Lock in to Phaze One's show Every Friday 12pm-2pm up-to-the-time funky/garage/grime the big bad DEJA VU FM
Possibly the maddest Radio Session lineup I've ever been involved in. Everyone brought their game on the night - pure studio vibes with crew getting hype, tunes getting pulled, beers getting spilt, selectors going in selecting loose and rowdy! Favourite moments include Ralph LTF and RK running some next-ish from Sunday Roast and Murlo early on, a steely dan juke-jam from Rashad + Spinn and Big Narstee of NAA shouting 'AAAAAAH' for the forward when Mosca drops his dub of Spooky's Spartan (86mins).
My Swing Ting guest mix starts at around 32mins:
1. Funky twinz - energizer (samrai dub) 2. Swing ting - creepin (fat city 14/11/11) 3. Lady chann / glamma kid / sticky - informer (dub) 4. Underground distortion - everything is large (andy mowat's mix) 5. xxxy vs samrai - calango (dub) 6. zed bias - been here before 7. platt - dig (dub)
