 Afrobase
Afrobase plays tropical rhythms, afrojazzy re-works, and rare vinyl originals. This 2 hour afro-latin funk-friendly show plays imminent releases, solid gold tracks, and vinyl lost and found. Afro music maniacs and crate sifters John Warr (Ashanti) and Guy Morley (Yam Yam & Big Chill) formed AfroBase in 2002 to play out at clubs and gigs, and soon got together with Miles Cleret (Soundway Records). They created the radio show in early 2004 which has been available on Brighton’s Juice 107.2 and on totallyradio.com ever since. John continues to present the programme every week along with special guests.

 John Warr
Since the start of the 80s, John’s been playing African and Latin music in clubs and on radio. He formed Ashanti with Martin Sinnock (also on Totally Radio), and promoted the long standing weekly club The Salsa Party with friends. In 2002 he got together with Guy Morley (Yam Yam) to create AfroBase, and Miles Cleret (Soundway Records) soon joined them. With a never ending enthusiasm for collecting music from the African diaspora, John enjoys the meeting of musical cultures and styles unbound by expectations.
