The second part of the show features
 

Guarin Tees ,a regular guest and collaborator

 
Guarin tees-“What we’re gonna do here, is go back…way back with The Digidub style mixology mix “
Back in 1993 saw Judge Jules and Michael Skins release ‘Poor Man’s Story’, this became a dub club crossover minor hit …the roots of what would later become jungle and “drum and bass”
We start up the session with Baby Fox’s cover of the Junior Byles/ Lee Perry classic ‘Curly Locks’. Classic inna ‘ dubplate style’
Guarin tees- “I was interested in the Reggae Mix (it’s not strictly reggae though), it was more in line with the dub techno I was listening to …like the Groove Corporation’s 1992 ‘Summer Of Dub EP’, ‘Dub Call’ was what I was about. “
 
More reflections from Guarin tees
