Mark Professor - Oystah Card - out now!

Mark Professor - DJ, MC and long-time friend of the London Dossier - has just released his debut 45rpm single to rave reviews. Produced by Wrongtom and released on the Rongorock record label, "Oystah Card" is Professor's cleverly-worded ode to London's public transportation system and its ubiquitous plastic Oyster travel card.

You can buy "Oystah Card" on 7 inch vinyl from all good record shops, including Rough Trade who seem to have the lowest price.
