I’ve been wanting to get a recorded set from Random Hero (Tim) since hearing him in the back of the Swan in Wantage many years ago, and with Facebook I managed to pin him down. Tim describes this mix as “A blend of Hip Hop with a splash of “Reggae Reggae Sauce” and a hint of Funk. I’m pleased to say it doesn’t disappoint. In addition to the BITS! mixes we feature on Blunted we’ll be running little mini interviews to let you know more about the DJs.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Duck about 10 years ago. Little did I know that in the future, he would be banging out dope Reggae flavoured sets with his partner in crime Johnny Clash, and that I would be in the fortunate position to be able to share it with you. From his days with Commonground to his present day duties with Bam Bam, Duck always plays a lively selection.
