Dubstar at 30: WEEK IN WEEK OUT Jesmond Demo
One of those happy accidents where the glue between the parts becomes the magic. A small moment in a chilly Tyneside flat. A future track six being quietly born

Dubstar at 30: WEEK IN WEEK OUT Jesmond Demo
Week In Week Out - the great Dubstar collage. A verse drafted in a different band, a chorus scribbled on the back of a school note book, a pinch of poetry, a beat from somewhere else, suddenly it worked.

DUBSTAR at 30: Disgraceful GDR demo
