Roots inna Modern Time

Who says we can't stay true to the roots in this day in age? Always good to hear a positive message and nice vibes in modern music...take note, folks. This is how the pros do it.

Tarrus Riley - Wildfire

Duane Stephenson - Cottage in Negril

Protoje

just got hipped to this new talent outta yard....quality. digging these sounds especially. more posts on the young new school of reggae artists soon come.

 

set the mood

Must big up Selector Jonathan and 89.1 WIDR out of Western Michigan University...this lil Kalamazoo radio show has been keeping me right. Check 'em out on The Archive....be sure to check the 3/8/11 show for amazing modern roots and lovers rock (Duane Stephenson, Tarrus Riley, Buju, etc etc...) and the 4/19/11 show for classic crucial roots into crazy world dub...these guys are doing it right.

hiatus

Dipped out for a minute...been good busy times, finally seeing some sun & soaking it up, reconnecting with old friends, living & loving life. In brief just posting up some sounds that have been doing it for me lately. More to come.

Caught Blessed Coast Sound between sets at Jahdan Blakkamoore & Prezident Brown's show a few weeks back at the Mt Tabor Theater here in Portland...huge sound. Reggae, dubstep, dancehall...these guys are crushing it. Huge amount of mixes on their site, I recommend checking out the Day & Night Summer Mix, and the Sound the Horns Dubstep Mix. Filthy.

yeah the kid with the laser-beam vocals....managed to sleep on Hidden Darts up until now, got exposed to it through his cut of No, No, No on some reggae mix or other...point is the shit is fire, so go get it. Tony Starks, nahmean >> Hidden Darts Special Edition

Scratch

This has a lot of potential...roast fish roots cornbread makka! Hope we get treated to some good footage/acid-fueled ranting and raving from Lee Scratch Perry, in many ways the father of dub and reggae music. And also a crazy person.
