Watch dubstep pioneer Mala explore the John Peel Archives in new video
Dubstep pioneer Mala - one half of Digital Mystikz - is the second figure in a series of six to share his Record Box, an exploration into the extensive archives of legendary DJ John Peel.
The mission behind the curators, all chosen by Peel's family and The John Peel Centre for their relevance to the new music champion, was that "They are invited to explore the collection and pick out a box of records, listen to them, talk about their memories or just respond to the music."
The Record Boxes includes online images of the file cards, liner notes and recordings of Peel's own records, in whatever condition they may be. It's about as close to the holy grail as we'll get.
You can watch a documentary of Mala's time in the archives, as he "takes a look through the history of Dubstep, Jungle and Drum ‘n Bass using high resolution images and recordings from John's own record collection."
