This week’s podcast pick is The Dubsession. Brought to you by DJ Chill Will, Dubsession is a weekly show covering progressive reggae dub and downtempo grooves - and it sure as hell covers a lot of ground.

At the time of writing this there were 44 shows packed away in the archives, so if you’re new to Dubsession there’s a lot of listening to do just to catch up.

Here it is folks, another top podcast to look out for. This week’s pick is from seminal west-coast hip-hop label Stones Throw.

There are eight episodes available opening up with a tribute to the late, great J Dilla. The retro ‘82 set from Peanut Butter Wolf & Baron Zen is a laugh-a-minute hour of electro funk with more vocoders than you can shake a mic at. Madlib’s 45s mix is worth checking too.

The latest episode is available from www.stonesthrow.com/jukebox, and the back issues can be downloaded from iTunes.
