The Rebel Dread, ‘still a work-in-progress’: Don Letts in conversation

This interview features black British film director, disc jockey and musician Don Letts, conducted in person in January 2026 after an extended DJ set he did at Hot Box in Chelmsford, Essex, England. The conversation addresses the current political moment in the United Kingdom and resonances with the early roots of post-punk given the climate of fascistic white nationalism, and his take on counterculture and music today.
