DJ, record store, booking agency, radio show, club night... (The list goes on). This edition of the OOX mix series is brought to you by the man behind Chester's Stepping Tiger!
Ben "Roman" Haslett is such a diggers' digger. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of reggae and a finely-tuned ear for an overlooked B-side. His parties across the North West are well known for their bubbling mix of live jazz artists and heavy-weight selectors. If you enjoy his mix, be sure to check out his shows on Melodic Distraction and Radio Alhara راديو الحارة
In his own words:
"A mix dedicated to the diggers with dusty fingers. A mix featuring those tracks that you never end up playing out, those pound bin bangers that rock up unexpectedly. You’ll find everything from the mystical, underrated, sounds of Norma Tanega to country versions of R&B oldies. A snapshot into a diggers box celebrating all wax from the rare to the obscure, hope you enjoy."
The mix was aired on my April OOX Music show on Netil Radio. Fast-forward to 57:45:00 for interview with Ben followed by the mix!
