reggae - At the end of the show a very special preview of Ajay Saggar’s forthcoming album as Bhajan Bhoy but this time talking 180 degree turn forsaking his guitar and efx based approach when he adopted an old church organ at the church of St.Mary’s in the Yorkshire Dales, its a case of wheeze, clank and groan over four vinyl sides of drone/melody improvisations, stunning stuff! And to finish the return of an old friend of the show, the doyen of feedback, the once Arcane Device, David Lee Myers with his new album of manipulated feedback.

reggae - Between 1975 and 1977 Daniel Meadows worked as photographer-in-residence to the Borough of Pendle in north-east Lancashire: the towns of Nelson, Colne, Barnoldswick and Earby. There he made a series of extensive documentary studies using photography and audio recordings, including at James Nutter Sons, Bancroft Shed in Barnoldswick, Lancashire. An exhibition is now running at the Four Corners Gallery in Bethnal Green, hopefully it will arrive “up North” soon. The image here is of the weaving shed, the weavers ran up to 24 looms on their eight hour shifts; both my mother and grandmother were weavers in Nelson and Brierfield just down the road; they had to talk to each other whilst at work using sign language. The noise was deafening, enough to make Merzbow’s ears bleed … On the Wire’s log running website, with all audio links, can be found at: www.otwradio.blogspot.com Our reggae&dub specials can be found at our YouTubeChannel @ https://www.youtube.com/@otwotw7299 and also with full playlists at http://otwradio.blogspot.com/2023/07/all-dubs-and-reggae-specials-updated_31.html On the Wire can be heard live on Slack City Radio: slackcity.org.uk at

reggae - Back to the world wide tuneage with this week’s show, exciting stuff from North Africa – recalling my experience playing Exterminator 7”s off a cassette to Tunisian youths in the late 80s, you never know how these butterfly wings work down the time …. Got a big slo-mo from Kevin Martin as KRM x Dis Fig the full epic 10 minutes. Previewing the sixth part of Richard Skelton’s American Memory series and Fenny has more from Hubro, the ruling label of Norway.

indie - 90 minutes of fresh music plucked from many genres. Including two top tunes from the new album of psychedelia by Opinion, electro dub courtesy of Electronic Love Collective, alt country from Christina Giacoletti, the exotica of Soul Bride, progressive house with Sub Semantics, frenetic garage rock from Out of The Red, the seductive grooves of White Devil Disco, and plenty more besides. From out of the vaults come the irresistible sound of Jesca Hoop, deep reggae with Dr.Pablo & Dub Syndicate, and Kristin Hersh at her most exhilarating. Meanwhile, this week’s soundtrack music selection is taken from Roy Budd’s score for the 1974 Michael Caine thriller ‘The Black Windmill’. Dig in!

reggae - Third of three reggae dub riddim version n ting shows with this one largely concentrating on more modern manifestations with the centrepiece being the slow dub techno mix. Check the new Lee Perry album, another posthumous offering – its gond to go on for years I think – but with long time collaborator Peter Harris who was responsible for most of Lee’s artwork on the On U Sound releases, also joining is percussionist from long time favourites 23Skidoo, that’s Fritz Catlin. Also shout out to Manwel T the Maltese dub hero who continues to work hard dubbing everything in hearing, this time Dave and Ansel Collins’ classic skins tune “Double Barrell”.

reggae - The is the second of three reggae/dub shows in a row, largely orthodox roots but next week its going to get abstract and more modern. Four new releases here from the great Digikiller revival label straight outta Brooklyn NYC, including a great take on the classic Studio One riddim “Drum Song” – we should do a whole show, and could do! – plus a really beautiful unreleased Viceroys’ tune on Sly & Robbie’s Taxi, very deep. Plus an album’s worth of Invaders whose “Conquering Lion” emerged a few years ago on a 7” and a great set of late 80s dancehall from Little John’s label. Watch out for heavy dubs from Clem Bushay and Tapper Zukie!
