Is the term World Music redundant? Should we call it something else? Should we have a heated debate? The term was allegedly coined approximately 20 years ago by super star DJ/broadcaster/ throughly nice guy Charlie Gillett (RIP) as a way of defining music that was essentially not Western Rock & Pop.

But now that all popular music has been properly blended and enhanced as a result of the internet...and definitely not diluted in my humble opinion... is it time to re categorize? Answers on a postcard.
Meanwhile, we tuck into some tasty slabs of new and old music, with a vague reggae thread flowing through proceedings. And a tough mix edit from SMS 2011 DJ Paul Pre. Sun is shining after all...
