Soundclash Radio in 2006
As ever, our show archive is available 24/7 from the Clash Player. Plus on Wednesday night, we broadcast live in CD-quality audio straight from vinyl!

This year will be exciting times for all of us here. Maximum unity and diversity in styles and attitudes. Boss selectors, Top-class producers and Singjays will be our guest along-side less established selectors we respect.

But for January, no guest as yet, except on the 25th when Rubadub from the JAHsound.net website will join us. In February, we have the Dub Student (Dub Terror records, Heartical crew), Julian Fairshare and Digi Dub (Fairshare Unity Sound). There'll be even more champion sound bwoys in March!! HOLD TIGHT!

To listen live, simply log-on to www.soundclash.org Wednesdays 9-11pm
