After more than a year of exchanging music, inspired by Desert Island Discs (BBC radio4), David Riley joined me in the studio with a selection of records that have stayed with him over the years, shaping his musical journey.
Moving through Jamaican music, jazz, Brazilian sounds, soul, hip-hop and a few other rarieties 🙂
