about

The ground-breaking Radio Ballads series - created by Charles Parker, Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger for the BBC in the 1950s and 1960s - were masterpieces of broadcasting. Broadcaster takes these voices from the past and, with a nod to Fatboy Slim and Moby, turns them into something moving, haunting and very addictive.

Former Radio 1 Record of the Week: "If we’re doing out jobs right as the nation’s greatest, you should be hearing that in a lot of places- very special indeed!"

Ministry of Sound: "It’s right up our street."

Gillian Anderson – The Daily Telegraph:
Anyone who doubts the poetic power of ordinary people’s speech, should hear a revolutionary new use of it, in Primary Transmission …. mixing samples into powerhouse dance beats. It’s an unlikely marriage – but I think it’s brilliant."

Rock n Reel: "It’s an unlikely juxtaposition, but it works beautifully and could become the unlikeliest dance hit of the year."
