Cwm Dancing!

Bangers, bleeps, bars, breaks and occassionally bizarre beats from the Land Of Song™️

It's Cwm Dancing! An exploration of the Welsh music landscape: Contemporary, electronic, ravey and eclectic. Hip-hop to house. Dubstep to disco.

Hosted by journalist, author and general vibesmith Dave Columbo Jenkins, this episode features an interview with the legendary breakbeat-loving composers Hybrid, special selections from the legendary Kaptin, a guestmix from S.W.I.D and exclusives from the likes of Xenith, Martyn Kinnear, TRC2, The Running Man, Stereoripe and LSN.

Plus some rather big news about next months episode which will be hosted LIVE at Love Trails!

What are you waiting for? Press play and lose yourself in a truly unique musical experience that's 100% unapologetically Welsh.

Cwm Dancing! Episode 7 (June 2023)

Welcome back to the Land Of Song for a VERY special episode of Cwm Dancing! 

Destination Love Trails Festival; a unique and beautiful gathering where wellness plays a lead role and leg shaking comes in a variety of flavours… Running, raving and many wholesome pursuits in between. PLUS loads of sick Welsh music! 

A different setting and style to our previous shows but still the same passion for homegrown music, expect the usual wide-armed eclectic selection and interviews with inspiring characters operating in the Welsh music landscape, it's Cwm Dancing ...

Complete with a whole stack of exclusive, unreleased music we guarantee you've never heard, and a 40 minute mix of strictly Welsh drum & bass, this was a beautiful experience and one we'd love to repeat in the future. 

We had no idea that within eight months of launching this podcast we'd be invited to host it live on the main stage of a festival! How cool is that?

A brand new dispatch from the Land Of Song™

Cwm Dancing returns to your speakers with a special late summer vibe-out. A moment to unwind from the intensity of the season, host and curator Dave Columbo Jenkins digs deep for the best musical escapism coming out of Welsh artists and Welsh labels  right now.

This month's episode features two super deep interviews. First up is Huw Marc Bennett who talks in depth about his influences, the importance of culture, the complexities of the Welsh identity and his beautiful new album Days Like Now.

Secondly we have the Running Man who guides us through the inspiring Beat Science event concept along with a sublime mix of incredible unsigned Welsh talent. And if that's not quite enough, Kaptin is back with his own hot picks, all influenced by his recent trip to NYC where he was present at the 50th anniversary of hip-hop this month. 

As always, it's a full-spectrum celebration of all Welsh electronic and beat-based music. There is so much wonderful music being made and released in this country!!
