Also features Gyptian, Lloyd Brown, Spanner Banner, Peter Morgan, Conkarah, Bunny Rugs, Mikey Spice, Roger Robin, Duane Stephenson, Mitch, Maxi Priest, Courtney John, Determine, JC Lodge, Junior Kelly, Sanchez, Beenie Man and Twin of Twins

Another mixed selection. Some brand new releases rub shoulders with more familiar tracks. Less riddim focused than usual. We start with some Third World style funky reggae, including Prisoner In The Street. Tuff new combination by Anthony B & Lutan Fyah and a heartfelt new song by vereran singer Jay Douglas who teams up with the legendary General Trees!

I had prepared a selection of Apple Gabriel lead & solo tracks to play on this session. Its a tale of tribulation.. But when I heard about Bob Andy & Delroy Washingon I quickly reached for some of their songs too. Andy's Wake Up Everybody resonates strongly in this time. Their music will be cherished for years to come...
Rise In Power!

What A Boderation!

Don't let self-isolation and social-distancing leave you in the cold. Put plenty of good music on, turn it up and watch Babylon reeling...

We took our fair trade festival stall all round the UK for many years and so I originally made many of the early mixtapes to play at festivals & on the road.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.

Straight to the bwoy Mr Whitti's head... 

It has long come to my attention that the man has been higgling my mixes out on ebay, including rastfm shows. I let it go until recently when people have begun assuming that its me selling them, including a well-known reggae group that I've long had good links with. While there ain't much I can do to stop it, I can't allow my name & that of this site and rastfm besmirched by such blatent plagiarism and have sent loud disclaimers out though all the channels.. 
Too gravalicious!

Just to reiterate... I made the decision years ago not to commercialise this site or any of my other musical adventures and so we come to you totally ad-free. So my works will stay STRICTLY FOR THE LOVE OF THE MUSIC & 100% non-commercial. All Siamrootsical mixtapes are easily located on Google for free so don't go buying them!
