“Cha" and "te" are both Chinese words for tea. If a territory came into contact with the drink by:
• The Silk Road = "cha"
• Sea shipping routes (starting with Dutch traders) = "tea"
based on the original GT Road by Kuldeep Manak (1979) which was then sampled by Panjabi MC for a UKG version (2001) and then this jungle version produced by

Efforts are still underway to stem the flooding and clear the water. However, the devastation the flooding has caused will take many months to rectify and get people back on their feet again.
And just like that. The music industry is forever changed.
I recorded a verse, and had a trained AI model of Kanye replace my vocals.
The results will blow your mind. Utterly incredible.
In a beautiful show of resilience and unity, ordinary people have banded together to take matters into their own hands to rebuild their homes and communities, supported by the likes of

also gave me an excuse to dig into the vintage footage archive for clips of some of the songs i played in the show being performed live 📹
this one is the Shahenshah-I-Qawwali (the King of Kings of Qawwali) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party peforming Nit Khair Manga, July 1988

Jason Kaye had such a big hand in so much of our music.
In Top Buzz at the front of hardcore where everything started. He was a cold jungle dj for a bit. The number one garage dj for years before EZ. Then pushing what became grime music with Social Circles. What a legacy! RIEP.
As many of you will be aware Panjab and other regions in the North of the Subcontinent are experiencing severe flooding and destruction caused by water logging.
Many have lost loved ones, homes and their livelihoods. Those with the least have been hardest hit.
