This week we start with Rockabilly and journey through some of the raw lo-tech garage sound, psychedelic psychobilly, and goth rock that made crude lo-fi and electronic grunge sound popularƒ. A sound that eventually united with early London dub to produce the raw grinding sounds of the electronic dub. 

an odd journey starting with Elvisƒ.
