We recommend Black Music in Europe: A Hidden History, now in its series 4 on BBC Radio 4. DJ Marfox speaks of his art, craft & experience, in this episode looking at black music in Europe in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

“Clarke Peters’ concluding three-part series reveals stories from the history of black music in Europe over the last four decades. From the collapse of the Eastern Bloc to the rise of multiculturalism, this was a time that saw old walls come tumbling down, while new forms of technology and new styles of music were all emerging at a rapid pace. In this programme, Clarke looks at the music of black Europe in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall. We hear from Jeff Mills and Dimitri Hegemann on Detroit techno in Berlin, and electronic pioneers Shut Up and Dance on the rave era in London. Rita Maia and DJ Marfox talk about the Batida scene in Lisbon. Produced by Tom Woolfenden”

Released On: 18 Aug 2021. Available for over a year.
