Dub On Air with Dennis Bovell: Mark Stewart Tribute (21/05/2023)

More psychedelic outlaws than hippies, holing up in hill country hideouts to escape police harassment, dealing drugs to survive and offering up  a  mix of LSD evangelism, mystical philosophy and straight-up rock’n’roll, in their short existence, the 13th Floor Elevators succeeded in blowing the lid off the musical underground, logging early salvos in the countercultural struggle against state authorities, and turning their deeply hallucinatory take on jug-band garage rock into a new American institution called psychedelic music. 

Paul Drummond author of 'Eye Mind - the Saga of Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators’ deemed the band significant enough to spend eight years of his life researching and writing about them - along with producing the definitve compilations of their work.

We dig into their craziness - and into Janis Joplin, LSD, peyote, Antonin Artaud, mayhem and madness and music

Norman Jay MBE is a British DJ. He first came to prominence playing unlicensed or “warehouse” parties in the early 1980s, such as Shake ‘n’ Fingerpop. His diverse and deep musical knowledge and his refusal to be restricted to playing from any single genre distinguishes him from his peers. He is commonly attributed to coining the phrase “rare groove”.

Since 1995 Jay has released numerous mix compilations, such as Good Times, Giant 45 and most recently Skank & Boogie, released through Rob da Bank’s record label Sunday Best.
