One of our faves, Lil C serves up a wicked 30min power half-hour of summer feeling riddims. Bashment & dancehall flavours throughout, Lil C delivers as always. Honoured to have the @Prestigepakuk starlet join the series :)
We also caught up with Lil C for a lil chat, read below > 

AM: We’re big listeners of of your PPPH show on NTS,  it’s wicked & has been a saving grace through lockdown especially. Dancehall is a big theme for it of course, when did your love for dancehall come about? 

For anyone growing up in south london - there is no way to escape dancehall , at some point you will hear it blasting out of speakers in someones car or from someones window, on the bus, at parties. My family is from Jamaica & my grandma was part of the windrush generation (but she was also a lovely christian lady so she wasn't blasting the type of dancehall I play on my show but we would go on full family excursions to Notting Hill Carnival every year from as far back as I can remember) so it was always present in the environment i grew up in, directly and indirectly but my big brother is the person to credit for introducing me to dancehall particularly stuff that was coming out in the mid - late 00s - lots of Elephant Man, Tony Matterhorn & early Kartel.  So the seed was planted when I was quite young & by the time i was a teenager I was mildly obsessed with going to festivals & parties - and heard about a reggae festival in Spain called Rototom, managed to convince my Mum to buy me a ticket under the pretence that I deserved to go because I was planning to study spanish for A level & that this would be a very good opportunity to speak some spanish......(turns out, I went 6 years in a row and did actually end up improving my level of conversational spanish so it wasn't total bullshit). 
So that annual pilgrimage cemented my love for bashment & getting to see the power that sound system culture has in a real life capacity - I was struck by the undeniable impact of Jamaican music on a global scale - that it figuratively vibrated across the world via sound systems, vinyls, and radio waves. 
it sounds corny as hell, but I felt connected to my heritage through listening & appreciating the music that came from Jamaica & that hasn't changed - even though when I go to Jamaica - my family tells me I'm english..... meanwhile I've been telling everyone in England I'm half Jamaican.  

AM: It’s tough to do much at the mo, but what have you been doing recently? 

I've got into a decent little routine over the past few months, most days it involves, stretching, meditating, going out for a 1hr walk, doing emails, taking a break at lunchtime to watch countdown with a cup of tea, going back to work, watching the simpsons at 6pm , cooking dinner & then listening to music in the evening. 
I've been doing a LOT of cooking & broadcasting radio regularly which has been instrumental in keeping my head above water. 

AM: Prestige Pak is a wicked collective you’re apart of, what was the inspiration for it?  

It's pretty simple- its a shared mindset - and grew into 4 close friends who respectively were all actively involved in club culture / night life & decided to throw parties and play sets together united via our love of filthy music & consuming good food. It started out as just a name to bill when Handsome Rob & I would get booked to play student club nights together - then we released its a lot more fun to DJ with your best mate for a few hours than being stood up there solo. The idea actually came from a packet of sainsburys taste the difference cured meat - as we were students at the time we thought it was ironic as most of our peers would buy whatever was cheap or filling, and we were sat sharing a charcuterie platter - we had a shared appreciation for living your life in a prestige way but avoiding being a posh snob about it & not taking yourself or the prestige lifestyle too seriously because
