Love Me Darkly

On 12 September 2014, in his 11th professional fight, Jerome was knocked out in the sixth round. He never got up. He was rushed to hospital and spent ten days comatose. He had suffered a subdural haematoma, a large bleed on the brain. 

Jerome's future is uncertain, but he knows he is lucky to be alive. I spoke to Jerome and his fellow boxers about their views on the sport, the business and the support available to fighters when things go wrong in the ring.

It was fascinating to hear his perspective and those of an an ex-world champion too, so hope you enjoy listening.

Comprised of Josh Inyang and Josh Reidy, Space Afrika first cropped up a few years back on Where To Now? (the label responsible for our 113th Truancy Volume) with their tape release Above The Concrete/Below The Concrete. It was The Manchester duo’s Primrose Avenue EP from late last year on the same label that especially caught our attention; A fare of gloriously subtle dub techno and house that took cues from Rod Modell and Kassem Mosse, the record felt like a considered appreciation of the strange comfort a rainy inner city journey might invoke. We’re incredibly pleased to have the pair put together our 162nd edition of our Truancy Volume series. They also spoke to us about the mix, their music and their influences. Sink in.
