Stories about London, Culture & Creativity

This weeks interview is with Britain’s very own TY, a musician from Brixton. I found TY’s music early on in moving to Brighton, I was in HMV on western rd. with my best mate Nick and we heard some amazing sounds over the stores speakers, I asked what it was and copped the vinyl straight away. It became one of the larger parts of the soundtrack for that time in my life and it was also one of the first UK Hip Hop albums I bought a culture that would become incredibly important to me over the following years, not a bad intro huh Amazing to have him round, a real pleasure. Enjoy!

This week’s chat is with Ed Tizer. Ed is a London culture animal and you’ve probably seen him everywhere at everything, I met him in 96’ on the 31 bus route when he asked if I wrote.. we’ve been mates ever since. Ed brings us to America and fills us in on his early years there with his brother and moving to Brixton in South London where he grew up. He tells us about travelling about the city in the 80’s and 90’s and what led him into culture. He’s had a long and varied career in the UK underground scene and we get loads of the story. Big Up Ed!
