thing is 1xtra ought to be the sister station though, hauling it out of its ghetto and positioning the station like that was its great success of recent years - and besides, the landscape has changed and blurred enough so the two's remit has grown closer anyway. (you could even argue 1xtra has had a direct role in shaping that). but a sister should have a vibrant life of her own and not be hostage to the brother the way it looks like it'll be now.
getting back to the subject of q, i just can't stress enough how much of a travesty it is him leaving and cameo getting to stay on as garage tsar. why is this the one time the old dj gets to stay on? there's nothing q can't do that cameo can - q is an exceptional grime dj on the sly and has all the contacts just the same (especially as grime booms outside of london), he is the hot thing in the clubs, he produces excellently and has the media coverage, and his sets include, encompass and reinvent every facet of ukg new and old. i could go on. it's just terrible.

did any of you ever actually listen to his show btw cos i never really got that impression
― r|t|c, Monday, 28 May 2012 18:00 (11 months ago) Permalink
i did, but not as much as i would have liked! it's frustrating because i don't listen to the radio at that time of night so "play again" was really the only way, but sitting at my desk is not the usual place i listen to music.. a self-expiring 7-day podcast would be ideal for shows like this but afaik that technology doesn't exist for that exactly

Since his departure from the station in 2007, Richie felt time was right for a change in direction. After doing so much for the UKG scene from it's inception, his focus turned to house, in particular the Jackin' Chicago styled house, which immediately appealed to his taste in feel good funky music. Playing music became a pleasure once again, with Richie being a weekly contributor to rising internet station Chicago House FM from 2008 - 2009.

I can not believe that DJ Q won't be on 1Xtra come September... Apart from DJ EZ's Friday night show on Kiss, there's no where else to get a full show of UK Garage! I know DJ Cameo is meant to be pushing UK Garage, but it seems like he's more interested in playing Hip Hop and Dutch House music? Anyone else noticed this?

I'm glad Q is basically just offering up his radio show set in condensed form! How awesome is that Ill Blu mix.
Rev a lot of his shows are now available for download on filestube etc. if you want more stuff along these lines.
In fact the ability to now download and listen to 1xtra shows at my leisure is revolutionising my life...
