JAMMING BY A THREAD is the only podcast series featuring the finest DJ tag-team selectors. US-based British cratedigging master DJ and former Ninja Tune producer/recording artist BEN ALLEN (aka the Loop Professor) and Aussie music junkie, DJ and worldwide music festival producer STUART ROGERS play tag with tracks via their mobile devices, creating a monthly exchange of deep sounds. Based on a theme (or Not!), expect a mind-blowing "broader than broadway" selection of inspired funk, soul, reggae, dub, latin, hip-hop, jazz, rock, freestyle, fusion and whatever other audio bombs they are throwing at each other to create episodes that are masterclass deejay sessions in their own right!
Check out Ben's bi-weekly two-hour radio show of deep soul, funk, blues and R&B on the long-running Saturday night "Soul Mates" program on WMPG FM in Portland, Maine and anytime on wmpg.org
And when Stu isn't listening to his massive and eclectic vinyl collection, he is busy as the Director of Programming at the prestigious City Recital Hall in Sydney.
