Paul Rootsical & Ras Dan-I - Midnight Session - November 2015

Paul Rootsical & Ras Dan-I - Midnight Session feat. Marius MC. 13 November 2015. 

Roots soundtape from Kaleidoscope session at the New Beehive Bradford.

Strictly roots set. Conscious mic from Bradford sound system veteran Dan-I & Marius MC. Rhythm track old and new like the Slavemaster (Volcano), Disobey (Rebelmadiaq) and the Ganja Morning (Green Lion) - an inventive relick of Desi Roots' classic Weedfields (also played here). Taxi Gang hit Baltimore also gets a dusting off as the Lion Inna Den (Iron Gate Sound). More excursions on the Rope In (Clive Hunt & Xterminator), I Know Myself + Praise Ye Jah (Xterminator), Jah Love/Warn the Nation (Prophet/Massive B), Truth & Rights (Studio1/Massive B), General Penitentiary (Penthouse/Sly&Robbie) and finishing up with the Twinkle Brothers' thunderous Faith Can Move Mountains + dub. 

It was a good night all round. More thanks to Dan-I, Marius, Spaceport7 and all the Kaleidoscope Crew. Roll on the next party on December 11th.

Phil Pratt All Stars - Reggae Showcase Super 1969-76

 Phil Pratt All Star Showcase
The best of Sunshot. Comprehensive selection of killers on the legendary Sunshot and Channan Jah labels. Draws on the influential producer's output during the early reggae era, the transition from melodious rocksteady to the more militant roots music. With the Sunshot Band (the future Revolutionaries) and Bobby Kalphat providing cutting edge rhythm tracks Pratt was able to call on the leading vocalists and deejays of the day but, like close contemporaries Lee Perry, Glen Brown, Sidney Crooks, Bunny Lee and Niney, wasn't afraid to experiment and give opportunity to lesser known artists. His sound is notable for enduring vocal quality over choppy, solid roots riddim. Of interest here is the emergence of  of the 'flying cymbals' drum sound. Good balance of singers, deejays and version. Great riddim like Strange Things, What About the Half, Black Magic Woman, Envious, Talk About Love, Artibella, Heart is Gone, Going the Wrong Way, etc...

 Continuous mix. Total 280 minutes. Repost...

Glen Brown - Godson Mixtape 1972-76

Glen Brown - Godson Mixtape 1972-76.
Exhaustive compilation of early 70s classics from the Rhythm Master, Glen Brown... Incredible leftfield & original proto-roots reggae. Working on a total shoestring, he used relatively few rhythm tracks, begging a likkle studio time whenever possible with amazing results. Excursions on the tuffest blueprint roots riddims: Slaving, Merry Up, Dirty Harry, Boat To Progress, Midnight In Moscow, One One Cocoa, Father's Call, Glen Brown At The Crossroads, Pantomine Rock, 2Wedden Skank, and more... Pantomine, Dwyer, Shalimar and High School International labels.

Turbulence - Higher Trod Mixtape 1998-2007

The first of two Turbulence roots and reality mixtapes, charting the gifted singjay's career from 1998 to 2007. Emerging out of Phillip Burrell's Xterminator camp circia 1997-98 in the wake of Sizzla and Luciano, et al, Turbulence suffered under-exposure right into 2004, despite the release of several albums. Breakthrough was at last achieved with the -hit Notorious. Hits like Got The Love (with Sasha) & X-Girlfriend followed in 2006-07. 

New roots and one drop riddims predominate here with forays onto the dancehall also. Nuff lyrics. Collaborating artists include: The Higher Trod Family, Lutan Fyah, LMS, Sasha, Anthony B, Bushman, Luciano, Chezidek, Tafari, Perfect and Digital Ancient. Features a lNotorious megamix. Label like Xterminator, Silly Walks, Tad's, etc etc.

Rudy Lee - Get Wise (Lion Den LP 1991)

Rudy Lee - Get Wise. I've ripped this hard to find UK digital dancehall vocal LP from 1991. 

The debut release on The Lion Den records is a tight & coherent set that definitely deserves a 2nd listen. Gussie Clarke & Dennis Star style rhythm tracks. Mainly reality songs, including a blast against the Poll Tax, with soundbwoy tunes and a couple of lovers selections..

I&I Never Get Weary 2015

I & I Never Get Weary

 

 

 

Its been a few months since I put a fresh mix out as I've been preoccupied with the Kaleidoscope nights, among other things. This one's built around my sets there last weekend when we failed to get a live recording on the night. A multi-era collection, mixing up old with new and nuff between... Starts with rootsy selections before moving onto more upbeat reggae-dancehall vibes later. Plenty version excursions & nuff big tune.

Vocal-deejay-dubwize

Juggling the Bucket Bottom (Fine Style/Freedom Sounds/Irie Ites) with a deadly new cut from Mark Wonder's fine new LP for Nowtime Sound. Penthouse come strong again with updates of  El Shaddai, Culture's Natty Never Get Weary, Miss Wire Waist (Impact/Penthouse) and Horace Andy's Every Tongue Shall Tell featuring a notable return to the mic stand for the Lone Ranger! Digital B does a ruff new relick of the Dub Organizer played here alongside older cuts on Digital B, Upsetter, Impact & Jammys. Other riddim like the Herb Family (More Life), Love Me Forever/Hit The Road Jack (Big Youth/Juggling/Star Trail), Chi Chi Bud (Joe Frazier), Doctors Darling/Night Nurse (Germaican/Island), Just Another Girl (Virgin/Impact) and Kayla Bliss' brand new single Red Hott mix up with the Alton Ellis original Can I Change My Mind (Coxsone/XTM Nation). 

We revisit three tunes here that always go down very well in the dance - World Go Round by King Mas, Love Yourself by Mr Vegas and Angola by Jah Bouks. We end up dropping them almost every time we play out.

Continuous mix 97 minutes 75 tracks

Donovan Germain & crew have hit top form once again especially after Exco Levi's astounding Country Man LP for them this year. Penthouse records have the best vibe right now & are thus heavily represented here. For that we make NO APOLOGY. Nuff respect to all.
