In 1978 at Ridge Farm Studios, two seemingly disparate musical styles met head on and created a unique moment in music history. "Punky Reggae Party" takes a close look at the making of the track "New Town", part of the seminal Slits' debut LP "Cut". The story is told by producer Dennis Bovell and Slits guitarist Viv Albertine.

Many styles - Furious Styles - present on this here new show for Soho Radio. A full technical glitches shouldn't spoil the enjoyment of a show that starts with Curtis, ends with Mr Scruff and shimmies from Soca disco, to African funk via Floating Points, Public Enemy by way of Isaac Hayes. Tracklist for your perusal if you're that way inclined, but I say just get with the music. Out to Mark Broadbent, Trevor Jackson, and everyone else who has inspired me musically  this week. 

This week's Soho Radio show started with the Dennis Bovell produced sound of The Slits and ended with the Mizell Brothers' peerless production of Johnny Hammond. Along the way there was some Nigerian disco ( ain't there always), some Tom Waits,  new music from Jim-E Stack and Clap Clap,  old music from The Beatnuts & Public Enemy, the best cut from a lesbian vampire soundtrack,  and of course something Purple from the very early Prince era.

Rob Da Bank & I are having a purple party and you're all invited. Having messed around doing a tribute party at the last three Bestivals, we decided to do it again in a bit more organised a fashion, creating an event dedicated properly to the music of Prince - originals & edits, inspiration & instrumentals, B-sides & bootlegs. 

The first outing of this is next week at Glastonbury in the Beat Hotel, then we'll be turning up at Camp Bestival, Bestival and a few other special places in between. I threw together this quick 30 minute mix as a taste of things to come. Hope you enjoy.
