Search - Daddy G :: DJ Kicks

Some DJs get their kicks by dropping the most obscure tunes they can find. Others take pleasure in kicking back with friends and digging out timeless favorites. Daddy G, also known as Grant Marshall, belongs to the latter school. "These," he says of the components of this mix, "are the records that are always in my box." Although he?s best known for comprising one half of Massive Attack, Daddy G has been DJing ever since he started making mixes on a cassette recorder at the age of ten. Reggae records filtered through via his older sister's DJ boyfriend. And his devotion to a good bassline grew out of his mid-teen experience of Jamaican sound systems. From around 1982, he ran the Dugout club in St. Paul?s, part of the unique Bristol scene where reggae and funk collided with post-punk - and eventually produced trip hop.
