內容簡介
內容簡介 The 'Masterpiece' series is a concept fronted by artists and DJs of the highest calibre. It's an opportunity for these pioneering acts to curate a three disc musical journey that depicts their own influences and inspirations which they can share with their fans. With predecessors including Andrew Weatherall, Fabio & Grooverider and Giles Peterson, the level of reputation and irrefutable standing of acts selected for 'Masterpiece' in the past is a given.David Rodigan, master of reggae, has been on the scene for over 30 years and counting. With an MBE and a host of prestigious accolades under his belt, he is the perfect talent to front the next album in the prized 'Masterpiece' series from Ministry of Sound.His unsinkable passion for reggae music and his world renowned talent for triumph in sound clashes against the likes of Barry G, Jamaica’s champion DJ, led to his victory when he took the Champion Trophy at the World Clash Reset in New York.

In 2012 he was awarded the MBE for ‘service to broadcasting'.As one of few DJs to have influenced and inspired the masses for over three generations, David has adapted like no other DJ of his calibre has managed to.
