Memorable cuts from Sizzla, Capleton & Anthony B. The Abyssinians chip in too with a Determine combination and also The Right Satta on their own Clitch label (1993). Early outings for debutants Norris Man, Morgan Heritage and dub poet DYCR.

Mystical Heathen - Roots N Culture Mixtape 1997

Mystical Heathen
There's a natural mystic blowing through 
the air... heathen back deh
The mid-90s 'nu roots revolution' evolved as producers & artists, having licked over vintage dancehall beats to saturation, looked again to 70s roots for fresh I-speration. This 'rediscovery' was expressed both in the rhythm tracks & lyrically






Starts & ends with Bob Marley's Natural Mystic & Heathen along with the Chalawa dub versions and then a few Bobby Digital tracks in remembrance. 
Rest in power King Bobby


Riddim like Digital B's Cuss Cuss & Mr Bassie, I Can't Stand It (Xterminator), Natural Mystic (Ffrench, Shocking Vibes, Digital B, Kronic), African Beat (Fat Eyes), more cuts of Don't Try To Use Me (Digital Eclipse), Star Trail's Preacherman, and the awesome Heathen (Digital B, X-Rated & Penthouse). Other productions from Harmony House, African Star, How Yu Fi Say Dat and Tappa Zukie



Continuous mix. 79 minutes. Relist
