DJ ~ Every 2nd & 4th Weds 12-2PM GMT on SWU.FM (Rinse FM)

LEXXI blends bass, breaks, and soulful cuts — a Bristol DJ rooted in sound system culture with an ear for dynamic, unexpected sets.

A DJ with a taste that refuses to sit still, LEXXI began as a dub selector — cutting her teeth playing full records from start to finish, learning how to let music breathe, build, and speak for itself. That instinct still underpins her sets, even as her sound has grown more fluid and unpredictable.

Now a familiar name in Bristol’s underground and the founder of Peachin’, LEXXI is known for her bouncy, bass-heavy style — fusing deep low-end, soulful vocals, and percussive grooves with ease. She threads together UK sound system roots with alt-R&B, dancehall, and underground club sounds from across the globe, delivering sets that are dynamic, emotive, and always full of movement. With a bi-weekly show on SWU.FM, she brings the same focused energy whether she’s soundtracking slow afternoons or sweaty dancefloors.

Janine "Jah9" Cunningham

Old school blues improvisation meets hard hitting lyrical prowess in a rich imaginative blend of vocal clarity and complexity. Janine brings her refreshing mix of contemporary and conscious poetry to the stage and delivers a mature, sophisticated style with a unique and captivating energy all of her own. Her musical influences range from Billie Holiday and Nina Simone to Augustus Pablo and Sizzla Kalonji. 

As a singer/songwriter/activist, Janine touches on issues ranging from social injustice, violence, politics and gender to intimate matters of the heart, mind and spirit. Janine a.k.a. ‘Jah9’ has emerged from the underground poetry/live music scene relatively unknown and has earned the hearts and respect of her peers and audiences with each encounter since. 

Over the past 5 years she has been consistently and impressively making her mark on the Jamaican musical landscape, inspiring audiences and musicians alike through her songs and the live productions she has conceptualized and staged. She is now poised for heavy rotation due to her signature sound and collaborations with ace producers including Donovan Bennett of Corleon Records, Sheldon Bernard and Beres Hammond of Harmony House Music, and on her highly anticipated debut album project with Rory "Stonelove" Gilligan. The album is slated for release on February 26, 2013 but Jah9 is already in demand as a songwriter and creative director of repute. 

'Jazz on Dub’ is the sound she has created - a mix of her two favourite music forms, while infusing all expressions of the arts into her live performances. She intends to take her word sounds to the world, entertaining and inspiring all along the way. This young woman is full to the brim and pouring her heart out.

Thee Deadtime Philharmonic - Biography

Based in the ex-mining town of Swadlincote, South Derbyshire, Murdoch's songwriting reflects the carnage left behind in a town still on its knees from Thatcher’s strangle hold on the working classes.

Relentless gigs all over the UK (including all the major cities and the nowhere towns where most bands don't bother to go) have gained the band an ever-growing army of dangerously devoted fans. Their militant working class stance caught the eye of Clash legend Mick Jones, who took Deadtime out on the road as special guests, and Murdoch has since recorded a single and album with The Tribunes (out on Honest Jons Records and featuring Mick Jones’s rhythm section from Carbon/Silicon). The Clash connection continued when Strummerville (The Joe Strummer Foundation For New Music) invited Deadtime into the family by funding their first single, double a-side 'Moths/Spine' with producer Paul Tipler (Idlewild, 80s Matcbox, Dr Feelgood,Elastica). Strummerville also added 'Spine’ (demo) to their prestigious DIY download page, where it held the No.1 slot for nine months in the Strummerville chart. The band have also worked with other producers such as Brett Shaw (Unkle, Florence and the Machine, Gorillaz) and David Glover (Self Esteem, Slow Club, Richard Hawley) Among the band’s other supporters was the late Michael Davis of the legendary MC5. 

Deadtime continue to receive outstanding reviews for their high octane, raw, emotive live shows. International and national radio airplay for the band has come from Don Letts, Jarvis Cocker, Janice Long and Tom Robinson (BBC Introducing/BBC6) to name a few. Deadtime have also appeared on Channel 4 (Strummerville Sessions) Russia Today (Going Underground) and had Michael Socha from This is England/Being Human appear in their 'Bad Lad' and direct the video for 'Hardlines'.
