Last show of the year, and as tradition dictates it’s another episode to look back over the year but this time doing something a little bit different. Aswad sits down with Walla P (Voyage Funktastique/Prime Source), as they host an end of year review. Together they talk and share their favourite records covering LPs, 12", 7" and reissues.
