10.24.13 - Strictly Jammy's

LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM



































Strictly Jammy's selections for you this show, as I am a big fan. I start out with some early Prince Jammy dub alongside King Tubby, then move into some of my favorite roots then dancehall. Happy Earthstrong out to him, October 26th. Check the playlist and the archive above.

10.17.13 - Peter Tosh and Joe Gibbs Special

LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM








































Musical legends Peter Tosh (10.19.44 - 09.11.87) and Joe Gibbs (10.14.42 - 02.22.08) share the same birth week as well as some essential reggae productions. This show is dedicated to both of them, and weaves in and out of some of their classic songs as well as some that they worked on together. May they both rest in power.

10.10.13 - Roots, Sizzla and more

LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM






















I was going to be joined on this show by Nyabinghi, a Conscious Reggae selector out of Trinidad who unfortunately did not make it to the studio. In preparing for the show I ended up pulling some roots and a lot of Sizzla that I hadn't played in a while and put them in my record bag. I hadn't quite planned on playing some of the more well-known ones but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. They are still great songs. Much respect as always to the artists.

10.03.13 - White Mice, early Dancehall and Rub A Dub

LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM


























I was in the mood to play some of my favorite 80s and 90s dancehall and Rub a Dub (maybe some very late 70s?) for you this show, beginning with the Shank I Sheck riddim. Then to celebrate the birthday of reggae artist White Mice, the set is inspired by and layered with some of his top tunes.

You can check the archive and playlist (that I try to type as thoroughly as I can while djing) above. Enjoy.
