FOR OVER 40 YEARS DAVID RODIGAN HAS BEEN THE TOP DOG IN THE GANJA-SCENTED, BASS HEAVY-ATMOSPHERE OF BRITAIN’S REGGAE DANCE-HALLS. THE KEY TO HIS SUCCESS HAS BEEN AN UNSINKABLE PASSION FOR REGGAE MUSIC, WHICH FIRST TOOK A HOLD OF HIM AS A SCHOOLBOY WHEN HE HEARD SKA MUSIC IN THE EARLY ’60S. HE DEVELOPED AN OBSESSION WITH THE MUSIC OF JAMAICA THAT GENERATED AN ENCYCLOPAEDIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISLAND’S EVERY ARTIST, EVERY SONG AND EVERY RHYTHM TRACK.
