Blazing Burning Flame - Lovers Rock Hits

Wha the World Gone To... Strictly conscious, positive vibes from St. Andrews rootsman Richie Spice 1998-2008. His first hit, Earth A Run Red on the Sweet River Rock (1998), took a few years to register. Its sunny melodies and solid rootsiness kinda worked its way into the consciousness, eventually being recognised as a sufferers classic with its apocalyptic world visions from the street. This essential theme is returned to with strings of tunes over the years... One of the top conscious artists of the 00s.

Na na na na na na naaa!

BIG riddim like the Jah Love, Truth & Rights, World Jam, Sweet River Rock, Giddimani, Passion, Righteous Youths, First Born, Real Rock, None A Jah Jah Children, 5th Element, Ali Baba, Save The World, Rub-A-Dub, Automatic, Its Raining...

We took our fair trade festival stall all round the UK for many years and so I originally made many of the early mixtapes to play at festivals & on the road. When I went on to start the blog in 2009 streaming hadn't yet taken off and so mixes were strictly for download had to be under 80mins to fit on cd. The shackles have long since come off with streaming and new technology so the mixes just got longer and longer...

Selections here were distilled from 2 original mixes -
Smooth Ride & Joy & Sorrow Showcase

Excursions on the January Morning (Free Willy), Love Potion & Drop Leaf (Don Carleon), Hard Times (Gibbo), Kemar McGregor's vibsy Drop It (No Doubt), Let Go (Rootsdown), Heavenly (Don Carleon), No Combo/Breakfast In Bed (Nicetime), Real Rock (Xterminator) and Fresh Ear's Guardian Angel

 

Some great tracks by German-SA singer Joy Denalane.

Morgan Heritage 20 Year Tribute Mix

Morgan Heritage 20

Celebrating two decades of amazing music from the grammy award winners. Ever since their breakthrough hits for Bobby Digital in 1996 a new single or album release has always been a much anticipated event and when the Heritage roadshow come to town its just pure fyah... Troddin' in their late father Denroy's footsteps Heritage favour an uptempo, rootsy sound and are at their best doing tuff reality songs and inspiring spirituals. The band's grammy this year for the Strictly Roots album was long overdue and is seen as a 'lifetime achievement'' award. Its great to see them finally get the recognition they've so long deserved.

With such an extensive and essential back catalogue to choose from and too little space here, focus is more on singles and collaborations than on album tracks. Productions from, among others, Digital B, Jammys, Xterminator,  Flava Mcgregor, Kickin, Penthouse,  Massive B, Fat Eyes, Richie Stephens, Oneness, Jukeboxx, Don Carleon, Denroy Morgan and Heritage's own 71 Records, HMG and GTBC (Good To Be Conscious). Alternative versions by Cocoa Tea, Chezidek, Sizzla, Shabba Ranks, I-Wayne, Capleton, Anthony B, King Kong, Richie Spice, Beenie Man, Ras Shiloh, Bushman, the Marleys and Military Man. 

Continuous mix. Two hours. 66 tracks.
