Links to Peel[]

Peel first started playing Wardrop's material when he formed his own record label. Many of the acts on the label were played by JP during the 90's and 00's and involved many of Wardrop's input in the production. One of the acts, Centry, did a session for Peel's show in 1994. He also played tracks from Wardrop's Jungle Neck project, where the musician experimented with jungle music.
