On tonight's Heatwave show on Rinse FM (1-3am), I'll be joined by peerless badman MC Riko Dan. Riko will be dropping his distinctive Cockney/Yardie flow over all manner of riddims, from foundation dancehall and up to the time bashment to UK funky and even classic jungle.

In the meantime, you can hear the English dancehall special I did on our last Rinse show a couple of weeks back. The show happened to fall on St George's Day, which is often associated with somewhat old fashioned, even racist ideas about what it means to be English.

So I thought it'd be nice to celebrate an alternative, more multicultural Englishness by featuring music from the likes of Tippa Irie, YT, Maxwell D, Gappy Ranks and of course, Riko himself:
