Jahtari Live Digital Laptop Reggae Set

Laurie Anderson – ‘O Superman’ (Nonesuch)

Burial starts off beautifully, lovely bass and dark synths. Hobbs keeps rolling out the dubstep for a while, including a fantastic dubstep riddim by The Bug with Flowdan pon di mic. This combo is amazing! Flowdan is pure spitfire Rastafari - like Ninjaman meets Sizzla inna concrete jungle! BIG TUNE! An interlude into experimental electronica and noise that sounds like Squarepusher left alone in a room with a toddler and a Casio, some relaxing dub frequencies that step up to UK steppers dub, building suspense, building intrigue for all these spacey sounds…. unless you skip ahead. A unique set from JAHTARI kicks in at 16:50 (BBC radio players use the time of the show). All spaced out, relaxing, digital dub. Beautiful stuff. Lay down with a warm wet cloth over your eyes or something, really relax and listen to this lovely sound. Enjoy! Then wake back up to a little Laurie Anderson and enjoy the last half hour of the show.

JAHTARI on Tour And BBC Radio - HearingTest
JAHTARI Net Label - HearingTest

Earlier, i pointed out a net-label called JAHTARI, where you can listen to streaming digital dub and reggae, or save a few releases for later… Well, i just got the scoop that Mary Anne Hobbs will be broadcasting the collective mind that is known as JAHTARI on her radio show which will broadcast either this week or next week. Mary Anne Hobbes is the dj and hostess of a radio show on BBC Radio, who specializes in “leftfield” music. She mixes and matches quite a bit of grime, experimental electronica, breakcore, noise, and lots of yummy bass beat heavy music. If you listen to this week’s archive, there is a remix of Beastie Boys’ “Paul Revere” (Best Element Remix from the LP- The Dedicated Beatheads Sound Convention Vol. 1 on Audiac) right around minute 16:54 i believe. [ok, technical detail - each show starts at 16:00 does anyone know why? and you can fast forward in 5 minute increments or 15 minute increments, so hit that 16:50 sweet spot and sit tight.] Mary Anne Hobbs show on BBC Radio 1 airs live in the UK every Friday morning (Thursday night for night-owls) 2AM- 4AM. It streams live over the internet at BBC Radio 1 MAH page and is archived for only one week before being replaced by the new show.

Watch Mary Anne Hobbs radio show page on BBC Radio 1 for the upcoming JAHTARI studio performance.
