The Ranting & Raving Podcast with Daveyboy

This week we’re joined by Daveyboy, a key figure in the Birmingham bassline and speed garage scene.

We talk about growing up in Brum, discovering DJing, early gigs, and how Silk City Radio helped push the sound across the city. Davey also tells the story behind Ecko Records, running some of the biggest bassline nights Birmingham has seen, and what the scene was really like at its peak.

There’s also a quick chat about the news that Ian Huntley has reportedly died.

As always we finish with a listener dilemma about a nightmare neighbour, a football-themed Penalty Shootout, and a quick-fire round with Daveyboy.
