Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009 running time 08:54
The influential host of BBC Radio 1's Experimental Show makes a whirlwind pilgrimage to check out the LA and San Francisco music scenes.
Music obsessive Mary Anne Hobbs has the power to make and break emerging artists on her influential BBC Radio 1 show. So when she takes a profound interest in a new music scene, you know it's something special. Lately, she's been so tapped into the what she calls West Coast Rocks - LA and San Francisco bass-heavy producers such as Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Lazer Sword, Ghosts on Tape, Samiyam and Gaslamp Killer (just to name a few) - that she made a special pilgrimage to see it with her own eyes. Here, she discusses the impact this scene has had not only on her, but on music globally.

sweet deal. i love listening to MAH's show, BBC Experimental. Championing the dubstep sound. :) She's really passionate about different artists and i love how she tries to convey her emotions. It's difficult with music. The first track in the interview btw is Joker - Digidesign. Anybody heading down for WMC? Benga v Skream @ the old Laundry Bar. I just can't wait!
