Unfortunately delivered the week the government has effectively told everyone in the music industry to literally ‘f*ck off’, 1 More Thing proudly presents 5+ hours of sweary storytelling as we ask this question…
WHY do we tell the DJ to f*ck off?
A most curious drum & bass custom, the f*ck off has been part of the dancefloor’s vernacular for well over 20 years. But how and why did an insult become such a high-level compliment? And what’s happening socially, psychologically and neurologically when we say it?
All these questions – and more – will be answered as Dave Columbo Jenkins speaks to a whole host of MCs, DJs, scientists, lexicographers and psychologists to get to the bottom of this intriguing and sometimes controversial tradition.
Featuring interviews with Andy C, A.M.C, MC Foxy, Thys, Marky, Breakage, 2Shy MC, Tonn Piper, GQ, Ed Rush, Audio, DJ Patife, Jon Tho, Elisa Do Brasil, Deemas J, Teddy Killerz and SO MANY more, the quest celebrates some of the most important aspects of the culture; dubplates, MCs, the art of surprise and the fierce DIY spirit that has always driven the genre…. The fierce DIY spirit that will hopefully ensure there’s some type of scene left after the current COVID demolition.
PLUS we catch up with Kumarachi, play 3 Way Word Play with Starz & Deeza and enjoy TWO dope mixes: A label profile Nuusic with a mix from Rafiki Dubs and a guestmix from Pyxis who joins us for an interview with Ella Sopp, Collette Warren, Sydney and Sofi Mari. All this plus more.
Welcome to episode 2… The great big f*ck off adventure. Enjoy.
