BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 18th January 2026
Tricky is a pioneer of British hip-hop and alternative music, blending dub, experimental and post-punk styles throughout his work. He is perhaps best known for his debut 1995 album Maxinquaye, widely regarded as a genre-defining record, as well as his work with vocalist Martina Topley-Bird. His reluctance to follow commercial trend truly sets him apart from his peers, and this is evident in the eclectic selections he makes for SHERELLE's Sweatbox mix.

MALA - THE SWEATBOX 19.10.25 (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 19th October 2025
In order to orderstand the sound and cultural movement of UK dubstep, one must understand Mala's place within it. As the co-founder of club night and label DMZ, as well as Deep MEDi - which remains one of dubstep's most esteemed labels - Mala has been nurturing and spotlighting talent in the dubstep, 140 and bass spectrum for over two decades. His own project alongside Coki, Digital Mystikz, is responsible for some of the scene's most iconic music.
Mary Anne Hobbs says that Mala 'is foundational in the dubstep scene. He's an artist who has stayed really true to the core foundation of that DMZ sound, and propagated it in every landscape across the globe, and continues to do so. He was also, in the early days, one of the artists who took a huge amount of responsibility for actually organising the scene. Who is going to put the club nights together? Do the fliers? Hire the rig? My understanding of sound system culture [...] was borne out of watching the way that Mala worked, the way that Mala would build a rig. I adore him - he's a beautiful, spiritual human being.'
This week, it's dubstep's godfather, Mala, taking over the Sweatbox.
