A Natural Mystic - Inspired By Bob Marley

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

Champions of Yard-style music in England, STINGRAY RECORDS LONDON has been keeping UK reggae moving forward ever since the McLeod brothers founded the label in 1994. Their West London studio continues to record some of the biggest names in reggae music from Jamaica, the UK & further afield. 
For a full bio & info visit their website http://stingrayrecordslondon.com/about

Over 50 tracks here by an impressive array of artists. Strictly culture selections here - we don't venture into the extensive Stingray lovers rock catalogue at all this time: perhaps another show... 

 

Tuff riddim like the I Love King Selassie I, Free Up The Vibes, Rope In, Jah Love, Boops, Hypocrites, Craven Dog, Wolves & Leopards, Cuss Cuss, Peace & Love, Caution, the brutal Bloody City, Tamarind Juice, rootical updates of the Zion Pathway & None A Jah Jah Children plus the amazing Coxsone Dodd inspired Vampire.

This was my last session before I take a short break from broadcasting. We gotta move house this month so I need to focus all of my attention on that for a while (its a pain in the butt though its kind of exciting sametime). Looking forward to getting a new studio together and moving forward. Thanks as ever to all listeners and friends... Siamroots-ites, rastfm family, mixcloud reggae massive, twitter crew...BLESSUP

Siamrootsical Tribute To Garnett Silk

 Special Tribute To Garnett Silk

RastFM #LRM Show 63 10/11/2018

 Tribute to the Silky One, the Arch Angel of reggae music.
Garnett was a one-off. The originality & natrality of his vocals swiftly earned him huge success from 1990 as he teamed up with Anthony "Fire" Rochester & Tony Rebel to write a series of stunning, heavenly songs. One of my favorite artists ever since that time. Most of his biggest tunes are here together with combinations & cameos by nuff other artists.

His influence on the music going forward cannot be overstated. He Tony Rebel & Cocoa Tea flew the cultural flag throughout the dancehall era & their latter success encouraged a whole new generation of rasta artists, man like Buju, Capleton, Luciano, Sizzla, Morgan Heritage and many others, and brought new opportunities to older generations of roots artists. Together they turned the music scene around. Silk's sudden passing in 1994 was a massive shock as it felt like no sooner he'd come as he was taken away. He became an  instant legend which in turn lent the 'nu roots' movement even greater momentum...

Productions from JAMMYS, DIGITAL B, PENTHOUSE, BLACK SCORPIO, EL PASO, STAR TRAIL, TAXI, TAN-YAH, STEELY & CLEVIE, KARIANG, DERRICK MORGAN, ROOFTOP etc...
Also a short focus on his formative years (from the mid-80s) as deejay Little Bimbo and his initial outings as a singer, including work with Sugar Minott's Youth Promotion. Some killer dubplates from Killamanjaro Sound.

Continuous mix. 2hrs 22

DJ Herbal T presents... 90s Star Trail Mix

Star Trail Mix - selected by DJ Herbal T. The next helping from the Vineyard Sound selector, this one a tasty serving of Stuart Bell productions from the 1990s. Bell's Star Trail label put out some of the greatest conscious music of the time and were a leading part of the 'new roots' revolution by the end of 1993 alongside Digital B, Xterminator, Penthouse, JR and countless other labels. Best known for quality relicks of staple dancehall rhythms with a real roots feel Bell also released several great originals, the Burning Bush (Anthony B's revolutionary Fire Pon Rome) & the noble Lift Up Your Head (Everton Blender) being the most successful. He voiced a relatively small number of artists to great effect, Beres Hammond, Garnett Silk, Capleton, Sizzla & Everton Blender in particular, while deejay Anthony B made his name there.

Excursions on some vital riddim: Rumours, General, Full Up, Lift Up Your Head, Please Be True, Should Have Known, Smile, Sleng Teng, Talk About Love, Purify, Tempo, Electric, Callie, Love Me Forever and the kette drum style Burning Bush.

Continuous mix. 65 minutes.

I've added some extra Star Trail vinyl rips on the

Heavy Load, Burning Bush & Stalag to the rar file.
