Very excited to present the next guest in the series - The unstoppable DJ Mantra. At this point she needs little introduction but if you don’t know she - along with partner Double O - is responsible for what has become London’s premier Jungle night - Rupture. They’re actually just about to celebrate their 16th year running. It’s a grass roots event and community and this extends to her work with EQ50 - a collective of women working towards fairer representation within drum and bass.

A real pleasure to talk to and we discuss how she was introduced to Pirate Radio by over-hearing her older brother listening to stations in his bedroom and how she started off her fascination with it all as a garage raver. She’s just someone who is so in touch with grass roots and the building of communities - and these are topics that come up time and time again in this chat.

0860 is an album, mixtape, radio station and interview series that explores the history and legacy of Pirate Radio and its importance in the development of UK underground music.

0860.fm INTERVIEW #8 - MANTRA

The infamous Open Forum session with Goldie on Kool FM. As DJ Ron always calls this 'The Metal Gate' 
It's a long old conversation. It gets quite heated at times! 

On the panel:
Goldie, Deman Rocker, DJ Ron, Five 0, Shy FX

Phones in:
Funky Flirt, Brockie.

Must say Brockie does lay down the law when he phones in! (1 hr 54 mins)

All recorded via tape from various sources. Thank you to those who contributed these recordings in which I put together to make it one continuous recording. 

Enjoy the history :)
