Melodic Distraction

Description
Richie Vegas cut his DJing teeth in his late teens - messing about with hip hop and breaks - before plundering his family’s record collections and forging a sound that includes soul, funk, jazz, afrobeat and reggae.
An integral member of the Jiggery Pokery collective running eclectic hip hop nights in Liverpool and beyond - Rich’s distinctive style has found him playing countless gigs over the intervening 15 years.
Test Match Special is an opportunity to showcase a selection of tunes that doesn't quite fit with live DJ sets, explore less-travelled paths and distill over 20 years of musical musings. Expect lost monsters, obscure reworkings, stubborn earworms and wickets galore.
After a brief period back in the country game, Richie makes a welcome return to the Test arena for a fine session of the choicest cuts. In the words of the immortal Richie Benaud - Marvellous!
