The premise behind the Ragged Radio show was basically to mix old and new, a sound clash to the nth degree with big spring reverb bosh, crossing boundaries and showing the musical parallels between genres. Pretentiousness aside, your hosts, Desa and I, just wanted to play something "good".
Now, after three years of Wired Radio (Goldsmiths colleges’ station) and having graduated, the Ragged Radio Show is looking for a new place to lay its hat and call home.
Big ups to the mighty Straight No Chaser magazine and Mr Bradshaw for supplying us with music and me with journalism work, much appreciated and Monkeyboxer for the Logo design. Guests with the ability to ‘rip the mic’: Excentral Tempest, Mowgli and Chosen Fume and everyone who made us the soundtrack to their evening, you guys put a fat smile on my face. Safe ones! Iron Halo
