As part of Radio 1's recently launched Dance Presents show, DJ Mag celebrated six of our favourite UK DJs over five weekends, from breakthrough stars to indisputable icons, all of whom continue to push the nation's vibrant and diverse club scene forward, even while dancefloors are off limits. 

Kode9 has shared rare footage from BBC 1 Dubstep Warz in 2006.

Earlier this month, Mary Anne Hobbs marked the 15th anniversary of her seminal BBC Radio 1 Dubstep Warz broadcast with a special show on BBC 6 Music, Dubstep Warz at 15.

Now, Hyperdub's Kode9 has shared archive video footage from the recording of the show, featuring Hobbs herself, Deep Medi Muzik boss Mala, late poet and MC, The Spaceape, Benga and The Bug. There's also appearences from Skream, Loefah, Sgt. Pokes, Hatcha, and Crazy D. 

SOPHIE, Mala and British Murder Boys are among the first names announced to play RE—TEXTURED 2020.

Exploring the relationship between modern and industrial architecture, experimental music and visual arts in London, the festival's second annual outing will return across venues including BFI, Tobacco Dock, Southbank Centre, Oval Space, E1 London and Village Underground between 2nd-5th April. 

Mala has relaunched his label I&I Music, with the first new material taking the form of 'Word & Sound'—  reference to the Rastafari concept of "word-sound-power" and music's ability to change the world for the better.

A collaborative EP, the work sees the Deep Medi Musik boss join forces with Natty and Benjamin Zephaniah, with the combined efforts producing a track that is about promoting "positivity and connection".
