Dream FM: Tales from the Graveyard Shift

An article about the London pirate radio station Dream FM by Chris White aka DJ YT focusing on the fun 'n ' games of the midnight-to-morning shows on Fridays and Saturdays: 

"... Dream’s proceedings descended into anarchy, with an eight hour non-stop party....  'It was mostly made magical by the crazy listeners the station had. I couldn't wait for Saturday nights to get up to the studio, take part in the show and have a blast', recalls MC Herbs....  Groovevandal adds '... we'd do live calls, MC Herbs would do dodgy singing over speeded up honky tonk music mixed into drum & bass, rap battles between us all or just generally trying to put the DJ off by roasting him on the microphone.” The live callers added to the fun, 'people were just absolutely out there talking about the meaning of life and the best flavour ice lollies.' "


Plenty of Dream FM sets online but can't seem to find any of these prank-filled, phone-in nuttiness small hours sessions...

Unfortunately nobody uploaded the live calls mostly just half hour cuts of mixing.

Thanks for the link Simon. Hopefully some more of the tapes will surface in the future :)
