Well, the rapper Stezo sadly died of a […] The post Disco Scratch Radio 30.04.2020 RIP Stezo appeared first on Disco Scratch.
