On my show this month:
With the sounds of the world cup stadia coming at us like 40000 people having all had a curry with onion stuffing on the side the day before you'll find my July show a vuvuzela free zone.
But what can you expect?
Warrior One has given Jimmy Cliff one hundred lines and D-Code & Chan 1 have headed to the 'specialist' end of the Sky channels. Ruth Bellamy is glad ... about what? My show not sounding like a 40000 strong collective fart?
Reverend Deadeye has a bone to pick with Jesus ... did they dine together at KFC? We have Vice La Vice doing the limbo and Archie Bronson Outfit on a hoola tip. There is a really fab session from Gideon Conn and a featured mash up album with Mos Def all over it called Mos Dub. I'd Mos Appreciate you 'avin' a listen :-)

On the show NEXT month:
It's August, the month of my birth. So, while I will be contemplating how I've gone 36 years without having eaten a Mars Bar you will, hopefully, be tucking into my show ...
... and what have we got? Jay Robinson causes the Clangers to get jiggy with it in a dubstep stylee and Stornoway are nicking ideas off big cheeses. My Name Is Ian is thinking what we all think after failing A Level General Studies and Przasnik is holding the bank holiday traffic up but not in a very Polish fashion I can tell you.
$tush is wanting a night out at Belper's premiere discotheque by the sounds of it and Bambi & The Tin Man have nicked the first Mars Bar I was ever going to eat, the scoundrels ... There's a great featured album from Swede:art and also a brilliant session mix from Scottish dubstepper Tactus. Cooler than a Curly Wurly Shake Out* :-)
*There are other quality milkshake establishments ...

Biography:
I got into DJ-ing after I became disillusioned with my previous job. It involved doing tests on monkeys and I resigned after Chong failed his GCSE woodwork re-sit. Well….maybe not….

Music has been a big part of my life since I was a littlun. As a teenager I was kinda blinkered in my tastes, liking what I wanted to like. If you’ve heard MJ Hibbert’s song “The Lesson Of The Smiths”, yep, that was me….just a little bit.

A bit older and wiser I slowly started to learn “The Lesson” and then…..I became ill….and d’ya know what, one of the symptoms of my illness was acutely hypersensitive ears….bugger, no music….it didn’t last just a few weeks neither. Recovering, I had a lot of time on my hands and started to listen to John Peel, something I’d done in the past but this time, it was SERIOUS. I never missed a second. John broadened my musical taste in a way no one else could have. He fuelled my passion for music, which had already significantly increased after been starved of music due to my illness. He fuelled it more and more and more with every show.

Since John’s death I seem to have increased the amount of music I listen to, further. It just seemed logical to do something with all the music I was buying so I purchased a (very!) cheap CDJ machine. This lead to me starting Rhubarb Radio on Live 365 in May 2007. I play a selection from genres like: Dubstep, Indie/Alternative, Hip Hop, Grime, Techno, Electronica, Punk, World Music, Desi Beats, Dancehall, Reggae, Drum & Bass and anything else that sounds interesting/different/entertaining/surprising and just downright good!!

Shortly after beginning Rhubarb Radio I sent a demo show to Dandelion Radio and here I am, typing my mini-biography as a Dandelion Radio DJ.

Thank you Dandelion

Other interests? Well, I dabbled in stand-up comedy in my final year of university. I did about ten gigs but stopped to join a dodgy indie band, the third of three bands I have been in. We scaled the heights of No.22 in the Melody Maker Indie Charts before splitting up in real rock ‘n’ roll fashion…..sitting having coffee in a Art House cinema’s cafe! Please send demos (in absolutely ANY genre of music) to: Mark Cunliffe c/o Dandelion Radio PO BOX 54918 London W3 6ZS United Kingdom
