This month's high-energy installment of Generation X [RadioShow] on AAJA Radio delivers a powerhouse selection of breakbeats, bass, and the usual glowing energy.
There is a variety of tunes with the likes of Nefti, Skooler & Flare, Scuba, InnerCore, Damage Inc, Champion Breaks, Z-Neo, Mata, and more, alongside a nod to some oldskool sounds that continue to inspire the scene.
As always, the show wraps up with the 'CHOON TO GLOW' segment, spotlighting a record that stands the test of time. This time, it’s none other than Soul II Soul’s 'Back 2 Life' - a seminal record that peaked the No.1 spot on the UK Singles Chart in June 1989. Specially chosen for this segment following my recent visit to the Black Sound London exhibition, where Soul II Soul were also featured, recognizing their profound impact on Black British music and the evolution of UK club culture.
