Curious and contemporary dispatches from the Land Of Song.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Cwm Dancing; a unique music podcast that unearths and celebrates the many underground, leftfield, DIY, experimental, alternative and beat-based sounds of Wales.

Hip-hop to house music via drum & bass, trance, alt-pop and plenty, plenty more, the rule is simple - if it's made in Wales, made by a Welsh artist or released on a Welsh label then it's getting played.

Bangers from Bangor. Newness from Newport. Records from Raglan. Dubplates from Denbigh. The works.

Episode three is the most extensive and comprehensive show so far. This time we celebrate Dydd Miwsig Cymru (Feb 10) with an extensive interview with Mr Phormula and a feature with Afanc Records boss Gwion Roughion. We also speak at length with Dead Method about his new album and his experiences as an LGBTQ+ artist in Wales and wrap up the show with a crucial mini mix from rising Welsh jungle crafstman NonRev!

All this and so much more.... Cult classics, unreleased exclusives, dual language music, all delivered with great passion and detailed information by renowned music journalist and 1 More Thing founder Dave Columbo Jenkins.

OCTOSHED! ----->>>>>> ☀ weird Beats / DnB / Ambient / Breakbeats / Samples / > Noise / Field Recordings ☀ >>> ☀ Amiga / Linux Audio ☀ >>>>>>>> releasing new tracks [2023] along with tracks from the past few years [2016 ->], but maybe the odd nugget from a good few years ago [1996 -ish onwards].

To be honest, I'd given up on Soundcloud for a long while, but I've returned to it in 2022 and it seems to be much improved. Also, maybe I never quite appreciated it in the first place. It's one of those things that is too hard to comprehend the scale/size/quality of, so you need to spend time with it to get the most out of it. It's certainly great when you connect with someone new etc, or discover their music etc.

Multi-genre DJ and newbie jungle producer (under alias Lw)

Lubi J is all about the selections, whether it’s old skool or modern, atmospheric, soulful or dark and moody, she loves strong tunes that create impact in the dance.

Based in Cardiff, she started off mostly playing soulful/liquid jungle dnb back in 2000, heavily influenced by Fabio’s liquid funk album and artists like Calibre, Carlito and Addiction, Bukem and the EZ Rollers. 

Despite mostly playing liquid in the early days her love for jungle and the darker styles was always there and she would still pull out tracks from labels like Ram, Liftin Spirits, Metalheadz, V Recordings, Full Cycle and Renegade Hardware. 

In the latter part of the 00s she discovered her love for disco, funk and soul after being educated by her friend and artist Hoxe on the history of breakbeats in jungle. This led to a handful of local residencies playing funk & disco over the course of the next few years. 

She then returned more prominently to playing jungle dnb around 2012 when Catapult Records (legendary record store in Cardiff) started putting on events in the unique Vaults venue. 

She’s held residencies and played at a number of different nights in Cardiff and over the bridge in the last 20 years, supporting a raft of the finest in the scene, including; Fabio, Bukem, Calibre, Storm, Digital, Spirit, Total Science, Mampi Swift, Djinn, Roni Size, Break, Alley Cat, Randall, Klute and Doc Scott.

After feeling the void of modern jungle and heavier dnb in the capital city, the year 2022 brought the start of putting on her own events with fellow DJ, Electra. 
Headspace was born.

In 2024 Lubi J started playing disco regularly again, expanding her passion for these uplifting sounds and exploring more of the soulful/disco house spectrum, often alongside her ‘disco wife’, Sister Sesh  at one of their now legend b2bs, often seen at Cardiff’s Shake The Horse.

In addition to this, Lubi J has been quietly exploring producing jungle dnb and had her first release on Exstatic Records - ‘One and all’ in January 2024, under a new producer alias ‘Lw’ (pronounced Lou - a version of the Welsh word for ‘oath’).
