* In some Latin American musical contexts (such as Cuban or Puerto Rican), "Bomba" refers to a genre of music and dance - there may well be a lot of this

We therefore honour him by making him this Monday's #ArtistOfTheWeek.....

We will be also having a rather chunky #ThemeOfTheWeek on #Freedom because... well, why not!

Lot's of the other features and some other groovy tunes besides....

Also, as there is a new joint album out from Dub Pistols and The Freestylers we will be doing The Freestylers as #artistoftheweek.

There will be #CoversCorner, #TheHornSection and more!

Plus!!! A special #ThemeOfTheWeek on Green to celebrate last week's ray of hope before everything went to shit again!

Plus a load of the usual features....

It will be great as usual! (or at least entirely #adequate for yourself.

Following the death of Sly Dunbar the other week, this week's Phat Planet show will be a two hour tribute to the total reggae legend who spent a lot of time being one half of rythmn powerhouse Sly and Robbie....

But given than he is described as "probably the most recorded drummer in history, DJ Dubious will be casting the net wide and showcasing not just some reggae classics, but also loads of other stuff where, often suprising, artists couldn't resist getting a bit of his groove!

Looks like there is a lot of it already here, or on its way....

This week on the @Phat Planet show, DJ Dubious will be kicking off the year with LOVELINESS! No filler, just loads of his go to tracks with #FeelGood flavour.....

Also, 24 years since he died on 15th December 2001, #ArtistOfTheWeek will be US funk and soul legend Rufus Thomas.

#JazzClub, #CoversCorner, #TheHornSection and loads more besides.... (maybe even a little more festive merriment!)

No #ThemeOfTheWeek or #ArtistOfTheWeek this time, but a #JazzClub double header, #TheHornSection and #CoversCorner will all be there!

(oh, as there are only 3 Phat Planet's till #Xmas there might even be cheeky slice of festive tuneage! But don't let that put you off!)

So this week’s show will feature a large selection of sixties* classics, reworks, remixes and mashups, and if time allows, a bit of a special feature on #celticdub

(*within a decade either way!)

DJ Dubious is fresh back from his holidays in #France with some great new music, so This week's @PhatPlanet show will be 100% French and Francophone with new tunes and old!

And, having just been announced on the programme for next year's @Boomtown, French DJs and beatmakers extraordinaire @L'Entourloop will be this week's #ArtistsOfTheWeek....

Catch him for the final show of this three week bus replacement service radio show - if you liked what he played the last two weeks, you are probably going to love tonight's show! If you didn't, tune-in anyway, he might play something radically different, or you might suddenly acquire a taste for it! Who knows?!

He is probably going to play loads more of that groovy music stuff!

One of those weeks where just two things can easily carry a whole show!

Due to the sad passing of the legend that is/was Dr. Jane Goodall about half the show will be dedicated to a primate orientated #ThemeOfTheWeek!

The other half (and it is probably going to be the middle half) will be celebrating the awesomeness of Stereo MCs as #ArtistsOfTheWeek featuring them and interactions with justin robertson, Leftfield, Lyrics Born, @SteveHillage, Future Sound of London and more!

We are excited! You should probably be too! :-)

And DJ Dubious is still suffering from a binge of nostalgia after the party the other weekend so there will be an early 90s old-school rave #BoxOfBangers AND Ed Solo will be #ArtistOfTheWeek....

So prepare for a lively last hour! 🙂

There's a danger things might get over excited in the middle, but there is every intention to end the show with some moments of great beauty to sooth your weary souls!

Any one who was there, big up yerselves! We all made a beautiful thing happen! 😀

Check it out and kickstart your week with another musical adventure!

or some of them at least.... despite playing for hours there were still quite a few tunes waiting on the bench!

Expect some that were too mellow for the full-on crazy dancefloors that manifested, along with some absolute bangers that there wasn't quite enough time for!

Check it all out and kickstart your week with another musical adventure!

DJ Dubious is just back from the World Yoga Festival and has put together a show of tunes old and new, from and influenced by the Indian sub-continent and diaspora....

DJ Dubious is back!

Marking the 79th anniversary of the introduction of #bread rationing in 1946, a year after WWII had ended, and 48 years since the Sex Pistols' debut on #TopOfThePops, we shall be making these #ThemeOfTheWeek and #ArtistOfTheWeek respectively....

Plus all the usual shizzle in jazzy African, Latin and global sorts of ways!

With the help of the wonderful people at Glasto Latino and Rene Álvarez himself, we have been sent a hot off the mixing desk, never played out before anywhere, copy of Negrita - the new track by @alvarezfunk_

"Multi-instrumentalist and singer Rene Álvarez has been one of the most sought-after Latin musicians in Europe. Álvarez Funk are his 9-piece Cuban funk band, combining his Afro-Cuban roots with North American Funk and the sounds of the historic musical bridge between West Africa and Cuba. "
