Here’s another podcast/free download from Federation Sound outta NYC. #186 features the latest riddims and chunes from major artists like Aidonia, Leftside & Shaggy, Gappy Ranks, Mavado, and Vybez Kartel. They put these mixes together faster than I can repost them, which doesn’t make any sense at all, really.
Been meaning to post this chune from Protoje on The Message riddim for a while now. It’s another great Don Corleone production, and I think I read somewhere that he did this for Black History month so I’ve posted it just in time or quite late, depending if you are a cup-half-full or cup-half-empty type of person.
I’ve been falling behind on the Federation podcasts…#185 features Khago, Terro 3000, J.O.E., Elly Ess, Collie Buddz, Shaggy & Alaine, Eminem & Vybz Kartel, G Shock riddim (D&H/Subkonshus), Saudi Arabia Riddim (Pure Music), Island Vibes riddim (Chimney), Captain Riddim (Yard Vybz) and more.
I’m always happy to sit and stare at reggae album covers for a while so I enjoyed this post by my friends at Deadly Dragon Sound, which features artwork and information about Limonious and Jamaal Pete – two of Jamaica’s most prominent cover artist/designers from the ’80s.
All my Tokyo people: check this gallery exhibit of photography by Yuri Shibuya, opening this Friday. Yoroshiku.
Better Must Come post up a new mix covering Roots & Culture in 2010. Hit the link for the track list.
Being quite the fan of Don Corleone’s production, I’m really looking forward to this new dub effort of his.
Yet another reason by BBC > American TV. Here’s the full length from Reggae Britannia, a documentary which aired recently on BBC4. In case the title doesn’t make it clear, it’s about reggae in the UK. Via the good people at Nice Up!
Shoulda posted this one earlier…the annual Ragga Muffins Festival is going down in Long Beach this weekend!
Here’s another reason why BBC is greater than anything else in entertainment. Rastamouse is a new kid’s show about a crime fighting reggae band called The Easy Crew. Via The Home Office.
