Dub’s boy wonder/nice chap next door, James Blake popped in to BBC Radio 1′s famous Maida Vale studios to perform tracks from his brilliant (and 10/10 rated by Best Fit) second album Overgrown.
He ran through the title-track, ‘Retrograde’, as well as Digital Mystikz’s ‘Anti War Dub’. He also told Zane how he bought his new record on the iPad and it “sounded alright”. How modest.
Watch the session and interview in full above.
