Mary Anne Hobbs: West Coast Rocks

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.
