Charlie Dark - Blacktronica Pt 2: Lovers Rock, Broken Beat & South London Sound | The Listening Room

Charlie Dark MBE — DJ, record collector, cultural curator, and founder of Run Dem Crew — returns with Blacktronica Pt. 2, a journey through the records, scenes, and innovators that shaped Black electronic music. From South London house parties to Soul II Soul Sundays at the Africa Centre, pirate radio, warehouse raves, Plastic People, and broken beat, Charlie brings his personal memories and wider cultural history together once again for an unmissable session at 180 Studios. The Listening Room is an ongoing series from The Vinyl Factory in which artists, selectors and writers explore music through focused listening and archival research.
