Live interview with James Blake - Go-Go music producer and film director from Washington DC.

On Wednesday 4th July we featured a special show focuced on Washington D.C. Go-Go, with an exclusive live interview with James Blake live in the USA.

Go-Go is a unique sound, with many rap and R&B artists having sampled beats from existing Go-Go records, to create some of the finest hits that you have heard in Rap and R&B music over the past two decades (most often without crediting the Go-Go scene in Washington D.C.).

If you want to get a feel for the development or urban black music in the UK, and the effect it’s had on club culture, a quick glance at Mr Jay’s resume gives you a potted history of it all!

His roots go back to 1978, being part of Soul Incorporated Roadshow, which went on to play all over the UK alongside the best reggae and soul sounds, such as Sir Coxsone, Saxon International and Java Hi-Power.

By 1981, Jay had moved into early hip-hop, hosting the best jams in London’s Swiss Cottage working with Mindgame and the group Syn-Di-Cut.

Since 1986 Jay has spent his time between playing at underground jams and more commercial affairs, often hosting corporate parties for film launches and the like.
