![]() In Jamaica, after he began clashing live on national radio with DJ Barry G, he became so famous that his name was even adopted by a Kingston gangster. But standard versions of tracks don’t cut it in a clash, where the true currency is ‘dubplates’ – versions of tracks recut, often by the original artist, with lyrics changed to praise the playing crew or diss the opposing one. This musical competition where crew members from opposing sound systems pit their skills against each other involves the playing of records in turn, with the crowd ultimately deciding who has ‘killed’ the other crew, by playing the better chosen track. Bob Marley personally chose Rodigan’s show to play out the world exclusive of Could You Be Loved.Īs well as being a DJ, Rodigan also began to ‘soundclash’ on a global stage. ![]() In the 80s, his radio show became such a Sunday lunchtime fixture in London’s West Indian households that it was colloquially known as ‘rice ‘n’ peas’. Since that first break, he’s had shows on Capital, Kiss and now BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC Radio 2. His break first came on BBC Radio London, where his knowledge and infectious enthusiasm won him the gig. Instead, he would haunt London’s specialist record shops and sneak out to Jamaican clubs alone. At one point, his fellow students agreed to share a house with him only if Rodigan agreed not to play reggae. The beginning of his career conjures up a forgotten era when reggae was reviled by liberal, hippyish music fans because of its association with skinheads. This is a film about the career of David Rodigan but it’s also a window through which to see a wider human story about social change in the UK: a story of immigration and integration, and music’s role within it. His constant championing of it has afforded him national treasure status with generations of British Jamaicans and all lovers of reggae music. His passion and his profession have given him a privileged, insiders’ view of the UK’s love affair with Jamaican music that began in the 1950s.
