Rave Forever 90s: With Julia Toppin

Nick chats to Julia Toppin about women in jungle as part of The Music Is Black season.

Nick chats to Julia Toppin about women in Jungle as part of The Music Is Black season. Julia Thee Junglist Historian aka Miss Toppin is a Senior Lecturer in Media, Music, and Enterprise in the College of Creative Arts and Technologies at the University of Westminster.

Plus, our resident film and TV critic Rhianna Dhillon shares her recommendations for what to watch this weekend. And as always, Nick has the Cloudbusting mix - an hour of uplifting tunes to banish the grey skies - and today it's all about the 90s.

Every Friday throughout August, 6 Music is taking a decade-by-decade journey from the 80s to the 2010s, celebrating Black British music scenes and sound system culture, featuring the absolute pioneers of UK dance music.

This show has been produced as part of the BBC's celebration of The Music is Black, a collaboration with V&A East Museum.
