I was excited to be asked to do a mix for the 400th issue of The Wire. I know it’s fashionable in some circles to criticise it (usually for getting some minor trainspotterish detail wrong, or for not covering more of some completely marginal artist or scene). But 400 issues of a high quality independent magazine which covers all kinds of freaky music can only be described as a victory for “our” side in my book.

The text here gives the background to the mix and a track list – so go there first.

(It’s not a reggae mix, but there is quite a lot of dub and bass and weird stuff in it).

You can play the mx there, or probably below if the code works:

Here’s to another 400 issues!
