Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio1 – L.A. Volcano Refugee Special
As many of you have heard, the BBC’s own Mary Anne Hobbs has been stuck in the US ever since the volcanic eruption in Iceland disrupted air travel in and out of Western Europe. Since she was unable to be back in the UK to broadcast her weekly radio show, she decided to a special remote broadcast episode of her radio show this past week from the Pure Filth Studios. Featuring some of LA’s most hotly-tipped producers and DJs currently making the rounds, this episode of her Experimental show is not one to miss! It features the likes of Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Ras G, Take, Tokimonsta, and more!
You can stream the archive directly from the BBC website by clicking here. We’ve gotten our hands on the archive from Mary Anne herself, which we’ve archived for your convenience. You can download the episode using the links right here:

We’ve cut together the highlights from both nights and put them up on YouTube for all the world to see how SoCal gets down to the Pure Filth Soundsystem. Enjoy!
