A fan of rock, heavy metal and motorbikes from an early age, she fronted the Radio1 Rock Show and the experimental /
electronic Breezeblock on BBC Radio 1 for a number of years. In September 2006 the Breezeblock name was dropped for the
title ‘Experimental’, but the show retained the name of its host in the title. Most recently, Hobbs has been a notable champion of
the dubstep and grime genres; she released a dubstep compilation album on Planet Mu records entitled Warrior Dubz in October
2006, and curated a stage dedicated to the genres at the Sónar festival in 2007. « hide |
