Cwm Dancing: uncompromised underground dispatches from the Land Of Song™

Join NoDave Columbo Jenkins for another two hours of Welsh sonics. From hip-hop to house, dub to drum & bass and many experimental forms and flavours in between, once again we’re taken on a unique Celtic trip. 

This month Dave chats to Unity and Zee Rock as they guide us around their Witching Tree EP ahead of its Halloween release, the Kaptin is back with another slice of supreme Welsh rap jams and Rob Why is on a humungous guestmix ahead of Cwm Dancing’s first club collaboration on October 28 at Back To Bassix, Haverfordwest. 

PLUS a world exclusive from DJ Jaffa and Hugo Monster that has yet to be played anywhere else! 

All this and plenty more. We guarantee you’ve never had a musical experience like this before!

A brand new dispatch from the Land Of Song™

Cwm Dancing returns to your speakers with a special late summer vibe-out. A moment to unwind from the intensity of the season, host and curator Dave Columbo Jenkins digs deep for the best musical escapism coming out of Welsh artists and Welsh labels  right now.

This month's episode features two super deep interviews. First up is Huw Marc Bennett who talks in depth about his influences, the importance of culture, the complexities of the Welsh identity and his beautiful new album Days Like Now.

Secondly we have the Running Man who guides us through the inspiring Beat Science event concept along with a sublime mix of incredible unsigned Welsh talent. And if that's not quite enough, Kaptin is back with his own hot picks, all influenced by his recent trip to NYC where he was present at the 50th anniversary of hip-hop this month. 

As always, it's a full-spectrum celebration of all Welsh electronic and beat-based music. There is so much wonderful music being made and released in this country!!
