Roots and Future: A History of U.K. Dance by Afropop Worldwide published on 2016-06-22T21:35:09Z Look around today’s musical mainstream, and you’ll quickly realized that dance styles are everywhere, filling stadiums, topping charts, and gathering tens of thousands in festivals around the country. Yet few know their full history. “Roots and Future” explores how a community of (primarily) black British musicians, fans, D.J.s, and radio pirates recreated dance music in the United Kingdom during the 1990s and 2000s. Connected to the musical mainstream during 1989’s drug and rave fueled “second summer of love,” these musicians learned to combine American hip-hop, dancehall toasting, dub bass, and techno euphoria to create style after chart-topping style, from drum-twisting jungle to the slick sounds of garage, the ferocious rhythms of grime, and the all-encompassing low-end of dubstep. We’ll speak to legendary pirate radio D.J.s, underground label owners, and groundbreaking producers. We’ll check young M.C.s spitting their bars on illegal frequencies, and hear veterans playing to their beloved audiences. And most importantly? We’ll rave. See you on the dance floor. #733 Roots and Future: A History of U.K. Dance Producer: Sam Backer Airdate: June 23rd 2016 Genre Dance & EDM Comment by rimi_monster2011 Awesome 2020-05-20T20:43:20Z Comment by MDM The riddim ! 2019-05-21T15:07:17Z Comment by 1 Hand Clapping Bassline 2019-05-14T01:33:06Z Comment by 1 Hand Clapping WAR RIDDIM 2019-05-14T01:24:37Z Comment by 1 Hand Clapping RELOOOOOOOAD! 2019-05-14T01:04:56Z Comment by 1 Hand Clapping CHOOOOOON 2019-05-14T00:58:01Z Comment by MÍĶĘ ĐØŤÝ BEAUTIFUL 2018-07-31T09:16:21Z Comment by Madbrad200 grime bit starts here 2017-12-06T20:40:28Z Comment by BLAXMYTH Justice! 2017-10-03T17:18:42Z Comment by The_Nyhylist this is full of knowledge,awesome 2017-04-20T21:44:52Z Comment by Conradio :) @conradio-1: (not the tune, the radio show) 2017-03-24T12:32:15Z Comment by Conradio :) @jesse-jbomb-yuen: eeeeeeasy ! anyone know where this was lifted from ? 2017-03-24T12:31:43Z Comment by Dieter De Lausnay could you guys hook us up with a tracklist? 2017-02-10T17:25:33Z Comment by G-ROD Great history!!
