John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

He then got involved with other projects such as The Hypnotist, Dub Collective and Rising High Collective.

Peel first played Pound's first project, A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd, on his radio shows in the early 90's and invited them to do a session for his show in 1991, where they recorded three tracks. He also played tracks from The Hypnotist, Dub Collective and Rising High Collective on his programmes as well, during the peak of the breakbeat music scene in the early 90's.
