EDIT: Catch Shan’s two hour Hip Hop mastermix from Friday 11th August on demand right….HERE!

Friday August 11, 2023 is the 50th anniversary to the day of the now legendary summer party in the Bronx where an 18-year-old DJ Kool Herc played his sister’s back-to-school fundraiser in the rec room of their apartment building, an event now recognised as the spark which ignited hip hop music and culture.

2SER Breakfast kicked off the the day by interviewing several key figures who brought hip hop to the airwaves via community radio.

DJ Shan has over thirty years of experience in bringing hip hop music to the masses via community radio. His Groove Therapy radio show and podcast (now well into its third decade) is a jewel in the crown of 2SER, broadcasting at midday on Friday. You know he’s got something special to celebrate the day as well as news on various projects he has on the go to keep the culture vibrant and vital.
