02.06.14 - Marley Family Tribute
LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM
This year the show fell directly on Bob Marley's birthday and the show is filled with his music. We also got a chance to talk to his beautiful daughter's Karen and Cedella on the phone. Normally in Los Angeles, Karen was in NYC to celebrate the opening of her sister's musical "Three Little Birds" based on their father's famous song. You can check out Karen's lovely store and support the recycling of vintage clothing at Button and Bows LA. I had talked to Karen earlier that day and made sure I had some of her favorite Bob Marley songs on hand. Nuff respect.

01.23.14 - Channel One Sound LIVE in the studio
LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE HERE
CHECK THE PLAYLIST HERE
Channel One Sound System has spent the past 30 years solidifying their reputation as one of world’s heaviest hitting roots reggae sounds. Selector Mikey Dread grew up in the sound system business and christened the sound as CHANNEL ONE, in homage to the famous Jamaican Label of the same name. Over the past three decades, Channel One has been instrumental in the preservation and development of Sound System culture in the UK, inspiring an entire new generation of sound systems while influencing the evolution of some of its descendants such as dubstep and jungle among others. Their yearly Notting Hill Carnival appearance has become an institution and they have taken the UK Red Bull Culture Clash crown among others. They also have taken their positive message throughout the UK, Europe, and South America and for the first time this January 2014 to the USA.
