2SHY MC: From Pirate Radio To Stadiums With Andy C & Goldie | An Incredible Rave Story.

Billy Daniel Bunter sits down with 2SHY MC for one of the most fascinating Rave Story episodes yet. From growing up in South London’s multicultural melting pot of Peckham, Lewisham, Brockley and Brixton, discovering reggae, hip hop, and hip-house in the 80s, to Pirate Radio days in derelict flats with no toilets, 2SHY MC takes us on an incredible journey through 30 years of rave, jungle, and drum & bass culture. We talk about: – The roots of Pirate Radio in South London and how he became 2SHY MC – Graffiti, tagging, and discovering hardcore raves like Fantasia, World Dance & Helter Skelter – Early influences from Rat Pack, Top Buzz, Moose, Navigator & Fearless – Rude FM and the breakthrough with Eksman, Evil B, Herbzie & Rage – 15 years as Fabric London resident, MCing every Friday with GQ for the biggest names in DnB – Touring the world with Goldie, Andy C, Bad Company, Noisia – from South Korea’s Olympic Stadium (100,000 people) to Glastonbury (80,000 people) – Being held up at gunpoint on tour, chaos travelling with Goldie, and the rock-star rise of Noisia – Music saving him from prison, from pirate flats with rats to stadiums and festivals – The art of the warm-up set, the politics of Pirate Radio, and how the DnB scene has changed – The dangers of corporates taking over drum & bass vs the underground spirit that created it – Supporting overlooked artists with his own events and keeping underground clubs alive This is the raw, uncut story of 2SHY MC – the voice of some of the biggest drum and bass acts of the last three decades.
