FACT MIX 382: DAVID RODIGAN



LISTEN HERE

For four decades David Rodigan has embraced reggae music with an enthusiasm that should inspire fans of any genre: He still considers himself a fan and goes to the trouble of collecting autographs every time he meets an artist he admires. As fans listeners will attest, autographs aren’t the only thing he collects: across his years DJing reggae on Radio London, Capital, Kiss and BBC Radio 1xtra, not to mention countless soundclashes, he’s built up a fearsome collection of oneaway dubplates from some of reggae’s biggest names. For over an hour, Rodigan brings out dubplates from Barrington Levy, Shaggy and more, blending old and new school reggae with his signature toasting, and it’s just perfect. No one – and we mean no one – does it like him.
