Having cut my musical teeth on the sounds of Reggae with Ska band The Frustrations back in Oxford, I got into the heavy sounds Jamaica's finest Dub and Reggae producers. Moved to Sheffield in 2007 and started in radio with the 'Dub Revolution' show (SureRadio) which blasted out reggae, dub, ska and conspiracy theories as and when they were needed (frequently).
Began DJing under the title of 'The Ital Duke' around Sheffield and started the 'Ital Sounds' show (forgeradio.com), this time as myself - Ben Webster - in 2008, which serves up a hearty portion of Reggae, Dub and Ska with extra Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Soul and anything else Ital every week on thursday evenings.
Give us a shout if you're feeling shows, mixes or any other clap-trap ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm always trying to get fresh local talent onto my show, so if you're an artist, DJ, producer, promoter, indie label etc. and you want to get your music out there, then drop me a track or two and i'd be glad to give it a listen and a spin on Ital Sounds.
