2013

The first signal

On a Thursday night in November 2013 a signal left Guarda carrying ninety minutes of dub.

It was the start of a ritual, every Thursday, nine o’clock.

2014 – 2016

The weekly ritual

For three years Rewind It aired weekly shows, fifty-two Thursdays a year, every one of them numbered.

The first family formed around the signal: B.Riddim, DIOGO, Pedro Arruda, Dj Left, Techtouch.

2020 · LOCKDOWN

The world stops. The signal doesn’t.

When everything closed, Rewind It did the opposite. April 2020 became the loudest month in Rewind It history, a show going out every nine and a half hours.

And that July, quietly, the numbered era ended. The count had run for seven years. What came next had names instead of numbers.
