Tru Thoughts presents UnfoldShow Notes
“The Carnival Against Fascism took place in Brighton last week as 300 racists where out numbered by over 4000 people in Brighton promoting love, positivity and strength against hate. I was invited to DJ right next to the racists and to show how Brighton celebrates love and culture whilst standing strong against people visiting Brighton to cause trouble. The show has a DJ mix this week from me with the tunes I played in my set including Labi Siffre, The Specials, Mr Scruff, Roots Manuva, Disclosure & Dur-Dur Band, Flowdan, Sosyete ’25, Kuzco and more. There are a couple of tunes in this mix I did not play but wanted to rep. So there is Tom & Jerry & Trigga which shouts out lots of places in Brighton but I did not get time to play and the dubplate I actually played on the day I cannot play on radio or online. Plus a spin for Fatboy Slim, who DJ’ed after me and then went and stood with the people of Brighton on the streets after his set. Big up Norm. It was a day of many mixed emotions but overwhelmingly positive how we outnumbered the haters and the music is a celebration of different cultures.” Robert Luis
