Mastermix.org- original UK pirate material

For the latest edition of the Wire magazine, I did this web exclusive about a great website called mastermix.org which posts broadcasts from UK pirate stations in the mid 80's which include prime, rare, early rap mixes, all there online waiting for you to peruse it.

"In this digital age when any dilettante can show off their music taste online, the whole idea of ‘pirate radio’ seems like a ridiculous 20th century anachronism. But for millions of people in the pre-Net era, these unlicensed stations were lifeblood, doling out vital music that mainstream terrestrial broadcasts ignored and snubbed."
