While Rude FM are filling up their weekly live DJ schedule – having just returned to the airwaves – they can often be heard playing classic sets from previous years. This is one such set, recorded several years ago, and is definitely not for the faint-hearted: lots of finely chopped up amen breaks intertwined with cold atmospheric pads and heavy basslines. This is the signature style of B-Key, who has been a DJ on Rude FM since 1996.
Back in September 2020 I posted what I thought was one of the last transmissions by Rude FM on the dial. It felt like Rude weren’t coming back onto the airwaves because their frequency was promptly occupied by a Turkish pirate called Dost FM. So imagine my complete surprise (and total delight!) when I heard them back on the air today, on their new frequency of 88.6. Readers of my other blog will know that I was their regular listener in the 90s, so their return is of a special significance for me. I hope you enjoy this set by Daz, recorded earlier today.
Summertime vibes on this mix.
Great jungle and drum & bass set from SG. Unfortunately the first 30 minutes could not be recorded due to severe local radio interference but the remainder more than makes up for it!
A bit of feedback on this recording that gets more noticeable towards the end, uploading it because of the quality acid house selection and it being a live breakfast show.
It’s rare that a pirate just plays out several tracks from an album without any interruptions or commentary, but so they did and here we post the recording of it. #NoHoldsBarred
