Music News - Celebrating 25 years of Stinky Jim & Dubhead
08 September 2015 - 0 Comments
95bFM and
Allsusd are preposterously proud to present a celebration of 25 years of
continuous broadcasting for 95bFM’s The Rhythm Selection and Stinky
Grooves.
Sterling Sounds at Neck Of The Woods on Saturday September 26th.
Running the midweek airwaves since 1990, Dubhead and Stinky Jim have carved out
their own DJ signatures built on a bedrock reggae foundation, with a discerning
eye in other directions when prudent and necessary. They will be bringing that
full weight of experience to bear in extended sets, featuring long time MCs
Tuffy Culture and the Mighty Asterix. Completing the lineup are three of the
stand up individuals who have taken the reins of these top-ranking radio shows
when Dub and Jim have been impossibly otherwise engaged in elsewhere
business: Oblex B, Geezer Guy and compere for the evening MC Slaves
LOGGcabin as well as organising supremo DJ Mooch.
Kicking off at 7, with sly sounds and jerk chicken on the BBQ, this promises to
be a monster night of reggaematical mightiness and musical majesty, in the old
school style.
Selectors and hosts, Dubhead and Stinky Jim have been giving listeners the
silver service since the start of the 90s, a time when an antidote to hackysack
and half baked grunge bands was more necessary than ever. On a weekly basis
they have delivered an unrelenting bounty of musical treasures, both new and
old, sourced and administered with the passion of zealots. Fiercely loyal to
95bFM, and most importantly the listeners, this pair of musically obsessed, low
end loving UK ex-pats have delighted several generations of tuned in types as
well as helping to inspire and introduce a whole range of up and comers, down
and outers, DJs, music makers and their ilk.
As producers (Dub with Sound Foundation, Jim with Unitone HiFi) compilers and
curators (the Dub Combinations and Sideways series respectively) writers,
selectors and passionate enthusiasts in a variety of other guises, they have
both left a musical footprint that is far larger than just their long
running radio shows. However it’s after 9pm on Monday and Tuesday nights,
when the energy is right and the vibes are running, that you will hear the
purest distillation of what makes these two gentlemen tick.
Bringing the beat bullion and rhythmic remedy on 95bFM for a quarter of a
century, Dubhead and Stinky Jim have assembled a formidable line up for this
crucial celebration. Joined by the Mighty Asterix, flying in especially from
Australia, and a very rare outing for Tuffy Culture, they will be spinning the
new, old, rare and some classics from their 25 year tenure, alongside solid
support from Oblex B, Geezer Guy, Mooch and MC Slaves LOGGcabin. All this for
only a piffling ten dollars on the gate - Sterling Sounds promises to be a
night to remember.
