Rhoda Wilson joins Sherry Dixon this Sunday 12-3pm

Don’t miss The Sherry Dixon Show this Sunday 12-3pm when Sherry will be joined by Rhoda Wilson.
Sherry will also be discussing the topic: How many lovers is ‘too many’…?

Society’s attitudes towards casual relationships have changed in the past few years.
Programmes such as ‘Sex and the City’ have enjoyed phenomenal success, showing that woman should no longer have to feel embarrassed or even ashamed to ask for what they really want. But how many lovers is ‘too many’? Fans of the show will be familiar with the character Samantha Jones, a forty-something blonde bombshell in PR who works hard and ‘plays’ even harder! Known for her numerous sexual encounters, she was once unable to recall all the partners she had been with when quizzed.
Although it can be said that supposed promiscuity is now considered ‘the norm’, there will always be a double standard as far as men and women are concerned. The number of lovers that makes a man a ’stud’ can have a woman labelled as something else entirely. A woman’s actions in these circumstances will often be questioned. Has she low self esteem? Is she hoping that it will bring love? Perhaps even more shockingly, she just wants to have a good time. Are we ready to fully accept this? Tune in and have your say!

S.P.Y on The Drum & Bass Show!

One artist who seems to flow effortlessly between Drum & Bass subgenres and win over the ears and hearts of D&B ravers all over the world with his tunes is Brazilian producer and DJ, S.P.Y.

A favourite producer for both Micky and Lady V, they have been championing S.P.Y’s beats for the last year as everything that comes out of the S.P.Y HQ is pure gold. Whether he creates a hypnotic but thumping dirty tune like ‘Favela’ which is currently in every DJ’s record box, or delivering tunes like ‘Feel The Music’ which is like a ray of sunshine sparkling amongst sets, S.P.Y’s production is undoubtedly always on point.

Highlighting his ability to produce such eclectic beats, is his superb back catalogue of tunes from the last 4 years that have been released on a variety of labels such as CIA, Spearhead, Liquid V and Metalheadz, which all promote different sounds to the D&B scene. There are also the collaborations with artists such as Marky, Total Science and C.A.B.L.E as well as a list of big remixes….where SPY finds time to create this amount of good music and travel the world touring, is a mystery!

But don’t worry, as Micky and V will be finding this and a lot more when S.P.Y comes into the BANG studios for the Drum & Bass Show on Friday 30^th July, 10pm-midnight. He’ll also be dropping a very special 30min mix, so make sure you don’t miss it…and Lady V has a very very special question to ask him.  Will he say yes??

The Drum & Bass Show, THE start to your weekend rave!

LISTEN AGAIN - Catch Melanin Nine on the Hip Hop Show - Tuesday 7-10pm

Don’t miss M9 on The Hip Hop Show with Mr.13, Tuesday 7-10pm on BANG 103.6FM

Melanin 9’s less doubtful journey into the path of hip hop started from a young age of 14, from which stemmed from a big inspiration of various legendary emcees and producers such as Mobb Deep, Nas, Onyx, Ras Kass, The Ummah, Lord Finesse, Pete Rock, and Wu-Tang to say the least. His ardent ambition to study further into the mechanisms of emcing would land him into his first appearance on the mic with a group known as “Anarchy” at the age of 15 from which was formed from a close school friend known as propaganda. The team consisted of six members M9 being the last member to be embraced. “I would check Ty (Propaganda) and we would freestyle for hours from the beats he made on his ejay, I was blown away by talent he had, just to hear a person I knew make beats on that level was a big insipration for me, we would then find the right lyrics and we would start to record until a track was made”.

M9 would religiously attend a local youth club, who were relentlessly focused on getting teenagers of the streets and into music, the lessons taught by the music engineers would familiarise him with the production side of hip hop and he would go on to produce his first track “Maintain” with another group of boys known as “Illite 13”. From this track blossomed a spiritual bond with this group and was soon initiated as part of them, the members being “Mayhem and Ozeeks”. “ I knew mayhem from school his brother was my brothers age group, we would always show each other love, until one day I went to check him and I would find out we shared the same love for the rap game, we would freestyle for days in his brothers yard to some I’ll new york beats, he showed me a lot of what i know today about emcing”. M9’s name was now beginning to have a local buzz, but the struggle to deal with the hardships of being a teenager was ever so prominent, from dropping in and out of college, to observing his local surroundings had him reflecting what he saw on his lyric pad and viciously transending his lyrical ability.

At the age of 21 M9 found himself anxious to let the world hear his material but with no avenues to put it out left him frustrated, eventually he would uncannily stumble upon a very skilled rapper known as skriblah dan gogh, from coincidenlty living next door to each other at a foyer. At that point skriblah was well known from being a member of a group known as “terra firma”. Skriblah was determined to let the world know about m9 through any avenue he thought was possible, they then began to realte to each others struggle on a track known as “Cold” which was a big turning point for m9, from this point he would become friends with another well known producer called chemo. His relationship with skriblah also had him gravitating towards two hackney emcees known at the time as “phalanx heresy”. “I remember being in skriblah’s room and these two guys came to check him, we started to politik on the game and how its changed and what we can individually offer to it, we began to form a cypher. I remember being very impressed with the duo’s lyrical abilities and wanting to engage in future collaborations”.
The plot began to thicken as m9 found himself recording a track with phalanx heresy called “Politikin” from this track formed two other tracks known as “Pyramid Warz” and “Children of the Matrix”. At this point a decision was made to consolidate talents into one group which will stop at nothing to deliver a message of the mental, physical and spiritual barriers their nation faces on a daily basis, the groups name would be “Triple Darkness”. By March 2007 Melanin 9’s first official solo offering “Hi Fidelity” was presented to the world. His dream of always wanting to sell a product from himself in major stores became a reality. Even though it was seen as an album it was only a mixtape, which received very positive feedback to say the least, from major magazine article writers such as Hip Hop connection, Blues & Souls and DJ mag. His singles “4 Souls” and “Cold” received very heavy rotation on radio stations such as BBC1 Xtra”, BBC Asian, Itch FM and many more. His solo offering had major promoters intriged and was given a chance to open shows for artists such as Styles P, Saigon, Immortal Technique, Redman and Method Man.
