Listen to our latest radio show with special guests First Word Records

An hour with South London soul and hip-hop label First Word.

While we do our best to keep on top of all the new releases and reissues in our weekly top new records list, sometimes you just need a little more space to let the music breathe. Continuing our monthly residency at Soho Radio, you can listen to the show in full below.

As well as playing through a stack of new releases (including one or two exclusive premieres), we were joined by the man behind First Word records Aly Gillani to play through a downbeat selection of gorgeous new music from the likes of Tall Black Guy, Eric Lau and Bastien Keb.
