What was it like growing up in Brixton, and where did the name Jumping Jack Frost come from?
Nigel ThompsonGUEST
When I was growing up, I was a little told, if you looked at me wrong, I'd have a fight.
Nigel ThompsonGUEST
Say the wrong thing, fight.
Dodge WoodallHOST
Absolutely.

What was it like growing up in Brixton and where did the name Jumping Jack Frost come from?
Nigel ThompsonGUEST
Well, growing up in Brixton in the 70s was crazy.
Nigel ThompsonGUEST
For me, because you don't know anything else, do you? So for me, it was just vibrant, colourful, very loud, very engaging culturally, do you know what I mean? Because I grew up in a West Indian environment, reggae music, jazz, soul, a lot of shouting, a lot of fights, a lot of people just having it, do you know what I mean? But it was very joyful, do you know what I mean? We never had much money growing up.
Gabe SzatanHOST
Definitely in particular, Deidre reminded me a lot of LFO, the stuff that came out in 1991.
Gabe SzatanHOST
It actually reflected something that you said on a recent documentary that you released for Jumping Jack Frost, Leviticus.
Gabe SzatanHOST
Yes.
Gabe SzatanHOST
Well, you essentially said, like, you can't redo the first generation.
SherelleGUEST
and our own time together when doing back-to-backs, being at Represent Radio has led for us to be in that position where we, you know, with Hoover, we just want it to be something that people can reach for all of our discography and they know they're always getting some sort of like weird crazy banger in a set that just yeah it is for the drop it isn't per se to be dropped in quickly but it's something that you can definitely use as a signifier signature tune basically
Gabe SzatanHOST

Gabe SzatanHOST
They got to be the first.
Gabe SzatanHOST
But what we get to do is our own thing, extend what they did, build on top of it and take it forward in a new way.
