Jah rastafari
July 05, 2011, 11:17:12 am
Given that there is a thread for dnb, funky fresh beats, techno and hip hop I thought it was about time there was one for some decent music  :P

So I'll start off with a pod cast series by the great Mikey Dread http://insomniaradio.net/2010/10/17/ir-dread-at-the-controls-6-singers/ you can download the whole 6 episodes from there, also they suggest that the last episode was probably the last thing he produced before he died.

And my favourite track from the great man

I wasn't aware of Austria's thriving reggae scene  :-\

Slightly mainstream reggae but I love the whole of the A side of Max Romeo war ina babylon especially one step forward



and the more predictable.......

Nice!

Germany's got an absolutely massive scene... So I suppose Austria's just next door.

Here's Italy's favourite ex-pat... Massive tune!

I take it you all have the limited edition Sharma Rasta Rope to accompany your tunes?

For those of a more dubstep persuasion this remix of Mr Perry's track is very good.

Nice one Chris - I love yard style music but I don't know much other than what I happen to hear from recommendation, so I'll be keeping tabs on this thread!

The BBC had a Reggae season on recently and the highlight for me was the Story of Rocksteady, and on there was a sublime bit of footage (among a few actually) of Derrick Morgan performing 'Tougher than Tough', which really touched me:

Great find Underground. Did you see how much he was enjoying singing that?

Apparently this is often cited as the first true Reggae single????

Have a bit of North West London's finest..... Gappy Ranks!

Saw this guy with David Rodigan (http://www.rodigan.com/) in Sheff recently and he was superb, this is my favourite studio track as everything else is slathered in Autotune... Shame really as he don't need it.



Also I recomend checking Rodigan's show on Kiss Sunday's from 11pm - Man's a legend.. You can get repeats here http://kube.totalkiss.com/

:D

 :2thumbsup: some great tracks, especially the Derrick Morgan shizzle.  I've been reading a good book called the dead yard which is about modern day Jamaica but with a real strong emphasis on music.

I'll start off my contribution today with a female vibe

One of my all time favourite tracks, it's the most i've paid for a 7"



Another classic from Joe Gibbs, I'll have to have a whole day of posting Joe Gibbs productions one day




Love this track t, but I think it's Lee Scratch Perrys influence that makes it so good, and having it in stereo is great

Good selection! Reminds me of my favourite Garnett Silk track:



Gone but never forgotten!

Loads of amazing old tunes being rinsed out here today - Just so you don't forget there's still some quality productions coming outa JA...

This guy's just starting out but he's produced by Don Corleone and his debut album features both Kymani Marley and German Reggae heavyweight Gentleman..



If you like this then here's a free album sampler.

Nice selections a gwaan, I'm saving these up for a late night sesh at the weekend.

I was a: too young and b: as far removed, socially and by family attitudes, from the UK sound system scene back in the 80's, but have had a minor education courtesy of a friend who was part of 'Wadada' sound (not the european one that's around nowadays) from up Huddersfield way and who warmed up and clashed with the likes of Saxon and Coxsone, Jah Shaka etc, and he introduced me to the utter delight of watching Rodigan dominating a soundclash  ;D

I love the whole sound system thing, live DJs and MCs taking control using what was by modern standards, totally basic, improvised electrics......

Just some stuff I've watched before on youtube after my man told tales of sounds and blues happening way before my time....







I have always loved Rockers since I first saw it, after owning the soundtrack CD since I was old enough to buy random bargains in HMV - classic 70s film starring a number of the Jamaican stars of the time, some great dialogue and music, and a downright good film
