LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM

It was an honor and pleasure to have Cat Coore of Third World in the studio with me for my second-to-last-show on East Village Radio. He was in town promoting "Under The Magic Sun", set to be released this June 10th, 2014. It's a beautiful compilation of some favorite cover songs as well as updated versions of a few Third World classics, available online as mp3 and even vinyl! Also, apparently Cat is as crazy about hot sauce as I am so keep an eye out for some culinary hotness coming from him soon. Check the archive for the album preview and interview!

Winston Riley

Not my first Techniques tribute and certainly not my last. The Techniques gave me my DJ moniker (via Curtis Mayfield) and Winston Riley's Techniques label have given us all such killer reggae classics that they deserve to be lauded at every opportunity. Rest in power to the great Winston Riley, I had the honor of meeting him at his shop in Jamaica and he was so gentle and gracious. He even let me go through some 45 archives in the back of the store, and I will never forget that.
