"From the station's launch in summer 2002 to summer 2004 I was one of two Hip Hop mix show DJs on the BBC's station for 'new black music', 1Xtra. This month marks the station's 20th Anniversary, so I've embraced the embarrassment of my 1Xtra press photo and picked a selection of mixes I did on the station during that period to upload here on Mixcloud for the first time. They're definitely from a different era - recorded live, vinyl only, two channel mixer, no effects and with that comes a certain amount of imperfection I wouldn't stand by today, but they represent the time well and in some cases the music I was playing in clubs at the time. Full disclosure - I have given most of these mixes a light edit, cutting out a few sections I didn't like, but for the most part they're as they come. More of these mixes every week for a limited period!" - courtesy of Chris Read
