Maybe you don't know her, maybe you do. Even if you think you don't, if you're reading this site and digging this music, you've felt her influence in the slew of amazing artists she's championed over the years. She's known on air and online as call the Real Queen of England. She's the most influential women in bass music, and she's pretty much solely responsible for making dubstep, wonky, bleepy, bass heavy sounds as hot as they are on the global scene right now.

From her shows in the early '00s on Radio 1's Breezeblock, to her tenure as the genre-defining host of BBC 1 Experimental, Ms. Hobbs has discovered, fostered, nurtured, appreciated, and straight blown up more artists than most of us will meet or see perform in our lifetimes, including Sepalcure!

And now she's moving on. In a press release issued at the end of July, she announced her imminent departure from BBC 1.

For the last 6 weeks of her tenure, Ms. Hobbs is gracing us with exclusive mixes from some of her favorite artists. The series kicked off with Ramadanman; last week saw Skream taking the decks; and tonight, the mighty Joker drops a set of purple HEAT!

Skream

Ramadanman

JOKER!

Thanks Mary Anne! Wherever you end up, we'll be listening...
